Mini Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
Donuts have (unofficially) replaced cupcakes as the deleicate and delicious go-to trendy dessert. Luckily for me, I've been a bigger fan of donuts my whole life -- especially because you can just as easily enjoy them for breakfast as you can for dessert.
Donuts have (unofficially) replaced cupcakes as the deleicate and delicious go-to trendy dessert. Luckily for me, I've been a bigger fan of donuts my whole life -- especially because you can just as easily enjoy them for breakfast as you can for dessert.
When it comes to trendy sweets, mini treats are all the rage. Which makes devouring them even easier, and makes me feel better about eating two or three (or half a dozen).
These baked cinnamon sugar mini donuts are no exception. Each little baked bite is savory and filling enough that you really can stop at just one. But since they are so little, you can induge in a few and not feel as guilty about it.
I made some of these in a mini donut pan for traditional mini donuts, and some in a mini muffin pan for some donut holes. And let me tell you that I could not stop eating them the morning I baked them. Not only do the satisfy your sweet tooth, but they look so nice spread out on a plate dusted with cinnamon and sugar.
So make a big batch for your a Sunday brunch or a bite-sized dessert. They won't disappoint!
For the donuts:
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
For the cinnamon-sugar topping:
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, lightly grease mini donut (or mini muffin) pan.
In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar. After its mixed, add the egg, milk and vanilla until mixed well.
Mix in the baking powder and the salt. Then mix in the flour little at a time, until combined.
If you're using a mini donut pna, transfer dough into a piping bag or Ziploc bag cut the tip off. Pipe into the pan, making sure to only fill each slot in the pan halfway. (The dough might come out of the bag a little slow, so be prepared to use a knife or spoon to spread the dough in the pan if necessary)
Bake the donuts for 8-10 minutes, or until they start to rise up and turn a golden color.
Meanwhile, place the melted butter into a small dish, shallow enough to dip the donuts. In a separate bowl, mix up the cinnamon and sugar in another bowl shallow enough to dip the donuts
After the donuts cool, dip into the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar.
Makes: About 3 dozen mini donuts.

WhaleFace on Jul 23, 2016
I've had my eye on this whale necklace for a while and I'm so happy I finally ordered it! It's even lovelier in person and it looks fantastic when it catches the light.
Jewelry inspired by spirit animals, tattoos, and world travel. Made in RVA / Found all over.
I started my shop with the idea that I NEEDED a humpback whale tattoo. I needed to channel that calm wise vibe those guys give off. I couldn't bring myself to actually get a tattoo so I used my metalsmithin' skills, made a whale drawing out of metal and strung it around my neck. This worked out quite nicely! I could put in on whenever I needed a little reminder to be calm and wise AND it would not freak out my grandma. (Added bonus: no needles or Hep C!) Thus, the idea for ZUU Studio was born. I made illustrations of my favorite animals from all over the world, digitized them, and with the help of a metal fabricator, started my production line. Now, our tattoo inspired necklaces can be found on people from (almost) every continent! Damn you, Antarctica!
All items MADE IN THE USA
(Richmond VA to be exact!)
ZUU studio is a small, woman owned business where materials are chosen for their durability and integrity. You can be sure that you're getting a product that has been thoroughly and thoughtfully designed.

64-bit Super Cubic and Super Simple Rig update!
Posted: 07. Mar 2016
64-bit Super Cubic
A lot of people are going to be happy now, as the 64-bit version of Super Cubic is finally available! A popular requested feature has been added; Super Cubic can now extract side angles from your pano as well. I'm charging a little bit of money for it, but the 32-bit version is still available for free. Get it quickly, it's 40% off for a limited time.
Super Simple Rig v1.4
My rigging system also has a pretty big update, lots and lots of new stuff in this version. Read the Release History to see what's new and fixed. Highlights are easier finger rigging, scalable rigs and tween slider.
F-35 on Turbo Squid
I have had many requests for the realistic fighter plane model I did some time back. I've updated the model for V-Ray, put in a nice animation rig with a very cool afterburner system. Check it out if you need a realistic looking jet.
Action Toboggan
Finally, a cool little job I just did together with the good guys at VOID. I only had eight days to do the film from start to finish, but it turned out really nice for the short time spent.

All the answers to your frequently asked questions
As a revolutionary, you'll be kept abreast of important Food Rev news and updates with quarterly newsletters, as well as ad-hoc email call-outs when we need your help to make a noise and create an impact on social media. And don't worry, we won't bombard your inbox!
The double burden of childhood obesity and undernutrition have reached epidemic levels worldwide. We need to act now to secure a happier, healthier world for our children and for future generations. Campaigning for wider change across the food system is something that affects each and every one of us. We all have a role to play in making change happen.
Fairer marketing is one of the six points in Jamie's plan to tackle childhood obesity. We are campaigning to protect children from junk food marketing as we know that advertising is unequivocally linked to rates of obesity. Since 1980 the global rate of obesity has more than doubled. In the UK alone, 1.8 million kids watch primetime weekend TV (think X-Factor or Britain's Got Talent). As they're not specifically aimed at kids, these shows aren't subject to the same restrictions that apply to dedicated children's programming. This means they can advertise what they like in the breaks and millions of kids see ads for foods high in fat and sugar, including chocolate, crisps, pizza and sweets. We think that junk food advertising in all forms should be banned before 9pm.
As a revolutionary, you can join in with our campaigns and unite with us to make a huge noise in the fight for a better, healthier and happier world for every child. From advocating change at a community level to shouting about our campaigns on social media to learning how to cook and passing on your skills, everyone has a role to play.
Our ambassadors bring the Food Revolution to life in their communities all year round. If you're interested in making a change in your local area, you can find out more about the programme and fill out the application form here.
The UK now joins Mexico, France and South Africa in implementing a tax on sugary drinks. In the UK, this will generate half a billion pounds that will go straight into schools, invested into sports and breakfast clubs. Jamie has welcomed the news about a levy on sugary drinks in the UK, but believes that this is only one part of a multi-layered solution to a complex obesity problem and hopes that this will be addressed in the UK Government's childhood obesity strategy, due to be released in summer 2016. Read the answers to your questions on the sugary drinks tax here.
Together with medical experts and professionals, Jamie has drafted a six-point plan to tackle childhood obesity in the UK. The levy on sugary drinks was just one of a range of proposed policies, initiatives, incentives and community-based interventions, which together create a powerful tool for change. Jamie has sent his proposal to PM David Cameron and believes we must keep putting pressure on the Government to consider these measures and be bold once again in their own strategy. You can read more about Jamie's proposed Childhood Obesity Strategy here.
Jamie has created 10 simple, delicious and nutritious recipes, especially for the Food Revolution. Together these 10 recipes can teach us all the skills we need to feed ourselves and our families good, nutritious food for years to come. Start small, give the recipes a try and don't worry, they don't have to be perfect!

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
hello, have you installed the switches yet? the reason i ask is the newer dodges are real easy to add cruise control depending on what engine you have. some all you need to do is install the switches.
what engine is in your truck?
it has the 5.7 hemi. I have installed the switches, but no cruise. That's why I started wondering if there was a parameter in the ECM that needed to be programmed. It's at a dealer now, they seem a little confused.
i installed one in an 07 and like i said it was straight forward.
does your cruise light come on out all when you try to turn the cruise on and off?
well i explain my concern now that i know they are from a durango, id have the dealer check the part numbers and make sure the durango calls for the same part number as your ram and the reason why is the newer vehicles use multiplex systems for alot of various different electronics in the vehicle including speed control, now what multiplex is, is the speed control switch only has one signal wire from the switches to the pcm, and the switches change resistance on that wire through various resistors in the switches themselves the pcm sees the different voltages on that wire and knows which request is being made based on those voltages.
it is possible that the durango has a different set of resistors in the switches and that is why your ram's pcm is not seeing the signal.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Twins Time in NYC
Tending to her motherly duties, Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted picking up her twins from school in New York City, NY on Friday (April 27).
Making their way out of the learning institution, the "Sex and the City" star had her hands full with her two daughters, Marion Loretta and Tabitha Hodge Broderick, who wore matching pea coats and dresses while their mom opted for a more casual look with a jacket half-zipped, rolled up jeans and boots.
The outing comes as SJP recently helped raise $5.2 million for a Chicago children's hospital with philanthropist Anne Lurie - who the hospital is named after.
All the money raised will go towards completing a new 23 story building for the children's hospital and help keep the facility up to date, which is expected to open sometime in June of this year.

Are the products Vegan?
Do the products contain Gluten (grain of any kind)?
Do the products contain Parabens?
Is resurf.a.stic™ easier to use than other at-home treatments or devices?
Yes! Resurf.a.stic™ is flexible, portable and needs only a simple splash of water to activate the lubricants in the stick. The user determines the exact level of force he or she feels comfortable with in each area. Plus, being a solid, much of the mess associated with traditional microdermabrasion is eliminated and hands are kept clean.
What makes resurf.a.stic™ different from other at-home microdermabrasion treatments?
Gels or creams are applied using fingertips or a tool, which makes resurfacing evenly nearly impossible. Uneven pressure and irregular application patterns cause crystals to settle and cluster in low-level areas of the skin, causing redness and abrasion and leaving skin tender and discolored. Resurf.a.stic™s unique stick design allows crystals to be applied evenly at all times, eliminating redness and abrasions.
How do I use my resurf.a.stic™?
Wet stick with water. For the face product, wet face with water as well. Gently press stick on skin and move in a light circular motion for one to two minutes. Greater or lesser exfoliation can be achieved by simply increasing or reducing pressure. Rinse the treated area with water and pat dry. Rinse stick and close cap after use.
How frequently can I use my resurf.a.stic™?
Use once a week to start and increase treatment frequency as needed, up to three times per week.
What makes the face, body, ingrown and callus products different?
Different sized crystals are used for each of the product, depending on the sensitivity of the skin on that particular part of the body. For instance, resurf.a.stic™ face has much finer crystals than resurf.a.stic™ callus, which is used to soften very tough, hardened skin. The hydrating and skin-enriching treatments included in each specific formula also vary according to the needs of that part of the body.
Do I need to use a calming mask or post-treatment skin care regimen?
No. resurf.a.stic™ applies substantive bio-active hydrating moisturizers to the skin concurrently with microdermabrasion. This helps prevent skin from getting scratched or irritated, so there is no need for calming agents or post-treatment skin care.
What skin-enriching treatment agents are included in the resurf.a.stic™ formulations?
Natural ingredients like Aloe, Caffeine Butter, Chamomile Extract, Cucumber, Soy Protein and Symcalmin condition, moisturize and soothe skin while Green Tea, Vitamin A and Vitamin E deliver important antioxidant benefits, protecting newly resurfaced skin.
What are the medical-grade crystals made of?
The medical-grade, diamond-shaped crystals are made of aluminum oxide.
Will resurf.a.stic™ help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles?
Yes. Over time, resurf.a.stic™ will improve the overall health and texture of the skin as well as help diminish the appearance of fine lines, rough spots and wrinkles by softening skin and promoting collagen production.
Is it safe to use if I have Rosacea or Pustular Acne?
Resurf.a.stic™ should not be used if you have Rosacea or Pustular Acne, have very sensitive, broken or abraded skin.
Does resurf.a.stic™ reduce age spots or sun spots?
Yes. Resurf.a.stic™ face and body contain agents such as licorice root that aid in the diminishment of both age and sun spots with time. Resurf.a.stic™ body is great to use on areas such as the décolleté and hands where these pigmentations occur, leaving skin looking young and supple.

In bubbles and metal, the art of shape-shifting
The New York Times | May 22

But for the thousands of years that brewers have been brewing beer, those beer-drinking researchers have not had an equation to describe how the bubbles change over time. Now they do. ... Foundries today are bigger and more complex, but the underlying knowledge remains based more on experience rather than science.

Roboticist inspired by more than machines
CNET | May 18
Carnegie Mellon
University is becoming to robots, what Cooperstown is to baseball. Aside from its Robot Hall of Fame, Carnegie Mellon has unique outreach projects to engage mainstream America with robots. It has hosted RoboCup, a global soccer tournament played by robots, and most recently released DIY robot recipes that allow anyone to make robots from off-the-shelf parts through its Terk program. The people behind Carnegie Mellon's unique Robotics Institute have also become a hot topic for analysis since the release of a nonfiction book about them by Lee Gutkind. On Tuesday,
Matt Mason
, the director of the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon announced the 2007 inductees into the Robot Hall of Fame. The honor, which is judged by a jury of both leading science and science fiction experts, was created in April 2003 to call attention to the contributions robots and their creators make to society. Mason is known for his work on the mechanics of robot manipulation and has written four books on the topic. He spent some time with CNET News.com from the great glass hall of the Hynes Convention Center in Boston during RoboBusiness 2007.
Moody's double talk may cost taxpayers $3.6 billion
Bloomberg | May 18
When California sells taxable bonds to foreigners, Moody's Investors Service says the state's credit is Aaa, the highest possible. When the state sells tax-free debt to U.S. citizens, its creditworthiness is four levels lower. The discrepancy may cost taxpayers as much as $3.6 billion in extra interest on bonds sold during 2006, said Matt Fabian, an analyst at Municipal Market Advisors, a research firm in Concord, Massachusetts. New York-based Moody's doesn't allow towns and cities to apply the higher rankings to tax-exempt financings that make up 90 percent of the $2.4 trillion in outstanding municipal bonds. ... Moody's opened "a Pandora's box" and may cause public finance officials to question whether credit-rating companies' practices cost local governments money, said Richard Larkin, an analyst with JB Hanauer & Co., a fixed-income broker in Parsippany, New Jersey. Larkin previously worked at S&P for more than 20 years and was head of municipal ratings there. "Ratings don't reflect the low default rates of municipalities," said
Richard Green
, a public finance professor at
Carnegie Mellon
University's Tepper School of Business in Pittsburgh. "Pennsylvania is not going to stand by while garbage piles up in the streets of Pittsburgh or Philadelphia."
Game turns moviegoers into human joysticks
The New York Times | May 17
As part of a multimedia campaign to get people more involved with its Web news content, MSNBC.com has launched a game, called NewsBreaker Live, that plays in movie theaters. A motion-sensitive camera in the front of the theater measures how the audience is moving its arms. The camera then translates that collective motion to an onscreen paddle that players use to bounce a ball back up to the top of the screen to knock out blocks. ... The game is being run in place of the advertisements that usually play before film previews, and if a video posted on YouTube of the game being run in L.A. is any indication, it seems audiences are responding enthusiastically. The technology behind the theater game was created at
Carnegie Mellon
University, Mazur said.

Knight Foundation awards $12 Million for digital news projects
The Chronicle of Philanthropy | May 23
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation announced today the first winners of an unusual contest to foster Web logs and other digital efforts that seek to bring together residents of a city or town in ways that local newspapers historically have done. The foundation awarded $12 million to universities, nonprofit Internet sites, bloggers, and companies. ... In addition, Knight awarded eight grants of $15,000 each to bloggers. They include Dan Schultz, a sophomore majoring in information systems at
Carnegie Mellon
University, in Pittsburgh. Mr. Schultz, 20, said he will use the money to create a Web site that allows people to search for news stories from mainstream sources or local amateur reporters based on Global Positioning System coordinates. For example, a person could search for articles using the coordinates of his or her house or neighborhood. People will "get a more personalized version of the news," Mr. Schultz explained.
Cosby urges Carnegie Mellon nerds to 'accept themselves'
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | May 21
Looking relaxed as ever in a gray university sweat suit, Bill Cosby bypassed a traditional salute to graduates, addressing those at
Carnegie Mellon
University simply: "Uhhhh ... Nerds." With a devilish chuckle, the much-loved actor, author and comedian told the graduates gathered yesterday in Gesling Stadium that he was "bothered why anyone would accept themselves as nerds," who "don't know how to mingle ... don't know how to get along with other people, or dance, or just stand in a room and look human." The students took the jabs in good humor. ...
Mark G. Wessel

College degrees in the fast lane
KRIS-TV | May 21
In just a year, Lee Levenson upgraded his law career by earning 57 credits of rigorous computer programming and engineering courses. ... It's a concern among educators, certainly, but students should also ask themselves: Is the accelerated degree worth the rush? Ongoing research being conducted by cognitive scientists and education experts at
Carnegie Mellon
University suggests that it is. Carnegie Mellon's Open Learning Initiative (OLI), funded by $5.6 million in grants from the Hewlett Foundation, designed a series of high-quality introductory college level courses available for free on the Internet to anyone with an interest. ... "We wanted to make OLI better, faster," explains Candace Thille, director of the Open Learning Initiative at Carnegie Mellon. "Now we're testing to see whether we can get the same outcome with less work and less time." At press time, the class was still underway, but OLI statistics professor Oded Meyer says it's clear that the students are much more focused. "Right now it seems like it's succeeding," he says, noting that the online test scores have been as good if not better than typical classes. "It's not just that they learn quicker, but they maintain the same depth of learning and they do it faster," says
Marsha Lovett
, the associate director of Carnegie Mellon's Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence. "The best word for it is 'efficient.'"

Yearlong festival celebrates women in Pittsburgh arts
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | May 20
Pittsburgh's arts and cultural scene has been carrying the standard for the city's economic development for years, but it has another aspect worth bragging about: a significant number of women in leadership roles. ... To celebrate that success -- and keep it percolating -- the New Hazlett Theater on the North Side is holding a festival called "Women in the Arts: Founders, Pioneers, Instigators," which begins with a fund-raiser June 13. The yearlong festival will continue with a multi-day symposium in September and performances in September, November, January and February. ... Arts patron Jane Arkus, in an interview with
Carnegie Mellon
University College of Fine Arts Dean
Hilary Robinson
, says, "We caught the attention of people in a power position and made a big noise. ... It's very satisfying to have people come to you for what they think are all the answers, which you don't have, but what you can do is prod and probe and help generate answers."

Sell spectrum like ads, Google says
PC World (IDG News Service) | May 23
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has tried and failed to develop spectrum auctions that allow startup companies to get into the mobile service provider industry but now Google thinks it has a better idea. In a filing made to the FCC on Monday, Google proposes a spectrum policy that allows would-be service providers to bid real time in an auction for the right to use a piece of spectrum for a given period of time in order to deliver services to phones or other devices. The auction system could be similar to AdWords, the system Google offers to companies that bid against each other to have their ads displayed online when users search for certain terms. The proposal will "bring innovative new broadband-based applications, services, and devices to all Americans" and bridge the digital divide, Google wrote in the filing. ... Some experts say that Google's plan would ultimately favor companies with deep pockets. "It's not going to help smaller companies," said
Dave Farber
, a professor of computer science and public policy at
Carnegie Mellon
and a former chief technologist at the FCC. Figuring out how to build or access a network while also bidding on spectrum sounds expensive and risky to him. Farber also imagines opportunities for gamesmanship. Competitors could overbid in the auctions to try to keep others out, he said. "I think this is a response from big companies like Google to be able to get some of the new spectrum and they're trying to figure out how to do it without spending the type of money" typically required, he said.
Carnegie Speech: helping overseas agents overcome on of their biggest obstacles
TMCnet | May 23
Let's face it, we've all encountered occasional "language barrier" problems while trying to get tech support for our computers—or while ordering products from our favorite catalog. But the next time you find yourself in this situation, here's something to think about: Very often, the problem isn't that the agent doesn't understand what you are saying, it's that you don't understand what the agent is saying. Agents who hail from India and the Philippines, for example, are fluent in English, so more often than not, they can understand you perfectly—it's just that their accent can sometimes be an impediment to effective communication. ... Helping overseas agents to overcome this difficult obstacle—and become better performers at work—is Pittsburgh Pa.-based Carnegie Speech, which creates software for testing and improving English pronunciation for non-native speakers. Using advanced speech recognition technology developed at
Carnegie Mellon
University, the company's software enables call center agents to "self-train" themselves into becoming better English speakers. ... Carnegie Speech boasts an experienced management team with years of expertise in the areas of artificial intelligence and language technology. Company Chairman
Jaime Carbonell
is one of the world's foremost experts in artificial intelligence and language technology and is Director of Language Technologies at Carnegie Mellon University.

Remember this?
The New Yorker | May 28
October arrived in 1998, and Gordon Bell went paperless after hearing from a professor at
Carnegie Mellon
who was engaged in a project to scan a million books and post them online. The professor, a friend of Bell's named
Raj Reddy
, had called to ask if he could scan and post Bell's books including one on how to start a high-tech business. Bell said, "Of course." This, by the way, is the Gordon Bell, aged seventy-two, of Microsoft, who has been described as "the Frank Lloyd Wright of computers"; who, at the Digita Equipment Corporation, was among the first engineers to fashion computers into a network; who led the National Science Foundation effort to link the world's supercomputers—the Internet.

No efficiency without controls
WorldChanging | May 23
Many people are working on inventions that push the efficiency envelope in lighting, heating, computers, and more. But control technologies may actually be more important--by only using what we need, we can save huge amounts of energy with existing systems, and control technologies help us take only what we need. ... Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is another realm where control is crucial. It's also the realm that tends to be the #1 and #2 complaints of building occupants (with "it's too hot" and "it's too cold" vying for the top gripe position). In addition to occupancy sensors, the revolution that has happened over the last decade is giving individual users control over the temperature and ventilation of their own spaces. Companies that do this include Computrols and Argon Air among others; the latter claims "reduction in cost and energy consumption of at least 20%" using their system, and say it "requires 50% less outside air". Extensive research has also been done on it at Berkeley,
Carnegie Mellon
, and other institutes. A joint study between Carnegie Mellon and Oak Ridge National Lab showed that individual HVAC control not only yielded 20-35% less energy use, but also "lower first costs, significant churn savings [reconfiguration costs], measured thermal comfort and indoor air quality gains."

Biotech eyes linking Cleveland, Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | May 20
From outer space, distance is relative and state boundaries don't exist. That's the point Baiju Shah hopes to illuminate when he shows off a satellite view of the United States -- Pittsburgh and Cleveland are two nearby dots on a map, their suburbs bleeding into each other, a single corridor of light. And Mr. Shah, president of BioEnterprise in Cleveland, wants to use that two-hour drive to promote medical research and life-science businesses in both cities. ... The combined research talent, which in a perfect world spawns local business investment, is second to none if you add up the two regions, said Mark Coticchia, vice president within Case Western Reserve University's research and tech management division. He, as much as anyone else, has a sense of what both cities have to offer in biotech if they join forces -- before coming to Cleveland, he helped start
Carnegie Mellon
University's tech transfer office and also served as director of tech transfer at Redleaf Group, a Pittsburgh seed-stage venture firm. "If you take a look at the amount of research happening in those two regions and draw a circle around it, it's as big as any other geographic region in the country," he said. Carnegie Mellon, Case Western, UPMC and the Cleveland Clinic have as much national clout as any foursome of research hospitals and schools, and Pittsburgh alone has 700 life-sciences firms, large and small, more than 200 of them having been nurtured by the Greenhouse since summer 2002.
Regional Impact
Pa. school funding at heart of property tax cut debate
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review | May 20
After yet another proposal to cut property taxes was pummelled at the polls, lawmakers are trying to figure out what's next. The first thing voters and decision-makers need to realize is the debate really isn't about property taxes -- it's about how to pay for public schools, said Beverly Cigler, professor of public policy and administration at Penn State Harrisburg. ... A lawsuit being decided by Allegheny County Common Pleas Court Judge R. Stanton Wettick could force Pennsylvania lawmakers to retool the state's school tax system. The suit challenges the constitutionality of Allegheny County's base-year property assessment system. If Wettick deems the system, which is used by all 67 counties, unconstitutional, the General Assembly might revamp school funding to stave off court-ordered reassessments of every property in the state, analysts have said. Otherwise, voters will have to make it politically dangerous for lawmakers who fail to overhaul the tax system, said

Tech hub expansion for Carnegie Mellon in works
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review | May 24
Carnegie Mellon
University scored what is believed to be a national first two years ago by attracting researchers from three technology industry giants -- Intel, Google and Apple -- to the same building, the Collaborative Innovation Center in Oakland. Now, Carnegie Mellon and the Carnegie Museums are teaming up to repeat that success -- and attract more technology talent to Pittsburgh, officials said. With corporate, university-related and other operations filling just about every inch of the 128,000 square feet of space in the Collaborative Innovation Center, Carnegie Mellon and the Carnegie Museums are moving full-speed ahead on plans for Collaborative Innovation Center 2 in the same Junction Hollow section of Oakland.
Study says state lags in startups
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | May 24
Launching a new business isn't popular activity among Pennsylvanians, according to a new report that reinforces the long-held argument that the state isn't entrepreneur-friendly. ... The Pittsburgh region drew the fewest number of immigrants, about 16,000, of any metropolitan area in the country between 2000 and 2006, according to U.S. census data. This lack of immigrants is Pittsburgh's primary problem in terms of business generation, said
S. Thomas Emerson
, the David T. And Lindsay J. Morgenthaler professor of entrepreneurship at
Carnegie Mellon
University's Tepper School of Business. But Pennsylvania's business tax structure isn't helping, either, Dr. Emerson added, noting other states have tax policies that allow entrepreneurs to keep more of the value they create.
Rendell's 6.17% oil profits tax to bail out transit is called viable
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review | May 24
With gasoline prices soaring, a liberal-leaning think tank on Wednesday called for the Legislature to approve Gov. Ed Rendell's proposed oil profits tax that several economists say would be passed along in higher prices at the pumps. ... The study released yesterday asserted that the federal courts are unlikely to strike down such a ban and that most costs associated with the tax would be borne by company stockholders. ... "The question is, who's got the market power? My guess is the oil companies have market power," said
Robert Strauss
an economist and tax expert at
Carnegie Mellon
University. Asked whether consumers will ultimately bear a significant portion of the tax, Strauss, said, "Yeah, of course."

Carnegie Mellon computer scientist awarded 2007 Godel prize
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review | May 23
Is there a way to bypass wonder and just get to the answer? How much difference is there between creating and appreciating? Is knowing that a solution to a problem exists the same as actually solving it? These questions anyone can ponder, but answering them -- and proving the answer is correct -- is one of the world's biggest mathematical challenges. It's called the P versus NP problem.
Carnegie Mellon
University computer scientist
Steven Rudich
and Russian mathematician Alexander A. Razborov will receive a prestigious award in June for proving that a solution to the problem can't be proved -- at least not with math as we know it. The Association for Computing Machinery's 2007 Gödel Prize will be awarded to Rudich and Razborov in San Diego at the association's annual meeting the week of June 11.

Scientists develop artificial blood
Nigerian Tribune | May 24
Scientists from the University of Sheffield have developed an artificial 'plastic blood', which could act as a substitute for real blood in emergency situations. The 'plastic blood' made from a plastic is light to carry and easy to store. The 'plastic blood' can be stored as a thick paste in a blood bag and then dissolve it in water just before giving it to patients, making it very easy to transport than liquid blood. ...
Chien Ho
, lead researcher from
Carnegie Mellon
University in Pittsburgh, Pa. similarly described a method to produce small amounts of hemoglobin in a laboratory. Different types of hemoglobin can be designed using the same techniques. For example, they might be tailored to meet specific medical requirements for afflictions like sickle-cell anemia and other blood-related disorders.
World Bank struggles with identity crisis
International Herald Tribune | May 22
The crisis has ended over Paul Wolfowitz, with his resignation as president of the World Bank last week. But the bank's identity crisis has just begun. ... Some bank officials acknowledge that one reason for continuing loans to middle-income countries is that their repayments keep the bank staff large enough to provide technical assistance and analysis needed by donors and recipients alike. In 2000, an advisory commission created by Congress and headed by
Allan Meltzer
, professor of political economy and public policy at
Carnegie Mellon
University, recommended stopping loans to middle-income countries and converting loans to the poorest countries into grants. Meltzer said recently that he once had high hopes that Wolfowitz would transform the bank in this direction and was disappointed that he did not. "The basic problem for the bank is that it's hard to see what good it has done anywhere," Meltzer said.
Testing the limits of hard disk recovery
BBC News | May 22
As our digital appetites increase, so does our need to store our data. But as we move into the terabyte age with trillions of bytes of storage available for a few hundred pounds, can we rely on hard disk drives to safeguard precious information? And what happens when they do fail or are damaged? ... A recent report from Google engineers suggested that there is no link between heavy use and hard drive failure. Hard drives less than three years old that are used a lot are less likely to fail than similarly aged hard drives that are used infrequently, according to the report. However, a
Carnegie Mellon
University report recently suggested that the failure rate of hard drives used in the business sector was a lot higher than manufacturers' claims.
I, coach
Linux World (Computerworld) | May 21
Someday robots will do more than vacuum your floors. They will train you, advise you and help you remember things as they strive to improve your quality of life.
Takeo Kanade
is a roboticist, but his work extends far beyond the C3PO-like humanoids that often come to mind when one thinks of robots. He has been a pioneer in computer vision, smart sensors, autonomous land and air vehicles, and medical robotics. Kanade, a professor of computer science and robotics at

Seminar for local school teachers
The Peninsula | May 20
Carnegie Mellon
University is organizing a three-day training workshop for local school teachers. The professional development workshop on CS4Qatar, a new program, is to be conducted by the Faculty of Computer Science and it is tailored to reach out to technology, math and computer science teachers in local schools and middle schools. Faculty members from both Pittsburgh and Qatar will provide resources to teachers that will better allow them to teach computer science principles in a fun and relevant way. This includes helping teachers understand all of the exciting career possibilities that are available to students who go on to study computer science in college. "We're finding that a lot of teachers don't know what computer science is," says
Majd Sakr
, professor of computer science. "If we can help teachers understand what the field of computer science encompasses, they will be better equipped to educate their students and enhance computer science programs at their schools."
Good decision makers are bred not born
NewKerala | May 18
A recent research has found that people are not born with good decision making skills, but can be trained to make sound choices. The study, conducted by decision scientists at
Carnegie Mellon
University and the RAND Corp, has found that people who excel in a series of decision-making tasks concerning hypothetical situations are likely to have more positive decision outcomes in their lives. The study, which is being published in the May issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and will be presented on May 25 at the Association for Psychological Science's annual convention in Washington, D.C., also proposes that an improved quality of life is possible if people are taught better decision-making skills. ... "Intelligence doesn't explain everything. Our results suggest that people with good decision-making skills obtain better real-life outcomes, even after controlling for cognitive ability, socio-economic status and other factors. That is good news, because decision-making skills may be taught," said
Wandi Bruine de Bruin
, a researcher in the Department of Social and Decision Sciences at Carnegie Mellon and the lead author of the study.

Louisiana legislators could soon be added to a special class of officials allowed to carry concealed guns in most public buildings and other places most people can't.
Senate Bill 651, which won final approval at the Capitol on Wednesday bars legislators and anyone else from packing heat at the state Capitol.
Coupled with legislation approved earlier this session, the state Capitol will have tighter gun control than most restaurants in Louisiana -- even those that serve alcohol.
But if approved by the governor, SB 651 would add state lawmakers to the list of "peace officers" who can tote their concealed weapons in otherwise restricted areas, including state buildings aside from the Capitol and courthouses. Others given the special privelege include judges, constables, coroners, district attorneys and other authorities.
"This just adds legislators to the group; it doesn't broaden where people can go," Rep. Jeff Thompson, R-Bossier City, explained earlier this week on the House floor.
The Capitol had become one hang-up as the legislation snaked its way through the Legislature this session. In its final form, SB 651 expressley outlaws guns in the statehouse.
Gov. Bobby Jindal already has signed several gun bills into law this session, including House Bill 72, which allows concealed carry in restaurants that serve alcohol.
The National Riffle Association lauded Jindal's signing of the legislation, noting that 49 states now allow "some form of carry for personal protection in these establishments."

Ratings for Dr. Karen Opdyke
Not trustworthy went there many times in the beginning it was ok but after awhile she don't seem to care and couldn't be trusted
After many years with another therapist I was given Dr. Opdyke's number. It has been the best decisionfor me to change my therapy. Dr. Opdyke is the most caring, compassionate, supportive & very attentive to her patients. She is always there when you need her & very knowledgable in her field. You can feel very comfortable discussing everything with her knowing she is truly looking out for your best interest. I can not recommend Dr. Opdyke enough!! Thank you for always caring. She is a wonderful person.
Dr. Opdyke is very compassionate and cares about her patients. She was the only one to help us after years of searching for my son. She knows medications and respects patients that can't go by "normal". Much time and care was given to my sign in getting the exact combination of medication down to the smallest amount that was needed. She continues to work with us and is there for us even in the emergencies. We are so grateful to Dr. Opdyke and her compassion and knowledge and can't recommend her enough. Thank you Dr. Opdyke!
I was under the care of three psychiatrists over the past 17 years. Each of these doctors misdiagnosed my condition, prescribing dozens of different drugs in numerous combinations. None of these "remedies" was effective leaving me with crushing side effects. Under Dr. Opdyke's expert and thoughtful care, with the proper diagnosis, I am well for the first time in 17 years. I cannot recommend Dr. Opdyke more highly. She is caring, attentive, a careful listener and sees me as a person, not just a patient. She responds quickly to phone calls and spends the necessary time on the phone to fully answer my questions and solve my issues. I now feel I am in good hands and am deeply grateful to have found a doctor who is concerned about me and not with her ego. Best of luck!
Extremely attentive to her patients needs - returns phone calls within a couple hours; appointment times are really your appointment time - no waiting! Approachable and sympathetic - Above all else, Dr. Opdyke knows what she is doing and is very knowledgable. Highly recommend!
Dr. Opdyke is a compassionate, very caring & is very knowledgeable in her field.
Awesome psychiatrist if you are the type who needs feedback. I've had 6 psychiatrists over 15+ years (for simple anxiety/panic) and she's by far the best...

Today I saw this story about three people who were injured after being dragged (inside their vehicle) 250m by a moving train. They are injured but largely OK I believe.
The level crossing had excellent visibility and the train had already entered the intersection before the car moved in front of it. It was a copper ore train carrying a full load.
Some background on trains.
First, some train jargon. Impress your rail industry acquaintances!
A train is only called a "train" when it has locomotives and wagons joined together. Locomotives joined only to other locomotives are called a "Consist" (pronounced Con-sist not Cunsist). Wagons joined only to other wagons are called a "rake". Rail people get really upset when you get that wrong.
I spent 4 years working in the railway industry and let me tell you, a train that can stop within 250m is traveling pretty slowly. Either that or its short. I am assuming that this train was pulling the largest load possible (given the available locomotive power), which is the most fuel efficient and the industry norm. Due to the low friction of railway tracks and the fact that a locomotive uses roughly the same fuel no matter what once it is rolling, the more wagons the train can pull, the more efficient. The only limiting factor is the locomotive's ability to hold the train stationary on a hill with its weight alone. One car too many and the whole lot slides backwards and no amount of braking will stop it.
The word "shunting" was used in the news report which within the rail industry also implies very slow travel. "Shunting" refers to the slow maneuvering of the train back and forth, in and out of adjacent tracks, picking up more and more waiting rail cars. A freight train could be up to 1.8km long depending on how many locomotives are hooked up. A 500m+ long freight train is very common. Especially in mining applications.
Also, in an emergency stop, stopping within the distance of a single train length is considered to be excellent.
So a 250m stopping distance implies either a 250m train or a very slow train. Considering it was a copper ore train and that fact that ore trains are notoriously long, I'm betting on the latter.
So here's the interesting part about what happened. The vehicle evidently made a last second dash across the tracks trying to "cut-off" the train. It is highly plausible that the driver of that vehicle thought they could make it across the tracks in time. Especially if the train was moving as slowly as it was. They may have been wrong about how fast the train was traveling but I think the real reason was less obvious than that. As for why they decided on a last minute dash, if you have ever been stuck at a crossing waiting for a train to shunt you will know it takes forever. I can understand their haste to beat the train. Stupid to the max but understandable.
The real judgment error however, was probably that they probably assumed that cutting off a train requires the same kind of "timing" employed when cutting off another car.
(My impression of a game show buzzer. Yeah, its so real.)
When you cut off a car in the street the other driver hits the brakes. Often quite considerably, and often right from the moment that they realise how much of a fucking moron you are. Real fast in other words.
So drivers out there who are in the habit of cutting other drivers off will tend to have a very distorted "feel" for how fast the other vehicle can be traveling before they realise its best to abandon the attempt. Drivers that routinely cut off other drivers tend not to comprehend how much of a role the skill of the other driver played in avoiding disaster. They tend to assume it was their own sharp judgment and honed ( "hooned" ) driving skills that let them capitalize on a gap that other "lesser" drivers could not. Idiots.
Which is why arrogant dickheads like the ones I describe get hit by trains. A train virtually doesn't brake when you cut them off. Their speed is essentially unchanged when they hit you and that fact is what makes trains so much harder to "beat" than cars.
It's much like failing to notice that someone has been helping you jump across a gap every day. Then one day you make the attempt when your invisible helper is off sick and you break every bone in your body. You thought you were making the whole jump by yourself but you can really only jump half as far. Duh.
TL:DR When the other driver doesn't (can't) hit the brakes, even a slower vehicle, that you would normally duck in front of easily, will hit you. Plus you're an idiot.

Penny Wong and Sophie Allouache have a baby and it's boring. Fantastic!
Penny Wong (Federal minister for finance) and Sophie Allouache (partner and public servant) finally give birth to their first child. Australia has taken a step further into equality and rationality by openly welcoming a high profile politician who is both gay and a new parent. Had Penny Wong begun her career in the US, I am quite certain she would not have seen the political sucess and electorate acceptance she has seen here.
THAT is why the birth of her first child within a long term gay relationship is news.
A higher proportion of male geniuses may not be biologically determined after all.
When it came to the debate over whether there were more male maths geniuses than female, it always bothered me that the data appeared to demostrate a larger number of men at the extremes of IQ (both low and high), while women tended to be bunched in the middle, be it with an identical average score. This difference has been assumed to be universal and thus biological.

Man builds miniature 12 cylinder engine. From Scratch. In spanish. Coolness.
Chas from Hague sent this link to me after reading my blog post linking to an "explosion engine video"
I work with high horsepower 16+ cylinder engines every day so this video spoke to my heart. I wont count this as a DIY because lets face it, you probably don't have the Skillz.
No audio commentary. Just some nice classical music. Titles in Spanish but the translations are obvious even if you don't speak a word. Especially if you know your engines.
Very cool. Even more so if you need to learn the Spanish names for engine components. I don't. But memorized the lot anyway. I'm a loser. Its true.
Two attractive women working in IT? Together? Pure. Fantasy.
Minor debate has fired up in parts of the Australian IT community over whether this ad is sexist.

How you dress says a lot about your self-awareness. You don't have total freedom. Yet.
Women are going to hate me for saying that what they wear matters. I know this.
Recently I saw this article in The Age Online. In short, it describes how women sitting in a university waiting room (waiting to participate in a study) reacted in a "bitchy" way toward a planted woman who entered the room wearing very revealing clothing. The inference was that dressing in a revealing way will lose you friends. Anywhere.

How I failed at office skepticism.
This is a story that dates back to an earlier era. Internet 1.0 if you want to put it that way. Back in the days before Facebook where email was still the number one way to share weird links, jokes, worms, email chains and provide "status updates". Except nobody knew they were called status updates yet. I'm just trying to use language the kids will understand. But I still think this story translates well to Facebook and other social mediums.
A popular type of email that was eagarly awaited in the office was the "Amazing" email. Amazing emails were full of incredible images or stories meant to shock, awe and warn of as-yet-unknown horrific dangers. Only about 5% of all amazing emails had any basis in fact whatsoever. If that. But people wanted to believe. Photoshopping was not so well known back then and an image spoke 1000 words. Usually rubbish words.

Female engineers. You suck at selling yourself.
Women working in male dominated fields are painfully aware that at least some of their colleagues will have trouble seeing them as professional equals. I am in my early 30s and I still occasionally have colleagues that see me as the resident graduate trainee. While it is progress if you consider attitudes towards female engineers from 20 years ago, "graduate" status meant that my work was assumed to contain more mistakes than male colleagues at the same skill level. Not helpful. On the other hand, If your organisation openly admits to having a female hiring quota, you may face an even tougher battle changing the perceptions of your make colleagues. Even if you were not hired as a result of the quota.
But colleagues are not the number one haters. The biggest battle professional women face is with their own minds. I'm not saying that genuine discrimination from colleagues doesn't exist, but that each woman's worst discriminator is herself. In short, if a woman suspects that her colleagues might consider her to be more junior and less experienced than she really is, she will live up to the stereotype and tend to perform worse.

How Stuff Works: Dancing Squid
Discovery Networks Explains the famous "Dancing Squid" video. Thanks to this rather eerie video, thousands of people were creeped into learning more about the basic chemistry of life just because they saw this squid "dance".
And no, it did not feel even the tiniest amount of pain. You can't if you don't have a brain. Or a head for that matter.
Send Bruzynski to HELL (or the atheist equivalent)
A short but important note:
If you have ever encountered someone trying to raise money (often well over $100k) to get treatment at the "Burzynski clinic", gently (and tactfully) explain to them that they will not get the cancer treatment they seek.
Radiohead recently got sucked in when they donated a guitar to help raise money for a young cancer patient to attend this clinic. There are many who falsely assume such expensive treatment cannot possibly be fraudulent. Burzynski has had good PR for far too long and its time the world was told how this man preys on the weak, promising them life while watching them die and then turning to strip their greiving families of money. The lowest of the low.
Burzynski charges exorbitant rates, applying a treatment that doesn't work and never has, offering dangerous false hope to terminally ill cancer patients (who all end up dying anyway). Anyone who exposes his fraud is immediately met with legal threats and harrassment.
When there were one or two bloggers he could take each one on directly. But he can't sue thousands of people! ;-) which is why I am spreading the word.
This man deserves to be in jail. Spread the word.
Read about the teenager Burzynski is currently targeting with legal threats
Last but not least. Sign the following petitions:
- Force the FDA to investigate Burzynski
- Petition asking Burzynski to release research and clinical data.

TEL AVIV (Oct. 25)
Seven terrorists were killed and three Israel Defense Force soldiers were wounded in two separate incidents in south Lebanon around midnight.
The three soldiers were wounded in a clash with three terrorists who were trying to cross the Awali River. The Israelis opened fire and killed two of the terrorists. The third terrorist threw a grenade at the IDF patrol, which exploded and wounded two soldiers. In chasing the third terrorist, the other IDF soldier slipped on the steep rocky hillside and was injured. Other IDF soldiers in the patrol chased the terrorist and killed him.
At about the same time, another IDF patrol in the Baroukh moutain area clashed with another terrorist group. Two terrorists were killed on the spot and two others were killed while attempting to flee. There were no Israeli casualties in this incident.

Here's some more anti-Nielsen fodder for Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman today at his UBS Global Media & Communications Conference appearance: The TV ratings company is admitting that it made a mistake when estimating the number of kids who are watching TV compared with last year. Though not directly related to Dauman's fight with Nielsen over the ratings decline at kids network Nickelodeon, it's likely he will use the admission for an I-told-you-so moment: The CEO has been on the hot seat since September, when Nielsen first reported the unusually weak ratings, and now he's got ammunition for his claim that the decline is a "blip" owing to errors on Nielsen's side. During the downswing, Viacom has seen analyst downgrades and a boost in make-goods that can't be recouped during a time when Nick is ramping up its always robust fourth-quarter ad business, when it accounts for about 25% of Viacom's ad revenue thanks to toy ads around the holidays. Nick also is losing traction to rivals like Disney Channel, which the week of November 20 beat Nick in the ratings for the first time since August 2007. Today, Nielsen is telling the Wall Street Journal that it is revising its estimate on the number of kids who watch TV: from up 1.7% to down 2.9%. The paper said Nielsen found that it failed to "apply a standard adjustment" after Viacom questioned the numbers, but that it has nothing to do with its measurements of Nick's ratings. That matter remains before the Media Rating Council.
Nielsen Admits Mistake In Kids Viewership Data But Stands Behind Nickelodeon Ratings

All I know is that my kids (and all their friends) watch Icarly and Victorious religiously. They can't get enough of those shows. And my husband (a tough-guy contractor type) loves to watch them WITH the kids. Comparitively, the shows my youngest daughter watches on Disney are painful in every way. IMO, as long as Nick has Icarly and Victorious they have the best that youth-oriented programming has to offer.
Your editorializing on this about Phillipe doesn't make sense. Nielsen revised kids watching downwards (from what had been, previously, upwards)… so it actually weakens the argument by Mr. Dauman.
I said it here before, and I will gladly repeat it. Nielsen is broken. Their methodologies are incorrect and the 'truth' they report is more like a general possibility. It's impossible for them to be right given the scope of sampling and the number of variables. But the entire system is dependent on them. Much like the credit rating agencies kept giving triple A ratings to junk, Nielsen is doing the same. Sooner or later it will all come tumbling down. Or not.
If the former iCarly vs Hannah Montana competition demonstrates anything… I could barely make it through HM (sorry Miley, you're hot but not that hot).
But Nick doesn't have an iCarly replacement (Victorious won't cut it) so I'm not betting Nick.
Not that middle America gives a flying monkey shit about quality. Disney knows how to package it up and put a tiara on it so…
In any case, Deadline is spot on — how does Nielsen miss a "standard adjustment?!" Sounds like a car mechanic forgetting to put the tire back on. May be an honest mistake but are you really going to trust their oil change after that?
smoke and mirrors. how does nielsen quantify demo's of who's watching at a given time now? hopefully not still with diaries and phone surveys. information appreciated.
with technology being what it is today, and how intrusive it is, you'd think new tv's would have a built in technology to show what each tv is tuning into (including DVR use), and for how long.
This is a comment based on no research, but I thought the original post was about a viewership decline among very young kids, not teenagers. That made me wonder if Spongebob was trending downward for the first time. Spongebob is such a huge part of Nickelodean that declining Spongebob ratings be a huge problem. I see that last weeks top 25 cable ratings only had two Spongebob entries.
On a personal note, I'm switching from team Disney to team Nickelodean because Miley Cyrus is developing closer ties to Paramount. Until and unless Disney moves forward with the "Wings" movie (2014?) Miley fans were waiting for, I will continue to have unpleasant thoughts about them.

Washington DC (SPX) Sep 12, 2008
There has been considerable interest in the recent state of Arctic sea ice for scientific research and for operational applications especially along the Northern Sea Route and the Northwest Passage. This pair of sea ice maps was derived from radar data from NASA's QuikScat satellite scatterometer on September 2, 2008 (left panel) and September 5, 2008 (right panel).
QuikScat's unique features make it a powerful tool for mapping sea ice and accurately identifying sea ice conditions. It can distinguish sea ice from open water, differentiate different classes of ice, and compensate for effects of strong winds on ocean surfaces and effects of melt on ice.
In the above images, red areas denote sea ice that was undergoing active melting on the ice surface, magenta areas show sea ice with reduced melt, cyan areas are refrozen sea ice that had some residual wetness from earlier melting, and white areas represent sea ice that had been refrozen for 10 or more days.
Ocean areas with less than 15 percent ice cover on the surface are blue, while land surfaces are shown in brown and missing data are depicted in black.
Along the coast of Siberia, the Northern Sea Route was blocked by ice in an area northeast of Taymyr Peninsula (denoted by the black "T") on September 2.
Just three days later, on September 5, an ocean path was observed in the same area. Warm air transported by northward winds led to extensive areas of active melt (red) over a larger region extending from the Barents Sea across the Kara Sea to the Laptev Sea on September 5.
That melt event was so large that some parts of it reached as far north as the vicinity of the North Pole.
Along the Canadian north coast, the Northwest Passage was blocked in the Parry Channel north of Victoria Island (denoted by the black "V") on both of these dates, and ice in the small straits south of Victoria Island was slightly reduced on September 5 compared to that on September 2. Very little active melt (red) was observed in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago on both dates.
The sea routes may be opened or closed rapidly by transient weather events. Such unstable sea ice conditions in the passages can cause a significant navigation risk.
The total sea ice extent in the Arctic at this time was about 0.5 million square kilometers (0.2 mission square miles) larger than that at the same time last year. That difference in sea ice extent amounts to an area the size of Spain.
QuikSCAT, managed by JPL, measures ocean surface wind/stress by sending radar pulses to the surface and measuring the strength of the signals returned.

1. This celebrity couple split a couple of years ago. While the media didn't cover every nuance of their division, it was definitely ugly behind the scenes. So we were very surprised to hear that this pretty blonde actress and her ex-husband have been privately spending a a lot of time together recently, and are considering taking their reunion public. While it would certainly bring publicity to their respective projects, we hope that publicity is not the primary reason for the hook up. (Blind Gossip)
2. He is a really good actor. He has even had some roles that have been nominated for a big award or two. Yet this over-30 quiet guy wants more attention. He is not dating the woman with whom he is hanging around, but he is interested in having a girlfriend. His team has been calling around town trying to find a new one for him. Here are the requirements: She must be thin, pretty, and famous with no scandal in her background. Oh, and she must like facial hair. (Blind Gossip)
3. Did she get fired or did she quit? Technically, she quit. But it was because the price of staying was too high. Here is the ss work. Everybody parts on good terms. Everybody wins. (Blind Gossip)
