Leonard Bernstein was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1918. His father, Sam Bernstein, did not support young Leonard's interest in music at first. Despite this, his father took him to many orchestra concerts. At one of these concerts he heard a piano performance that captivated him. It was then that he began to learn to play the piano.

Barnes & Noble reported its third consecutive quarterly loss last month as it invests heavily in its Nook e-reader. Borders is expected to report quarterly results on Thursday. "A merger would allow for some serious shrinkage of stores, cost cutting and consolidation of overhead," James McTevia, head of the restructuring firm bearing his name. "It is necessary to avoid either going into Ch. 11." If Borders does, in fact, buy Barnes & Noble. McTevia predicts Barnes & Noble will end up being the name still on top of the doors, since it is a higher-profile company and better regarded by both consumers and investors. He notes that Borders has already shuttered stores and sold off some assets, and has "changed management like you change underwear." While the merger of Barnes & Noble and Borders might help one of the names survive, other experts believe it is simply putting bad on top of really bad and it's unlikely that even if the two joined forces they would be able to compete with technological advances. "Both firms face their own internal and external challenges, and the risk is that combining entities now, under these circumstances, could present more of a distraction than anything else," Morningstar analyst Peter Wahlstrom, wrote in a note. "Potential synergies related to the consolidation of back-office and distribution functions alone could be meaningful, though we don't think they offset the longer-term structural headwinds that the industry faces," he continued. Investors may also be unwilling to settle for a deal of $16 a share, Wahlstrom noted, especially given they tolerated a 25 cent per share quarterly dividend while Barnes & Noble's stock declined more than 30%. "It's a dreadful idea," says Simba Information analyst Michael Norris. "In the time that it takes for the merged company to design their business cards, Apple, Google and Amazon will be running ahead in e-reading and e-book retailing." Given this, do you think a Borders and Barnes & Noble merger is the best bet for the book sellers?

Do you find yourself constantly drawing horizontal lines in MS Word? You know, using the drawing toolbar to draw lines as borders or dividers, in order to give your document a little extra pizzazz.
Are you tired of all the mouse work involved in the drawing toolbar? You know, turning on the line tool, drawing the line and then changing the style.
Wish you had a faster way?
Maybe you'd like a way that involves only the keyboard?
Well, if that sounds good to you, I have a quick list of divider/border line options that only take four keystrokes to accomplish.
Ready to find out how?
Good! Here they are.
Once placed in the document the divider line will extend from left to right margin. Oh yeah, here's the really cool part, once the line is drawn, you can use your mouse to move it up and down to alter its distance from the surrounding text. (You can't move it all over the place, but it is enough to let you have some flexibility in regards to the line's position near the text).
Simply run your mouse cursor over the line, slowly, until it becomes a double-sided arrow (pointing up and down). Once you have that arrow, click and hold the left mouse button while dragging the line up or down as needed.
Note: If this trick isn't working for you, you should check to make sure you have this option turned on. To do this, you need to go to the AutoCorrect options. (Tools menu, AutoCorrect choice – or – for newer version of Word: Office Button, Word Options button, Proofing options section and click the AutoCorrect Options button. Everyone should then look on the AutoFormat As You Type tab, make sure the Borders box is checked in the "Apply as you type" section of the window. Click OK when you're finished.)
Now, moving on.
What about the "Oops Factor?"
You know, the line you now need to remove.
While I found that in Word 2007 I could just use the Delete or Backspace key to remove the line in older versions of Word it could be a bit of a pain and sometimes it's not as easy as simply hitting the backspace or delete keys.
If you're finding that the Delete and Backspace keys aren't doing the trick then give this a try:
First, highlight the text around the divider line so that you have the border contained in the highlight.
Next I had to go to the Format menu, Borders and Shading choice.
Once there click to the Borders tab.
Make sure the None box is selected (top of the left hand column) and click OK.
Poof! The line is gone!
That's it. Divider lines with just four keystrokes. Go ahead, jazz it up!

Ratings for Dr. Mark A. Saracino
Dr Saracino help alleviate a sharp pain in my pain which I was experiencing for over a year. It caused constant fatigue and had started to effect my lifestyle. He diagnosed the problem by the second visit, and I was pain free by the third. Now, I have more energy than I in quite some time. I can be more physically active without becoming fatigued. I feel like myself again! Dr. Saracino is a blessing!
Dr Mark is courteous , Kind, Excellent at explaining things and knows what he is doing. I would recommend him to everyone God Bless Dr Mark
Dr. Saracino helped me with a disc and sciatic problem when medical spinal injections failed. I am back doing the physical activity that I love, yoga and riding my horse. His one on one care was specific to my diagnoses and his therapies right on target with deep tissues work and brain based reprogramming. Dr. Saracino is compassionate and was willing to work with me to get me back in the saddle.
If I had found Dr. Saracino earlier in my treatment for a whiplash and head injury, I know I would be less symptomatic than I am now. I didn't know about Neurologic Chiropractors and I arrived on Dr. Saracino's doorstep with little understanding of the pain I was experiencing. I needed compassion, understanding and professional care. I am grateful for the fact that Dr. Saracino has taken the time to become a true professional so that he can provide the compassion and understanding to treat a person with extremely complicated injuries.
Dr. Mark, is the best at knowing what he is doing with out Dr. Mark I would not be walking today he has helped me through all my issues and continues to do so. I thank God everyday for Dr. Mark Saracino God Bless him
Dr. Mark Saracino – the BEST Neurological Chiropractor in town! I have been diagnosed with Meniere's Disease for about 7 years. I had been fairly successful at controlling my symptoms over the years, but in recent months, had been getting severe attacks – occasionally, multiple attacks in a single day. This lead me to a little self diagnosis in that I needed to see a chiropractor. I was hesitant to see one for fear of the spinal manipulations that they do and the knowledge that sudden movements next to always would lead me to the path of a Meniere's attacks. Then I discovered neurological chiropractics and eventually to Dr. Mark Saracino. After explaining my condition and a few treatments from Dr. Saracino – I noticed I started feeling a whole lot better. Dr Saracino began working on my neck – knowing the fear I had of the sudden movements – with great care and alacrity and I began to feel relief while I was even still in the office! I had an issue with a vertebra out of alignment that was increasing the severity of my attacks and causing a lot of headaches. Of course, I continued the treatments for about 10 sessions and not only do I feel like myself again, but I feel that I gained a great friend in Dr. Saracino and someone I can turn to that won't just tell me that there is nothing that they can do to help or to pop a set of pills. While my Meniere's is not cured, my symptoms are manageable and my quality of life has skyrocketed. If I overexert myself or feel that I need a tune up – Dr. Saracino is just a phone call away. Thanks Dr. Saracino for all of your knowledge, your understanding, your kindness, your empathy and most importantly your friendship!
Dr. Saracino was very helpful in getting to the root of my pain. I have disc problems in my neck due to a car accident, which affected my arm. I feel so much better after only a few weeks of treatments. I am happy to say I am not taking advil or aleve constantly; in fact, hardly ever. If you have any nerve or muscle issues, I recommend Dr. Saracino. He will work on eliminating the pain, not masking it with medicines. He is organized, efficient and very knowledgeable. Another plus is no time spent waiting! He is very prompt!
I have used Dr. Saracino for almost ten years. His knowledge of chiropractic, neurology and holistic practices is extensive. He exhibits a caring nature and genuine concern for your condition. I suffer from curvature of the spine , disk protrusions, disk herniations and spinal stenosis. I have been to many chiropractors in dealing with my condition for most of my life. No one that I previously used to treat me even comes close to Dr. Saracino! His ability to get my severe back episodes under control and negate my pain in a short amount of time are truly remarkable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a real true solution to releaving pain. He is truly gifted!
I had a 2 year nagging injury in my neck that was not getting better on its own. I woke up one morning and could not turn my head in any direction. Dr. Saracino took me in the very same day I called on a late Friday evening. Improvement began after the very first visit and within two weeks my neck felt better than it has in two years. My only regret is that I didn't meet with Dr. Saracino earlier.
I was desperate! I struggled for eight months with severe head pressure among other neurologic symptoms. I had seen over 15 doctors none of which could offer a diagnoses of my condition. I began to visit Dr. Saracino because of his unique practice which incorporates neurology knowledge and chiropractic care. After meeting with him for several weeks and getting only mild relief, Dr. Saracino felt that there was something else going on with my body. He encouraged me to keep fighting for tests and answers with my neurology team. I was referred to a neurosurgeon and he admitted me to the hospital for intracranial pressure monitoring. I was diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri which causes spinal fluid to build up in the brain. I was grateful to meet Dr. Saracino he is so very knowledgeable. He is the type of guy that if he can not relieve your condition, he will help you find a doctor that can. Thanks so much!

Spelling lesson: Justin Brockhaus Kann, or close
It started on Sunday afternoon as a simple picture on Twitter -- which we retweeted -- and a day later, former USF punter Justin Brockhaus Kann had reached a level of online celebrity, thanks to his name being butchered on a plaque honoring him as the Bulls' Special Teams Player of the Year as he was recognized during halftime of Sunday's USF-Louisville game.
The plaque identified him as "Justin Brouckhaus Kahn" and added the typo "offensice" for added effect, and his girlfriend, USF cheerleader Amy Phillips tweeted "LOL @Jbrock18 plays 5 years, gets ST award & @USFAthletics @USFfootball can't even spell name right @USFinsiderbillm." It took off from there.
Our retweet spawned a haiku treatment from the folks at USF blog Voodoo Five. Then Monday, national blogs picked up the item -- CBS, Yahoo and Deadspin all checked in.
First of all, an update: Brockhaus Kann said two people from USF's athletic department reached out to apologize for the mistake, which is good to hear. He's one of four Bulls (with Demetris Murray, Victor Marc and George Baker) scheduled to play in a showcase game called the Probound Sportswear Florida Bowl, which is scheduled for March 23 in Daytona Beach. And he has graduated with a degree in political science, but said he wants to try to earn a spot on a NASCAR pit crew after he gives football a shot. (Phillips, you may recall, achieved Twitter celebrity status in 2011 when fans thought she was giving USF players the "L is for loser" sign as they left the field; she told us she did not.)
His name is listed with a hyphen on USF's roster, but he doesn't have one in his name (it really doesn't bother him). We've spelled it with the hyphen since before he even got to USF, going back to his commitment story. If you've followed our in-game live blogs for the past few years, we often call him JBK, just for brevity's sake. Funny thing is, poor Brockhaus Kann has had his name butchered all sorts of ways in his five years of college football. Here's what we've been able to collect:
Justin Brockhaus-Kahn: So close, but that's what Cincinnati site Bearcats Blog called him in its 2010 season preview. It's also what ESPN.com called him in 2010 -- the site even has a page set up for stories that reference him with the name spelled that way. And the Hartford Courant that same year.
Justin Brockhouse-Kann: This is how Notre Dame site Irishsportsdaily.com spelled it before last year's USF game in an otherwise thorough preview. Given that we've now referenced Notre Dame and Deadspin, we'll go on record as saying that both Brockhaus Kann and his girlfriend exist.
Justin Brockhous-Kann: That's from Louisville Sports Report in its 2010 preview.
Justin Brockhause-Kann: USFnation.com checks in from a 2010 photo gallery.
Justin Brockhaus-Khann: Even Yahoo, which poked fun at USF on Monday, has gotten it wrong before, in this video tease.
Justin Bronkhaus-Kann: Yes, Voodoo Five also added an "n" in this feature on him before last season.
Justin Brockhaus Kohn: Another variation, from the website for 1010 Sports in Tampa.
Jason Brockhaus-Kann: Rivals.com's national preview for USF in 2011 gets the last name right, but trips over the first name.
Justin Kann-Brockhaus: Syracuse's student paper, the Daily Orange, called him this after a punt was blocked last season.

Published: June 10, 2011 at 9:38 AMI think for would the second poll there should've been a fourth option. "Yes, if I had way more money that I do right now"
Published: June 10, 2011 at 1:20 PMWow, those suites are GREAT! Of the four, I'd have to pick Adventureland as my favorite. Meg Crofton take note -- if they'd only offer that level of immersion at WDW, and include a revised version of The Adventurer's Club to go along with it...
I'd book it on my own if I won the lottery, or got a windfall from my tax return. Without that, though, it's hard to justify spending $3000 a night just on sleeping space.
But if the room charge included meals, tickets, and a VIP tour guide, I'm there...
Published: June 10, 2011 at 2:50 PMI'm always fascinated to hear how people analyze value on their vacations.
FWIW, the suites also get you admission to the "E Ticket" Club, located across the hall. That's the Disneyland Hotel's concierge lounge, with continental breakfasts in the morning, wine and cheese receptions in the evenings and viewing of the Disneyland fireworks each night, with the soundtrack piped into the room.
I suspect that one of the reasons that Disney asks people to call for reservations is that the suites often get negotiated into package deals that include park admissions, private tours and the like. After all, if you're capable of springing for the suite, it's not like you're gonna go cheap on the rest of the visit.
Published: June 10, 2011 at 7:16 PMAnd I bet you get put on hold so they can fetch the super-saleperson for that call!
Well, the details make a little more sense. I've been trying to figure out how they can put that kind of a price tag on these suites- thay're incredible, no doubt- but I figured there had to be at least a little more to the deal. Are there regular, non-themed suites available here? If so, I wonder how much those would be in comparison ...
Published: June 11, 2011 at 3:12 AMFor that much money, I'd much rather book (if possible and available) the Disneyland suite above the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It's much more deluxe than any of these offerings, and it's literally in the park so it's perfect for taking a break, and watching Fantasmic. While I'd never spend $3,000 of my own money for one of the rooms in this poll, I would consider shelling out my own $5,000 (and maybe more) for the ultimate suite in New Orleans Square for one night.
Published: June 11, 2011 at 2:26 PMTony, the only problem with the Dream Suite above Pirates is that you probably can't escape the morning maintenance and cleaning. In the summer the cast member canoe races can also generate a little noise. If you're a morning person and a Disney geek getting up early and witnessing all that could be pretty cool, but unless the suite is super sound-proofed I think some affluent guests would not care for that.
Published: June 11, 2011 at 4:52 PMThe in-park Dream Suite is not officially available to the public for rent. That said, Disney's a business. Anything's possible if enough money and the right connections are involved, I suppose.
From what I've heard, though, the biggest block to getting the Dream Suite is John Lasseter keeps using it. :^)

A powerful film about how music fuelled the struggle against apartheid was named best documentary at the 50th Sydney Film Festival on Friday night.
A jury representing the international federation of film critics gave the award to Amandla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony.
Director Lee Hirsch's film shows how song and dance were a political and spiritual encouragement for black South Africans, including the exiled musicians Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba, during their long struggle.
The jury praised Amandla! as "a subtle and inspiring reminder of the power of music to help effect political change".
There was also a special mention for the Swedish film Don't You Worry, it Will Probably Pass, which charts the coming-out stories of three teenage girls.
At a festival notable for lively documentaries, the jury rated those two higher than films about such subjects as an Australian man's sex change (Becoming Julia), an American spelling bee (Spellbound) and an Afghan refugee falling in love in a country town (Molly and Mobarak).
Another major award, the UIP prize for best European film, went to a whimsical drama about a French student learning about love in Barcelona. Directed by Cedric Klapisch, The Spanish Apartment follows his year sharing a noisy, cosmopolitan flat.
It was the only film to sell out both sessions in the State Theatre.
The festival closed with the French drama Swimming Pool and a late addition to the program - director Glendyn Ivin's short film Cracker Bag, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes last month.
"If I'd known the film was going to be screened so much, in beautiful venues like the State Theatre, it would have made those cold nights shooting fireworks scenes more comfortable," Ivin said.
The festival's director, Gayle Lake, said it had been an exciting fortnight, marred only by the controversial banning of the American film Ken Park.
A personal highlight was a standing ovation for the woman, now a bus driver in Sydney, whose sex change was documented in Becoming Julia.
"That was a true festival moment," she said. "It was rapturous and heartfelt response to a film about courage."
So when does Lake start thinking about the 51st festival?
"About six months ago."

LAS VEGAS (AP) Former President Jimmy Carter stepped out of a restaurant on a recent afternoon to find a dozen or so people waiting to greet him. The 82-year-old flashed his famous grin and smoothly worked the crowd.
Following in his footsteps, a man with the same grin struggled for the same reception. He reached at the hand of a distracted potential voter.
"I'm Jack Carter. I'm the one who's running," he said.
Such is the blessing and the curse of the Jack Carter for Senate campaign.
The eldest son of the 39th president is in the final push of an underdog campaign for the Senate in Nevada. Carter, a Democrat who is a millionaire investment consultant, says outrage moved him to make his first bid for public office and run against a well-funded incumbent Republican, Senator John Ensign.
Carter's top campaign targets have been the Bush administration's policies on war and security. His pitch to voters has been a promise of change and an independent voice. His greatest political asset is a famous father who sometimes steals the spotlight.
"I've got a very good name." Carter, 59, said while lunching with his father. "I'll admit it. I don't have any problem with that."
It comes as the Democrats are trying to gain ground on the Republicans, who have a majority in both chambers of Congress. Democrats could gain a majority in the Nov. 7 voting if they win 15 more seats in the House and six more in the Senate. All 435 House seats are on the ballot, and 33 of the 100 Senate seats are.
Experts agree the perks of presidential lineage are undeniable. Name recognition and access to a national network of contributors set Carter's campaign apart. No Democrat challenged Carter in the primary — even though he'd never run for office and had lived in the state less than four years.
"Anybody who was president of the United States by definition has coattails," said Dan Hart, a Las Vegas Democratic operative. "Jack Carter is getting more attention than anybody else would have."
In Nevada, riding Jimmy Carter's coattails wouldn't necessarily take you far. In Carter's presidential races, he lost the state by 5 percentage points in 1976 and 36 percentage points in 1980.
Nevadans twice voted for another former first son, President George W. Bush. Still, only 39% now approve of the president's job performance, according to a September newspaper poll. The same poll found Jack Carter trailing Ensign by about 23 percentage points, but more recent surveys have found Carter behind by about 10 percentage points.
Carter has leaned heavily on his father, who draws media coverage like a magnet, to make up for a campaign fund that's dwarfed by his opponent's. Ensign has outraised Carter by more than $4 million (euro3.2 million), at last reporting.
Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, attended the campaign launch, and have been regular visitors since. When Jack Carter was hospitalized with colitis, his dad handled campaign events in his stead. Commercials for the low-income housing project supported by the former president, Habitat for Humanity, run during local political talk shows.
Hart says there are few negatives associated with Jimmy Carter. But others note potential pitfalls.
"There are limits on the value of campaigning with the famous father," said Andrew Polsky, a political science professor at Hunter College in New York who has studied political families. "The next generation has to step out of the shadows at some point and be his own man or her own woman. They don't want to be overshadowed by the better known, more famous parent."
Jack said he never sought his father's advice before getting into the race. Since then, he said, he hasn't sought much counsel from the local political establishment.
"I never did see Jack as a future political candidate," his father said. "I don't think Jack is naturally fascinated with politics as a subject. But neither am I, by the way."
Jack Carter has tried to reach out to Nevada voters who the Carters say 2004 Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry ignored. He talks openly about his Baptist faith, and appeared last weekend with his father at a black church in Las Vegas.
Jack, who grew up in Plains, Georgia, claims a shared heritage with rural Nevadans. "I am one of them because I'm from a small town," he said. "And when I do go out into those small towns out there those people are the same I grew up with."
Ensign disagrees, and his ads zoom in on a picture of a carpet bag to underscore the point. Ensign, a veterinarian and the son of a casino executive, grew up in Nevada and served two terms in the House before being elected to the Senate in 2000.
In debates, he has noted Carter relies on substantial financial support from outside Nevada — 84%, by the senator's count.
"How can you say you want to be Nevada's voice in Washington when almost all of your supporters are from out of state?" Ensign said.
At times, Carter has appeared out of his element on Nevada turf. On the stump, he has little to say about water issues and the fight against a proposed nuclear waste storage dump at Yucca Mountain, northwest of Las Vegas.
His preferred approach is to pound the president, and by association Ensign, on the war in Iraq. Ensign, like many Republicans, has begun drawing distinctions between himself and the administration.
Hart said Carter's chances of winning depend on whether the predicted Democratic surge materializes on Election Day. "Carter would need to benefit from that," Hart said.
Anything is possible, the former president said, recalling his own days as a political unknown.
"Remember, Rosalynn would go out and tell people to 'Vote for Jimmy,' and they'd come back and say, 'Jimmy who?"'

I love this enameled mirror by interior designer, Amy Lau.

POLICE have identified a key suspect and possible motive in the suspected murder of a Glenroy schoolgirl who vanished from her home two decades ago.
Prudence "Prue" Bird was last seen preparing lunch and talking to a teenage boy on the phone in her Justin Avenue home about 2.10pm on February 2, 1992.
The 13-year-old's mother had left the house that morning, leaving the teenager with a family friend who was living there.
After packing boxes in the garage, the female friend returned and discovered the front door open, the television on and Prue's untouched plate of corn on the table.
The homicide squad's Detective Inspector John Potter said police were close to solving the case and hoped to lay charges, but still needed help from the public.
He said former Glenroy residents knew what happened. "People who were residents in the Glenroy area need to stand up and tell us," he said. "They have been part of a network of information."
He would not say who the male suspect was nor the motive, but there had been several interviews.
Clutching a framed photograph of her daughter, Prue's mother, Jenny, said the past 20 years had been painful.
"I'm angry I left her home that day," she said. "You wake up one day and your life is turned upside down and your child is gone." Ms Bird last spoke to her daughter the night before she disappeared.
"She spoke to me at the fridge, she was drinking cordial and she was going off to bed. She said 'I love you mum', and I said 'I love you too'."
Detectives have investigated several leads, including her grandmother's de facto husband, Paul Kurt Hetzel.
In 1999, The Age reported that Hetzel, a career criminal, was placed under witness protection after testifying against three associates convicted over the 1986 Russell Street bombing and armed robberies.
The Bega killer, Les Camilleri, serving two life sentences for the 1997 murders of Lauren Barry, 14, and Nichole Collins, 16, has also been investigated over Prue's murder. No charges have ever been laid.
Police have located a burnt-out blue 1986 Ford Laser hatchback they believe was used in an abduction.
"To not have answers over all this time is dreadful for the family," Inspector Potter said. "We need to help them resolve this, we need to solve this case."

In Bituminous Casualty v. Pollard, (unpublished), Pollard was injured while working on an oil well. Pollard was using a rig truck which had been put into place to be used as a derrick. Pollard was on the oil pump when he claimed the winch on the truck malfunctioned, causing injury. The insurance company sued Pollard, claiming he was not entitled to coverage. The trial court agreed and the Tenth Circuit affirmed.
The insurance company claimed that Pollard was not occupying the vehicle, and that the vehicle was not being used for its transportation nature, thus precluding coverage. The trial court found for the insurer on both issues, but the Tenth Circuit affirmed only on the grounds that the truck was not being used for transportation, thus, there was no coverage.
We conclude that the transportation-use requirement adopted by the Oklahoma Supreme Court in Sanders applies to a UM claim alleging an injury that arose out of the use of a motor vehicle, including when the injury also arose out of the ownership and/or maintenance of the vehicle, as Mr. Pollard alleged. And the requirement applies regardless of whether the insured is legally entitled to recover damages from the owner or the operator of the uninsured motor vehicle under § 3636(B). To be entitled to coverage under the UM Endorsement, Mr. Pollard was therefore required to show (1) that a use of the workover rig was connected to his injury and (2) that use was related to the transportation nature of the workover rig. See Sanders, 803 P.2d at 692.
* * * * *
The steps taken by Mr. Pollard and his crew to transform the workover rig from a motor vehicle into a fixed derrick severed any causal connection between the transportation nature of the workover rig and Mr. Pollard's injury. Accordingly, his injury was not within the coverage mandated by § 3636, and he was not covered under the UM Endorsement.
In addition, summary judgment was proper as to Pollard's bad faith claim against Bituminous.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Honestly, the fact that you can bring your own wine (or buy some at the adjoining wine shop) is not the biggest reason to check out Atlas. We'd still love this place even if we were teetotalers, because chefs Joshua Riesner and Keenan Bosworth are cooking up some very impressive contemporary American cuisine here. The menu changes all the time, putting organic farmer Bob McClendon's heirloom vegetables to good use with exquisite ingredients such as Sonoma veal sweetbreads, buffalo, pheasant, and Australian lamb. Housemade charcuterie, artisanal cheeses, and scrumptious seasonal desserts prove that these guys put care into the smallest details. And if you do have a bottle of wine that you've been saving for just the right time, dinner at Atlas is all the special occasion you'll need.
This is the little restaurant that could.Amid a sour economy — and even in the middle of the summer slowdown — this is the place that had locals buzzing on Twitter, Facebook, and good old-fashioned word of mouth in 2010.The excitement started with a trifecta: rustic, comforting American eats by chef-owner Charleen Badman; cozy, bustling atmosphere; and rock star treatment for regulars and newbies alike, courtesy of co-owners Pavle Milic and his wife Emily Pullen. Soon, the Stetson Drive gin joint became the Valley's go-to place for top-notch Arizona wines (still a rarity — but not for long, we predict, thanks to Milic's pioneering efforts) and affordable late-night eats as well. Comforting dishes like braised leeks with mozzarella and fried egg, and perfectly crispy jidori chicken have come and gone with the seasons, but Badman has only continued to delight us with new dishes along the way. Cheers to a new classic in the middle of Old Town.
It's hard to imagine that the area near this stretch of East Phoenix used to be the country's biggest cattle feedlot, but a visit to The Stockyards — situated in what was once the Tovrea Land and Cattle Company's administrative offices — can take you back in time to an era when ranching was still a big part of the local culture, and the city's movers and shakers did business over hefty steaks and stiff cocktails. Meat and potatoes is still the name of the game here, with exotica like elk and demurely named "calf fries" supplementing steaks, burgers, salads, and seafood dishes. Settle into a big booth, ogle the cowboy-themed paintings and branding iron chandelier, and enjoy a reminder of when the West was still Western.
Sometimes, you just need a little steak. Other times, you just need a lot of steak. When heaps of beef are what you're after — and you've got the cash — there's no better meal than Durant's 48-ounce porterhouse. Plain on the outside, fancy-pants on the inside, Durant's is a Phoenix institution that's hosted powerful politicos, celebrities, and mobsters alike. Nestled menacingly amidst the sparse yet solid menu of savory steaks and classic cocktails, this massive meal waits to take on all challengers. A slab of meat that would be appropriate to serve your pet velociraptor, this steak's part filet mignon, part New York strip, and all delicious. Order the steak however you want — from blue to well done — and the kitchen magicians will cook it to perfection. That's no small task with a cut that's a good three inches thick. Finish it and you'll be inducted into the illustrious Porterhouse Club, your name engraved on a brass plate affixed to one of several polished wooden plaques that adorn the restaurant's walls. The storied restaurant began offering the 48-ounce Porterhouse Challenge in 1996 and has since racked up a pantheon of more than 1,200 victorious eaters. At $83.25, the 48-ounce Porterhouse isn't for the faint-hearted. But if you've got the money — and the stomach — Durant's won't disappoint.
San Felipe's Cantina is known for many things: decent guacamole, dangerously cheap shots of liquor and draft beer, obnoxious clientele. What it should be known for, however, is the El Gordito Burrito. Also known as "the Fat One," the El Gordito is a big-ass taco de harina made with chicken or steak, rice, beans, and cheese, all wrapped in a tortilla the size of a manhole cover and covered with spicy sauce and melted cheese. If you eat it all in one sitting, San Felipe's will throw you a party and give you a T-shirt — size XXL, of course.Tipping the scales at close to seven pounds, this burrito's a scary bastard. But at only $19.95, you can't afford not to buy it — that's less than $3 per pound! Whether you attempt to eat it all at once or take it home and feed yourself for a week, there's no place around where you're going to find a burrito that gives you more bang for your buck.
When Matt and Courtney Diamond opened their bangin' little "ale house" in a Seventh Street bungalow, it wasn't enough to have a great list of regional craft beers and quaffable, affordable wines. They came up with some scrumptious eats, too, the most beer-friendly of them all being the Coronado Coney, named after the historic district where the restaurant is situated. This is one top dog, a plump, juicy all-beef frank from Schreiner's Sausage, a local institution right up the street. It's tucked into a soft, dense sourdough bun that's lightly toasted, slathered with Humboldt Brown Ale mustard, and sprinkled with red onion. Which really makes the dish — the wiener or the bun? Who knows. It's a good conundrum to ponder over another pint of IPA.

In the last fortnight, hip-hop related talk has been dominated by the response to Kanye West and Nicki Minaj's respective album releases. However, in the same week as both LPs were made available, some news that many have been waiting for appeared to slip under the radar, or at least received a muted response. It was the liberation to the masses of the Dr. Dre single 'Kush' (see above), that is scheduled to be the first single from the long-awaited 'Detox' album, which was announced to be due for a February 2011 release. So why isn't the music world jumping up and down screaming at this news? Continue reading

2014 MINI Cooper S Revealed in Spy Photos
Set to debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, AutoGuide's spy photographers have caught the 2014 MINI Cooper S completely undisguised, revealing the next-generation Cooper.
Overall, the 2014 MINI Cooper grows slightly in size with the front end's overhang noticeably larger than the current model. The front windshield is also more raked in for a sleeker design and the LED daytime running lights now form a ring that encircles almost the entire headlight.
SEE ALSO: 2014 MINI Cooper S Spied Testing
But the biggest change on the 2014 MINI Cooper is that it will ride on BMW's all-new, front-wheel-drive chassis that will be shared on the German automaker's 1 Series GT and MPV models. The next-generation MINI Cooper will also move to a three-cylinder engine lineup which includes a 1.5-liter, turbocharged engine with direct injection and variable valve timing. Rumor has it that the powerplant will produce anywhere from 120 to 200 hp, but don't be surprised if JCW variants pump out closer to 300 hp.
There's also a chance that the current four-cylinders will carry over for the first model year as MINI preps the new three-cylinder engines. Production on the new MINI Cooper is anticipated to start towards the end of the year, and AutoGuide will be at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show to deliver the official news when it happens.

Twins Solania and Enzo, 5, are getting their fifth dose of the DTaP vaccine today. It protects against Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, also known as whooping cough.
"I think it's important to protect the kids from all the illnesses out there," mom Teresa Barrera said.
A new study in the New England Journal of Medicine is raising concerns about that final dose of whooping cough vaccine and just how long it protects children. Kaiser Permanente researchers found the effectiveness of the shot fades about 40 percent in the 5 years after the vaccination.
"Every year it gets a little less effective, a little less effective," said Dr. Amy Porter, a pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center.
This is a record year for the whooping cough. Doctors are reporting at least 26,000 cases so far.
Porter says infants under 6 months old are most susceptible because they're not fully vaccinated yet. In the study, 80 percent of the kids who had whooping cough caught it from an older relative.
"As time goes on and the vaccines get less and less effective, it's time for those booster shots," Porter said.
Experts recommend older people get a booster if they didn't have one in their teens.
Teresa Barrera feels good knowing her family is protected.
"I think it's important," she said. "I think it's better some protection than no protection at all."
Her twins will need another whooping cough booster in about six years.
Doctors also recommend pregnant women who are not vaccinated receive one dose in late pregnancy or right after they deliver.

Since Halloween, 3M (MMM) has tacked on about 35% vs. the 21% gains for the S&P 500 Index in the same period … but why?
Sure, MMM has a dominant position in the chemicals and materials space. With its $80 billion market cap, $5.3 billion in operating cash flow and dividends dating back to 1916, this company is a case study in stability.
But revenue has been basically flat since fiscal 2011, tracking a measly 3.5% growth rate in fiscal 2013 and just 5% sales growth in fiscal 2014. Earnings are moving higher on efficiencies, yes, but the valuation is hardly cheap and improving earnings are baked in. Based on 2014 EPS forecasts of $7.35 per share, you're paying a forward P/E north of 16.
That seems rich for a sleepy chemicals stock. And considering its dividend is just 2.1% at these levels — less than the 10-year T-Note is yielding after a recent run — there might not be much buying pressure from income investors going forward considering the alternatives.
3M isn't going anywhere, but I think underperformance is in store for this pick after the run-up and modest outlook.

Matt Lauer: 'I Feel Bad' for Bob Costas After Eye Infection
Photo: Getty Images
By Sierra Marquina
NBC's Matt Lauer is taking over for sportscaster Bob Costas at the Winter Olympics will he recovers from a bad case of pink eye.
The anchor is happy to help step in, although is being cautious as to not catch the same virus!
"I went in yesterday and they put me in a completely different dressing room," Matt shares. "The makeup artist Kris, who has been his longtime makeup artist, told me that she guaranteed me she bought all new makeup and all new brushes. The chair I was sitting in was not his chair, but they still wiped it down. Then I walked into the studio and they told me, 'Don't worry. We've wiped the counters down. We've wiped the chair down.'"
Matt adds he's bummed that the sportscaster isn't able to be there. "I feel bad for Bob because no one wants to be in that chair more than Bob Costas … but I looked at him … and there's no way he could've been in that chair last night."
We're wishing Bob a speedy recovery! Until then, catch Matt and the rest of the gang on NBC.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/6/2009 (2955 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Some thoughts from Bomber head coach Mike Kelly after Wednesday's 32-22 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Canad Inns Stadium:
"It's just a preseason game, a practice game, that's all it is. But a lot of kids played pretty well tonight and they'll make our decision-making process pretty tough over the next 48 hours. I said all along I don't want to get rid of any of these guys. These guys have been absolutely great and they showed it tonight.
"We played with poise. We played with determination. We played fast and we played hard — those are all the things we've been preaching since Day 1. Defensively I saw 12 gold helmets around the ball a lot. We're taking baby steps but we're pointed in the direction we want to go."

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Thank you, Brent.
The utilities - we continued to pay through bankruptcy and up to the date we vacated the home and requested they be shut off. The County says they will keep charging us for the utilities (sewer, garbage and recycling) until the home has transferred to someone else's name.
The home owner's insurance - we just received "Notice of Placement" from mortgage holder (Homecomings) placing insurance on the property and charging me $2,1400.
Not sure how to deal with this; I assumed property was part of bankruptcy estate.
Thanks for your consideration. Mary
You mentioned needing more information, which I provided. Just wondering if I would receive further response or if I have to pay more.
Thank you.

before it's in the papers"
Intelligence favors first-borns, study finds
June 21, 2007
Eldest siblings score slightly higher on intelligence tests than younger siblings, a study has
found, but the difference seems due to family dynamics rather than biology.
Send us a comment on this story, or send it to a friend
Children raised as the eldest sibling score slightly higher on intelligence tests than than their younger siblings, a study has found. But the difference seems due to family dynamics rather than biological factors, reasearchers added. Children reared as the eldest—even if they've lost one or two older siblings—have an intelligence quotient, or IQ, that is higher by an average 2.3 points than their younger siblings, scientists said. Petter Kristensen of the National Institute of Occupational Health and Tor Bjerkedal of the Norwegian Armed Forces Medical Service, both in Oslo, studied studied the birth order, IQ and family situations of more than a quarter million 18- and 19-year-old Norwegian draftees. IQ is a numerical measure of intelligence that increases with greater intelligence, and with the average IQ defined as 100. An IQ score is supposed to represent a person's mental age divided by their chronological age, and multiplied by 100. The study on birth order and intelligence appears In the June 22 issue of the research journal Science. It's an "elegantly designed analysis" that may help lay to rest decades of past debate on the subject, wrote Frank J. Sulloway of the University of California, Berkeley, in a commentary in the journal. Higher IQ in firstborns could be due to the tutoring that the elder children usually perform, Sulloway wrote, but future research could help resolve this. Past studies have provided confusing and mixed results on the subject of birth order and intelligence, Sulloway said. Partly, this is because when children under 12 are tested, curiously, it's the younger siblings who score higher. In other words, there's a "tendency for IQ disparities by birth order to reverse direction as children get older," he wrote. One theory to explain this, he added, is that the beneficial effects of tutoring take several years to kick in. Until then, the more immature younger sibling might actually drag down the older one's intellectual development slightly.

The Boondock Saints (1999)
Plot Summary
Two Irish brothers accidentally kill mafia thugs. They turn themselves in and are released as heroes. They then see it as a calling by God and start knocking off mafia gang members one by one. Willem Dafoe plays the detective trying to figure out the killings, but the closer he comes to catching the Irish brothers, the more he thinks the brothers are doing the right thing.- Written by KevinYang(firstname.lastname@example.com)
Irish brothers Connor & Murphy McManus live and work in Boston. Feeling that God's will to rid Earth from all human Evil was given to them as a mission, they set out to do their divine deed. A public outcry is never heard, and even FBI agent Paul Smecker, who follows their trace of bloodshed, admits that the boys are doing exactly what he secretly always has wished to happen. Risking their lives for their beliefs of Veritas (truth) and Aequitas (justice), the Boondock Saints are hyped by the public, for they are doing good, which only few dare to admit.- Written by Julian Reischl <email@example.com>
After Irish-American brothers Connor and Murphy MacManus cheat death with the Russian mob a day after Saint Patrick's Day, the two decide to voluntarily stay overnight at a police station, where they receive what appears to be a message from God to rid Boston of all evil. Connor and Murphy, with the aid of their friend Rocco, set out on numerous campaigns to rid Boston of lowlifes and mafiosos, leaving behind a path of destruction. Meanwhile, FBI Agent Paul Smecker is assigned the task of investigating the aftermath of each mission conducted by the MacManus brothers and Rocco. The more pieces Smecker fits into the puzzle, the more he asks himself: Should he continue his job and possibly arrest the trio, or join them in their mission to destroy evil?- Written by Sam
Fraternal twins set out to rid Boston of the evil men operating there while being tracked down by an FBI agent.- Written by email@example.com
This film opens with mass in a Boston Catholic church, where Irish American fraternal twin brothers Connor McManus (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy McManus (Norman Reedus) pray while a sermon is read...See full synopsis » (Warning: contains spoilers!)

Trib's Prine wins major investigative award
Tribune-Review investigative reporter Carl Prine has won a coveted 2012 Investigative Reporters & Editors Medal for an eight-page special section, "Rules of Engagement," about the slayings by an Army Small Kill Team leader of two deaf, unarmed Iraqi teen brothers tending cows in As Sadah.
Sgt. Michael Barbera also ordered the shooting death minutes later of the brothers' deaf teen cousin, who was going to help with the cattle when he came upon the Small Kill Team's chaotic evacuation. Though five members of the squad told superiors about the shootings and Army investigators recommended Barbera be prosecuted for murder and conspiracy through the military justice system, two Army generals at the 82nd Airborne in Fort Bragg, N.C., decided to take no action.
Barbera was later promoted to staff sergeant. A phone threat to Prine's wife that he back off the story or risk harm to her and himself was traced to Barbera's cell phone, but no criminal charges resulted.
The Kill Team soldiers told Prine they believed the boys' March 6, 2007 slayings led to two truck bomb attacks by insurgents on their forward outpost in the village that killed a total of 10 comrades — the 82nd's worst combat loss since the Vietnam War. Trib graphics artist Jason Lanza used animation for an online presentation that told how the killings and the truck bombings occurred.
The IRE judges praised Prine for "relentlessly" pursuing the story, including traveling at "personal peril" with only an interpreter-driver from Kurdistan to the Iraqi village to interview the boys' families. At the time of the December 2011 trip into Diyala province, American troops had already left for Baghdad as part of the U.S. withdrawal.
"A stunning example of good, old-fashioned, shoe-leather reporting," the judges said of Prine's work. "A courageous story and a wonderfully spun tale."
Other newspaper winners among IRE honorees in 16 categories from among 490 entrants included: three Chicago Tribune reporters, who won the Freedom of Information Award for exposing rampant absenteeism in city schools and indifference by officials; USA Today reporter Brad Heath, who won the Tom Renner Award for revealing that dozens of men had been locked up on gun possession charges even though a federal appeals court ruled they had committed no federal crime; two New York Times reporters who described how Wal-Mart used bribes and other practices to fuel growth in its Mexican subsidiary; two Belleville (Ill.) News Democrat reporters, who revealed the deaths of severely disabled adults in their own homes were not being investigated by the state agency assigned to protect them; and Alex Stuckey, a reporter with Ohio University's student newspaper, The Post, who compiled a database of items seized by or forfeited to area law enforcement agencies during drug arrests to show the agencies weren't tracking what happened to them or could not account for them.

I'm not personally a fan of drug prohibition, for reasons I've written about in the past, but there's a major problem with my opinion: the fact that all my reasonings against prohibition are based in paper, and don't always hold up in the chaos of reality. That's not to say that I think pot should actually be illegal -- I believe the opposite -- but there's a side to the issue that a lot of people either overlook or willfully ignore. This side to the issue is called "most stoners are idiots".
Don't pretend that you don't know what I mean. Everyone has heard the counterexamples to this; plenty of successful, intelligent people smoke pot, and sometimes they smoke a lot of pot. That doesn't matter. The vast, vast majority of people who smoke pot every day are lazy, stupid, and unambitious. If you disagree with this, don't bother reading the rest of this article. I'm too busy being honest to care about people who can't cope with reality.
There's a very simple reason why people who smoke pot constantly are that way, though. It's not that pot actually physiologically causes a person to behave like that (or if it does, I'm not qualified enough to know). As far as I know, it's largely a psychological thing. Think about it: when you're just sitting around, not doing anything, what tends to happen? You get bored. But when you're high, you don't get bored. Smoking pot is a great way to relax and escape the tedium of reality, but it's also an escape from the things about reality that cause people to actually do things. If you're just sitting around relaxing all the time, you're being lazy. You'll act stupid because you'll be high all the time. You won't be motivated to further yourself because you'll be a neutral state of relaxation all the time. That's why stoners have the reputation that they have.
If you want to chase your dreams, you need the motivation to do so. If you smoke pot all the time, you'll keep receiving the little burst of artificial happiness that being high gives you, and eventually you'll forget how much more rewarding it is to actually do something for real. I know this because I've experienced it before. It's very easy to smoke pot once, be happy, then wake up the next day and think "Hey, wouldn't it be fun if I smoked pot again?" Pretty soon, you lose track of what you were trying to do in the first place and you end up settling for drug-induced happiness instead of actual happiness.
The scary thing is, this is an easy settlement to make. Drugs are a lot of fun.
What's more fun than drugs? Building a house, writing a book, making a lot of money, or getting married to someone you love. What's less fun that drugs? Doing the dishes, having a shitty job, going to class, or admitting that you're not as successful as you always wanted to be.
Smoking pot can make all the less-fun things into more-fun things, but without all those little annoyances in your life you start to lose your motivation to achieve the actual more-fun things. Pretty soon it becomes easy to rationalize your drug intake with a line of thought that sounds an awful lot like, "Drugs make me happy without much effort, so I'll settle for that instead of making an effort at doing something worthwhile." That's laziness. And the worst thing about it is, you won't have very much respect for yourself. It might seem like you do, but when you see other people you knew in high school becoming the next Bill Gates, you'll look at yourself and say, "What the hell did I do with my life?"
For some people, pot can cause the creative stroke of brilliance that lets them do things they only ever dreamed of. For most people, pot is just something to do for fun and really doesn't help them at all. I always seem to hear the excuse that people are using drugs to "find themselves". That sounds deep and meaningful when you're sixteen, but when you get older it starts to ring hollow. How exactly are you going to find yourself if you keep using drugs to escape yourself? You need to put things in perspective in a way that indicates actual maturity.
When I see someone who has so much potential for long-term happiness throw that potential away in pursuit of short-term happiness, it's so frustrating and depressing that I can't put it into words. In one case, a person who did this was someone I loved like a brother, who had such an enormous impact on my life that I truly believed, even in my normally-cynical heart, that he'd be there forever. That person meant too much for me to ever fully let him go. In the end, though friendships can be repaired in time, I'll never be able to forget the times that I've been lied to over a drug.
It's easy to realize that there's no real scientific or logical reason to make pot illegal. On paper, it seems like the people who build their lives around a drug that's not even particularly potent or addictive could easily be ignored. It seems easy to realize that you don't need to have them in your life. You shouldn't have to care about them. In reality, sometimes they're people that you love.
Their actions explain why pot is illegal better than any after-school special ever could.

Bleddyn Rees King charged after Pentyrch murder
The 18-year-old man arrested on suspicion of the murder of David Evans at Pentyrch, near Cardiff has now been charged.
Paul Hewitt, Senior Crown Prosecutor for CPS Cymru-Wales, said: "The Crown Prosecution Service has been working closely alongside South Wales Police as their investigation into this murder has progressed.
"We can now confirm that, having carefully examined a file of evidence provided by South Wales Police, we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence to charge Bleddyn Rees King with the murder of David Evans and that it is in the public interest to do so. Accordingly, we have advised South Wales Police to charge him.
"The defendant will appear at Cardiff Magistrates Court on Monday 30 January.
"The victim's family have been informed of our decision by the police and we hope to be able to meet with them soon to explain the trial process and answer any questions they may have.
"Bleddyn Rees King now stands charged with an extremely serious criminal offence and has the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that nothing should be published that could prejudice his trial."

Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
As a Health Educator of 33 years' experience who delivers patient education on numerous occasions to college student patients who have acquired genital herpes, I am concerned that ACYCLOVIR is not yet available OTC. Within the past couple of years, I heard that it would go OTC, but that doesn't seem to be happening. From my observation, the experience of side effects from acyclovir is minimal compared with other OTC products, and the price is very steep for people experiencing a painful condition. I strongly urge that action be taken on concluding the safety evaluation of acyclovir and for the FDA to move forward on making it available OTC.
