200mL of sin!!!!!!
After a long day of shopping on a rainy day, me and my mom wanted to have nothing but ice creams for dinner. I know. Sandy's is not exactly an ice cream place. But, hey, there is no better chance, to make my mom visit a place like Sandy's .
Yeah, she usually never gets out of the house to eat and that's the case with most moms.
Sandy's Chocolate Laboratory, is one of the cafe/restaurants, I would add to the Chennai's very own (read as 'pride') establishments in the F&B sector.
Their interiors are simple and chic. Their cutlery perfectly matches the name.
I have usually had their That really tiny Chocolate Cake and Nutella Bar. I like them both. But I always find it difficult to finish the tiny chocolate cake which leads to both guilt and gluttony. :P
This time I ordered Happy Jack for my mom and since I was thirsty I ordered the dark chocolate milkshake from their specialty shakes.
The happy jack arrived first in a beaker. I am a big fan of peanut based desserts. So it was absolutely delicious.
My dark chocolate shake arrived late. And with no straw and only a spoon. I was surprised and unconsciously was smiling as wide as I could.
On my goodness. The texture, the taste, right amount of sweetness ooh my god - I am craving for it now as I write.
I dint realize that I hardly shared the shake.
It was absolutely lip smackingly yumm. I finished the whole beaker, shamelessly cleaned the beaker and called it 200 mL of sin.
I will probably review their food separately as I want to dedicate this to the management's innovations and special concoctions.
Desserts - 5/5
Service - 3/5 (Either the waited forgot my order or the staff forgot to make my shake. But they totally made up to it by serving a delicious shake)
Ambiance - 4/5

Late lunch options!
The place has great ambiance. A really good place to dine in. The place has top notch desserts with brownie blast(Brownie with Vanilla Ice cream) being my favorite.
The Cheese burger and fries are good too.
The service is quick and good.
The food is a bit over priced.

Summer Lunch at Sandy's
One of those days when impromptu plans were made and I met a friend of mine for lunch. Neither of us were really hungry, it was proving to be a long day and added it was the sweltering summer sun. After a few messages we decided to meet at Sandy's, Wallace garden. Walked in, found a table for 2 near the counter and began catching up. We ordered drinks, she a ginger ale and I went for a Lychee fizz. Hers arrived in a can, while mine was served in a beaker with a pink straw. For someone who hates the sight of pink colour, i enjoyed every sip of this drink, maybe 'cos i love lychee.
For lunch, we chose light food- I ordered for the Tabouleh salad while she chose the Falafel wrap. The place was empty when we walked in, but within minutes it was packed. There were groups of 2-6 filling the tables. A family of 4 arrived, with a little boy and a girl who insisted on sitting in the center, on the bar stool type seating. They had to be helped up by their parents and animatedly began pointing to things on the shelf and talking.
And there came our food. Mine looked green and inviting, hers neatly wrapped up in butter paper served alongside a cucumber dip and potato wedges. My salad was fresh, rich and filled with flavour, loved it.
We skipped dessert and headed home. Now that is what i call Lunch- light and yet refreshing. Sandy's never fails to please.. :-))
If you are wondering where to go for a quick lunch or some yumm desserts, this is where you should go. They have quite a variety of food and desserts that will leave you licking the plate clean.. Not only is the food good, but service is also top notch. The staff leave you alone, without constantly coming over asking if you need anything or if all is good....
One of my earlier visits here was with a band of friends and we demolised the OMG... :-)

Food poisoning.
We went there at 9:30 on a weekend and had the yellow curry thai burger. The buns were hard, the patty was a bit undercooked and much worse than Mc'ds. As I was hungry - I ate it, regretted it the next day and the week following that. Damn, food poisoning.
Emailed them, yet to receive a reply. Not going back again.
The decor is bad, the appetisers are too small for the price, vegetarian options are limited and the service is poor. Overall disappointed in the downward slope of Sandys. I remember when they were innovative and their quality was good. Too bad it was short lived.
On the positive side I lost 2 kilos from food poisoning.

Bring spoons, sauces & food. Because they are STINGY.
Seriously disappointed at how bad this place is. First off this place looks like a government school. Cemented floors and plastic chairs. YUCK.
The servers are absolutely rude because you expect them to "serve", instead of sight seeing. They take 15 minutes to bring anything. "Why is there no lettuce in the falafel ?" "Saar, thatz all we avep", "Why is there no spoons" "Saar look dere fark" they just argue and give excuses. No apologies, they giggle when they do something wrong. Giddy idiots. They allot half a tissue paper per person - fancy.
The quantities are microscopic, they don't even have chili sauce or spoons or condiments or food for that matter. I ordered hummus and got like 5ml of it - WTF ? Did I order food or cough syrup ? Even a shot of alcohol has more content than their dishes. This isn't a high end gourmet place, but it sure is priced like one. Food is too bland, needs tons of chili flakes and sauce (which they don't give) to have flavor. Not worth it at all.
Desserts are too sweet. Innovative, but so sweet that even the spoons have diabetes. Unlike other items at this place,there is an excess of sugar. They probably steal it from ration shops or something.
So don't forget to bring your own food, spoons, condiments and napkins when you come here for your shot of hummus and diabetes, on second thought - DON'T GO. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.

Dessert Paradise
Ever since they switched to the current location, Sandy's has become one of my favorite hang out spots. The Nutella Chocobar is just exquisite. The Cheesecake is famous throughout the city. The service is fantastic. The Setting perfect. One of Chennai's finest Dessert spots

Pricey but good food
I have been hearing of Sandy's Chocolate Lab ever since I came to Chennai a year or so back. The name itself is quite curious so I thought it must be like a chemical lab where they let u do fun experiments with chocolate. No such luck! Though they do serve their drinks in lab apparatus like beakers the quirk factor ends there. However, I am not displeased with their food which though served in small portions, are pricey. But good. The place is more popular with youngsters due to their desserts. The signature dishes - the tiny chocolate cake which is anything but and petit 4, teeny tiny desserts. We had stuffed chicken with cheese and chicken served with whipped potatoes (that must have hurt) which was tasty and fish in orange sauce which was not so great. That followed by Everything But - flash baked cake with molten chocolate topped off with icecream and whipped cream and a tiny truffle. It was nice, not to sweet but tasty. The ambiance is good and the service pretty quick. I'd go there again.

First Footsteps - Despite being placed at the heart of Chennai's dining haven, Sandy's incomplete Black & White Zen theme fails to create the atmosphere of exclusivity and privilege one expects at such a posh vicinity.
Meeting the Menu - The menu succeeds where the decor does not, appearing intriguing and giving you a wide selection among several hand crafted signature desserts.
The Steward and his Service - Sandy's has a fabulous reputation, and service does not fall short as the waiters are accustomed to large crowds. There's no rushing about, but that's all right because none of the clientele are in a rush either.
Settling in your sofa - As I said, not up to what you would expect. Apparently, cheap plastic chairs are their trademark.
Finally the Food! - The trick to to enjoying your dessert at Sandy's is choosing what you like. Each dish has been designed to be unique - which gives you fifty fifty odds of either enjoying your meal or being horrified at what you are going to have to pay for. All their creations are served up with care and panache. The Nutella Chocobar is a generous slab of light and velvety chocolate mousse with a strip of darker chocolate at the surface, layered above a soft chocolate cake base; it was just marvellous. The most impressive element of the Inside Out Cake was when it was lit up at the table with a blowtorch; the cake itself was lacklustre, and only the ice cream beside it and the molten chocolate centre salvaged the dish.
Paying the Piper - The dishes served at Sandy's won't be found anywhere else in the city. However, the substantial price cannot be justified until they provide you with a complete dining experience, all bells and whistles included - which means a better ambience and more attentiveness to even trivial customer needs.
BOTTOM LINE - The immense popularity of Sandy's Chocolate Laboratory is a testament to their culinary prowess. The realm of perfection is well within their grasp if but a few issues are dealt with. It's one of a kind charm ensures it's never forgotten.
PS - There are vegetarians, eggetarians, non vegetarians, and finally, strange people who roam the city in an endless search for good cake. I'm afraid I belong to the last category, so don't ask me how the food was, I didn't eat there! Or, maybe I did and I'm too lazy to write about it...

Sandy's at Wallace Garden
sandy's chocolate laboratory is located On Wallace Garden Road, next to Subway.
The servers are friendly and the design of the place is quite well done.
Coming to the food, the panko chicken was breaded and crumb fried and crunchy. My friend had the penne arrabiata, and the portion was nice and large. The pasta sauce was big on flavours and tasty.
chicken lasagne - The pasta layers were well defined and the golden melted cheese is heavenly ! I had a white Chocolate Milkshake to end it all.
Overall its a very comfortable place for a group or as a date.

High on Chocolate!!
Man!! this place is crazy. All the desserts they give are deadly. Definitely a bud numbing sensation. You will definitely get high on chocolate and sugar once you come out of here. Ok enough of scaring you people. Well, Sandy's Laboratory is an awesome hangout spot especially if you wanna go with your girlfriend who loves chocolate. The desserts they serve are of high quality and very smooth. The pancakes are also very decent and especially the maple syrup tastes good. If you are in a group, you should definitely go for the bucket of ice cream they give. They have a very unique ambiance and serve all things in laboratory equipments which if you ask me is superrrr cooolll!! It a little heavy on the pocket but definitely worth it.

Bud numbing chocolate experience
I would need forever to describe a place like sandys. It is a never ending chocolate madness for me, right from the chocolate shots to its signature dish OMG. Sandys is probably THE BEST place for choco-holics.
My personal favourite would be the TINY CAKE, which is not-so-tiny as it sounds. It is a complete chocolate treat - a chocolate pastry with generous amounts of chocolate cream and obviously, chocolate sauce, overwhelming you in every bite. A single pastry that can fill upto 3 people!
The servings are all in beakers and test tubes that add on to the bud numbing chocolate experience!
They also offer a wide range of snacks, pastas and bakes that just makes this place so irresistible.

A good place to dine
I often visit /order from sandy's for 2 reasons, they have good food, and they are open 11-11. this place is a great option for late lunches when most other places wouldnt be serving at the time.
They have a good variety of dishes, all day brekfast options (the french toast is good), pastas(the pesto based, arabiatta are good from what i have tried), sandwiches (shawarma / falafel) are all good. Their cheeseburger was supposed ot be higly rated, and being a steak and burger afficiando, I was tad disappointed, as the bun used was kind of a flat bread, and the patty though a nice big portion, I felt wasnt cooked or made they way a burger should be made. I dont know if its coz of the ground meat-fat ratio, the amount of time they cook. Similarly for the steak, the portion seemed a bit small.
Pricing though its not as expensive as other fine dining restaurants serving italian in the vicinity, it is still a tad high, but the quality of food makes up for it.
The place has a very simple setting, nothing too fancy making it a good place even for casual meetings.
The desserts deserve a seprate review on its own, and I havent tried most of them, so a review maybe later.
Parking space is available, which is like heaven considering the difficulty to find one.

Great desserts, but expensive
We visited on a weekday, pretty late in the evening (around 10PM) - there were still quite a few people - mostly youngsters, and a few older couples.
We had the Brownie Shocker and Inside Out.
Brownie Shocker is a thick chocolatey drink/shake, served in a 250ml beaker. Exquisite taste - I am sure the calories in it will serve adequately for a meal.
I have enjoyed the molten lava chocolate cake abroad - this sounded like it. It's close, but not the same. Small portion, but again, the calories add up pretty fast, I bet.
Go there, if you want a different experience, and don't care about the bill.

What can I say?
My high point was when I found out they served breakfast all day. Yes, at 830pm too!
The apparatus they served food in unique. Thats where it ended. Expensive food, salty bacon (ugghhhhh!) and good service tarnished by taking forever to process my check! I had to walk up to the billing counter to ask back for my card. Rude cashier! Not to forget - when they serve you bread you gotta ask for butter and jam!

Strictly for Chocolate lovers
True to it's name , Sandy's Chocolate Laboratory , almost every dish is served in Chemical Apparatuses such as a beaker,conical flask , etc.
Good ambiance .
The staff don't let you sit wherever you wish to, even if the place is almost empty .
Place your order only after you know what you're gonna get for it . Expensive stuff but worth a try for a first timer .
Try out the Tiny Cake and Everything but. Loved them both.
Quantity is lower than what you'd expect
Best place for all Chocolate lovers.

The Great Descent
Why do most Indian restaurants and cafes start out with a bang and walk on whimpering?
When I first went to Sandy's they had an eclectic dessert menu with different types of options: drinks, concocted desserts, simple-slab desserts, breakfast-type desserts, fondues, etc. Now they're compressed everything into a simpler menu and my favourite item isn't there anymore! This makes me very, very sad.
Let me describe to you what the brownie shocker meant to me. It was the equivalent for a nice, cold beer at the end of a tiring day (although Indian beer is awful and I don't work hard enough to have a tiring day). It was a stunning compromise between a drink and a solid dessert. It had a brownie in it but not as a brownie. You could chew the drink and drink the chunks. And now it's off the menu. Why, Sandy's, WHY?!
The cheesecake is subpar and lacks flavor. The tiny cake is pretty good, the chocolate tart is a little overpowering. Their tiramisu is exactly like the one from Sinful Something/Ox and Tomato, so I'd rather get it from there. They used to have a layered chocolate dessert with a test tube filled with chocolate sauce in their old menu (choco fudge something?) and that was also delish, but I think that's been removed from the new menu too.
Frankly, I have no reason to go to this place anymore. It's become another generic cafe.

service is lacking and food is poor
My husband and I went for Sunday morning breakfast at Sandy's. We are expats, and we were hoping for a taste of home.The food and service were terrible, and we won't be returning. It is absolutely not worth your money.
The food:
The pancakes and waffles had NO flavor. The pancakes were not the texture of American pancakes, nor were they comparable to European crepes. In fact, they seemed like they could have been fresh out of the microwave.
The "hash-browns" were not hash-browns, but rather some type of potato mix baked into a block.
And if you are hoping to actually eat some bacon in Chennai, don't get your hopes up. Whatever "bacon" was served was certainly not like any bacon I've ever consumed.
The scrambled eggs were good and the coffee was fine.
The Service:
It was extremely lacking. With approximately 14 people in the cafe, one would think that the five employees (not even counting the chef) could provide adequate service. However, we waited for over an hour for our breakfast, and part of our meal (pancakes and coffee) didn't even come until 30 minutes after the eggs/toast/bacon/hashbrowns -after we had to ask about it. People around us had to ask multiple times for salt/pepper, ketchup and water. Multiple people resorted to getting salt/pepper for themselves.
The laboratory theme is cute.

OKayy (needs 5 characters!)
Actually tried the one in EA mall.
First thing that crossed my mind was that the items are very costly.
Hoped the taste would be great for the price, but not that much. The white chocolate cake which was over rs100 was all dried out and very normal except for the white chocolate icing.
Liked a few names like tiny cake for actually a very big cake.
Anyways, the place is just ok although the person who served us was friendly and nice.

OMG they shrunk the place!
For someone who's known and been to Sandy's only for their OMG, it was a different experience to try out other desserts! No wonder Chemistry is such a overrated word, I had a hot chocolate in a conical flask and beaker! Chocolates and everything to do with chocolates are what are good, I wouldn't recommend anything else like a latte which do not invlove chocolate!
Wish the Nungambakkam one looked as spacious as before! We had a struggle to find a table for 6!

No place for two!!!
Earlier I liked the place, the staff is kind of unfriendly. Won't let you sit in the space for six even when there is no one else in the place.
Won't let u keep the menu for long time. The chocolate milk they give at the end spoils all the taste. Go their at your own risk.

A Bunsen burner would have been nice
They sure weren't kidding about the "laboratory" bit. The dark chocolate milkshake that I ordered came in a beaker and I felt a little underdressed (I was not wearing a lab coat) drinking from it. But the milkshake itself was more than excellent. A good milkshake should laugh and smirk in the face of cholesterol and this one did a good impression of Mogambo in the health department. The place itself is rather tiny and cannot accommodate more than a couple of Yuvraj Singhs but the overall atmosphere is pretty good.
I also had the Hummus and I must say, it took me to the streets of the West Bank, although I've never been there myself, but you get the picture.
Folks who ordered the Chocolate Frappe were disappointed to find out that it was nothing more than cold coffee, but I was disappointed with people who expected Chocolate Frappe to be anything more than well..cold coffee.
There were other worthy mentions on the menu, like the eyeball attracting "Funky Monkey" which came in a beaker and test tube. General rule of thumb: the more you pay, the more chem lab apparatuses arrive at the table.
I am in fact looking forward to the "Chocolate Tea", which I personally believe should come with a full Distillation setup.

Give it a visit
First off, finding this place is not difficult if you know where to look. Just opposite Taj Coromandel there's a road going in. Follow the road and you'll find Sandy's on the left side opposite "Timber".
Small place, would probably seat around 10 people. But well kept and neat. The main course items (of course, not important) are written on a board and you can order them.
We had Bassa Fish with Pistachio, Carribean Chicken with Salad and Waffle Cake Toast. All 3 tasted very good, though the last one was a bit less when it came to quantity.
Moved on to the real deal, the actual main course. Was unable to order the "Ultimate Sin" , cos they didn't have it today. gave the "Pick me up" dish a try. You may or may not like it depending on your taste for alcohol. But it was alright. Sampled the "Everything But" and "Funky Monkey". Both concoctions of chocolate that will satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth ten times over, and give you a heart attack with all the whipped cream on it. It is pretty much the next taste of heaven I'm having after my time visiting every Swensen's parlour I could find in Thailand. Both came with a shot of chocolate sauce and a choco-chip cookie.
I sincerely ask that you give "Everything But" a shot. Whipped cream, dark truffle, fresh chocolate cake, vanilla bean icecream.... my god the list of stuff in it is endless.
Overall the food's really good. Quantity might be a bit on the lower side for certain items under the "Feel Good Potions" part of the menu considering the price, but the high pricing is expected considering the locality.
I actually went to Sandy's since I heard about this branch opening on Burrp. Will definitely return another day.
The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because they should have one staff member always in the dining area. We felt there was no one to take orders the minute we wanted to order sometimes. And no one was there to hold the door open or say thank you when we got up to leave.
I've uploaded a picture of the seating and "Everything But". Do take a look and stare in awe at this marvellous mug of chocolate goodness.
As for parking, I suppose you could put 2 cars inside the building's parking are comfortably.

Deals of the day- Mergers and acquisitions
(Adds Bahrain Telecommunications, Petroleo Brasileiro, State Bank of India)
May 17 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers, acquisitions and disposals were reported by 1330 GMT on Tuesday:
** State-controlled Petroleo Brasileiro SA plans to sell 5- and 10-year dollar-denominated bonds as early as Tuesday, alongside a repurchase of up to $3 billion of debt due in 2018, in an effort by the debt-laden Brazilian oil producer to cut repayment risk in coming years.
** Office Depot Inc said on Monday it was considering selling some of its European operations, nearly a week after the No.2 office supply chain and bigger rival Staples Inc called off their merger due to antitrust concerns.
** Activist investor Carl Icahn has raised his stake in American International Group Inc by 5.2 percent, putting him in a better position to pressure the insurer to split into three independent companies.

This is a discussion on New Legislation for No Carry Zones within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; It's a long shot but fingers crossed! To repeal No Carry Zones. http://www.clickondetroit.com/politi...94/detail.html...
It's a long shot but fingers crossed! To repeal No Carry Zones.
Good luck!

"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
As an adjunct to the subject of no carry zones, I find it ridiculous to find so many conflicts literally anywhere--ie: I am out and about doing my thing and am CC---I want to go to the post office to drop off a package or buy some stamps---I have to drive home and put away my firearm because I am not allowed to have the firearm in my car anywhere, when on post office property. Utter nonsense. Surprised that Homeland Security has not started pat downs everytime you enter a federal building or property. Can just see it now--"get out of your car and spread your legs"
The poll on whether this should pass is 86% in favor 14% opposed. That pretty impressive, but I suspect it might be slanted by a pro gun audience. I am not familar with Click On Detroit, but I assume it's a pro gun web site.
Still I urge everyone here at DC that is from Michigan to send a letter to their senator and state representative urging them to vote yes.
Human Beings understand Reason, Compassion, and Dignity
Predators understand Strength
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans
Don't ever think that the reason I'm peaceful is because I don't know how to be violent

Do you think Michigan should repeal the so-called "no carry" zones law?
Choice Votes Percentage of 1,141 Votes
Yes 997
No 144
Thank you!
I never thought that we would be able to carry in Michigan, but it changed.
The gun free experiment is over, and has proven a failure.
It is time to repeal all the silly laws, including carry on aircraft.
If we could have carried on flights there would never have been a single hijacking not to mention 911!

by Missy Idso, DCW Staff
After returning to the top 12 in 2001, the Colts Drum and Bugle Corps have unleashed a new set of visual staff introducing a new motivation that will change the way that the Colts learn and present their program for their 2002 season. Their show, "Revelations," was debuted to fans and the Dubuque community at the 18th annual Spring Debut Concert with the Colt Cadets. It opened with guest performances by the Dubuque Youth Chorale and the Dubuque Senior High Drill Team and Color Guard.
"I thought the camp went very well, and it makes me anxious for tour," said Colts Drum Major Tim Champagne. "I'm really looking forward to getting out on the road."
Tim and his identical twin brother Nic, both third year members, have stepped up to take over the responsibilities of drum majors for this season.
As described by the Colts staff, Revelations is a journey of human life in which each individual is brought into an always-growing process of "wonder, inquiry, discovery and frustration." The program includes four pieces that develop the process of self-actualization. It begins with Dawn by Joaquin Turina from 5 Miniatures, which is full of life and glory, parallel to the "spiritual birth of the human soul."
Concertino for 4 Percussion and Winds, by David Gillingham, develops the learning and growing portion of the production. Visually, with the new designs of Peter Weber and the rest of the staff, it will metaphorically display the contrast, defeat and success that many people in our lives.
The mood changes as Be Thou My Vision, also by Gillingham, is introduced. It contains all of the elements in a traditional Colts ballad, including a "beautiful underlying melody, a powerful climax, and a gorgeous down ending," as described by Brent Martin, a four-year member of the contra line.
The final piece, New Century Dawn, by Gillingham, brings realization and explanation to the prior conflicting and questioning emotions.
"The concept is something I feel will mean a lot to members as the summer progresses," Champagne said. Individuals in the activity commonly go through a combination of the emotions throughout their experiences, whether it is their rookie year or their age-out summer. Drum corps is a growth process, starting with doubt and wonder, growing to success and conquest.
The visual program for the 2002 season is receiving a facelift . . .


text: BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit Wireless Solutions , a leading global vendor of high-quality machine-to-machine (M2M) modules and value-added services, today announced the expansion of its long-standing relationship with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), marked by the introduction of a 4G LTE product and the development of variants for the company's top selling 3G modules in the xE910 product family. The complete portfolio allows Telit to offer form-factor compatible Qualcomm Technologies-based solutions for CDMA, UMTS and LTE radio technologies to address the communications needs of M2M and Internet of Everything (IoE) application developers. The LE910, based on Qualcomm Technologies' Gobi TM MDM9215, will be Telit's first LTE module delivered in the xE910 product family, and the company's second LTE offering, following the LE920 LTE automotive-grade module announced last year, also based on the MDM9215. In January 2013, Telit introduced two new xE910 modules—the HSDPA UE910 V2 based on Qualcomm Technologies' QSC6270-Turbo chipset and HSPA+ HE910 V2 based on Qualcomm Technologies' MDM6200 chipset—to address the growing demand for 3G solutions. Variants of both products with support for Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 are being planned. With the LE910, the xE910 product family is now poised to address not only the 2G to 3G migration, but also the growing set of opportunities and applications that require LTE. The Qualcomm Technologies' chipsets have enabled Telit to build the xE910 family to provide interchangeability between 3GPP2—CDMA (1xRTT, EV-DO) and 3GPP—UMTS (HSDPA, HSPA+) and LTE variants, making the adaptation of customer applications to regional technical requirements quick and easy while minimizing time to market and total cost of ownership. In the Telit booth at Mobile World Congress (Hall 5, G70) visitors can glean the breadth of the product portfolio at the "Qualcomm Technologies Corner," including existing and prototype products and their respective chipsets. Included in the display will be the LE910 product concept and a number of commercially available and prototype modules for the automotive industry.

Come Clean
Baltimore Sun Editorial
SO, WHAT Washington suspected all along turns out to be true. Karl Rove, political mastermind of the Bush administration, tried to squelch a report that undermined President Bush's rationale for going to war in Iraq by secretly discrediting the critic who wrote it.
A nasty tactic in any circumstances. But one that could have been dangerous, even deadly, in this case because it resulted in the outing of a CIA undercover agent.
Whether Mr. Rove can be charged with a crime has not yet been determined by the special prosecutor investigating the leak. But it's clear that while Mr. Rove may have stayed within the letter of the law, he certainly violated its spirit, as well as the supposedly high standards of conduct the White House has said the president sets for his staff.
Mr. Rove, now deputy chief of staff, should resign or be fired. Dismissal was the fate Mr. Bush and spokesman Scott McClellan said a year or more ago would await anyone in the administration who unmasked an undercover operative. Mr. McClellan also had dismissed Mr. Rove's involvement as a "ridiculous suggestion." This week, though, the White House is suddenly silent on the subject, with Mr. McClellan sounding, with his stonewalling at press briefings, for all the world like his Nixon-era predecessor, Ron Ziegler.
Two years have passed since the intrigue unfolded following the disclosure by former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV that he had investigated and found no basis for the claim that Iraq had sought to obtain nuclear materials in Africa - one of the administration's reasons for going to war.
Mr. Rove tried to steer at least one reporter away from the story, according to Newsweek magazine, by disclosing that Mr. Wilson had been sent to Africa at the urging of his wife, Valerie Plame, a CIA operative who dealt with issues relating to weapons of mass destruction.
Ms. Plame was not identified by name; in fact, Mr. Rove has said he never knew her name. But revealing that Mr. Wilson was married to a CIA agent outed her just as effectively, and may well have endangered her. How revolting it is to hear the tortured parsing of words that passes for Mr. Rove's defense in the matter: that he never "named" Ms. Plame.
Mr. Rove never came forward through all the White House denials and protestations of his innocence because he figured he could discredit Mr. Wilson to reporters and get away with it. Instead, the president's credibility suffers each day that Karl Rove remains on the White House staff.

I almost feel sorry for Bush. PNAC chose him as their man in 1999. Remember what they did to McCain in S. Carolina during the 2000 primaries? Classic Rove. Bush is in WAY over his head with Cheny, Rummy and the PNAC cabal. Following their advice has really screwed his plans to be remembered as a great President.

Speaking of China again, it seems that biomass could answer (partially at least) two of the country's biggest problems: pollution and energy source.
According to this study from AMBIO (a nonprofit publication of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences), China could reduce pollution as much as 46-60% using biomass-based energy. Currently, only 14% of China's energy is from commercialized biomass.
The authors of the study point out that public education on the use of renewable energy resources should be improved.
The good news is that investments in biomass energy in China seems to be getting in good shape. According to GE Energy last June, 50 new biomass-fueled power plants are currently being built in the country and they are supplying the control systems.
GE says the 50 plants will each feature two, 12 megawatt power blocks that will generate a total of 7.2 billion kilowatt-hour/year, which is enough to support an average of 70,000 families in China. The first biomass power block is scheduled to start at the end of August 2008. All 50 plants will be operational by December 2010.
US-headquartered China Holdings Inc. announced in May that it expects to begin operation of its 5 biomass-based energy plants (with a total capacity of 250 megawatt) by 2010.

FRANKFORT - Republican Senate President Robert Stivers says he wants to improve the infrastructure of the state's seven river ports, an important piece of the state's economy, after visiting several in western Kentucky last week.
The Elvis Stahr Harbor in Fulton County handles more than 1 million tons of cargo each year on the Mississippi River, but it has struggled to stay open when the water level dips to 10 feet or less.
Port officials say they need to dredge the harbor every year. But state and federal funding shortfalls mean they can only do it once every two or three years. "Most of your counties don't have a port and they are not familiar with the significance of ports," Fulton County Judge Executive David Gallagher said. "There is not a lot of funding into the port area and they have to really compete for every dollar."
Stivers said he saw the importance of the ports, including several barge companies that employ hundreds of people. He said state lawmakers should discuss improving the ports' infrastructure as a way of expanding the state's economic opportunities. The port received $525,000 in federal grant money and $25,000 in state money for dredging this year, enough to work on the mouth of the harbor.

Martyn Rooney made his Olympic debut at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, making the final where he placed sixth. He was also a member of the 4x400m team who finished just outside the medals in fourth.
A mainstay on the anchor leg of the Great Britain 4x400m relay team, Martyn won silver at the World Championships in 2009 and then bronze at the 2015 edition.
He also made his second Olympic appearance at London 2012 competing in both the individual and relay events, and finishing fourth again in the latter.

Spiralling costs on a raft of contracts including the City's Cheesegrater skyscraper today dealt a £20 million blow to the UK's biggest structural steelwork firm.
Severfield-Rowen has been forced to gain breathing space from lenders, who agreed to waive tests of its banking covenants, and is poised to tap major shareholders for £50 million.
The firm admitted the "technical challenges" of the Leadenhall Street building are "significantly greater than originally estimated and will require longer timescales and greater resources to complete", turning a contract expected to make a profit into a £9.9 million loss.
A root and branch review of all its contracts after the cost overruns emerged last month also uncovered losses of £10.2 million on another eight deals. This will tip Severfield heavily into the red for 2012 while the board's expectations for this year and next are "somewhat lower".
Former chief executive Tom Haughey was sacked last month after the board said a "change to the leadership is required to re-establish confidence with all the group's stakeholders".
Severfield is also set to take a far more conservative view of risk after its review "identified a requirement for stronger contracting processes and discipline notably in execution and risk assessment, particularly in relation to its more complex contracts".
Executive chairman John Dodds, who took the helm temporarily following Haughey's departure, said he was encouraged by the backing of the banks and leading shareholders. The shares shed 9%, or 6.75p, to 71.75p.
Severfield's banks are RBS and National Australia Bank, while the top five shareholders are Prudential, M&G Investments, JO Hambro, Aviva Investors and Threadneedle.

Important news on oils to share:
The American Heart Association recently issued an advisory report stating that coconut oil is NOT healthy in your diet. If you are on a Paleo or Ketogenic diet, this might be especially key for you to read further. ❤
Of course, this report doesn't create any issue for topical use of oils as part of your beauty routine.
One thing I always remind my patients who love the sun as much as I do is that any oils (like coconut oil) that don't have SPF in them can actually increase the damaging effects of UV rays. My rule of thumb is no oils in the morning. I only use them to moisturize my skin at night!
One great oil to try is sunflower oil on your lower legs. We don't have many oil glands on our lower legs, so they get dry and ashy naturally. During summer, the chlorine and heat make this even more pronounced. I love an easy DIY solution, so give this one a try!

Happy Monday! Let's motivate to get one step closer to your most healthy, luminescent skin!
Today, I'm focusing on "inflammaging."
What is it?
Aging induced by chronic, persistent inflammation.
What causes inflammaging of the skin?
Lack of moisture (dry skin), an impaired skin barrier from overexfoliating or using harsh soaps, exposure to pollution, and eating the wrong things like SUGAR!
How to protect your skin: use an antioxidant serum every day, keep your skin well moisturized, limit exfoliating to twice per week, toss antimicrobial soaps an hand sanitizers, and DETOX from sugar as best you can!

Product is reasonable for the price
The bedding is nice in general. It looks as the picture does. However I do not care for the sheets as they are a cheap material that can tear at the stitching easily. The comforter is nice and somewhat thick. Overall I would most likely use this only for occasional purposes.Read More

Not 100% Cotton as Stated
I bought this comforter set for my teenage son. Although the set looks great and my son likes it. You should know that this comforter set is not 100% cotton as stated. The product description is incorrect. Both the comforter and sheets are 100% polyester (sheets are shiny and slippery). The comforter lining has a rough texture and I imagine that it will snag with wear and tear. Other than the fabric, this is a good looking comforter set for a reasonable price. I would recommend based on the colors and pattern, if you can live with "feel" of the fabric.Read More

Art Van opens first Chicago, Toledo area stores
September 28, 2013,
Michigan-based Art Van Furniture expanded into the Chicago area in July with the opening of a new store in Orland Park, Ill.
"We are thrilled to be part of the Chicago market and offer unprecedented quality, value, and customer service," Art Van Elslander, founder and chairman of the Warren, Mich.-based chain said in a release.
The store adds about 100 sales, delivery and management jobs, the company said. Five more stores are planned over the next few months in Ford City-Chicago; Batavia, Ill.; Bolingbrook, Ill.; Elston Avenue-Chicago; and Merrillville-Hobart, bringing 600 jobs to the area.
Earlier in July, the company cut the ribbon on its new 183,000-sq.-ft. distribution center in Bolingbrook, Ill., which serves the new market and employs 48 people.
Art Van also opened its first full-line store in the greater Toledo, Ohio, market on Sept. 7. The 90,000-sq.-ft. store on East Mall Drive in Springfield Township was built from the ground up and features an updated look for the company, including higher ceilings, more natural light and the incorporation of brick, stone, wood and other contemporary materials for a fresh, modern look.
The company said several additional bedding stores are planned for the greater Toledo region.

Here's why it took Gmail 13 years to stop scanning your email to target ads
When Gmail debuted on April 1, 2004, one of its numerous innovations was the fact that it scanned the text of emails in order to target ads. Though that made the advertising more relevant, it also struck some people as an invasion of privacy, leading to lawsuits, snark from competitors, and a controversy that has dwindled but never quite disappeared.
But now Google is dropping the use of email scanning for ad-targeting purposes. As Bloomberg's Mark Bergen reports, the decision was driven by Google Cloud chief Diane Greene—an increasingly influential figure within the company—and addresses the concerns of business customers who aren't comfy with anyone (even a computer) nosing around in confidential communications.
The new policy also applies to the free consumer-oriented version of Gmail. But Google will still use what it knows about you to choose ads: It's just that it will make decisions based on your searches and YouTube habits rather than the contents of your inbox.
Here's the screen Google used to explain Gmail ads back in 2004:
Scientists think there's a Mars-shaped object lurking in the solar system past Neptune
Scientists may have uncovered a planet lurking in the dark, all the way out past Neptune. Kathryn Volk and Renu Malhotra at the University of Arizona believe they have uncovered signs of a new possible planet with the mass of Mars. They believe its mass is warping the orbits of objects floating around in the Kuiper belt, according to New Scientist.
Last year, Caltech astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown used a similar methodology to predict the existence of a ninth planet (no, not you Pluto) farther out in the solar system. Volk's and Malhotra's "Planet 10" would be closer to home. They will publish their study in The Astronomical Journal, showing how the wonky, warped orbits are best explained by a new planet. "The most likely explanation for our results is that there is some unseen mass," Volk said in a statement. "According to our calculations, something as massive as Mars would be needed to cause the warp that we measured." She also told New Scientist that "it would have to be quite a fluke for this to not be a real effect."
Of course, not every astronomer is jumping on board with Planet 10's existence quite yet. Batygin pointed out to Gizmodo that there's still one big problem with this theory: "It runs into the problem that it hasn't been observed yet." We'll be over here watching Ancient Aliens while the astronomers sort this one out.

PayPal cuts off French white nationalist group as era of political boycotts heats up
In the new era of booming political boycotts, left-leaning activists are targeting the funding sources that keep their right-wing opponents online and in business. They scored a recent victory in France when PayPal and two big European banks, France's Credit Mutuel and Austria's Sparkasse, dropped their service to the French white nationalist group Generation Identitaire (Generation Identity). Canadian activist group SumOfUs says it will now target banking services that support U.S. white nationalist and other extreme-right sites, a topic we investigated recently. SC
In a rare move, Google starts purging health records from its search results
[Photo: Brandon Morgan]
There are very few things Google will intentionally remove from its search results—in fact, it used to be only seven things. Now the company has updated the list of what it will take down, adding a new criteria: health records. The change, reported by Bloomberg, comes after reports that tens of thousands of medical documents were indexed onto Google's search engine late last year.
Before the update, the list of delete-worthy content included revenge and child porn and personally identifiable information, including ID numbers, signatures, as well as bank and credit card numbers. Now Google has updated its policy to include "confidential, personal medical records of private people," Bloomberg reports. CGW
Smells like green spirit: Lime Skittles fans have hounded Mars Inc. into submission
Back in 2013, Wrigley/Mars Inc. decided to ruin lives and break up families by swapping out lime-flavored Skittles for green apple ones. The change induced tears, weeping, and wailing, rending of clothes, wearing of sack cloth and ashes, and whatever other forms of grieving Skittles devotees could unearth from Sophocles. In other words, some people complained about it on the internet.
Now fans of that "long lost" flavor have so aggravated Wrigley/Mars by flooding their social media channels with emoji-filled pleas (no emoji translator needed) that lime Skittles are coming back, albeit for a limited time. This summer Walmart (and only Walmart; take that Amazon!) will be selling "Long Lost Lime" packs of Skittles alongside packs of Skittles "Originals" (even, though, as purists will point out, lime was the original). It will tide us over until spicy Skittles are released.
Walmart seems to be making a push into the retro market since they were also the only outlet where '90s enthusiasts could find Oreo O's cereal and even Zima. It's a way for the company to compete in the sizzling grocery-store wars, especially because '90s kids and teens are now right in the target demographic.

Facebook is building an army of U.K. users to fight extremism
As Facebook continues to try to deal with the rise of violent and extremist content posted to its platform, the company is implementing a new tactic: empower (or outsource) outside groups to be watchdogs. Its latest program, launched in the U.K., will fund and train local non-government groups to monitor and respond to extremist content, even giving them their own platform to communicate directly with the company, Reuters reports.
Facebook—and other large tech companies like Alphabet—has been under fire lately from European governments over its inability to curb this sort of abusive content. The new program works alongside its artificial intelligence efforts, which aim to use technology to automatically take down flagged posts, as well as Facebook's army of outsourced content moderators around the globe.

SpaceX live-stream: Watch the refurbished Falcon 9 rocket blast off here
Elon Musk's private space-flight operation is gearing up for a doubleheader this weekend with the launch of two rockets. The first is a refurbished Falcon 9 rocket, which will blast off today from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. There's a two-hour launch window beginning at 2:10 p.m. ET. (A backup launch opportunity is scheduled for tomorrow at the same time.) If successful, the rocket will carry the first Bulgarian satellite into space. You can check it out via the live-stream below.
Another Falcon 9 launch is planned for Sunday. This one part of its Iridium mission and will blast off from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. More to come! CZ
Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop $120 "Bio-Frequency Healing" sticker packs get shot down by NASA
Goop had claimed the costly "Body Vibes" stickers were "made with the same conductive carbon material NASA uses to line space suits so they can monitor an astronaut's vitals during wear" and because of that were able to "target imbalances" of the human body's energy frequencies when they get thrown out of whack, reports Gizmodo. The thing is, NASA confirmed to Gizmodo that they "do not have any conductive carbon material lining the spacesuits" of astronauts.
But NASA didn't stop there. When told that the founder of the company that makes the "Body Vibes" stickers sold by Goop claimed he "found a way to tap into the human body's bio-frequency" but that "most of the research that has been collected is confidential and is held as company private information," a former chief scientist at NASA's human research division told Gizmodo: "Wow. What a load of BS this is." For its part, a Goop spokesperson now says the stickers were never formally endorsed by them and "based on the statement from NASA, we've gone back to the company to inquire about the claim and removed the claim from our site until we get additional verification."
This isn't the first time Goop has endorsed questionable claims, such as the claim that taking an Aleve is like "swallowing a hand-grenade." MG

Google now hides your private medical records from search results
The search giant added "confidential, personal medical records of private people" to the list of information it removes from search results, the company noted on its removal policies page. Though it's not common for medical practices or insurers to upload your medical records to the internet for all to see, sometimes records do get uploaded inadvertently or via hacks.
Today's move by Google should make it harder for people to browse your health history should the above have happened to you. Google's full list of information they now may remove from search results include:
• National identification numbers like U.S. social security numbers, Argentinean single tax identification numbers, Korean resident registration numbers, Chinese resident identity cards, etc.
• Bank account numbers
• Credit card numbers
• Images of signatures
• Nude or sexually explicit images that were uploaded or shared without your consent
• Confidential, personal medical records of private people MG
The OTC hearing aid market could boom in 2018—if Congress lets it
Forty-eight million Americans have some degree of hearing loss, but only a few get hearing aids—whether because of cost ($1,000-$6,000 per pair), denial of the problem, or stigma. Bypassing the trip to a doctor and making hearing aids available over the counter could get affordable products to more Americans, says the Consumer Technology Association.
How does it know? Because of the growth in a gray area of devices called personal sound amplification products. PSAPs don't have FDA approval as hearing aids, which means the makers aren't allowed to say that they help people with hearing loss, but obviously that's the intention and why people use them. PSAP sales have grown 40% since last year—to 1.5 million units and $225 million, according to a new study CTA released today. It expects the market to grow another 50% in 2018.
Bipartisan legislation sailing through Congress may further help. The Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017 would allow PSAP makers to finally claim that they do, in fact, help people with both mild (somewhat noticeable) and moderate (somewhat debilitating) hearing loss. CTA has set standards and today announced a logo (see below) to designate PSAPs that actually work well and won't be harmful by over-amplifying sound. The standards might serve as a guideline for the FDA if Congress approves the Over The Counter Hearing Aid Act this summer.
After being blamed for division, Facebook's new mission seeks to foster unity
On the surface, the new mission statement that social networking giant Facebook unveiled today, "Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together," doesn't sound all that different than the old one, "To give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected." But Facebook is a giant business, and it's taken a lot of flak recently for being a medium that propagates divisiveness. Step by step, Mark Zuckerberg's company has tried to tackle that reputation, with Zuckerberg's manifesto, with lots of new tools for combating the spread of fake news, as well as new systems for trying to keep terrorists off the service.
Facebook doesn't make changes to things like its mission statement without lots of internal discussion. So it's clear that the new one is about making the case that it's about building unity rather than just being a place for people to share their ideas–no matter what those ideas may be. As Zuckerberg put it today, "We need to give people a voice to get a diversity of opinions out there, but we also need to build enough common ground so we can all make progress together. We need to stay connected with people we already know and care about, but we also need to meet new people with new perspectives. We need support from family and friends, but we also need to build communities to support us as well."
It's a very optimistic message, and Facebook is going to have to do a lot to convince skeptics that it can be a force for positive change in a world that desperately needs one. It won't be easy, and it won't happen immediately. But as the largest community of people the world has ever seen, with nearly 2 billion active users, Facebook has the potential to be that change agent. "Our lives are all connected. In the next generation, our greatest opportunities and challenges we can only take on together–ending poverty, curing diseases, stopping climate change, spreading freedom and tolerance, stopping violence," Zuck wrote. "No single group or even nation can do them alone." DT

Scott Jagow: Which brings us to those tax rebate checks.
Congress moved pretty swiftly on those, too. An economic stimulus package passed the Senate yesterday, and it's now on its way to the president for his signature. The $600 or $1,200 question is, will people really spend those checks? Danielle Karson reports from Washington.
Danielle Karson: Politicians are banking on people running to their nearest shopping mall to spend their tax rebate money -- or, in the case of this 25-year-old taxpayer, the nearest travel agent.
Young Taxpayer: I plan on going to vacation. I think I'm going to make a trip over to Colorado, pay for the plane ticket and all the expenses once I get there. So I'll spend it as soon as possible.
But experts who advise consumers on their spending habits have mixed feelings about that.
Nicholas Jacobs: We don't want to be the black cloud that rains down. But we do certainly think that there are a number of things that people can do when they receive their rebates.
Nicholas Jacobs is with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. He says what might be good for the economy can be bad for the consumer.
Economists say the stimulus plan will help in a sluggish economy by targeting the rebates at low and middle-income families, the folks most likely to spend the money. But Jacobs thinks the checks should be put to more practical use.
Jacobs: Paying down debt, putting money into savings, in the long run, will add to one's personal economic health, which we feel will add to overall economic health.
But Jacobs doesn't want to be a party pooper, so he says by all means, splurge -- in moderation.
Jacobs: People should have some fun with it, but $500 towards a $2,000 plasma screen TV still leaves you with $1,500 on your credit card. And that's what we would definitely counsel against.
Some surveys show that people eventually spent a good chunk of their tax rebates back in 2001.
Doug Elmendorf, an economist with the Brookings Institution, says they're likely to do the same thing this year. Still, there are no guarantees.
Doug Elmendorf: It's difficult to get inside peoples' heads and know what they're actually going to do. But historical evidence suggests that the most likely outcome is that people will spend a good share of the tax rebate, and that that will then help to keep the economy on a stronger path.
Elmendorf figures if people spend most of their tax rebate, they could boost the Gross Domestic Product by as much as 3 percent. If they don't, the stimulus plan will barely generate a blip on the growth chart.
Elmendorf: And this whole exercise will not have gotten us very far.
In Washington, I'm Danielle Karson for Marketplace.

Media Briefing on Lambda's Top Concerns in the South and Nationwide
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(ATLANTA) — Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund invites news reporters, editors, and producers to a February 1 media breakfast briefing about Lambda's top civil rights concerns for lesbians, gay men, and people with HIV and AIDS in the South and around the country.
The losses of September 11 have reminded America of the importance of safety nets for family members. Lambda's focus this year is on securing protections for gay family relationships, including for surviving partners of September 11 victims, youth, and ending anti-gay government actions. Current efforts on these issues and the outlook for Lambda's precedent-setting litigation and public policy work will be the highlighted at the briefing.
The briefing on Friday, February 1, at 10:00 a.m. will be hosted by Lambda Executive Director Kevin M. Cathcart, Legal Director Ruth E. Harlow, and Southern Regional Director Hector Vargas.
Cathcart will moderate the event, which will open with a short video presentation about some of Lambda's clients, "Winning the Case for Equality." Cathcart also will introduce Gregory Nevins, Lambda's newest staff attorney in the Atlanta-based Southern Regional Office (SRO).
The SRO is celebrating its fifth anniversary.
"Lambda is proud to keep growing along with continued advances in the South for the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, and people with HIV and AIDS," Cathcart said before the briefing.
"But we still receive daily, desperate calls for help–from parents torn from their children, young people harassed and denigrated at school, good workers fired from their jobs–and they tell us there is still much to be done to end discrimination in this region," he said.
Harlow and Vargas will describe national and regional trends and Lambda's legal and policy priorities.
Lambda is the oldest and largest legal organization dedicated to the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, and people with HIV and AIDS. In addition to its office in Atlanta, Lambda has its headquarters in New York, and other regional offices in Los Angeles and Chicago. Lambda's South Central Regional Office will open in Dallas in mid-2002.
WHAT: Lambda media briefing about national and southern civil rights concerns for lesbians, gay men, and people with HIV and AIDS. WHO: Executive Director Kevin Cathcart, Legal Director Ruth Harlow, Southern Regional Director Hector Vargas, and Staff Attorney Gregory Nevins WHERE: The Georgian Terrace, Conference Room No. 5, 659 Peachtree Street, Atlanta WHEN: Friday, February 1 at 10:00 a.m.

"I grew up wanting to be Captain Nemo from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
--Dr. Bob Ballard
Captain Nemo was an explorer who used his submarinecraft, The Nautilus, to navigate through an amazing underwater world. He had abandoned his life on land to explore the deep sea.
His world is discovered when a French scientist, his servant, and a harpooner named Ned Land set out to search for a terrible sea monster that is sinking ships, especially warships. Instead, they discover that the sea monster is actually The Nautilus, captained by Nemo. Nemo allows them inside the submarine and proceeds to take them on a global adventure under the ocean.
Captain Nemo is a hero because he designed and built The Nautilus himself. He was a scientist and an explorer, and was courageous enough to explore a place that no one had seen at that time. Jules Verne published the book around 1870, and at that time, not much was known about marine ecology. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Captain Nemo helped to educate people about the importance of preserving life under the sea.

Roadside Attractions released two of the most successful movies to open on VOD at the same time as in theaters – "Margin Call" and "Arbitrage" – but Roadside co-founder Howard Cohen defended studios and distributors who enforce a window between theatrical and home release.
Cohen sought to distance his company from its label as a champion of VOD at the Produced by Conference on Saturday, pointing out that his entire staff of 18 is dedicated to theatrical.
"We're very focused on keeping the theatrical window alive," Cohen said.
Also read: Blossoming VOD Service Viewster Adds BBC's 'Skins,' Starz and Shine Programming (Exclusive)
Cohen's comments came in response to producer Bill Block's ("District 9") assertion that the future lay in watching movies at home.
"Windowing has to end," Block said, noting that the future of indie film is with companies like Roadside.
Block earlier polled the audience to see who had seen "Disconnect," Henry Alex Rubin's 2012 thriller. Just a smattering of people raised their hands, prompting Block to say that people just didn't go to the movies anymore.
Cassian Elwes, who sold "Margin Call" to Cohen, said he actually sold him the movie because he believed he'd get a theatrical release.
"The irony about the VOD thing is the reason I sold 'Margin Call' to Howard is he was saying he might not send it off to VOD on the same day," Elwes said. "I had the same offer from someone else who said they would."
Previous movies released on VOD day-and-date had failed, which made the actors in the movie reluctant to promote it.
The movie went on to gross $13 million in theaters.
The cast "only tried to jump on the bandwagon when the movie was successful," Elwes said. "Then it was too late."

New Delhi: The modest two-bedroom flat on the third floor of Medha Apartment in east Delhi's Mayur Vihar was crowded with people since early morning on Sunday. Sitting in the cramped drawing room, everyone was watching the India versus Australia under-19 World Cup final on television.
As India inched towards victory, there was such overwhelming euphoria in the room that it seemed to be uncontrollable.
While the owner of the flat, Bharat Chand, a teacher of economics in a Government school, sat throughout the Indian innings to watch his son Unmukt guide his team to triumph with an unbeaten century, the Indian U-19 captain's mother, Rajeshwari, could not be spotted.
A homemaker, Rajeshwari only emerged from her bedroom after the match was over. Her eyes were tired, but had a twinkle of joy. "I was praying for Unmukt and the Indian team since morning. I generally never watch his matches as I get too excited," said the proud mother. Since the match in Australia was just over and the prize distribution was still going on in the ground, Unmukt was yet to call his parents.
But Rajeshwari already knows what would be his son's first sentence on phone. "He will tell me, 'Mom… Am coming back… Keep my Kadi-chawal ready

Oblivion - International Trailer
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.02.13
t's only a few months away before it hits theaters on April 12th. But today, we're getting a brand-new look at Tom Cruise's upcoming futuristic thriller "Oblivion," courtesy of this eye-popping international trailer, which showcases a few new scenes from the post-apocalyptic flick from director Joseph Kosinski (TRON: Legacy).
Set 60 years after Earth was severely damaged by a massive alien attack, Cruise plays Jack Harper, a simple "mop-up" repairman, who scans the now-abandoned planet for broken satellite drones, while doing some light security of the ravaged terrain. When a group of unknown space pods, containing human-like travelers, crash lands on Earth, Jack comes face-to-face with a mysterious woman (played by Olga Kurylenko) who may, or may not, be part of his past. Her arrival sets off a dangerous chain of events, exposing Jack to some shocking truths about his world, and putting him in the path of an underground group of human survivors led by a truth-seeking leader (played by a bad-ass looking Morgan Freeman).
The preview, which comes from the UK, offers a couple of nice glimpses of Andrea Riseborough (as Jack's shifty partner) and Melissa Leo (as their Southern-accented commander). Watch it above.
Tom Cruise stars in Oblivion, an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the director of TRON: Legacy and the producer of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one mans confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind.
Oblivion stars Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Melissa Leo, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Scholarly Communication
According to the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL), "Scholarly communication is the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use." Research library collections have traditionally been identified with the print record of such communication, but a number of developments during the past 10-15 years in the information landscape have begun to radically alter the way research is being published and collected by libraries.

10 Blackhawks Make Olympic Teams
The 2014 Winter Olympics kick off on Feburary 7 in Sochi, Russia, and Chicago will be well represented—at least on the hockey rink!
On Tuesday, Olympic hockey teams from across the globe announced their rosters. Ten Chicago Blackhawks players were recruited to represent their native countries.
Patrick Sharp will join Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith on Team Canada. Niklas Hjalmarsson, Johnny Oduya and Marcus Kruger were selected for Team Sweden. Marian Hossa and Michal Handzus will play for Slovakia. Patrick Kane will represent the United States and Michal Handzus joins the Czech Republic team.
Good luck out there, 'Hawks! Just make sure you come back to the Chi when you're done over there!
