Minced Meat, Crab, and Grapefruit Vietnamese Salad
This Vietnamese salad recipe is courtesy of Chef Bobby Chinn and can be found in his cookbook, "Wild, Wild East."
- Servings: 5
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, October Fall 2008
- 1 pomelo
- 6 ounces minced pork or beef
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fish Sauce Dip (Nuoc Cham)
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced Thai bird's-eye chile
- 1 small Spanish onion, finely chopped
- 1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 3 1/2 ounces crabmeat, drained and picked through for shells
- Iceberg lettuce cups, for serving
- Julienned carrots, for garnish
- Julienned cucumber, peeled, for garnish
Slice the top and bottom of the pomelo with a paring knife. Set one of the flat sides on your work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Trim off any remaining pith. Holding the pomelo over a bowl, cut along both sides of each segment, staying close to the membrane, to release; set aside.
Place the minced meat in a medium saucepan along with 3 tablespoons water. Cook over medium heat until cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in lime juice, fish sauce dip, and chile; let cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine onion, ginger, cilantro, and crab. Tear pomelo segments into small pieces and add to bowl. Add cooled meat and toss to combine.
Serve salad in lettuce cups garnished with carrots and cucumber.

The suits against HTC, ViewSonic, and RIM cite products that use the Android or BlackBerry OS, but conspicuously ignore devices that use Nokia partner Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system.
That's not surprising in the cases of RIM and ViewSonic, which don't offer Windows Phone-based mobile devices. But it's noteworthy that Nokia's complaint against HTC only mentions Google Android phones while skipping Windows Phone models manufactured by the Taiwanese company. Microsoft and Nokia have software licensing arrangements in place, but Nokia is accusing the defendants of violating both software and hardware patents.
[ Is Windows Phone 7.5 worth the upgrade? See: 7 Hottest Features In Windows Phone 7 Mango. ]
Analysts say it would be unusual for HTC not to use many of the same hardware components in both its Windows and Android devices.
Although some believe it's unlikely that Nokia, which is headed by former Microsoft exec Stephen Elop and is porting its entire lineup to Windows Phone, is acting at the behest of Microsoft in its legal salvos, they note that, at the very least, Redmond likely welcomes the actions.
"Microsoft is not going to tell Nokia not to do this," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Anything that runs against Android is something that they would clearly like."
Adding insult to injury for HTC is the fact that it previously agreed to pay license fees to Microsoft for its Android products, which Redmond claims violates Windows patents. Now it's facing double jeopardy if it ends up paying fees to Nokia for those same products.
Nokia filed its complaints with the International Trade Commission, in regional courts in Dusseldorf and Mannheim, Germany, and in U.S. District Court in Delaware. In the Delaware filing, Nokia singled out the HTC Amaze, Inspire, Flyer, Jetstream, MyTouch, Sensation, and Vivid, alleging that those products violate nine patents. All of those phones or tablets run Android.
Nokia claims HTC's Android phones violate patents that govern technologies and methods ranging from "Synchronization of Database with Date Range", and "Method for Attenuating Spurious Signals and Receiver", to "Lighting Control Method and Electronic Device". Smartphones in HTC's Windows Phone lineup, including the Titan, Radar, HD7, Trophy, Arrive, and Surround, got a pass.
Enderle said the prospect of getting sued by both Microsoft and Nokia for using Android might have some hardware makers thinking twice about their commitment to Google's mobile OS. "You can't just go grab a bunch of code, call it open source, and then bring out products. Google didn't think at all about what was going to happen to its licensees," said Enderle.
For its part, Nokia said it's merely trying to protect its intellectual property. "We have already licensed our standards essential patents to more than 40 companies," said Nokia chief legal officer Louise Pentland, in a statement. "Though we'd prefer to avoid litigation, Nokia had to file these actions to end the unauthorized use of our proprietary innovations and technologies, which have not been widely licensed."
HTC, ViewSonic, and RIM have yet to file formal responses to Nokia's allegations.
At this interactive Enterprise Mobility Virtual Event, experts and solution providers will offer detailed insight into how to bring some order to the mobile industry innovation chaos.

Maritime Transportation Security Act
Ports Praise President's Signing of Security Legislation
Public Port Authorities are commending President Bush for signing two key pieces of legislation that combined establish a framework for protecting the United States from maritime terrorism. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 and the Maritime Transportation Security Act were both signed into law at the White House yesterday. The new Department of Homeland Security will coordinate all border security functions, including those that will be responsible for maritime security, such as the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs Service, the Transportation Security Administration and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The new Department will take the lead in implementing much of the Maritime Transportation Security Act. "We applaud this historic effort to facilitate a coordinated approach to the imperative task of securing our borders and our ports," said Kurt J. Nagle, President of the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA). "By creating a united front against terrorist threats to the nation, President Bush and Congress have boldly taken action that we believe is essential in protecting the vital interests of the U.S. port industry and our overall national economy and security," Nagle continued. "U.S. ports handle 95 percent of overseas trade by volume and support the mobilization and deployment of our armed forces."
Hearing on Maritime Transportation Amendments of 2004
The Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation will conduct a hearing on the Maritime Transportation Amendments of 2004 (H.R. 4251) on May 6, 2004. The bill, if enacted, would, among other things, provide for in rem liability for a vessel used in violation of the Maritime Transportation Security Act and provide for inspection of towing vessels.

GAO: Better Planning Needed on ID Card Program
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a Report stating that better planning is needed to develop and operate the maritime worker identification card program.

The program is delayed, in large part because (1) officials had difficulty obtaining timely approval to

DHS Port Security Grants
The President's FY 2005 request includes $46 million in port security grants to be administered by the Office of Domestic Preparedness. The Maritime Transportation Security Act authorizes the Secretary of Transportation, acting through the Maritime Administrator, to make port security grants to port authorities, facility operators, and state and local governments. These grants may be used to correct vulnerabilities in port security and ensure compliance with Area Maritime Transportation
CG Authorization Act … The Senate Version
In addition to the proposed amendment to the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA) [discussed in Friday's edition of this newsletter], the Senate version of the Coast Guard Authorization Act (S. 733) has other sections of interest. The measure, if enacted, would amend the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) to require non-tank vessels of 400 gross tons or greater to have vessel response plans (VRPs) similar to those required of tank vessels
Coast Guard Budget Request & Reauthorization
The Administration requests $7.5 billion for fiscal year 2005 for the Coast Guard. This request is $430 million, or approximately 6.1 percent, more than the amount appropriated for the Coast Guard in fiscal year 2004. Included in the request is $5.2 billion for Operating Expenses, $101 million to implement the Maritime Transportation Security Act, and $942.6 million for Acquisitions, Construction and Improvements (including $678 million for the Deepwater Capability Replacement Project).
Coast Guard Receives Majority of Maritime Security Plans
The U.S. Coast Guard announced today that 90 percent of vessels and port facilities turned in security plans as required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act. Penalties are being issued to those that have not submitted any of the information required."Security in America's ports is a shared responsibility," said Rear Adm. Larry Hereth, director of port security for the Coast Guard. "We have made tremendous progress protecting the ports

While McG is linked to the director role, Beyonce Knowles sets eyes to be the first African-American superheroine in 'Wonder Woman'.
While many still speculate on who should play the titular character in "Wonder Woman", an interesting tidbit about possible movie director for the film comes forth. Sparking rumors on the subject, IESB has mentioned that Warner Bros. want "Terminator Salvation" helmer McG to direct the superheroine feature project.
Though bringing up the 40-year-old's name to the speculation plate, IESB noted that it is still unclear whether the film director has been signed or he is one of the potential candidates or even he is campaigning for the role. In addition, the studio have yet to send out any confirmation or denial regarding this rumor.
On the latest casting news, R 'n' B star Beyonce Knowles has spoken out about her hope of becoming the first African-American Wonder Woman to Los Angeles Times. "I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great," she said in an interview posted on November 7. "And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It's time for that, right?"
Though not much can be discussed on the future of the on-again off-again feature project, "Wonder Woman" is eyeing a 2009 release and will be produced by Joel Silver and Leonard Goldberg. Previously, writer/director Joss Whedon is attached to the project, but in early 2007, he suddenly gave up his position as both writer and director of the movie.

I like floral, patterned and all sorts of different plaid. Sparkles and glitter are also important. The best way to reach me is thru email or phone, I am part of the texting generation. I mainly want this for some fun and it would be a dream come true if it turned into a career. I have had a lot happen to my recently and this would definitely perk my spirits.

Congressman Bob Goodlatte released the following statement after voting in support of the National Emergency and Disaster Recovery Act (H.J.Res. 85) and the Nutrition Assistance for Low-Income Women and Children Act (H.J.Res. 75) -- both of which garnered the support of Republicans and Democrats in the House:
"As the partial government shutdown continues, the House voted yet again today to fund critical parts of the federal government. In the midst of hurricane season, I voted in favor of the National Emergency and Disaster Recovery Act to restore funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). I also voted in support of a bill to provide nutrition assistance for low-income women and children, commonly known as WIC. These are votes that both sides of the aisle in the House can agree upon. Why can't the Senate do the same? The American people expect their representatives in Congress to work together to find a common sense way forward. We are acting in the House and are ready for the Senate to do the same."

So You Want To Be A Producer
(Three Rivers Press, 274 pages, $14)
By Lawrence Turman
The question "what does a producer do?" is probably best answered by someone who has actually gotten films made. In So You Want To Be A Producer, Lawrence Turman, the force behind The Graduate, shares some lessons learned. Using his own experience, Turman, who has shepherded dozens of films and is the Endowed Chair at USC's Peter Stark Producing Program, lays out the responsibilities of his profession. A producer, according to Turman, is someone who starts the ball rolling, and keeps it rolling on the path he has in mind. (Like Jewison's memoir, this one includes recollections of working with the erratic Judy Garland, in Turman's case producing her in I Could Go On Singing.) He is kind to directors, bemoaning the age discrimination that keeps older, pedigreed names from working. He's highly reverent of Mike Nichols, whom he hired to direct The Graduate. An entertaining, point-by-point case study of that film closes the book. Turman also relates a humorous, embarrassing anecdote in which Nichols delivered an acceptance speech for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at the DGA Awards dinner when his name had merely been the first read from the list of nominees. The next year, Nichols actually won for The Graduate, and Turman accepted for him, relishing the chance to pass on Nichols' regrets with the quip, "But it doesn't really matter because all of you already heard his acceptance speech last year."
Review written by Robert Abele.
The best of new publications by, for, and about directors, their teams and the industry.
William Wyler has often been excluded from auteurist circles, and by extension from serious film study, which, as Gabriel Miller argues, is a gross oversimplification.
It's easy to generalize the work of director Wes Anderson as "artificial," but in his new book, Matt Zoller Seitz finds the substance in Anderson's signature style.
Teetering between exhaustive and exhausting, Fosse brings us the definitive portrait of a complex man and talented director.
In John Badham's latest book he culls from his nearly 40-year history in the industry to provide invaluable first-hand insight for vets and novices alike.
Wilson's new memoir is a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of what it was like to bring viewers "the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat," week in, week out.
Who Owns the Future? is a cautionary tale, warning of an economic cataclysm and eradication of the middle class if the concept of "free" information keeps to its current trajectory
Alan Casty tackles the often frustrating paradoxes of a man whose fundamentally American films possess a darkness that reveal the complex ideology of their volatile director.
Director Miguel Arteta takes a look-a close look-at Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy to find out what makes it tick.
Written by the producer of The Graduate, So You Want To Be provides anecdotes while establishing the producer's function as one who starts the ball rolling and keeps it rolling.

The story of more than 250 children forced to move from London to work at Burley-in-Wharfedale mills is told in a new book published this week.
The child labourers, some as young as seven, were employed at Greenholme Mills at the start of the 19th century as 'pauper apprentices'.
And now, new information has been unearthed about the children and features in Greenholme Mills Remembered Again, by Burley historian Dennis Warwick.
Medical records show how a total of 260 paupers were working as apprentices at the mills in 1802.
"It was common practice at the start of the 19th century for paupers to be shipped all over the country to work in mills," said Mr Warwick.
"In its early days, Greenholme Mills struggled to find adult workers because many feared they would be targeted by Luddites, a movement that had turned to violence to resist the industrial revolution, then sweeping the country.
"By all accounts, the children who were sent to Burley-in-Wharfedale were reasonably well looked after in comparison to others elsewhere in Britain," he said.
The book goes back to 1792 when Greenholme Mills was founded and Jonas Whitaker and Partners first harnessed the power of the River Wharfe for cotton production.
Goits or water channels fed the water to two five-storey mills at Greenholme.
Originally they produced cotton cloth, but after 1850 they produced worsted and woollen goods and became famous for blue serge, a fine quality cloth, which was used for making uniforms for the British Army, the Royal Navy, various police forces and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The mills went into decline after the Second World War as cheap imports undermined their profitability.
They finally closed in 1966 following an arson attack, although they reopened under new owners as a trading estate for small businesses.
Today, several small businesses operate from the Mills and a new hydro-electric turbine is currently being installed on the site of the original cotton mill which, on completion, is expected to generate enough electricity to power up to 300 homes.
Mr Warwick's book updates a collaboration called Greenholme Mills Remembered, published in 1988 with his late wife Margaret, and uses fresh details uncovered by Katrina Honeyman, a professor of history at Leeds University.
The original book took in the history of the Mills from around 1850 when William Fison and WE Forster (after whom Forster Square in Bradford is named) took over the business.
Mrs Warwick did much of the work for the updated version of the book prior to her death in May.
The book will be launched at Burley Library on Saturday, from 9am, with proceeds going to the Marie Curie Hospice in Bradford.
The book is published by the Burley Local History Group and will be on sale from Burley Library, Burley Post Office and The Grove Bookshop in Ilkley, costing £5.

November 26, 2007
With Democrats controlling the majority of the nation's wealthiest congressional jurisdictions, the reality is that, in America, the Democratic party is the new "party of the rich," says Michael Franc, vice president of government relations for the Heritage Foundation.
- More than half of the wealthiest households in the United States are concentrated in the 18 states where Democrats control both Senate seats.
- For example, Nancy Pelosi, Democratic leader of the House of Representatives, represents one of America's wealthiest regions (San Francisco) with more than 43,700 high-end households.
- Fewer than 7,000 households in the western Ohio district of House Republican leader John Boehner enjoy this level of affluence.
The next rung of House leadership shows the same pattern:
- Democratic majority leader Steny Hoyer's district (between Washington, DC, and Annapolis) boasts almost 19,000 wealthy households and a median income topping $62,000.
- Hoyer's counterpart, minority whip Roy Blunt, hails from a rural Missouri district that has only 5,200 wealthy households and whose median income is only $33,000.
In addition, Democratic politicians prosper in areas of concentrated wealth even in staunchly Republican states:
- Liberal congressman John Lewis represents more than 27,500 high-income households in his Atlanta district.
- In Iowa, the three wealthiest districts send Democrats to Washington; the two poorest are safe Republican seats.

How much memory is in the system running m0n0wall?
I have seen this in a few cases, and in every case it has been some sort of DoS attack, usually from
inside the network. It is very unusual to exhaust memory buffers under normal conditions.
Essentially the m0n0wall is trying to store traffic locally before forwarding it to its destination,
but it is having too much traffic sent to it and it does not have memory to store it all before
sending it off.
Check network activity, start unplugging ports on the switch if you need to, it can be a pain to
chase these down. While it could be something entirely different, like I said all my cases have
involved some infected PC on the network sending out SPAM mail or other bad traffic at very high
For what its worth, traffic shaper has always been uselessl to me in these situations.

The Minerals Council of Australia will use a new report showing the resources industry spent more than $34 billion on community infrastructure and local suppliers in the 2011 financial year to spearhead its argument for the minerals resource rent tax (MRRT) to be repealed. Legislation was introduced to the House of Representatives last week by Treasurer
The report, commissioned by the Minerals Council and prepared by corporate social responsibility consultants Banarra, found the amount spent on local communities by resources companies was far more than projected returns of the MRRT and the industry's company tax and royalty payments in the 2011 fiscal year, which Deloitte Access Economics estimated at $21 billion.
The largest proportion relates to expenditure on local suppliers and contractors, followed by indigenous contracting, which includes their services in rehabilitation, catering and land management, according to the study.
The MRRT is an additional tax on profits from iron ore and coal mining in Australia, which came into effect on July 1, 2012. The best way to ensure a substantial social return from Australia's resources sector is to ensure it remains "globally competitive and continues to expand" argues the Minerals Council.
"A third layer of taxation on the minerals sector in the form of the MRRT takes Australia in the opposite direction. It undermines our competitiveness and acts as a disincentive to invest in Australia coal and iron ore projects," the Minerals Council said in a statement.
"The size of the contribution also conclusively demolishes the suggestion that prior to the introduction of the MRRT, Australians were not getting a 'fair share' of the mining boom."
The Australian Financial Review reported in October that Rio was unlikely to make an MRRT payment for the September quarter despite a stronger than forecast iron ore price. Rio and its joint venture partners are believed to have made a payment in the March quarter but received a full refund following an assessment by the Tax Office.
The MRRT has attracted $126 million from resources companies as at the second quarter of this year.

For Classroom Use?
By Headmaster
from Charlotte, NC
These were purchased for use in school classrooms. We wanted something inexpensive, large enough for students to see from a distance, and durable enough to last at least three years. These wall maps fit the bill on the first two, and are acceptable (but not great) on durability. While the paper is a decent quality, over time the corners inevitably tear from the wall tacks. Still, I have purchased these for other classrooms, and use scotch tape to reinforce the corners, and repair any rips. The maps will not last forever, but for our purposes, they have served us well.

Great Buy!
By Children for Jesus
from Cheyenne, WY
I sponsor children from Compassion International, and I hang their pictures on the map so I can see them on a regular basis and pray for them! Also wanted it so I could mark all of the countries that I pray for and maintain a world vision!

Reasonable Value for the Price
We bought this wall map for a classroom at our school. For the price, it serves its purpose well. It is not laminated, and the paper is easily torn (reinforced corners would be great). These will not stand up to the test of time, especially if they are moved around, or in a place where students walk by. Still, we bought a 2nd one this year, because of the overall value.

Family History Trippin'

(Thomas MacEntee's Book)
Dedicated to gravestone research and photography, personal family history, technology and research ideas. Guided by my inner light, I strive to help others enjoy their ancestors. Charter Member of the Gravestone Rabbits.

The information presented in Thomas's book about preparing for a family history research trip gave me the idea about locating a present day map of the area. It paid off. I would not have noticed this road as it is set in from another road. As Steve drove, Diane and I were looking at the GPS on our phones to see where the intersection of the roads led us. He opened the window and she took this snap of the granite town marker (for Framingham) and the street sign.
I am going to write a short review of Thomas's ebook later this week. It really gave me focus for this local adventure.

Instead, Google will attempt to make a direct peer-to-peer connection between the users who are calling each other. This would be a more efficient way to make the connection and should lead to better audio and video quality, according to Google. Users are being told of the new feature with a notification when attempting to make a call, but as per usual, the feature is rolling out slowly.
Google does warn users that the direct P2P connection will result in revealing the IP addresses of each party involved. This could be a privacy risk, because it is possible to figure out an approximate location based on someone's IP address. It doesn't seem as yet that Google has a way for users to turn of the P2P connection option in order to avoid revealing their IP, but if privacy advocates yell loud enough, we wouldn't be surprised to see Google add it.
Reports have seen the new P2P connections being made for Android users, but there haven't been reports of iOS users seeing the same notice.

- Description
- David Belfield, also known as Hassan Abdulrahman, is on the FBI's most wanted list for the 1980 killing of an Iranian diplomat. Acclaimed filmmaker Jean-Daniel Lafond interviews Belfield, who has been living as a fugitive in Iran for the past 25 years. Belfield is an African-American whose hatred for the U.S. government began during the Black Power movement and the rise of Islam in the 1970s. He speaks about what drove him to commit murder in the name of a revolution and the personal consequences of his actions. We learn about the effect of the assassination on the victim's family, as well as Belfield's own. His story exposes a theory that following the overthrow of the Shah of Iran's regime, the Carter and Reagan administrations secretly dealt with the Iranian government. So is Belfield a terrorist or merely a pawn used by both sides in the US/Iran conflict? Lafond has expertly crafted a riveting documentary that explores a web of international intrigue and state-sponsored violence behind an American fugitive.

Montreal (AFP) Dec 28, 2012
Residents of Montreal and other cities in Quebec province armed with shovels dug themselves out Friday after parts of Canada witnessed their heaviest snowfalls for at least four decades.
Some towns in the province reported almost two feet (60 centimeters) of snow. Almost 18 inches (45 centimeters) fell in Montreal, surpassing all previous dumps dating back to 1971.
Officials expected it to take up to four days for workers and snow plows to clear the streets in Montreal, where dozens of flights were canceled and several more suffered delays.
In the United States, more than 3,000 flights have been canceled since Christmas Day including almost 750 on Thursday, as a winter storm killed more than a dozen people and snarled holiday travel across the northeast.

Brazilian, Polish producers team for Ziembinski documentary
Brazil and Poland will be co-production partners on Ziembinski, a documentary about the Polish director and actor regarded as one of the founders of the modern Brazilian theatre in the 1940s. The Warsaw-based production company Kalejdoskop will team up with Plateau Producoes and Urszula Groska Producoes, both from Sao Paulo, to recreate the life of Zimba, as Zbigniew Marian Ziembinski was called in Brazil. If he were alive today, 2008 would mark the 100th anniversary of his birth.

Regrets are for people other than Illinois coach Tim Beckman.
With his team preparing to face Penn State this Saturday, Beckman expressed no remorse for having recruiting Nittany Lions players after NCAA sanctions were handed down to Penn State this summer.
Illini assistants were dispatched to State College in an attempt to lure players that could transfer to other schools without restriction due to the penalties.
It led to an uncomfortable situation for the Big Ten schools when Nittany Lions coach Bill O'Brien ran into the Illinois coaches while at the airport.
Beckman says he followed NCAA rules and the actions were at the request of a Penn State player.
"Again, I stated what we believed in, what the NCAA allowed us to do. We
were contacted previously, prior to any of this stuff happening, by a
young man," Beckman said. "We pursued it; we did not go and chase him."
He then added that overtures were made to multiple Nittany Lions players.
"We told them that we would be off-campus and if they'd like to, they could, and if they didn't like to, then we wouldn't pursue them any further," Beckman said.
The pitch worked for one player. Offensive lineman Ryan Nowicki transferred and is a backup for the Illini.
Beckman said he spoke with O'Brien at the Big Ten's media days, but it doesn't seem to have changed the frosty relationships between the coaches.
"Uh, I think I met him at the Big Ten media days," O'Brien said. "That's about it."
Yeah, it's going to be a emotional game in Champaign. Count on it.

Final Fling came off the rail in the home stretch to overtake Grace Anatomy en route to an upset win in the $108,900 Santa Ysabel Stakes (gr. III) (VIDEO) at Santa Anita Jan. 13. Odds-on favorite Turn Away was pulled out of the race on the final turn.
Jockey Joe Talamo enjoyed a golden trip aboard the Jeff Mullins trainee, guiding the California-bred daughter of Bertrando to a 1 1/4-length victory in the 1 1/16-mile event for 3-year-old fillies. Michael House's bay filly, a maiden winner over state breds at Hollywood Park Dec. 21, raced beyond seven furlongs for the first time in her four-race career.
Grace Anatomy was a clear second by nearly four lengths, with pacesetting Kazamira third. The Santa Ysabel was originally scheduled for Jan. 5 but was rescheduled when Santa Anita canceled racing during a three-day period due to unsafe track conditions.
Juddmonte Farm's Turn Away, the 3-5 favorite in a field of six, was eased in the stretch but finished the race for jockey Rafael Bejarano. She did not return to be unsaddled and was vanned off the track. Stewards reported that the Empire Maker filly was slightly off in her right hind and was returned to trainer Bobby Frankel's barn at Santa Anita.
Final Fling, a $100,000 Barretts purchase as a 2-year-old in May, broke her maiden by a head last time out as a heavy favorite, but Mullins said it was a mistake.
"We got our signals crossed," he said, explaining that they wanted to run in a state-bred stakes race but could not get out of the maiden race. "Actually, the timing for this race when it came up was a little too quick, but with the cancellation of races, it gave her a little more time and we got another work in her at Hollywood. We knew what we had. She's awesome."
Talamo has enjoyed a pretty good week. He broke out of a slump with his seventh win of the week, celebrated his 18th birthday Jan. 12, and had a hole-in-one playing golf.
"So far, so good," he deadpanned.
Talking about Final Fling, Talamo said, "This filly is push button, everything a jockey wants in a horse. When we turned for home, I just let her do her thing. Jeff has been very patient with her, and he's turned her around from being a sprint filly to what you saw today."
Kazamira, ridden by Mike Smith, gained the lead shortly after the break, quickly opening up a 1 1/2-length advantage over Grace Anatomy and Turn Away, who raced three wide down the backstretch. Fractions were realistic, considering how fast the Santa Anita Cushion Track has been playing -- :23 2/5, :47 and 1:11 -- before Kazamira gave way in the stretch. Grace Anatomy, ridden by Garrett Gomez took over mid-stretch. But Final Fling, saving ground all the way when shifted to the inside shortly after the start, angled out and responded to urging to gain the lead close to home. The final time was 1:41.96.
Final Fling earned $65,340 for her second win. She has banked $104,814. William R. Peeples bred the bay filly. She is out of the Java Gold mare Lily La Belle.
Sent off as the second longest shot in the field, Final Fling paid $23.40, $8, and $8.20 and topped a $2 exacta worth $113.80. Grace Anatomy, in her best effort since running third in Keeneland's Alcibiades (gr. I) last fall, returned $5.80 and $7. Kazamira, facing winners for the first time, was $8 to show.
Rareville, Initiation, and Turn Away trailed.

Aarti Mallya - Supervisor of Instruction
201-358-7020 x 22040
The Science Curriculum in the
The curriculum is designed to satisfy the needs of all science students by exceeding the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. The state of New Jersey requires the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are implemented in grades 9-12 in beginning in September of 2016. The NGSS were developed by teachers, scientists, and leaders in science and science education from around the country; they focus on the big ideas in science and emphasizes the common practices that scientists use every day, such as planning investigations, developing models, and designing solutions. The NGSS encourage students to learn the processes of science in a deep, meaningful way through first hand investigative experiences, instead of just memorizing facts for a test. This scientific way of thinking will ensure that the concepts children learn in school will stay with them not just for a day, a week, or a year—but for a lifetime. For more information about the NGSS, please use this link: http://www.nsta.org/docs/NGSSParentGuide.pdf
The Science Department is continually striving to be on the cutting edge of science instruction. If you are a community member, scientist, engineer, researcher or other person involved with science who would be interested in speaking and sharing your experiences with our students, please contact the Supervisor of Science. If you are a parent seeking information or clarification regarding your son or daughter's science class or their performance in that class, please contact the teacher prior to contacting the supervisor of instruction. Together we can continue to graduate scientifically literate and articulate students.

Ellen DeGeneres Goes Goldilocks for Beats Music Super Bowl Spot
She's well-known for her dancing prowess, and Ellen DeGeneres cuts a rug in the new Super Bowl commercial for the Beats Music mobile app.
During "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday (January 30), the quirky comedienne unveiled the clip and even gave out free smartphones to her audience so they could try the new service themselves.
In the spot, Ellen plays the role of Goldilocks who can't quite find the right music for her one-woman dance party, so she turns to Beats Music.
DeGeneres shared, "I had so much fun shooting the commercial. And you're really not supposed to see it until the Super Bowl, but it's my birthday [week] and my show, so I get to do what I want."

I preached this Maundy Thursday sermon at the noontime worship service at Fourth Presbyterian Church today. The scripture readings were Luke 22:14-19 and John 13:3-17.
As we gather today to remember Jesus' final meal with his disciples, the meal which is the origin of our central Christian practice of Communion (or the Lord's Supper), I need to make a confession. Years ago I took some liberties with the standard language most Presbyterian pastors use when inviting people to the table.
At some point in the Communion liturgy, it's common for Presbyterians to note that we practice an open Communion. This means that all Christians, regardless of one's particular tradition or church membership, are welcome to join us in celebrating the Lord's Supper. By contrast, churches that practice a closed Communion—like the Roman Catholic Church—require that you be a member of that denomination in order to share in Communion.
In my experience, when Presbyterians issue this invitation to our open Communion, they say something like this: "All who have faith in Jesus Christ are welcome at this table." The emphasis is on all. It is meant to be expansive and inclusive.
But I don't think it's expansive and inclusive enough. To my ears, this still limits who is welcome to come to the table because it establishes faith in Christ as the criterion for joining in the Lord's Supper. Whether it's the intention or not, this language implies that you need to have your faith figured out before you can partake of this sacred meal.
Yet what about people who are struggling with their faith? What about people overcome with doubt or fear or anger at God? What about people who have lost their faith? What about people who have not yet come to faith? Is there no place for them at the table of the Lord?
So years ago I made a subtle shift in language and started to say say this: "All who have or who seek faith in God in the way of Christ are welcome to this table." It acknowledges that some people who feel drawn to the table may not have it all figured out yet. They may be wavering in faith. They may be wracked with guilt. But they are seeking an encounter with Christ nonetheless. They want to experience God's presence. If we are going to call what we do an open Communion, I believe the table should truly be open for all of God's children.
You may know that there was a time when Presbyterians did in fact practice a closed Communion. In fact, it was John Calvin's idea. In his mind, the sanctity of Communion needed to be protected. So only those who were instructed in the Reformed faith could participate in the Lord's Supper. He suggested that tokens be used as proof of this instruction. Only someone with a Communion token was welcomed at the table.
By 1560, Huguenots in France and Presbyterians in Scotland were putting this into practice and it was an established part of Presbyterianism when it came to colonial America. In fact, in those colonial congregations Communion was only celebrated once or twice a year. Before these services, which resembled camp meetings or revivals, pastors and ruling elders would examine members to test their understanding of theology, personal piety, and moral behavior. Only those who passed this examination were given tokens and allowed to take Communion. (Read more here.)
In some respects this was similar to the practices of the church in the first centuries of Christianity. They believed Communion was a mystery that required preparation and initiation. Our practice of Lent originated in the practice of training new members in faith, culminating in baptism at the Easter Vigil. Only after these rites of initiation were members allowed to share in the Lord's Supper.
Even in recent memory it was the case that some Presbyterians did not allow children to take Communion until they were of a certain age or had been confirmed. Again, the idea is that coming to the table requires faith and understanding.
But by these standards, not a single one of Jesus' disciples would have been welcomed to the table for his final meal. It is clear that none of them really understood what he meant by servant leadership or his radical vision of God's kingdom. One of them would betray him. The rest would deny him and flee in fear when things came crashing down. Not a single one of them would pass the test of faith and trust.
Yet Jesus welcomed them with open arms. He set a place for them at his table. He accepted them as they were and challenged them to be better. He even called the one who would betray him his friend. Even though each of them would utterly fail him, he washed their feet. There were no conditions for their participation in this meal other than his deep and profound love for them. Without condition. Without qualification. Without examination. Without a token. Without any limitation.
A few years ago there was a fascinating debate about Communion among the leadership of this church. It was prompted when Hardy Kim and I requested the session's approval to do a Communion service while tailgating before a Bears game. The idea came to me during the previous football season when I met a group of pastors at Soldier Field for a mid-afternoon football game one cold November Sunday. As we stood around a table in the parking lot eating and drinking before entering a temple with its own particular rituals and chants, it struck me that there are a lot of similarities between what we do there and what we do here, where on a regular basis we stand around a table to eat and drink. And because I believe that God is present everywhere, not just in church building, it seemed like staging a tailgate Communion service could be very meaningful.
Not everyone around here agreed. There were thoughtful and faithful arguments made that bringing the Lord's Supper into a place of gluttony, drunkenness, and violence would profane the sanctity of Communion. There were legitimate concerns that it wouldn't be decent and in order. After all, most of our Communion services here are quite proper and reverent. In fact, our poor ushers and Communion servers experience an immense amount of anxiety every time we serve Communion on Sunday morning because they want everything to be perfect.
I think Jesus has a word for us: "Chill out!" This is, after all, the joyful feast of the people of God. And, thanks be to God, the way we celebrate Communion has only a superficial impact on its holiness. What makes Communion sacred is not us but the presence of God.
Yet loosening up our attitudes toward the Lord's Supper was not my primary motivation for tailgate Communion. It had much more to do with an evangelistic impulse to let the thousands of people who worship in that temple on Sunday know that God is there, too, even in the midst of the gluttony, drunkenness, and violence of that place. It was a way to proclaim, along with the Psalmist, that there is nowhere we can go that is beyond the presence of God. We didn't wash any feet, but we bore witness to the love of Christ that knows no bounds.
Among the many ways the church communicates the love of God in Christ to the world, few if any are more profound than the Lord's Supper. It is in this meal that we reenact the selfless love of Christ in bread that is broken and a cup that is poured out. It is in this meal that we can touch and smell and taste and see that God is good. It is in this meal that we are fed with God's very presence and we ourselves become the body of Christ in the world. And in the Presbyterian tradition, every time we share this meal we tell our story.
In the last decade, one of the most important books on faith has been Kenda Creasy Dean's Almost Christian. It is based on the most comprehensive study of youth and religion that has ever been done. But it's not just a book about youth ministry, because Dean rightly points out that we see—or don't see—in the faith of our youth is a direct reflection of the church as a whole. And as her title suggests, what we see is not always very hopeful.
She suggests that an essential element of faith formation for youth—and adults—is the ability to know, understand, and articulate the creed of one's faith community. But more than a statement of faith to be memorized and recited by rote, what Dean really means is that we need to be able to tell the God-story of our faith.
Perhaps you haven't thought of it this way, but this is exactly what we do every time we follow the traditional pattern of the Great Thanksgiving in our Communion liturgies. This ancient pattern of prayer recounts the biblical story from creation through Christ and then brings that story into the present lives of those sharing this sacred meal. The Word becomes flesh, flesh becomes bread, bread that is broken and given for us.
In a world overloaded with information and a church far too concerned with words, the Lord's Supper is the proclamation of the gospel in its most elemental form. Why would we ever keep someone away from the table? Why would we ever discourage someone from tasting the goodness of God? Why would we ever make someone feel that they have to have it all figured out before seeking God in this bread and this cup? Why aren't we sharing this meal more often, and why aren't we bringing it out into a world starving for love, meaning, and hope?
Friends, we aren't perfect. We don't have it all figured out. We're failures and doubters and sinners. But so were the twelve who long ago sat at the table from which boundless love flowed. There they were shown the wondrous love of God and the power of selfless service. There they were invited, against all odds, to go and do likewise. And so are we.
All who have or who seek faith in God in the way of Christ are welcome to this table.
