In short "Trust us! We won't break the law!" Famous last words from government ...
This is just ripe for abuse. It's one thing with a warrant. It's another just to do it whole sale.
Orwell did have Big Brother starting in London. Sadly, it looks like he's only about 25-30 years late in his predictions.

Earlier, director KM Chaitanya has done the movie Aa Dinagalu on the theme of transformation. Now, he is back with another movie on the same concept, but with different and fresh story. The movie Suryakaanti runs through many twists and turns and Chaitanya ends it successfully with justifying all the characters.
Suryakaanti is a commercial movie made on the story of an international contract killer. The highlights of the movie are Chetan Kumar's energetic performance, Maestro Ilayaraja's music, Aa Dinagalu fame HC Venu's camera work and Narayana Swamy's fresh story.
Director KM Chaitanya has got excellent script for the movie Suryakaanti. He has tight grip on the narration and his apt placement of songs, fights and other sequences help him in maintaining the tempo and creating the curiosity among the audience. When compared to his previous movie Aa Dinagalu, he has added a lot of commercial elements in the film Suryakaanti.
The film Suryakaanti begins with curiosity about a murder plot and the director has tried to develope love between Rohith alias Surya and Kaanti besides the murder plot. When the audience are about to feel that the movie is moving in some other direction, the director ends the first half with another curiosity by unravelling the victim's identity of murder plot. This makes the audience tighten their seat belts in the second half, which becomes very serious.
Rohith (Chetan Kumar) is an international contract killer, who sets out from Uzbekistan on a mission to kill a person in Bangalore. His mistaken identity forces him to become his look alike Surya. Ultimately, he becomes the CEO of the Saheb group of Industries and gets engaged to owner Appa Saheb's (Ramakrishna) daughter Kaanti (Regina Cassandra). His internal turmoil about whether to pursue his duty or follow his heart will form the rest of the story and it should be watched on-screen.
Chetan Kumar rocks the audiences with his action-packed performance. Meanwhile, he also steals the heart of girls by stripping of his shirt and showing off his macho-man body on many occasions. Regina Cassandra has played a decent role and she excels in it. As Kaanti's grandfather, Tamil actor Nasser and Enagi Nataraj as his assistant win the heart of the viewers with their comedy. Ramkrishna, Kishori Ballal, Asif and Bollywood actor Ganesh Yadav are also best in their respective roles.
Besides good story and performance, the film Suryakaanti has rich technical values too. Ilayaraja has composed music for six songs, which are soothing. Especially songs like 'Swalpa Soundu Jasti Maadu...', pathos songs 'Edeya Bagilu...' and 'Mauni Naanu...' will echo in the minds of audience even after they are out of theatre. HC Venu's Cameraman is also worth commendable. He has captured the beautiful locations of Uzbekistan, Uttaranchal, Belgaum, Goa and Karwar in couple of songs and other sequences. Ravivarma's four fight sequences are also wonderful.
Finally, the movie is not out of loopholes. The director should have dropped a few unnecessary characters and given more scope to Enagi Nataraj and Appa Saheb's roles. Secondly, 75% of the movie has been shot in Belgaum but it lacks nativity. If KM Chaitanya had used more of Belgaum dialect, he would have created more comedy. He seems to have failed in establishing the transformation theme and background music is nil which could have helped him making the movie even more interest. The movie does not have dance numbers.
In a nutshell, the movie Suryakaanti has original and interesting story and director has put in lot of effort to breathe life in it. It can be watched and enjoyed once. Girls don't miss to watch shirtless Chetan.
Producer: Sujata BN
Director: KM Chaitanya
Cast: Chetan Kumar, Regina Cassandra, Nasser, Ganesh Yadav, Ramkrishna, Kishori Ballal Enagi Nataraj and Asif
Music: Ilayaraja

Get on the road with Roadtrippers
We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
Fort Yamhill was built in the mid-1800s to regulate the eastern border of the Grand Ronde Agency Coastal Reservation, and represents a difficult time for the people of the region. Besides birding interest, a visit offers a glimpse into life in the 1850s and 1860s. A 0.5 mi hiking trail winds through Douglas-fir forest edge and open, hilly meadow. In spring and summer listen for Warbling and Cassin's Vireos and Swainson's Thrush. Watch for Violet-green and Tree Swallows, Western Tanager, and a variety of warblers including Black-throated Gray, Orange-crowned, and Wilson's Warblers. Year-round look for Hutton's Vireo, Black-capped and Chestnut- backed Chickadees, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, Bushtit, and Bewick's and Winter Wrens.
From Hwy 18, go N at Valley Junction on Hwy 22 (Hebo Rd) 1 mi, to the Fort Yamhill State Park sign. Turn E and follow for 0.6 mi, through the Grand Ronde Tribal Pow Wow grounds, to the parking lot.

The Most Pointless Valet Service in Orange County: Geisha House
Geisha House in SanTana's cursed CityPlace development just opened, and I haven't stopped by to try the place so can't comment on the food. I can, however, offer an opinion on its valet service: pointless.
It's one thing to offer valet service in urban areas where parking is scarce or in vast lots, but that problem doesn't exist at CityPlace: The parking lot, from end to end, takes no more than three minutes if you walk on game ankles and trick knees. And it's not like CityPlace is slammed with business, either: even with Mother's Market and McCormick & Schmidt's as anchors, one can find parking at any time--and good spots at that.
So, why the valet service? From its website and big pictures of those infantile Japanese wome that Gwen Stefani so idolizes outside its structure, it's apparent Geisha House sees itself as a scenester restaurant and not one trying to compete with the Kappo Suzumarus and Honda Yas of the world. I might try out the fool, but in the meanwhile can safely say that anyone who pays $5 for the valet service deserved to get ripped off for their stupidity.
Geisha House, 2773 N. Main St., Santa Ana, (714) 564-0350. Click here for a newsier take on CityPlace!

Gingersnap Date Bar (Lärabar Wannabe)
Be the first to review
READY IN: 15mins
Recipe by DoubletheGarlic
I'm a big fan of Lärabars, esp. the "Ginger Snap". I think this copy-cat experiment has been a success! I went for taste vs. texture for the sake of my gummy one-year old (who is also a big fan of Lärabars!), so almond paste was substituted for minced almonds/pecans. Enjoy!
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb pitted dates
- 1⁄2 lb almond paste
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons ginger powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves, heaped
Directions See How It's Made
- Using a food mill, grind the dates.
- In a heavy-duty mixer, combine the ground dates with the remaining ingredients (I used my Bosch and its "cookie dough" hooks).
- On a cutting board or other clean, flat surface, flatten the mixture to about 1 cm using your hand or a rolling pin.
- Cut into bars or roll into balls and enjoy!

Hypermiling the 2013 RX 350 = 40ish mpg
Hi guys!
i got a little bit bored this 3 day weekend,
so i have decided to do what my " Prius" friends are doing with their cars. Hypermile.
Basically, they put a lot of air on their Low Rolling Resistance Tires for better mpgs.
most do 45, while i know some who puts 60psi.
Hmm.. so let's test that on a 2013 RX 350 running on regular unleaded 87 octane ( Costco gas) with OEM tires ( Dunlop Grandtek) and 19 inch rims.
every gauge was reset to ZERO
trip A
average mpg
average speed:D
here's my baseline: i do 85% highway and 15 % city driving.
and here's what happened after putting 38psi ( too scared to do 40)
and nearing the end of my commute
and at here's the final
Disclaimer: i don't recommend this practice at all.
Overinflating the tires can give you a lot of mpgs but it can be unsafe
Although, aside from a bumpier ride, i didn't feel any difference in the drive.
Could've just watched Mythbusters and come to same conclusion.
Props for experimenting though.
if it ever warms up here,(7 degrees right now), and once I get the annoying dash rattle fixed,(only 250 miles, and until it warms up, no use asking the dealer to fix it), I plan on putting 40lbs in my tires, and see what I get. I put 45 in my 2008rh, and got 30mpg on a regular basis..I find it hard to believe you are getting those kinds of MPG's doing 60+mph...
^^^ yeah, agree, hard to believe the 40 mpg. :uh: It's tough not to be skeptical since one can expect a 5-10% increase but not 35%.
By any chance, was your 27.5 mile a round trip on the same route? For instance, there could have been a slight downward grade as well as a backwind in the direction the tests were run favoring the the results, but if you went back on the same route, it would average out.
BTW, thanks for sharing and if anything, some of us will test this out over the next few days - I will. :thumbup:
Exceeding past the manufacturer's max load cold tire pressure recommendation will lead to a smaller contact patch with excessive wear in the center of your tire . It will affect handling characteristics and braking distance which is unsafe. You're compounding the risk of a blowout being in a heavy SUV.
Not worth the risk to the safety of yourself, passengers and others on the road, just to save on a few gallons of gas IMO.
Is your car All Wheel Drive, or just Front Wheel? That will also impact mileage.
Experiment was done here in SoCal. 4:30am ( no traffic!)
I-5 and then I-405 on a 57 F temp ( as you can see on the dash).
it's 85% highway and 15% city driving.
this is my route to work approx. 27 miles one way ( from my garage to the parking lot)
it WASN"T a round trip drive.
cruise control was ON at 70mph.
i change lanes every now and then, hence the 70+ mph on the picture.
the baseline was done on the same route BUT at 72F and 34psi a few weeks ago.
Believe you'd still have to exceed the tire manfacturer rating pretty far to see a significantly smaller contact patch. Todays tires stiffen the sidewalls (versus bubble out days of old). Agree the blowout risk increases significantly, but I think handling and braking wouldn't be affected too much with todays tires. Ride quality would be horrible though. Agree that none of it is worth it though. Especially in a city like NY with our huge potholes.
My RXh is only doing 24 UK mpg at the moment
Would have been great to see the psi numbers associated with the picture you posted.
I absolutely agree with you regarding maxing out tire pressure in the tri-state area. Too many potholes and road imperfections from the constant freezing and thawing here.
I've never been led astray to used the recommended inflation pressures found in the manual. I often get very good tire life and even wear patches unless i'm late to realize an alignment problem.
lol that was a recent sinkhole as an extreme, but here are a couple of doozy potholes:
Supposedly every dot on this map represents a pothole that has been filled.
Ummm and that's just for one winter's month.

UK poker pro Chris Moorman amongst WPT Vienna leaders
Day 2 of the World Poker Tour Vienna Main Event is in the books, and with just 66 players remaining in the field there are a slew of top young players amongst the chip-leaders looking to make a splash in a WPT championship event. Perhaps the biggest name of all is the player sitting second on the leader-board, Lock Poker pro Chris Moorman, but in addition to Moorman online legends Tristan "Cre8ive" Wade and Ben "neverscaredB" Wilinofsky are also in the top 10 in the leader-board.
179 players started Day 2 of the WPT Vienna Main Event, and the bust-outs came fast and furious, and lasted all day. Unfortunately 21 of the players that will take their seats for Day 3 on Friday will go home empty-handed as only 45 players will make the money in the tournament.
Moorman is considered one of the greatest tournament players in poker, with over $7.8 million in online tournament winnings throughout his career. In 2011 Moorman broke through in live tournament pokers, finishing second in the World Series of poker Europe Main Event as well as final tabling the Aussie Millions Main Event and finishing as one of the Player of the Series contenders at the WSOP.
Despite all of this, Moorman hasn't won a major live tournament thus far in his career; a win at the WPT Vienna would go a long way to cementing Moorman's legacy as one of the greatest tournament players of all-time –a lofty accomplishment for someone still in their 20's.
Here is a look at the Top 10 chip counts heading into Day 3 of the tournament:
1. Morten Christensen – 483,000
2. Chris Moorman – 411,500
3. Tristan Wade – 395,500
4. Darko Stojanovic – 354,000
5. Gerald Karlic – 353,500
6. Ben Wilinofsky – 350,500
7. Anthony Ghamrawi – 333,000
8. Jurgen Reicht – 332,000
9. Marius Pospiech – 322,000
10. Norbert Szecsi – 313,000
Quite a few other well-known players are also still in the running, which could make for a very aggressive bubble on Day 3, and could make for an even more intriguing final table this weekend. Here is a look at the other big names lurking a little further down the leader-board: Roberto Romanello (223,000 chips), Andrew Badecker (192,500 chips), David Vamplew (170,000 chips), Andre Akkari (163,500 chips), Eugene Katchalov (133,500 chips), Andy Frankenberger (115,500 chips), Yevgeniy Timoshenko (110,000 chips), Casey Kastle (96,500 chips), and Marvin Rettenmaier (73,500 chips).
Day 3 of the WPT Vienna Main Event will kick-off on Friday at 11:30 CET, with the players in Level 14; 1,200/2,400 blinds and a 400 chip ante.

FORMER Australian captain-coach and St George legend Ian Walsh has died, throwing the rugby league world into mourning.
Walsh, 80, who returned to his home town of Forbes a decade ago, died after a long illness.
He was a giant of the game in his playing days as the 1963 Test captain, leading Australia to its historic Ashes triumph against Great Britain in England with wins in the First Test 28-2 at Wembley, 50-12 in the second Test at Swinton before losing the third Test 16-5 at Leeds.
It was the first time an all Australian side had won the rugby league Ashes in England. The only previously successful Ashes-winning team was the 1911-12 side that included New Zealand players.
Walsh described he historic Ashes win as "the greatest moment of my rugby league life. We had finally done it."
Credited with establishing the template for modern day hookers of intelligent running from dummy half, Walsh joined St George from the bush in 1962, playing in five winning grand final sides in the club's record run of 11 successive premierships between 1956-66.
He was captain-coach of the 1966 side that won the grand final 23-4 against Balmain and the 1967 side that lost 12-11 to Canterbury in the final, ending St George's record run.
Walsh played 25 Tests between 1959-66, toured with the 1959-60 and 1963-64 Kangaroos and made two tours to New Zealand.
He was a strong contender for the Australian Rugby League team of the Century in 2008 and was named in the NSW Country Rugby League's Team of the Century.
He also coached Parramatta in 1971-72 and for more than a decade was a forthright and fearless rugby league columnist with The Daily Telegraph.
Team-mates and friends were mourning today when they learned of Walsh's passing.
"He was a great player and a great man. I toured with him in 1967 and played under him at St George," said Immortals fullback Graeme Langlands.
"It's a sad day for rugby league."
Former Test forward Noel Cleal and Walsh founded a strong friendship in recent years based on their rural upbringing.
"We both loved the bush. There was never a better man to go camping and fishing with than Ian.
"We talked a lot of football. He was a great companion and a great footballer."
Funeral details are yet to be announced.
* Saints will honour Walsh on Sunday with a minute's silence before kick-off against Newcastle at Kogarah. Dragons players will also wear black armbands for the match.
* Born in Bogan Gate, NSW, on March 20, 1933.
* Represented City, Country, NSW and Australia in rugby league.
* Played 25 Tests and 39 tour matches for Australia between 1959 and 1966.
* Captained Australia in 10 Test matches between 1963 and 1966, including on the 1963-64 Kangaroo Tour when he led the team to an historic Ashes win.
* Joined St George in 1962, playing in four grand final-winning teams in 1962, 1963, 1965 and 1966.
* He missed out on a grand final win in 1964 with a broken arm.
* He captain-coached St George in 1966-67 and Australia in 1966, a year in which he won the premiership with the Dragons and successfully defended the Ashes against Great Britain.
* Retired from playing in 1967.
* Coached Parramatta in 1971-72.
* Later became an outspoken commentator on the game with a regular column in The Daily Telegraph.
* Named among Australia's 100 Greatest Players by the NRL and ARL in 2008.

BAR HARBOR — Richard Longbow, a master bow maker and arrow smith who has immersed himself in the study of ancient humans and their tool, will be at the Jesup Memorial Library, 34 Mount Desert St., on Saturday, May 17 at 2 p.m. to discuss his book "Frozen in Time."
In it, he distills 20 years' worth of research into Otzi, a Neolithic-era human discovered in the Alps in 1991 who became known as the Iceman. "It is a book about the oldest CSI mystery ever to surface in the field of ancient studies," said Mr. Longbow.
Since Otzi was first found by hikers in Italy with an arrow buried in his back, there has been much research conducted on the body and the items found with it, and much debate among experts as to whether he fell where he died after being struck by an arrow, or was buried there by others.
Mr. Longbow brings his expertise in ancient weapons to examine the evidence. He will outline his research in his talk at the Jesup. Reproductions of some of the artifacts found with Otzi will be on display for the public to view and examine. After the talk, copies of the book will be available from the author for purchase and signing.
The author has lectured at universities including Dartmouth College, and at the Wilson Center for the Performing arts in Iowa. In 1995, he was the featured artist for Mountain Lake Public Television in Plattsburg, N.Y., and in 2004 and 2005, he demonstrated his archery skills at the Louis and Clark Bicentennial at the request of the State of Iowa. This fall, he will be lecturing at Connecticut College at the request anthropologist Dr. Manuel Lizzaralde about the primitive technologies of many cultures as well as the art of ancient bow making.
For more information about this event, contact Melinda Rice at the library at 207-288-4245 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

SMU's latest losing season was buried last night in a disappointing 16-point loss to a Central Florida team that it whipped by 22 in Dallas in January. With the loss in the first round of the Conference USA Tournament, the Mustangs finished 14-18. After years with 10 and 9 wins I guess you could call it progress, but in Doherty's four years the Ponies are a lethargic 47-75, including 17-48 in the conference.
There was a four-game winning streak in January and a signature win over Memphis, but despite Doherty's arrival the Mustangs are no closer to being on college basketball's map. SMU hasn't had a winning season since 2003 and hasn't beaten a Top 5 team since the days of Jon Koncak in 1985. Moody Coliseum is an empty dump. Doherty recruits Africa better than Dallas. And the $13 million Crum Center practice facility is so far a wasted investment.

Doherty demanded a 7-year contract because of the breadth of the rebuilding project on the Hilltop, but does athletic director Steve Orsini have the patience to see it through? The quick transformation performed by football coach June Jones - a bowl game victory in only his second season - won't help Doherty's case.
Neither will the fact that a basketball coach with a similar track record is lurking nearby, sniffing around for a job.

After turning UT-El Paso and Texas A&M into tournament programs he had a famous flameout at Kentucky. But he has recently moved to Dallas, is an expert at recruiting the Metroplex and at this point would feel like a needed injection of something different to a program that seems to be going nowhere fast.

Seal Island
Cape Fur Seals © markos
Take a trip to one of Cape Town's Seal Islands for some good sightings of these comical animals at play and rest. Although several tiny islands off the Cape coast are unofficially called 'Seal Island', the most well-known is probably Duiker Island, located just outside of Hout Bay. Boats leave regularly from the Hout Bay docks and take passengers on a trip outside the harbour and into the ocean, where breath-taking views can be enjoyed of Hout Bay and all the way across to Noordhoek, Chapman's Peak and Kommetjie. The boat stops just below the Hout Bay Sentinal where hundreds of Cape Fur Seals bask on the small island in the sun. The sight is a smelly, yet magical one and it is a treat to see these creatures in their natural habitat. Many of the boat tours use glass-bottomed boats which allow passengers to see the seals zipping about underwater.
The charming naval harbour of Simon's Town also has a small Seal Island and boat trips can usually be arranged from there as well. The Great White Sharks that frequent False Bay often lurk around the islands, which are naturally a sort of buffet for them, and sightings of these amazing creatures are also possible, although more rare. A variety of other sea creatures might be seen on these lovely boat trips and an excursion out into the sea is worthwhile even if you aren't visiting one of the islands.
Address: Hout Bay Harbour or Simon's Town Harbour.

It did not take long for the tabloid media to pronounce the marriage of Tiger Woods as being dead. Who knows, maybe the media is right and someday soon Tiger Woods wife will file for divorce from her cheating husband. So, if Tiger Woods and his wife do eventually split up - most people are asking, "how much money will Tiger Woods' wife get in a divorce"? The simple answer, according to many experts, is $300 million. Before everyone starts saying that Tiger Woods wife would be a fool not to divorce him simply because of the amount of money she would likely receive in a divorce settlement - let's all just settle down for a moment and look at this terrible story of a cheating husband in the same way that other people from Tiger Woods' income class might view it.
To regular people like you and me, money in the range of $300 million is something we cannot even comprehend. However, for the super rich - life is always about more than just the amount of money that is divided up in a divorce settlement and I would be surprise if Tiger Woods attitude and that of his wife are any different. In cases like this one, I always remember a line from one of my favorite movies of all time - "Forrest Gump", when he told us all that "mama said that people only need so much money to be happy, the rest of it is just for showing off". I have always remember that line and many others from that great movie and when I think about Tiger Woods and his wife - there is more than enough money for each of them to live comfortably for several lifetimes, whether they stay married or get divorced.
Right now, there has to be a big hole in the heart of Tiger Woods' wife. Soon, she will move to the anger stage - if she is not already there and then is when it is likely to be known if she will be able to forgive him for cheating on her with more than one other woman. A lady friend at work today said that she could not believe that Tiger Woods would cheat on his wife because she is so beautiful. I told this friend that it has been proven time and time again that the beauty of a spouse has little to do with whether or not their mate will have sexual relations outside the marriage. My personal gut feeling tells me that Tiger Woods' wife will not be able to forgive him, simple because she will never be able to completely trust him ever again.
What bothers me the most about the cheating ways of Tiger Woods is the fact that while his wife was at home bearing him two beautiful children, he was out sowing his wild oats with other women. This is the same way I felt when politician John Edwards cheated on his wife - while at the same time she was fight for her life against cancer. Sure it is always bad when either a man or a woman cheats on their spouse. However, for me and many others it just adds insult in injury when a mate commits adultery - while at the same time their spouse is fighting off a potentially life ending disease or what ended up being the case with Tiger Woods - cheating, while his own wife was pregnant with his two children. When you add up all of these marital betrayals, I just can't see Tiger Woods' wife wanting to repair their marriage and I expect her to file for divorce someday soon.

After her traumatizing encounter with the assassin, Joanna can't sleep. Doing shots of scotch in the Bowers' kitchen, she's startled by Rayburn, who offers some veiled advice to watch herself. Clearly, Joanna's cover is unraveling. Will visits Edward to show him the Lyritrol file - a document incriminating the family business in the accidental medical deaths of multiple children, which he got off Andrei's jump drive. Will wants Edward to testify against his father, but Edward has plans to join his family in California. When Will explains exactly how he got his hands on the file, the revelation trips Edward up so that he gives a conflicting report of his alibi for the night Vivian died. Now he's a suspect again.
Robert holds a distinctive locket that belonged to his first wife Catherine, then flashes back to watching her play with young Julian and Vivian. In the present, Sofia wants to know why Robert invited Joanna back to the house after she lost his $500,000 and failed the polygraph. Robert wants Joanna close, in hopes of getting to the bottom of her deception. Changing the conversation, Robert gives Sofia some nice earrings and reiterates his commitment to their upcoming anniversary party. The next day, an anxious Edward storms over to Julian's loft to discuss his earlier run-in with Will. On her way out, Audrey admits to knowing about the kids who died in the Lyritrol trials. Since he didn't mention the kids at the press conference, Edward immediately asks Julian whether he told Audrey. He claims he didn't...
Desperate to control the fallout from the Lyritrol file leak, Robert suspects Joanna when his lawyers inform him about the internal leak. The only people who had access to the server room where the file was stored were the internal IT team, Edward and Robert, but Robert has no idea where the server room is. Oddly, his ID was swiped there on the same day Edward downloaded the file. Robert calls Joanna into his office to interrogate her about the past. Joanna answers confidently, but stumbles when Robert asks about the date of her wedding - the one part of her cover story that is true. She eventually recovers, and Robert sends her away; but Joanna's seriously worried that he may be on to her.
Upset about his encounter with Audrey, a distraught Edward visits Will at the office. Audrey knows how many kids died - how does she know? Will tells him to go home and relax. Edward's over-thinking. Meanwhile, Mia's at the hospital taking the blood test to determine whether her bone marrow is a match to Haverstock's. Kyle is there to offer her support, but the tension in the room between him and Haverstock is palpable. He wants nothing to do with the situation, but Mia is still in the dark.
Outside the Bowers Pharmaceutical building, Julian bumps into Joanna. It's clear they still have chemistry, but Julian's new girlfriend Audrey looms in the distance by the car with disapproving eyes. Joanna wants to know if their relationship is real, but all Julian will say is, "Maybe." Moments later, Nichole accosts Joanna, remarking how clearly hot she and Julian are for each other. Nichole wants to help with Joanna's investigation and claims she has valuable information - like Haverstock has cancer. Nichole's convinced Robert had her friend Remy killed and wants to avenge his death. Furthermore, when Audrey attended Cornell, she was known as "Holita" because she slept with all her professors. Reminding Nichole that she's jeopardizing both their safety, Joanna tells her to get lost.
Joanna tells Will that Audrey went to college with Ben Preswick, but he already knows thanks to Edward, who won't shut up about it. Will has all his focus set on building the case against Robert Bowers and wants Joanna to stop getting distracted by Audrey... and Julian. When Will lays into Joanna for accepting a ride home from the hospital from Julian, she knows he's acting out of jealousy, again. Claiming he only wants to protect his asset, Will advises her to act normal with Robert and forget about Julian. Turning on her heel, Joanna says, "Screw you, Will" and leaves.
Haverstock calls Robert with news: Mia's bone marrow is a match, so he'll message over the consent forms. To which Robert says, "I'm delighted to tell you to go die." Now Robert's holding both the golf club and Mia's bone marrow and feeling surprised by Haverstock's naivete. The backstabbing stuns the senator. Back at the office, Joanna discovers both Audrey and Ben Preswick graduated from Cornell in 2001. They have to be linked. She makes up an excuse and takes the rest of the day off. Meanwhile, Edward ambushes Audrey while she's at lunch with Frank. Though Edward doesn't have any formative evidence yet, he has deduced that Frank is going to make a bid for Bowers Pharmaceuticals. After Edward leaves, Frank asks Audrey for assurance regarding their planned merger with Bowers. She promises she won't fail.
A little more investigation on Joanna's part confirms her suspicion that Ben Preswick and Audrey were friends at Cornell. She visits Ben's sister Mary, who confirms that she inherited a lot of money from Ben; neither one of them are aware that Rayburn is tailing Joanna. Rayburn reports back to Robert, who informs that he has Joanna's mother on a plane to New York at that very moment. Meanwhile, Haverstock threatens Sofia, promising to move Wyatt's parole up to Saturday, unless she signs the medical consent form for Mia. Sofia's up against a wall here - if she doesn't sign it, Wyatt will be out of jail in time for the Bowers' anniversary party. It's a clear choice: Mia's bone marrow in exchange for the sanctity of Sofia's marriage.
Robert tries his hardest to convince Mia not to go through with the transplant. Not knowing what to believe, she asks Robert if he killed Vivian, breaking his heart. Haverstock's life is at stake. Not only is he Mia's birth father, but wasn't he once Robert's best friend? Robert flashes back: Haverstock meets a grief-stricken Robert moments before Catherine's funeral. They'll say Catherine crashed the car because of her ALS and the children will never know - just the way she wanted it. Later, Sofia signs Mia's consent form behind Robert's back.
Joanna stops by Julian's to plant her suspicions about Audrey, but she doesn't make a solid impression before Audrey shows up. When Audrey accuses Joanna of sabotaging her relationship with Julian, Joanna asks why Audrey didn't show at Ben's funeral. Audrey claims she has no idea who Joanna's talking about. Just as the bone marrow transplant is about to get underway, Kyle decides he's had enough of being Haverstock's mole. He tells Mia not to go through with the procedure, then confesses Haverstock's blackmail. Devastated, Mia bolts out of the hospital and straight to her mother's arms.
When Joanna returns to the Bowers' house, she's shocked to see her mother Beverly sitting with Robert. Joanna soon realizes Robert's true intentions for flying Beverly in: he wants to uncover more information about Joanna's past. The conversation becomes tense as Joanna struggles to keep her mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's and dementia, from blowing her cover. Joanna spills a drink on her mother's lap, then rushed her out to her bedroom. Joanna begs Beverly to keep her mouth shut. Beverly begins to cry. She'll try her best, but with Alzheimer's it will be hard; and she doesn't like the situation at all.
Convinced he's being followed, a frantic Edward meets Will at a diner. He thinks Frank Drexler - the Kirschner-Sims version of his father Robert - is out to kill him. Audrey works for Frank, so Edward knows she's somehow involved as well. The revelation intrigues Will, but he's unconvinced since all the loose ends don't tie together. Why would Frank Drexler kill Vivian? Edward doesn't know, but he's got to keep moving and figure it out, or else he could be next. When Will advises Edward to go to California, he runs out of the diner.
On the day of the Bowers' anniversary party, Sofia gives Robert a passionate kiss, then proceeds to the Pennsylvania federal penitentiary to pay off a guard for a conjugal visit with Wyatt. As they passionately embrace, Sofia furtively slips a baggy of heroine into his back pocket. He's not getting out on parole any time soon.
At the anniversary party, Robert reads Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 while memories of Catherine loom large and Wyatt is caught with heroin in his pocket. Afterwards, the attendees head for the dining room. Joanna and Julian linger behind, and she lets him know she still has feelings for him. Audrey interrupts to call Julian to the dinner table, just as Will calls with a huge break. They traced a cell number from the Russian bakery pay phone to the Bowers house, and he's calling it now. It belongs to one of the party guests, and it's Joanna's job to find out who. With it goes the case. Julian pulls a phone out of his pocket... and hands it to Audrey, who excuses herself from the table to take the call, confirming Joanna's suspicions all along.
Haverstock calls Robert to a face-off in the Bowers' greenhouse during a thunderstorm. He's not sure why Robert's condemning him to death; could it be because he's the only living witness to Robert's first crime? Robert backpedals: that wasn't a crime; it was hell. He loved Catherine! But Haverstock points out Catherine's $2 billion came at the perfect time for Robert's company. Moreover, Vivian needed her father after Catherine's death, but she wound up crying on Haverstock's shoulder while Robert buried his grief between Sofia's thighs.
Later that night, Will stops by Edward's loft, admitting he's a little more open to his theory about Audrey. She was friends with Ben, and her phone called both Ben's assassin and Remy Colville, and the jump drive containing the Lyritrol file was found in Ben's assassin's car. Will thinks Audrey tried to trick Vivian into ruining Lyritrol. Maybe Vivian was supposed to be the pawn that brought down Robert, and Edward wound up finishing the job. Meanwhile, Audrey throws her cell phone into the Hudson. Back at the Bowers estate, Julian enters Joanna's room and passionately kisses her down onto the bed. He's made his choice.

Reliable information is critical to understanding food security trends, assessing crises and informing decision-making. However, traditional methods for collecting this information – in particular food security data at household level – are often expensive, slow and cumbersome, which limits its effective use for decision-making.
This case study looks at WFP's innovation into Mobile Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (mVAM), a programme that integrates mobile technology, including SMS, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and live calls, into WFP's established food security monitoring systems.
ALNAP and ELRHA are looking at 14 different examples of humanitarian innovation funded by ELRHA's Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) grants. Each case study will explore the dynamics of successful innovation processes, culminating in a unique and in-depth study on innovation in humanitarian action.

Corn futures gave back after its short-covering bounce on Tuesday morning. Price pressures were still due to the recent ideal corn growing weather in the U.S. Corn Belt. No deliveries and tight supply were a boost for the old crop prices. Although the weekly good-to-excellent corn condition gained only at 2% to 67%, it was a substantial improvement compared to 48% at this time last year. September corn futures prices skidded 3.75 cents to $5.2775 per bushel in Tuesday morning trading, while December corn descended 2.25 cents to $4.99 per bushel.
The soybean futures were mixed on Tuesday morning. With the recent great growing weather, USDA's Monday Crop Progress and Condition report held very few surprises for soybean traders. A steady improvement in soybean conditions to 67% good-excellent versus 65% last week met people's expectations. Tightness of old crops and no deliveries apparently buoyed the market. China planned to increase its oilseed imports due to anticipation of poor harvests that might trigger some buying as well. August soybean futures dipped 2 cents to $14.3425/bushel. August soyoil descended 0.27cents to 46.55 cents/pound, but August soybean meal ascended $1.7 to $434.6/ton, November soybean prices dropped 2 cents to $12.4125 /bushel.
Wheat began the day firmly and benefited from the news about wheat seeking from Egypt. USDA weekly Crop Progress report showed the U.S. winter wheat harvest at just 43% complete last weekend. That was far behind the five-year mean at 52% complete. In addition, the report mentioned spring wheat condition at 68% good to excellent, which was lower from the 70% result released last week. September CBOT wheat advanced 2.5 cents to $6.575/bushel, while September KCBT wheat increased 1 cent to $6.9175/ bushel, while September MGE wheat futures dropped 0.25 cents to $7.7125/bushel.
Cattle futures have turned lower after trading higher during the overnight trade and at the opening of the day session. Futures have eased slightly, but remain in a near-term consolidation mode. Overall, the futures chart picture looks fairly positive, suggesting further gains ahead. August is holding just below last week's high at 123.12. However, near-term futures gains may be held in check by lower beef prices and the cash market. It's uncertain whether cash cattle will trade this week ahead of or after the July 4th holiday. Packers will be buying for a full slaughter schedule next week. August cattle are 0.12 cents lower to 122.05 cents/pound, while October is 0.32 cents lower at 125.80. Feeder cattle futures are also lower. The August contract is 0.25 cents lower to 150.97 cents/pound and September is 0.25 cents lower to 153.07.
Hogs futures moved slightly lower on Tuesday morning. National Daily Hog and Pork report boosted the daily hog slaughter projection before the coming holiday. However, seasonal weakness was still tending to depress the hog and pork complex over the short term. August hog futures dipped 0.475 cents to 96.525 cents/pound Monday, while the December contract declined 0.75 cent to 81.75 cents/pound.

This Is Britain
BBC Two, 9.00pm; Wales, 9.30pm; not Northern Ireland
All over the country, this year's Census questionnaires have landed on doormats. The results of the compulsory decennial survey always throw up some surprises: in 2001 it was that 390,000 British people described themselves as practising Jedi. Who knows what we will learn this year?
In this one-off documentary, Andrew Marr (pictured) takes a look at the history of the Census, asking what it shows us about the state of our country. Beginning with the records from 1901 in Glasgow, in which his own grandfather is listed as a "scholar", Marr brings his usual televisual polish to explaining what all the numbers can tell us about British people. This includes exploring the fierce debate around immigration and identity by looking at who we are, where we come from and what we believe.
Though there are some interesting nuggets here and there, the statistics mostly throw weight behind things that we knew already, many of which are quite depressing. Marriage is less common, and divorce more common, than ever before. In fact, Blackpool is the divorce capital of Britain. In Calton, a poor part of Glasgow, life expectancy for men is just 54 – almost the same as the national average a century ago. And though, in 2001, 90 per cent of the population described themselves as Christian, only seven per cent said that they regularly attended church.
