Tweenbots Examine Human-Machine Empathy
The Tweenbots project by Kacie Kinzer examines the random kindness of strangers. She designed tiny smiling cardboard robots that rely on the help of pedestrians to get to their destination. The Tweenbots roll at a constant speed, in a straight line and are dependent on humans to steer them in the right direction to reach their final location (which is printed on a flag attached to the robot's body).
Kinzer talks about the results of the experiment:
The results were unexpected. Over the course of the following months, throughout numerous missions, the Tweenbots were successful in rolling from their start point to their far-away destination assisted only by strangers. Every time the robot got caught under a park bench, ground futilely against a curb, or became trapped in a pothole, some passerby would always rescue it and send it toward its goal. Never once was a Tweenbot lost or damaged. Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the "right" direction, if that direction meant sending the robot into a perilous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, "You can't go that way, it's toward the road."
The Tweenbot's unexpected presence in the city created an unfolding narrative that spoke not simply to the vastness of city space and to the journey of a human-assisted robot, but also to the power of a simple technological object to create a complex network powered by human intelligence and asynchronous interactions. But of more interest to me was the fact that this ad-hoc crowdsourcing was driven primarily by human empathy for an anthropomorphized object.
See the Tweenbots in action below.

Silver Dollar Values Prices Up, Sprott: The Way Gold Will Resolve Global Banking Debacle, Gold Price
Printing currency for liquidity, can't resolve these basic issues." My suggestion would be to purchase gold and silver to prepare for the coming monetary storms ahead. Better be safe, than sorry! Read on...
Eric Sprott and David Baker expand: The Committee's newest 'framework'
One of the most important facets of Basel III is that it will treat gold as an asset class. Many specialists think Basel III may officially label gold as a "Tier 1" asset in addition to money and AAA-government securities. Banks will have elevated incentive to select gold vs. money or bonds if gold is granted "a favorable liquidity profile below its proposed Basel III framework." Why would they select otherwise when gold continues to outperform the U.S. dollar and bonds? Rare Coins, Silver Coins, Gold Coins, Learn more >> http://www.silverpricestoday.cc/
Other banks across the globe - non-Western banks - have already adopted this philosophy in regards to their foreign exchange reserves, vulnerable to erosion from 'Central Planning' currency printing programs, according to Sprott and Baker.
Turkey and China are two nations that have been encouraging their citizens to own physical gold. Turkey is doing it to increase the country's financial savings rate "and propel loan development."
In the midst of all this, Basel III would add a new layer of regulation concerning relative liquidity of the bank's assets and liabilities.
Nevertheless, the Basel Committee and also the FDIC stay elusive. Apart from a study paper from April and one conference call on behalf of Eric Sprott, the groups have kept silent regarding gold's liquidity. Still, that paper and phone call recommended that gold will be give a 15% liquidity cut, even though which has not been officially confirmed from Basel or the FDIC. We'll simply have to wait and see if the fragile fate of our financial wywtem can be saved using the valuable yellow metal. Printing currency for liquidity, can't resolve these basic issues." My suggestion would be to purchase gold and silver to prepare for the coming monetary storms ahead. Better be safe, than sorry! How high will silver go? Learn more >> http://silverpricestoday.cc/

Former Trading Spaces host Paige Davis is set to co-host alongside Mark Steines the new Hallmark Channel weekday lifestyle series Home & Family, which premieres October 1. Home & Family, which has an order for 220 original two-hour shows over 44 weeks, will focus on home improvements, crafts, parenting tips, and lifestyle, health and fitness enhancements. It joins another new daytime series that will premiere on Hallmark Channel in Q4, a talk show hosted by Marie Osmond.
Paige Davis To Host New Hallmark Channel Daytime Show 'Home & Family'
6 Comments
isn't this a re-hash of the Cristina Ferrare how of 15-20 years ago? Where Kris Jenner was a contributor……(roll eyes)
Yes, it's true. It's a remake of the old Family Channel (now ABC Family) show that ran from 1996-98. The hosts were Cristina Ferrare and Chuck "2 and 2" Woolery (who was replaced by Michael Burger after the first year).
Where is Mad Hungry fitting in this Fall?
I will not watch any of the new shows if they don't have new episodes of Mad Hungry. It's the best cooking show on the air.
I think it is great that Hallmark are bringing back the premise that HGTV used to work on, before it got caught up on the rich people. It used to be fun to watch all the shows on HGTV for us poor folks; and learn things, and know the people on the shows, as friends.
It's about time this genre came back again.
I agree w/ you 100 percent Kari!!! I refuse to watch the Martha Stewarts of the world w/ their bad attempt at proper speaking banter & usually
rediculous recipes & not helpful at all DIY segments!!! Can't wait to watch Paige &Mark !!!

Research in my group is concentrated in two main areas. The first focuses on the static and dynamic properties of interfaces, concentrating in particular on the dynamics of steps on crystal surfaces. This link describes new experiments and theory for the motion of a noncentered screw dislocation that is confined to the circular top facet of a nanoscale lead crystallite supported on a Ruthenium substrate. As shown in the movies these crystallites relax by turning of the spiral step emerging from the screw dislocation.
The figure at the right shows step bunches caused by the adsorption of impurities on crystal surfaces during crystal growth. Click on the following to see movies and learn more about instabilities and patterns that can form during step motion. This research is supported by the National Science Foundation through the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Maryland.
The second main area focuses on the properties of inhomogeneous and confined fluids, and is supported by the National Science Foundation. We have developed a new Local Molecular Field (LMF) theory of nonuniform liquids, initially based based on a physically motivated analysis of the different roles repulsive and attractive intermolecular forces play in determining liquid structure (i.e., the molecular scale arrangements of particles) in simple atomic liquids like Ar or Xe. This approach can be looked on as a modern and quantitative implementation of the ideas of van der Waals, who first showed the advantages of thinking about the different effects of attractive and repulsive forces. Click here for more information about this work.
Our most recent research has focused on the conceptual and practical development of a general theory of nonuniform ionic and dipolar fluids (water in particular) based on a local molecular field (LMF) averaging of appropriately chosen slowly varying and long ranged components of the Coulomb interactions. The remaining short ranged components combine with the other short ranged molecular core interactions and strongly influence pair correlations between neighboring molecules in dense or strongly coupled fluid systems. The general theory can be viewed as a mapping that relates structure and thermodynamics in a nonuniform system with long ranged intermolecular interactions to those of a simpler mimic system, with short ranged intermolecular interactions but in a renormalized or effective single-particle molecular field that takes account of the averaged effects of the long-ranged interactions. In recent work we have shown that the theory takes on an especially simple and powerful form when it is applied to the basic Coulomb 1/r interaction alone (and not, e.g., to Lennard-Jones interactions as well). Click here for more information about this new work.
Both these areas involve properties of strongly interacting disordered systems, and we use the same fundamental methods of statistical mechanics to try to develop general quantitative theories that make contact with experiment. While we use computer simulations to refine and test our ideas, the main emphasis is on the development of new conceptual approaches where physical insight and intuition play an important role.

text: A very hot year and also very dry ; such years produce great vintages. Here is what we can say about this wine today : first, the wine shows great concentration of aromas and a lot of mellowness due to lovely tannins and a rather low acidity. A wine with a lot of fitness and harmony. One might compare it to the 1959 for its structure and mellowness. Similar weather conditions produced a rather similar crop.

In recent decades the USA has been undergoing significant moral and social changes, and some of these concern sexuality. We read about it and see it being reported in the media. We see it as entertainment on television and the movies. Now we see it on reality television. And its having an impact on our nation's laws. Many religious people, including Evangelicals, who don't approve of these changes are feeling pressure from society in general not to speak out about their opposition because they … [Read more...]

Is Jesus "Mighty God" or "Mighty Warrior" in Isaiah 9.6?
One of the primary biblical passages Christians cite to support their belief that Jesus is God is Isaiah 9.6. It reads in the NASB, "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."Hymns have always played a significant role in Christian worship. The translation "Mighty God" in Isaiah 9.6 has inspired many church hymns about Jesus. The one mos … [Read more...]
Marking Your Books and The Book
Joel J. Miller has a Patheos blog in the Evangelical Channel, where mine is. On November 1, 2013, he posted "Five Reasons You Should Write in Your Books," and it got a good response from his readers. Count me in, Joel! I've been doing that all of my adult life. But we're talking about nonfiction books.I have friends who think I've massacred my 2,500-volume library by doing the following to most of my books from cover to cover: underlining, highlighting, writing notes and making large … [Read more...]
As a Sinless Man Christ Made Him a Name, But God Become Man Detracts from his Fame
I believe the Christian story is far greater if Jesus was no more than a man and therefore not God. And I believe that is what the Bible teaches. Many of my Christian brethren (I know--most of them don't think I'm their brother in Christ because that's what they have been taught), besides objecting to my assertion that Jesus was and is not God, they are offended that I say Jesus was a mere man. I don't mean by this to be disrespectful of my Lord and Savior, Jesus. Heaven forbid!Jesus' virgin … [Read more...]
Zach Versus Tiger

This time Zach was four shots behind beginning the last nine and started stuffing irons so close to the hole that Tiger later commented, "I don't know why they … [Read more...]
Is Jesus God Because He Is Lord?
During antiquity, calling a man "Lord" usually was intended as no more than a polite address. On the other hand, kings were often addressed as "Lord" to signify their vested authority. Among Jews, rabbis could be called "Lord" to indicate both.The early Jewish Christians' primary creedal statement was that "Jesus is Lord." The Apostle Peter preached about it in his first sermon on the day of Pentecost following the Christ event. He proclaimed of Jesus, "let all the house of Israel know for ce … [Read more...]
What Are the Claims of Christ?
Many Christians, especially Evangelicals, speak of "the claims of Christ." They mean Jesus claimed things about his identity that are recorded in the New Testament (NT) gospels. Most of these people, called "traditionalists," assert that the greatest claim Jesus ever made about himself was that he was God. But NT evidence reveals that this is their claim, not that of Jesus. Strong traditionalist Brian Hebblethwaite well concedes, "it is no longer possible to defend the divinity of Jesus by refere … [Read more...]

By Rita Rubin, USA TODAY
Internet entrepreneurs have brought new meaning to the phrase "house calls."
Online companies with names such as "MDLiveCare" and "RingADoc" are diagnosing and treating common conditions such as allergies and the flu over the Internet or on the phone, forcing state regulators to revisit decade-old rules about what constitutes a doctor/patient relationship.
They cater to time-pressed consumers, who, for an out-of-pocket payment ranging from $25 to $40, can talk on the phone or chat online with a doctor or a nurse practitioner. Some employers offer the services as part of their health plans.
"We definitely are not trying to replace that primary care physician," says Jordan Michaels, a founder of RingADoc, which launched in mid-October and, for now, serves only California residents. Michaels and his competitors say they aim to replace the hassle and expense of visiting a doctor's office or emergency room for a minor problem.
ONLINE HEALTHCARE COMPANIES: Do they hurt or help the public?
BRITISH WEBSITES: Pushing boundaries of online medicine
Skeptics worry assessments of patients sight unseen, or via video cam, could miss signs of underlying conditions. Last year, a Colorado doctor was found guilty of practicing medicine without a license in California after prescribing an antidepressant to a 19-year-old student via an online pharmacy. The student committed suicide; the doctor got a nine-month jail sentence.
"None of these systems deal very well with undifferentiated problems of patients — (those saying) I'm tired, I don't feel good — and those are very significant numbers of patients," says Roland Goertz of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Most state medical boards permit doctors to diagnose and treat only those patients whom they've seen at least once in person. Jennifer Simones, chief of legislation for the Medical Board of California, says her state prohibits Internet prescribing without an "appropriate" prior exam.
The examination doesn't need to be in person if technology such as videoconferencing can provide the same information as a face-to-face visit, Simones said. Whether RingADoc or similar companies are in compliance can't be known until a complaint to the medical board triggers an investigation, she said.
No one keeps a tally of the companies, and no one has studied their quality of care. The Federation of State Medical Boards, whose current policy about doctors' communication technologies dates to 1996, will re-examine the issue at a March symposium, says federation president Humayun Chaudhry.
Such businesses "have become ubiquitous ... partly because people want instant resolution," he said. "If you have a doctor's appointment in two days, it's not soon enough."

Gino Gultier wanted a surprise. He met Angeleno online and told him to just come into the hotel room where Gino would be blindfolded. Angeleno walked in and saw him then went over and stuck his cock in his mouth. Gino didn't know who it was, he just sucked that dick until it was rock hard then laid on the bed face down and let Angeleno fuck him deep from behind. He took every inch of that dick as it slammed in and out of him then took the blindfold of just in time to get a sticky hot facial. Once Angeleno had came and left, Gino laid back on the bed and jerked off to the thought of what he had done.

First my usual disclaimer, caveat and reminder
I have given up on the idea of recapping this series. Instead I'll link to one of the many sites that DOES do a summary/recap (in this case you can find recaps and "Walter's Notes" here
Instead, I'll share a few thoughts and open this up for others to do the same. Make sense? Good. Let's get started
Review in a nutshell
Loved this one. How much? Enough that I decided to review it after vowing I wasn't. One reason it was so good is Leonard Nimoy but a big one were the more creative decisions - drinking mercury, the lights, the towers, etc.
Likes about this episode:
Love the idea of Charlie drinking mercury
Just as I was getting tired of Charlie, they found a way to get rid of him. Literally.
Like watching Walter dance a bit
Can't think of any this time with the possible exception of the use of the twin towers. I'm still deciding what I think about that choice.
LOVED Walter acting so, for lack of a better word, Walterly, with his lady friend.
Also Walter advising Charlie to try some cannabis before bedtime
Favorite Line
"Physics is a bitch"
So let me ask three questions about this episode and then you share some of your thoughts
This show sparked many questions, and answered a few as well. This site has a great list of burning questions that were answered.
The three main questions I now have are:
Is Nina really bad or was that misdirection by Charlie? I'm hoping for the latter otherwise it's just too predictable.
I'm still wondering about that kiss a few episodes back between Broyles and Nina. Should we infer something from that?
If Walter and William were partners why is Olivia so mad at William but less so for Walter? I can't wait for when William and Walter eventually meet up again.
Seeds related to this episode:
Leonard Nimoy interview and
Entertainment Weekly's review of this one
I want to end this review with - being a contrarian - the start of the E. Weekly writer's review:
Last night's thrilling Fringe episode may have been titled "Momentum Deferred," a reference to physics, but as William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) said, quoting Walter Bishop, "Physics is a bitch." No, what they should have called this episode is "Ring My Bell," after the great 1979 Anita Ward hit. For it was by the striking of a bell that Olivia was jarred out of a new alternate-world visit with William Bell, and this time, she remembered what he said… which was nothing less than a warning about a pending Armageddon in "our" world (i.e., "the last great storm"; "an inter-dimensional war").

Aesop Wild Lime Hair Polish at Barneys New York
Skyekat's recent recommendation of Aesop's Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm made me think of another one of my Aesop favorites -- the Wild Lime Hair Polish. It's their styling product for fine, limp hair. I am a performer and I tend to be very hard on my hair ... but on my off days, this is one of the products I like to use. It's gentle on my hair and provides just a little control and hold. It's not designed to build infrastructure -- just to keep your hair looking sleek ... and natural. The absolute best part is the fragrance -- it's a beautiful wild lime blended with other botanicals to keep the citrus scent true. Often lime fragrances can smell too masculine, but this is just gorgeous. I would love an entire line in this fragrance!

Madonna snubbed
Page Tools
Madonna performs her sold out concert in Manchester at the start of her European tour.
Even Madonna doesn't always get what she wants.
A deal for the pop diva to show a tape of one of her concerts on CBS has fallen through.
Madonna wanted the special to air for more than two hours and be commercial-free, said CBS entertainment spokesman Chris Ender.
The network wasn't willing to give up more than two hours of its prime-time schedule and insisted on commercials.
CBS had expected to tape the special somewhere during Madonna's European tour.
Concert specials have become increasingly popular for broadcast networks.

It ain't over yet in Wisconsin. On Friday, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Maryann Sumi took aim to temporarily thwart Gov. Scott Walker's highly contested law, passed last week, that stripped state employees of their collective bargaining power.

Upwards of 100,000 people turned out at a protest in the Wisconsin capital after Republican lawmakers and the Republican governor pushed through a new anti-union law eliminating most collective-bargaining rights for public employees.
On Wednesday night, protesters turned up en masse in the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison to register their collective discontent over the passage of Gov. Scott Walker's anti-union bill. The Associated Press compiled this montage of footage from the scene that evening.
The posse of Wisconsin state senators who left the building—not to mention Wisconsin—last month to thwart Gov. Scott Walker's campaign to quash state employees' collective bargaining powers proposed a meeting with the governor somewhere ...
The tea-party-enabled Wisconsin Legislature is working overtime to protect its governor.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, voicing his frustration with AWOL Democrats, was preparing to send layoff notices to 1,500 state workers as the stalemate over his union-busting budget bill continued.
Things got a little lively in Wisconsin on Thursday, as news hit the wires that the state Senate had voted to allow the arrest of more than a dozen Democratic senators who had fled the state in protest of Gov. Scott Walker's contentious union-busting bill ...
In this startling soliloquy, Jon Stewart takes stock of the current clime in and beyond, say, Wisconsin and comes to the conclusion that teachers—that's right, teachers—are ruining America. Watch and learn.

The Wisconsin syndrome? Just days after declaring that he favored collective bargaining for public employees, Florida's Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, changed his tune and said he now wishes it were not allowed in the Sunshine State.

Beyonce & Jay-Z Debut Blue Ivy!
Fans have been eagerly awaiting a glimpse at the the bundle of joy since she was born, and now Jay-Z and Beyonce's daughter Blue Ivy Carter has finally made her public debut.
The "Watch the Throne" rapper and his "Run the World" wife excitedly posted the first photos of their newborn to their website on Friday (February 10), hoping to subside the frenzy for the snapshots.
As for the pictures themselves, little Blue Ivy is perfection just moments after birth, sporting a head-full of thick black hair and porcelain-like skin.
New parents Jay and Beyonce are also featured in the photos, both beaming as they cradled their now four-week-old baby girl.
Additionally, the power couple attached a handwritten note with the pics, reading, "We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives," signed, "The Carter Family."

Hailing from Luttrell, TN, country heart-throb Kenny Chesney first made his mark in 1994 with his debut album, but it wasn't until a couple of years later that he started scoring major hits and making himself a household name. His straightforward, emotionally honest way with a romantic ballad is his trademark, distancing him from the gimmicky country-pop hat acts so plentiful in contemporary Nashville. In 1997, no less estimable a country personage than George Jones joined him on record, and he's garnered the respect of both young and old country audiences.

No Description Available.Genre: Country & WesternMedia Format: Compact DiskRating: Release Date: 26-SEP-2000
East Tennessee-born singer Kenny Chesney has, in the course of his relatively brief career, proven to be an unremarkable but thoroughly competent singer who shows occasional flashes of brilliance when teamed with the right song. That happens roughly half the time on this 17-cut compilation disc, which, despite its title, actually includes four new songs, one rerecording, and a remix. Amid soppy country-pop chart fodder ("Me and You," "When I Close My Eyes") and second-rate ditties ("How Forever Feels," "She Thinks My Tractor''s Sexy"), Chesney hits his stride on robust country ballads like "You Had Me from Hello" and the lead single "I Lost It." On other gems--like "That''s Why I''m Here," a heartfelt tribute to the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step program that topped the charts a while back; "Baptism," a great duet with Randy Travis; and his fine rerecording of "Tin Man," the song that launched his career in the mid ''90s--Chesney even manages to attain an ephemeral but utterly moving transcendence over his vocal limitations and sometimes questionable song choices. --Bob Allen

The absence of a 2-day winning streak in S&P 500 in a month is a rare pattern that in the past has occurred during severe bear markets or large corrections.
I have already tweeted about this pattern during last week. The chart below marks the recent period of 23 days where there is no 2-day winning streak in S&P 500:
The bottom pane shows the WR(n) indicator for n=2. If there is a 2-day winning streak the indicator value is 100 and if there is a two day losing streak the value is 0. This indicator is the basis for the WR2 system.
This is a rare pattern as shown in the S&P 500 chart since 1998:
The bottom pane displays the day count of periods with no 2-day winning streak. It may be seen that other that the 29-day pattern that formed in the beginning of this year, similar patterns with duration of more than 23 days have formed only during downtrends and large corrections. This pattern is unlikely to occur during a bull market.
Thus, we may be in a large correction or on a downtrend already and the chart is an illusion, or dynamics have dramatically changed. I do not know the answer but illusions are not uncommon in the markets.

The scheme hinged, however, on the regulator's approval of parent Bell's attempt to purchase Astral Media. Bell had pledged $40-million to northern development as a condition of its proposed $3.4-billion purchase of the broadcaster.
With the CRTC's outright rejection of the deal last month, it's back to the drawing board for Northwestel. The company says it is now reviewing its modernization plan, with an eye to suggesting a new one to the regulator by the end of the year. One way or the other, its scope will have to be scaled back, the company says.
In the meantime, it looks like northerners are going to have to hang their hopes on service competition finally springing up in the north.
Some entrepreneurs are already jumping at the opportunity. But who are these interlopers and can they really deliver digital salvation? And is the north big enough in a demographic sense to foster meaningful competition?
"That was a nine out of 10," says Samer Bishay as he eases his six-seater Eclipse jet to a halt on the runway of the Yellowknife airport.
He's answering a question from one of his passengers, gauging how close we were to disaster. About an hour earlier, as the midnight sun was just about to set over a beautiful July day in the Northwest Territories capital, the landing gear on Mr. Bishay's jet refused to deploy.
Mr. Bishay repeatedly wiggled the plane in an effort to shake the wheel loose. When that didn't work, he turned to the manual on his iPad. It was further disheartening to hear the control tower ask if there were any explosive materials on board.
The three passengers – two of his business colleagues and myself – sat in silence. Later, once on terra firma, we'd half-joke that we were all running through death scenarios in our minds.
After what seemed like an eternity, Mr. Bishay finally turned to his last resort, a red emergency handle on the floor of the cockpit. He pulled it and the yellow landing gear light on the dashboard turned green, indicating it had deployed at last. He exclaimed the thought on everyone's minds: "Oh thank God!"
From the air, groups of fire trucks and emergency personnel could be seen, ready for the worst. Little did they know that Mr. Bishay was perhaps the competition they had been waiting for.
Aside from flying planes, the 36-year-old entrepreneur is also the president of Toronto-based Iristel, a company that primarily sells Voice over Internet Protocol phone service, as well as Internet access in some markets. As a competitive local exchange carrier – a company that leases network space from owners such as Bell and Telus – it is largely invisible to the average consumer, but it's well known to businesses that buy phone service.
Iristel is a privately owned company that doesn't disclose financials, but Mr. Bishay says it provides more than four million phone numbers to companies in every province, making it one of the largest CLECs in the country. Now, his goal is turn Iristel into a truly national enterprise by expanding to the territories. The opportunities there may indeed fit into his wheelhouse.
Born in Cairo, he moved around Africa with his father, who worked for the World Bank. After 10 years in Nigeria and another stint in Egypt, his family emigrated to Canada in 1989 to escape unrest. With dreams of being an astronaut, Bishay ended up studying space and communications science at York University.
In 1997, he interned at the Canadian Space Agency and, the following year, landed a job working in its satellite communications program in Montreal, where he helped maintain Radarsat. The agency was also located near the St. Hubert airport. As a child in Africa he longingly watched crop dusters and dreamt of flying one day. With a flying school virtually next door to his job, he signed up for lessons and started a journey that ultimately led to the near-disaster in Yellowknife.Report Typo/Error

Lemon Budino – Classic Italian Dessert
A good friend of mine recently came for a visit by way of Sun City, Arizona. Knowing what a nut I am for fresh organic produce, she brought me a basket of tree-ripened lemons, oranges and grapefruit, just picked that morning. There is nothing sweeter than tree-ripened fruit. The oranges were so juicy, un-pithy, pure nectar to my tastebuds and the fragrance was heady. We had the grapefruit for breakfast, without any added sugar, honey or other taste enhancers and nary a sour puss was spied. I was truly tempted to take off to Sun City from Las Vegas that weekend in search of those backyard citrus groves.
Arizona produces plenty of citrus, avocados, pomegranites, figs and other luscious fruit. Nearly every homeowner has a few trees of fruit to harvest each year. Many of the seniors living in Sun City donate their backyard bounty to food banks. Volunteers from the food banks collect the wind-fallen fruit and pick ripe fruit that would ordinarily go to waste. It's another way to help the community and reduce fruit fly populations without the use of pesticides.
Lemon budino is a sumptuous souffle that has its beginnings in San Francisco eateries. Budino, Italian for pudding, is redolent of a lemon meringue pie without a crust. Along with the balance of the sweet and tart characters of lemon is the creamy consistency of the pudding and crusty topping of whipped egg whites that rises out of the pudding during baking. Traditionally, it is served with whipped cream or cream fraiche and is an elegant light finale to a heavy meal. Berries and chocolate are also delicious accompaniments.
The basic recipe lends itself to improvisation. Lavender will add another depth of flavor that becomes apparent after the first bite and lingers until the last. Adding ginger will give the budino sparkle. Substituting another juice, such Meyer lemon or orange, will completely change the budino flavors but the basic light souffle and creamy texture will remain. Adapt the recipe given here and make it your own.
Servings: 6
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp Meyer lemon juice
- 2 tbsp finely grated Meyer lemon zest
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp whole milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 6 ramekins (3/4 cup size) and dust with sugar.
- Combine 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, flour, lemon juice and lemon peel in large bowl, whisk until blended. Whisk in milk.
- Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in medium bowl until frothy, 1-2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tbsp sugar and beat until soft peaks form; the peaks should fall over when the beaters are raised from the bowl. Gently fold half the beaten egg whites into lemon mixture. When incorporated fold in remaining egg whites.
- Divide mixture among prepared custard cups using a spoon or ladle. Place custard cups in roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the custard cups.
- Bake puddings until tops are golden and spring back when lightly touched, about 30 minutes.
- Substitute mandarin orange juice and zest for the lemon components. Add 1 tsp of anise seeds to the beaten egg whites before folding into the batter. Serve with chocolate shavings and a dollop of whipped cream.
- Steep 1 Tbsp lavender (McCormick's Gourmet brand) in ½ cup warm milk for 30 minutes or longer, stain through a fine mesh sieve, and add to the remaining milk before preparing the lemon batter.
- Add 1 tsp black poppy seeds to beaten egg whites before folding into lemon batter.

It will be business as usual when
"I'll focus on running the business . . . that is all I know," said Mr Penn, who plans to tie up some loose ends before taking six months off to consider his future following completion of the $14.6 billion merger that will divide his company between
It will be anything but business as usual the following day, however, when AMP chief executive
After three bids and a tortuous round of regulatory, legal and investor approvals, the new financial services superpower will emerge with leading market shares in retail superannuation, retirement income, retail managed funds, individual risk and adviser networks. AXA APH's minority directors, led by Australian corporate veteran Rick Allert, rejected AMP's first two bids and accepted a counter offer from National Australia Bank, which was overruled by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
"I have been involved in a lot of transactions," said Mr Penn, who leaves the company with a $17 million payout. "I have always said [to colleagues] that you should not assume they will play out as expected, so when they did not people were not surprised."
Mr Penn said staff morale, which was monitored by regular surveys, had improved during the 17-month takeover struggle, despite the constant uncertainty of not knowing who would be their next boss.
There has been some targeted poaching by rival MLC, the wealth management division of NAB, but no evidence of the mass defections predicted by some who claimed that deep-set rivalries between AXA APH and AMP could never be bridged.
But dominance of the $1.3 trillion wealth management sector, whose future is underwritten by the rivers of gold from mandated superannuation, will be hotly contested by the banks, which have deep pockets and covet AMP's network of advisers.
Mr Penn declined to comment on operational issues facing the new company, adding that he had jointly addressed staff meetings with Mr Dunn to answer questions about the deal and attempt to allay fears.
"The negotiations were a matter for the independent directors," Mr Penn said.
"The management's job was to run the business and not get involved. There was a danger that management could get caught up and distracted, which would have been damaging for business," he said.
Mr Penn, who was born and raised in the Home Counties of England, claims his biggest achievements with AXA have been completing the process of demutualisation from its predecessor, National Mutual, and building the current Australian and New Zealand businesses.
Under his stewardship its highly coveted Asian assets were grown from an adviser-driven operation in Hong Kong to a network across eight countries, including China and India.
It took 20 years to build the Asian network. High barriers to entry, such as building confidence through long-term commitment, means they will not be easily replicated.
"I'm far too young to retire," said Mr Penn, who is 47 years old. "I have lots of energy, love the industry, love the international side and always want the global focus."
The expectation is that he will eventually resurface somewhere with AXA SA.

Aspiring wireless monopoly AT&T is outraged that the Federal Communications Commission unfairly released a staff analysis of the company's proposed $39 billion purchase of smaller rival T-Mobile USA.
Here's AT&T's complete response to the FCC's report:
"The FCC has recognized that it is required by its own rules to dismiss our merger application. This makes all the more troubling their decision to nonetheless release a preliminary staff report on the merger. This report is not an order of the FCC and has never been voted on. It is simply a staff draft that raises questions of fact that were to be addressed in an administrative hearing, a hearing which will not now take place. It has no force or effect under law, which raises questions as to why the FCC would choose to release it. The draft report has also not been made available to AT&T prior to today, so we have had no opportunity to address or rebut its claims, which makes its release all the more improper."
To AT&T, the "troubling" and "improper" release of a "staff draft" that has "no force or effect under law" actually "raises questions as to" the FCC's motives, which by implication are dark and ignoble.
Indeed, AT&T would love nothing more than to change the topic of the debate from the impact its merger would have on the U.S. wireless market to the nefarious motives of the meddling, anti-business federal government that wants to stifle job growth, innovation and customer choice. For some reason. Oh yes, because they're anti-business. (And maybe socialist.)
And that's because the deal's impact on U.S. wireless customers would be negative, as it always is when a market is controlled by one or two companies. Should the T-Mobile purchase go through, AT&T and Verizon together would own about 80% of the U.S. wireless market, and No. 3 Sprint Nextel -- already burdened with steep losses and debt -- essentially would be doomed.
That's way past any tipping point, as the FCC reports argues. Here's < href="http://www.fcc.gov/document/commissioner-clyburns-statement-att-t-mobile-proceeding">FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn:
The staff's findings suggest the applications (from AT&T) appear to substantially lessen competition in ways that no conditions would appear to remedy.
The FCC report is 109 pages long and lays out in great detail staff concerns about the merger's impact on competition, pricing and innovation. AT&T complains in its response statement that it hasn't had time to "address or rebut" FCC conclusions, but that's irrelevant. The truth is, AT&T can't rebut the FCC's report in any way other than to reiterate its arguments in favor of the T-Mobile merger, arguments the FCC already has rejected.
Rejected for good reason, too. No rational, objective person not on the AT&T payroll could possible conclude that eliminating one of the four national wireless carriers would benefit consumers and the U.S. economy (via more jobs) and foster innovation. AT&T's jobs argument is particularly duplicitous and, to me, sleazy given the unemployment rate in the U.S.
As Clyburn notes in his statement, AT&T's own corporate history shows no record of job growth following mergers. "In 2002," he writes, "there were 70,000 employees at AT&T Mobility and its predecessor companies. Since then, AT&T merged with Cingular, Dobson, and Centennial. Today, there are 67,000 employees at AT&T Mobility."
Either a whole bunch of people retired, or AT&T did what all companies do when there's a merger -- eliminate "jobs serving redundant functions" (to use AT&T's own phrase) in order to cut costs. We can safely assume the latter, just as we can safely assume jobs would be lost -- as they always are -- in the event of the merger with T-Mobile.
The reason the Justice Department is suing to block the merger, and the reason the FCC last week ordered a hearing that could take up to a year -- a move resulting in AT&T withdrawing its application to the FCC --is because no one's buying AT&T's "facts."
Well, AT&T doesn't have any new facts, so now it's going to play the victim game. And spend more on lobbying. The former won't work. Let's hope the latter also fails.

The IRS is willing to try the "honor system" with certain taxpayers next year. It intends to notify 30,000 taxpayers about discrepancies between the Form 1099s sent to them by issuers and the taxable income they reported on '09 returns.
The IRS will instruct these taxpayers to correct their returns or have revised 1099s issued. Then it will examine 2010 returns to detect whether the trend has continued. One-time break: If you misrepresent the 1099 income for 2009 and report it properly on a 2010 return, you won't be penalized.

VIDEO: Catherine Hardwicke Talks Twilight—and Taylor Lautner
The Twilight cast may be split on how they feel about director Catherine Hardwicke, but as far as she's concerned they're A-OK in her book.
Access Hollywood caught up with Hardwicke—who was replaced behind the camera for the Twilight sequel New Moon by helmsman Chris Weitz—at the Women in Film 2009 Crystal and Lucy Awards, and she noted that she wished nothing but success for her former co-workers.
"I'm so proud of the whole cast; they're all getting to do amazing movies and stuff," Hardwicke gushed. (Uh, is that to imply that they weren't doing amazing movies before?)
Hardwicke had particular praise for Taylor Lautner, who had to buff up substantially just to secure a spot as werewolf Jacob Black in the sequel.
"I think he looks amazing," Hardwicke offered. "He totally worked hard for it, so he looks great."
You know, we're inclined to agree.

Antiquitates Romanae
Dionysius Halicarnassensis
And they regard the fire as consecrated to Vesta because that goddess, being the earth and occupying the central place in the universe, kindles the celestial fires from herself. But there are some who say that besides the fire there are some holy things in the temple of the goddess that may not be revealed to the public, of which only the pontiffs and the virgins have knowledge. As a strong confirmation of this story they cite what happened at the burning of the temple during the First Punic War between the Romans and the Carthaginians over Sicily. For when the temple caught fire and the virgins fled from the flames, one of the pontiffs, Lucius Caecilius, called Metellus, a man of consular rank, the same who exhibited a hundred and thirty-eight elephants in the memorable triumph which he celebrated for his defeat of the Carthaginians in Sicily, neglecting his own safety for the sake of the public good, ventured to force his way into the burning structure, and, snatching up the holy things which the virgins had abandoned, saved them from the fire; for which he received great honours from the State, as the inscription upon his statue on the Capitol testifies. Taking this incident, then, as an admitted fact, they add some conjectures of their own. Thus, some affirm that the objects preserved here are a part of those holy things which were once in Samothrace; that Dardanus removed them out of that island into the city which he himself had built, and that Aeneas, when he fled from the Troad, brought them along with the other holy things into Italy. But others declare that it is the Palladium that fell from Heaven, the same that was in the possession of the people of Ilium; for they hold that Aeneas, being well acquainted with it, brought it into Italy, whereas the Achaeans stole away the copy-- an incident about which many stories have been related both by poets and by historians. For my part, I find from very many evidences that there are indeed some holy things, unknown to the public, kept by the virgins, and not the fire alone; but what they are I do not think should be inquired into too curiously, either by me or by anyone else who wishes to observe the reverence due to the gods.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The ingestion of uncooked infected meat is considered important in the epidemiology of T. gondii in the U.S. Among the 3 major sources of meat (pork, beef, poultry), prevalence of T. gondii in pigs rages <1 to 20% but is declining. Overall, <3% of market age pigs have antibodies to T. gondii. The prevalence of T. gondii in beef and poultry is unknown but T. gondii has not yet been isolated from beef and commercially-raised chickens and turkeys. Efforts are now underway to estimate prevalence of viable T. gondii in > 6000 samples of meat (beef, chicken, and pork) from retail outlets in 28 metropolitan areas in the U.S., representing approximately 80% of the U.S. population. Genotyping of T. gondii strains from all classes of food animals, including wildlife, is underway to understand the epidemiology of T. gondii. Among game animals, T. gondii is prevalent in approximately 80% of black bears and 30-60% of white-tailed deer.

Tom LaRock (blog|twitter) has assigned an interesting topic for Meme Monday this month, working with deadlines.
Some people hate deadlines. Some people love deadlines. But when you have one, there's a good chance you need to really meet that deadline or there could be repercussions.
I have a tip that I've found useful in the past. When I have a deadline for delivery of X, I evaluate that requirement and determine what, if anything, is dependent upon other people. I've found this to be the biggest issue because my deadline is seldom their deadline. So if there are parts of my deadline where I'm dependent on others, that's my first task: Go have a chat.
Here are a few questions:
Obviously you can't just storm into an office and start rearranging people's schedules (trust me, they get upset). You'll need to work with them. But, it needs to be your first priority because, you can put yourself on a 24/7 alert to make a deadline if you want to, but, unless you're in management, you don't get that kind of control over your fellows.
To make your deadline, priority one is to recognize your dependencies on others.

A once internationally-renowned teacher who became a "mature-age" escort provider in Malaysia has been jailed in Melbourne for importing "ice".
The "colourful career" in education of Karen Beresford, 61, was earlier revealed in the County Court, including the international reputation she earned at a college in South Australia.
Chief Judge Michael Rozenes heard that her dismissal from the college in 2000 later led to her work as an escort in Kuala Lumpur where she started using ice and became psychologically addicted to it.
On Friday morning, Chief Judge Rozenes said a psychologist's report on Beresford detailed the "traumatic setbacks" in her business and professional life after her dismissal from the college.
Beresford had been stopped at Melbourne airport in November, 2007, on arrival from Malaysia with 186.6 grams of pure methamphetamine – with an estimated street value of between $52,800 and $93,300 – in two containers of hair product.
Prosecutor Kristie Eales told the court in a summary that when an investigator unscrewed one bottle of conditioner he asked Beresford if it was thick and she replied: ''Yeah. It's for treated hair'' and pointed to her hair.
Ms Eales said when the bottles were re-X-rayed ''concealments'' were detected which later, after a forensic deconstruction, revealed the drugs.
A warrant for her arrest was issued on February 8, 2010, when she failed to appear. She was taken into custody in October last year when stopped trying to leave Australia for Malaysia with a passport in her maiden name.
In his sentencing remarks, Chief Judge Rozenes said Beresford, at 61, had no prior convictions and had made a "worthwhile contribution to the community through hard work and endeavour".
He recounted that the main thrust of a plea in mitigation was that at the time of the offence she was "suffering from a mental health condition which compromised your thinking and thus rendered you less morally culpable for the offence which in turn should lead to some moderation in sentence".
A consulting clinical and forensic psychologist reported that Beresford smoked crystal methylamphetamine "in conjunction with working as a sex worker" for about two years before her arrest.
When asked by the judge how her mental health might be relevant to the offending, the psychologist, Jeffrey Cummins, said while she understood her conduct was wrong, her "crystal methylamphetamine use would have inevitably compromised (her) ability to comprehensively appreciate the seriousness of (her) offending behaviour."
Chief Judge Rozenes said her barrister told him there was no other logical explanation why a person of previous good character should suddenly, at the age of 61, embark on such a criminal enterprise and asked him to find that her moral culpability was reduced.
The judge said that as a matter of general principle, where the "expert evidence shows that the accused was aware of the nature and gravity of what she was doing and that it was wrong, the reduction in moral culpability cannot be more than 'somewhat reduced'."
Chief Judge Rozenes said his view was that the evidence relating to the effect of an "adjustment disorder" on Beresford at the time of the offending was "vague and highly speculative".
He told her: "There is no record of your state of mind at the time of the offending. As best as it can be reconstructed, it appears that you were in the process of successfully reinventing yourself as a mature age sex worker.
"It is not clear to me why you were using the drugs, how often you were doing so, what your finances were at the time and what, if any, compulsion there was in obtaining the drugs."
He did not accept there was sufficient evidence to form any precise view of her role, and as such "I propose to treat you as any other importer where there is no clear evidence of role".
"I do not treat you as a "mere" or "bare" courier acting at the behest of others," he said. "Nor do I attribute to you some notion of masterminding or ring leading.
"I propose to sentence you on the basis that you imported an amount of drugs some 93-times greater than the marketable quantity."
Chief Judge Rozenes added that a sentence for a drug importation "must signal to would-be drug traffickers that the potential financial rewards to be gained from such activities are neutralised by the risk of severe punishment".
He accepted Beresford's expressions of remorse were genuine and the evidence of character witnesses that her conduct was out of character.
In the ultimate sentence, he did not give her the benefit of any reduction in moral culpability because he was not satisfied there was "any nexus between your mental health at the time of your involvement in this offending of the kind that might call for such a reduction".
Beresford was jailed for a maximum of two years and nine months and ordered she be released after serving 14 months when she will have to be of good behaviour for a further 33 months.
She had pleaded guilty to a charge of importing a marketable quantity of a border controlled drug.

M-Sport Build Momentum For Monte
Posted by: newsla on Jan 11, 2014 - 05:05 PM
M-Sport Build Momentum For Monte
Marking the start of the 2014 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Rallye Monte-Carlo provides the ultimate test of ability and strategy. With a mix of youth and experience, the two M-Sport World Rally Team crews may have differing objectives, but each will be looking to make their mark amongst the Principalityâs coastal glamour and challenging terrain.
Building momentum for the seasonâs traditional opener, the team spent the week testing on roads surrounding the rally route â gauging the likely conditions and deciphering how to best cope with the trials ahead.
With constant changes in grip and unpredictable forecasts, the key to success is widely regarded as âconfidence in compromiseâ. Victory would be no mean feat and the rally can be won and lost on shrewd tyre selection â requiring the team to master the perfect configuration. Next weekâs rally is the only event of the year where crews will have four Michelin compounds to choose from â the soft and supersoft Pilot Sport and the studded and non-studded Pilot Alpin â which makes the optimum formation all the more challenging to find.
In a change from recent years, this yearâs fixture will see a move from the previous base in Valence, to the Alpine town of Gap. The change of location brings a revised route which may level the playing field to some extent, but experience could still prove pivotal. The very nature of the rally calls for an understanding of the regionâs ever-changing conditions, and that fact holds M-Sportâs returning heroes in good stead.
Making a welcome return to the M-Sport squad, Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen know what it takes to tame Monteâs treacherous Tarmac. This will be the Finnsâ ninth appearance, making them one of the eventâs most experienced crews. In fact only Francois Delecour can boast more Monte-Carlo appearances.
Hirvonenâs knowledgeable skills have proved fruitful in the past. Having won the event behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta S2000 in 2010, and claiming the runner-up spot as part of the WRC in 2008, the Finn should not be discounted for a strong result. Reunited with the Ford Fiesta RS WRC, Hirvonen will be looking towards the podium and has the potential to upset the status quo next week.
In contrast, Elfyn Evans will be making his maiden Monte-Carlo outing on what is only his second time behind the wheel of a Fiesta RS WRC. The first test of the season will be a real baptism of fire for the young Welshman, but with expert guidance from the team as well as Hirvonen, Lehtinen and his own co-driver Daniel Barritt, he is in safe hands. All have been victorious at the event in the past, Barritt navigating Fumio Nutahara to the Production World Rally Championship win in 2006.
Ultimately however, next week will be a journey of discovery for Evans. With the added challenge of no Rally 2 regulations â which allow competitors to restart after a non-finish the following day â the Welshman will be determined to make Sundayâs finish ramp; his goal to gain as much knowledge and experience of the specialist stages as possible.
Mikko Hirvonen said:
âIâm really excited to be back with the team and back in the Fiesta [RS WRC]. As soon as we got back behind the wheel we had a good feeling with the car and it is that kind of thing that can really help. Of course there is always room for more testing and it would have been nice to have a few more days after two years away, but I feel as though we are ready for the challenge.
âMonte-Carlo is a difficult event. The conditions can be so changeable and you often have to make compromises with the tyres. We didnât have much snow for our test and it was actually quite mild, so if the weather stays like that I would be quite happy.
âWe need to see what happens, but a podium will definitely be in my mind. This season will be a little different, and I think we can look to take a few risks in the beginning. We need to see what happens, but I am here to be competitive and if we can secure a podium finish it would be a very good result for us.â
Elfyn Evans said:
âOur approach for this event will be to gain as much knowledge as we can. There is no doubting that it will be a difficult start to the year, but I am really looking forward to the challenge. Weâre here to learn and to make the most of this opportunity for the years to come.
âMonte is known to be a bit of a lottery. The conditions can be really unpredictable and it will also be the first time that I have had to work with an ice note crew, so that might take some getting used to. We started testing earlier this week. We had some really tricky conditions on the first day, but we were able to run a lot of different variations with the tyres which should hopefully see us well prepared for anything the Monte has to offer.
âOf course we all understand how unforgiving this event can be. Iâve only ever driven the Fiesta RS WRC on gravel in competition, so our main objective will be to make it to the finish ramp with as much experience as possible.â
