Agricultural growth linkages in Ethiopia: Estimates using fixed and flexible price models
"Accelerating growth and poverty reduction, and the ultimate achievement of structural transformation, are the critical policy challenges in present day Ethiopia. This paper examines relevant growth options in terms of their impact on overall growth and poverty reduction in the country. It deploys a fixed-price semi-input-output model and a flexible-price economy-wide multi-market model for that purpose. The paper finds that agricultural growth can induce higher overall growth and faster poverty reduction than non-agricultural growth, although the latter can also have large growth effects in some cases. Among sub-sectors within agriculture, staple crops have stronger growth linkages. Decomposition of these effects also reveals that consumption linkages are much stronger than production linkages, i.e., the impact of increased consumption demand due to growth (agricultural and non-agricultural) is much larger than that of the corresponding expansion in input demand. Moreover, non-agricultural sectors have to grow in order to match growing supply of agricultural products and increasing demand for non-agricultural products. Otherwise, falling relative prices of agricultural products may dampen the realized gains in growth and poverty reduction." from Authors' Abstract

Does white wine nightly (2 glasses) elevate your blood pressure?I am 68 years of age and enjoy white wine before bedtimes. My blood pressure is elevated, 145/90, and I wonder if the white wine might be the cause. READ MORE
Hi Nancy,
Drinking too much alcohol does affect your blood pressure, especially if you are a chronic heavy drinker. I know 2 drinks does not seem "heavy", but studies show that drinking 1 ½ to 2 drinks per day increases your risk of high blood pressure. Drinking two glasses of wine nightly also interferes with the effectiveness of any high blood pressure medications or treatments you may be using to control your high blood pressure.
Alcohol also stimulates the release of cortisol (a hormone). Cortisol promotes sodium retention and increases potassium losses, both of which can blood pressure to increase.
I recommend cutting back to at least 1 glass per day or less. One glass equaling 10 ounces. Consider red wine due to its link with some heart benefits.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson, RD, LN
Hi Nancy,
I want to correct a line in my answer to you. One glass of wine is equal to 4 ounces and provides 10 grams of alcohol. To minimize the affect on your blood pressure, it's best to consume no more than 4 ounces of wine daily.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson, RD

I thought I heard Lindsay say at ATFR that she took off the shoes because it was so uncomfortable trying to walk on that grave/dirt path.
I read somewhere, today, that there was a designer involved with the dresses. Poor Lindsay really did get the short end of that design.

Awwww!!! I'm so glad he picked Catherine! I think she's got a good man there! And he's got a good woman too!
"You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling"
I could see the attraction between the two last evening and I hope they are one of the "Lucky Ones", that makes it the long term. But, regardless of what I witnessed last evening, i have major doubts!
Sean is not a cryer (his words) neither am I, so I understand. Yet, he was on the verge of tears during the last week of filming & most of the evening. Some would say it was his feelings for Catherine, I would disagree. I think he is totally drained physically and emotionally. I think he considered very carefully before he let the girls go. I also think he let some of the girls go he really cared about because he was afraid of rejection and they had failed to get their feelings across about how they felt about him. I also wonder about Catherine...if he had let her go instead of Des. Did he really fall in love with Catherine that deeply, that quickly? He knew she was a lot of fun to be with, but he was ready to send her home only a few weeks prior. Look how long he kept "the terrible one" around. Different women tried to talk to him about the situation, next thing you knew, they would be sent home the following ceremony. Again Sean's words, Ashlee was the one he seemed to be developing strong feelings for from the beginning, but he changed his mind on a dime.. As nice a guy as Sean seems to be, he is not a good judge of people and is easily persuaded! A producer's dream! (In my humble opinion)
For him not to be sure of his chosen one until his last date with Lindsey, is a little telling about his feelings for each of the girls. His mother gave him excellent advice, if he didn't know who he wanted to spend his life with, by this time, he should not choose either. I think the decision maker for Sean was when Catherine went to the house he was staying the night before. When ask how did he know he was in love, he responded, it was like God told me she was the right one for me. I realized at that point, how stressed out he truly was. His mother told him he should be all giddy and happy about the one he loved and so he is giddy and happy. I believe he believes he is in love, they have only shared the fantasy world the real world will be the challange. For some reason, not choosing anyone seemed not to be a choice for him.
I hope they take time together before they marry, to really get to know each other. If it is infacuation, as I believe, they are able to realize it together and can part without hurting each other to badly.
I stayed away from the bachelor for a few seasons, it had gotten to over the wall for me. But, I'm glad I decided to watch this show..I had hoped for a different ending but "it is what it is." I have enjoyed reading the different views about the show and look forward to seeing you all for "The Bachelorette."
Last edited by rileymeboy; 03-13-2013 at 12:24 AM.
The women don't know where they are going, but, sometimes their dream locals match where the show has already planned to go. They have to scout out locations for shooting and for all the cast and production to stay, way in advance. They usually get freebies from hotels and assistance from cities/countries in exchange for all the publicity it draws to wherever they go. I think depending on who the lead picks and their bucket list, they may try to get them to that date....like Emily also got the elephants which were on her bucket list.
You could be the juiciest, most ripe peach, but there is still going to be someone who doesn't like peaches.

Bunnies are cute, they're furry; people like bunnies. Dancing is fun, people like to dance when they're too drunk to stand. Here's an idea: let's put bunnies and dancing together in a puzzle game on Xbox Live Arcade. The idea could have been fine. Heck, we've seen much odder pairings in the videogame world but it's the execution of Boogie Bunnies' core puzzle mechanics that are the game's true pitfall. It does nothing different from the gaggle of puzzlers that are already out there and the old playstyles that it employs aren't nearly as fun as we'd hoped.
The premise for Boogie Bunnies (or B-Squared as it's called around the IGN office) is essentially the same "falling colored bricks" that we've seen before but instead of bricks there are festively colored bunnies. And instead of dropping your colored bunnies directly down onto the stacks of others you have the ability to toss them from either of the two sides as well. It isn't a huge departure from the norm, but it's something. As you've probably guessed your one and only goal is to rid the board of carrot chompers before they can stomp their way off of a ledge. B-Squared tries to throw in creative mechanics such as red bunnies that explode surrounding bunnies or aqua bunnies that, when destroyed, cause the rest of the flock to do a little jig (no joke, they actually dance, hence the game's name) and up your score, but none of it is the slightest bit exciting.
As with other puzzle games, and typically XBLA games in general, there are multipliers to help you up your score a bit. But only one. While you can combo bunnies together it's too often that it happens totally by chance rather than by some strategic motivation. The only multiplier that actually comes into play is when the bunnies are doing their cute and cuddly dance number. And in case you were wondering, you unlock different dance moves with each subsequent stage. The weird thing about the multiplier is that you can cheat the system by launching pieces off to the side and therefore off the board until you get a matching color. Zuma roots out this problem by taking away your multiplier if you don't destroy a set of blocks with each launch; most other games of this type have closed boundaries.
The single-player levels are split across three modes: arcade, classic and endless. Your playstyle won't change at all, so it really doesn't matter which you select. Multiplayer modes do fare a bit better, with cooperative local play and something that we think is supposed to be online adversarial matchups but that wasn't nearly as clear as it should have been. Co-op play is fine. You and a buddy inhabit the same three sides of the puzzle but you can't cross paths so you have to strategize with one another in order to be victorious. Playing online is a bit different as you and your friend take turns at taking out as many of the boisterous bunnies as you can. Whether the goal was to destroy as many bunnies as possible or to have bunnies fall off the edge during the player's turn, we have no ide. There was nothing resembling a tutorial for online play to teach us.
The final failing for the gameplay in B2 is the fact that you can't see what color piece is coming next. It's a huge part of the strategy in Tetris to plan your attack, to know how to organize a shot to coincide with the next. There's none of that in Boogie Bunnies. Too often you'll feel like you're aimlessly tossing pieces down a shoot in hopes that it will somehow turn into a combo. Not exactly ideal for this genre.
Sadly things don't remedy themselves when looking at the aesthetics. The bunnies are decently detailed to look as cute as they possibly can and their dance moves are admirable, I suppose. I'm not exactly sure what dancing bunnies should look like, but Boogie Bunnies seems as accurate as the next. Where it loses hope of being impressive or worthy of being on Xbox 360 hardware is the first time that you see the framerate struggle to stay locked at 30. Whenever there are several bunny-filled explosions going on the game strains to maintain fluid animations, often times altogether failing. It's a sad day when a game that looks like this with its low resolution environmental textures and cute, simplistic visual style can't hold its framerate. On the other hand, the aural offering will neither offend nor please anyone; it just sort of exists.
Dont spend ten dollars on Boogie Bunnies. Xbox Live Arcade games are meant to be fun, cheap distracters from more hardcore game experiences but Boogie Bunnies is neither cheap nor is it fun. Its boring and unexciting gaming at its finest and should only be experienced by those so addicted to puzzle games that theyve burned through everything else thats out there.

The University of Alabama Libraries is proud to hold the David Walker Lupton African American Cookbook Collection, one of the largest collections of African American cookbooks in the country.
The collection currently consists of four hundred and fifty volumes covering the period from 1827, when the first book with recipes by an African American was published, through the year 2000.
Culinary texts yield far more than recipes when closely scrutinized. They are written from the point of view of an individual or a community and, as such, have much to say about ethnic identity, family and community life, social history, the roles of women and men, values, religion, and economics, as well as the more obvious fields of diet and nutrition, use of agricultural products, the food supply, and general food history.
Cookbooks are widely accepted among scholars both as documents of history and works with literary interest," commented Professor Elaine Martin, Professor of German and authority on food in film and literature. "Their study can illuminate the lives of people in new and innovative ways," she explained.
The collection allows users to explore aspects of the relationship between food and African American history and culture. Well before the popularization of "soul food" and before the advent of celebrity media chefs, there were the countless talented African American chefs who were responsible for the elegant cuisine in fine restaurants, hotels, clubs, and dining cars across the country. Rufus Estes (Good Things to Eat, originally published in 1911) presided over the luxurious private dining car of a railway executive and later was head chef of the subsidiary companies of the United States Steel Corporation in Chicago. In this collection one finds the first edition of The Historical Cookbook of the American Negro (1958) by The National Council of Negro Women, possibly the first African American cookbook to link in a deliberate manner culinary heritage with social, cultural, economic, and political history. Also present is the slim volume of recipes by Clementine Hunter (Melrose Plantation Cookbook, published in 1956), internationally collected folk artist sometimes called the Black "Grandma Moses," who late in life turned her talents from the kitchen to the canvas.
The beginnings of the soul food movement in the late sixties are well documented and traced through the many subsequent volumes extolling dishes that can now be found in trendy restaurants in most states. Many of the cookbooks are community-based fund-raisers from churches, women's clubs, and sororities. Such books can often be the most difficult to identify and locate because they usually do not receive wide publicity or distribution beyond their contributors.
Almost every title in the Lupton Collection suggests more than recipes: food is linked with music, humor, social satire (see the underground classic, Vibration Cooking, by Vertamae Grosvenor, published in 1970), cultural and religious celebrations (several Kwanzaa cookbooks, for example), and almost every other aspect of life. There are plenty of celebrity recipes: Muhammad Ali's favorite recipes and cookbooks by Johnny Mathis, Pearl Bailey, and Mahalia Jackson among others.
"The Lupton Collection was avidly sought by more than one institution, and we are honored that the Lupton family has entrusted the result of David's creative vision to us," said Louis A. Pitschmann, Dean of Libraries. "We are eager to add to the Collection," added Pitschmann, "and are hopeful that the arrival of this important gift will encourage people throughout Alabama and the Southeast to consider contributing their African American cookbooks and recipe collections to the Hoole Library." If you have a local or regional cookbook, or an African-American cookbook you wish to donate to the library, please contact us.

Brace yourselves, folks. After dominating the rankings for what has felt like an eternity, Mike Green is no longer the cream of the fantasy defensemen crop. But the mild demotion has less to do with personal performance or recent injury (no biggie) and more to do with team circumstance. As expected, John Carlson is emerging and developing as a second potent offensive defenseman for the Washington Capitals. Green, therefore, is no longer the only prized horse in town.
Carlson had 39 points in 48 games with the AHL Hersey Bears in 2009-10. But perhaps most impressively, the 20-year-old held his own and scraped out four points in seven pressure-filled playoff games with the Caps last spring (finishing plus-six). Averaging a point per game this young season, Carlson has a very bright future as a productive blueliner in the NHL.
Fortunately, for Green and his fantasy owners alike, the Capitals are capable of generating enough offense to go around. They led the league in 2009-10 by scoring 3.82 goals per game; well ahead of the second-place Vancouver Canucks' average of 3.27 goals per game. As long as the Caps don't falter much scoring-wise this season (they won't) Green remains a top-three fantasy asset. And, in reference to his injured shoulder, he may be ready to return for Thursday's contest against the Boston Bruins.

Rising and Falling
Stephane Robidas, Dallas Stars (up one spot): The Dallas Stars have been consistently criticized since early last autumn for not replacing Sergei Zubov with another elite offensive-defenseman, yet, Stephane Robidas continues to fill the No. 1 role reasonably enough. Robidas ain't no Zubov, but he managed 41 points last season and, averaging nearly 24 minutes per game, is off to a decent start once again. By all accounts, and considering current ownership issues, the Stars are sticking with the roster they have. That includes Robidas as the team's top threat from the blue line.
Andy Greene, New Jersey Devils (down 17 spots): After doing a decent job in replacing the injured Paul Martin on the Devils' top power-play unit for months last season, Andy Greene has since lost that role. The Devils are currently looking to Matt Taormina as their key defenseman on the No. 1 unit, and the rookie is holding his own. Taormina has three points in his past three games and appears confident and comfortable. If available in your league (a good bet), the rookie is worth consideration. On the flip side, Greene's value drops.
Marek Zidlicky, Minnesota Wild (up 11 spots): Appearing no worse for the wear following an early-season groin injury, Marek Zidlicky hasn't wasted any time in establishing himself as the Minnesota Wild's top-scoring d-man. With four points in three games, Zidlicky is poised to make a charge at the 50-point mark once again.
Key injury notes
Ryan Suter left the ice and didn't return after colliding with Cory Sarich of the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. The Nashville Predators are referring to Suter's ailment as a lower-body injury, but it doesn't seem too dire. Coach Barry Trotz, after the game: "We'll probably have a better update (Wednesday). ... No, not too serious. ... He might miss a little bit of time, but nothing major." Cody Franson will get more scoring opportunities, and chances to skate alongside Shea Weber on the power play, as long as Suter remains out.
After sitting out two games already with a bad shoulder, Zach Bogosian skated in practice on Tuesday. The Atlanta Thrashers won't rush Bogosian back, but there's a chance he'll see action by the weekend.
Cam Fowler's busted nose reportedly won't stop him from skating in Wednesday's game versus the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Anaheim Ducks' willingness to play Fowler, broken beak and all, indicates their desire to keep him in the NHL, moving forward.
It's early, but the Blue Jackets are already dealing with losses to injury on the blue line. Anton Stralman has a hurt shoulder and Kris Russell is battling a lower-body injury. Listed as day-to-day, both could be out for Wednesday's matchup with the Anaheim Ducks. If that's the case, Fedor Tyutin will take over offensive responsibilities on the back end.
Potent Pairings
Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook, Chicago Blackhawks: Old buddies at even strength, Keith and Seabrook haven't been historically glued together at the hip with the extra skater. But with Brian Campbell hurt, they've dominated the ice for the Blackhawks, as a duo, in all situations this season. Keith is already established as a fantasy powerhouse, but you have to like what this state of affairs does for his partner's value. Averaging more than 26 minutes per game, Seabrook has four points and is playing with a lot of spunk. Hopefully, that attitude endures even when Campbell makes his return (November).
Power Play Performers
Pittsburgh Penguins blue line: Although the recent pregame tribute was appropriate and sincere, looking ahead, there's no reason for the Pittsburgh Penguins to mourn the loss of Sergei Gonchar any longer. After a slow start, the Penguins are 4-1 with 19 goals in their past five contests, and much of the credit for the offensive output goes to three defensemen. Alex Goligoski, new addition Paul Martin and Kris Letang already have a total of 19 points between them. Goligoski takes over Gonchar's old role by garnering the bulk of minutes with the man advantage, but the other two get their fair share as well. Letang has appeared particularly dangerous, rifling that lethal shot of his from the point with increasing regularity.
John-Michael Liles, Colorado Avalanche: They didn't always get along last season, but coach Joe Sacco and John-Michael Liles can't have much to bicker about now. Liles leads all league defensemen, plus his Colorado Avalanche teammates, with eight points. While Liles is carrying the offensive load almost exclusively from the back end, no other blueliner on the team merits much fantasy attention at present. Although you may want to keep an eye on what Jonas Holos is capable of, once the young Norwegian gets more playing time.

How do I beat Death Eggbot?
I know to hit him in the back twice but in the second stage of the fight I get stuck. please help! :)
Rhys185 - 5 years ago
Accepted Answer
Once you pass its first phase, the Death Egg Robot (controlled by Eggman) will try to flatten you. Charge up a spin attack. The DER will leap into the air, attempting to flatten you (it will still be in view of the camera, though). As the DER begins to fall back to the ground, let loose with aforementioned Spin Attack and let the force of the DER's impact with solid ground launch you to the battle's second phase's main fighting grounds. Once there, the DER will start launching its fists at you. Scattered across the room are switches and mines that pop up when the corresponding switch is pressed. Your goal is to set up a mine and have the Death Egg Robot lock onto (or near, at least) one of these mines. This will stun him for a few seconds, giving you time to jump on its ejected fist (still where it was when it hit the mine you put into play), roll along the DER's arm, and finally jump and land an attack on the DER's main hull, causing damage. Do this twice, and victory is yours.
If this confuses you, just Youtube "Sonic Generations Death Egg Robot Battle S-rank". Something's bound to pop up.

Weasel Words With Easy Starts Are Not The First Ones To Our Hearts - Poem by Sean Joyce
Weasel words
with easy starts
are not the first
ones to our hearts
when the cold cadaver light of day
takes one of those we love away
After the funeral
- when the funeral was over
- After we had buried him
We walked across the grass
We walked across the grass
leaving footprints in the dew
footprints in the dew
How was that possible
'God's name how was that possible
with him forever
And now, forever
footprints forever
looking back across the grass
The warmth of the day
losing us all, forever

Joseph Daly (9/10/2007 1:46:00 PM)
This is great Sean. I like the way that you have put this together. The rauses between stanzas works well as does the length of the stanzas. The fourth stanza, on its own is a work of beauty.
This is an excellent piece Sean. I hope you value it as much as I do. (Report) Reply

Mr. Reifsteck
Coach Reifsteck, I really appreciate you for being the best coach I've ever had in sports. You are one of the nicest people I've ever met. You always push me to do my best on the track. One thing you would always say to me in practice is "KEEP PUSHING ELOBY!!!" I remember when we first did hills and I knew from that point on we were going to be working hard. My most memorable moment about the track season was when we broke the school record for the sprint medley. Finally, the impact you had on me during track season was helping me to get my time to decrease throughout the season. Once again, I really appreciate you helping with me with track. I can't wait 'til next season!!!!

Michelle Obama's membership in the 50-plus club is a great way to start having more serious conversations about middle-aged women and their health.
Turning 50 is a great milestone, but with it comes a huge responsibility in staying on top of one's health, particularly women. While 50 is often romanticized as the new 40, it doesn't change the fact that your body becomes susceptible to many health risks. Knowing what to look for, how to respond accordingly and what questions to ask your doctor is important and can be literally life saving. Take a look at this compiled list of health risks every woman over the age of 50 should pay closer attention for.
Heart Disease
When women reach menopause it puts them more at risk for heart disease, which affects about 8 million women in the United State. It is believed that the female hormone, estrogen, provides protection to the heart until menopause. Roughly 440,000 heart attacks occur every few years.
Breast Cancer
While this is probably a no brainer for most, breast cancer is the most cancer that affects women in America. One in eight women will find out that she has breast cancer at some time in her life. This disease occurs when cells become abnormal, then forming other cells in an uncontrolled manner, which leads to forming masses of tissues called a tumor.
Because going through menopause is a biologically life changing point in a woman's life, many will undoubtedly develop depression, which is one of the most common causes of menopause. Depression is also caused whether you have a family with depression or not.
Cervical Cancer
Any woman who has had genital contact with another person can get HPV, human papillomavirus, the cause of cervical cancer. Your risk of getting this cancer is high if you smoke.
Though diabetes, which occurs when your blood sugar is too high, is affecting more and more women at younger ages and can occur at any age, it is at its highest risk rate between the ages of 55 and 59.
Osteoporosis is the thinning of the bones, in which they become weak, making it more likely for them to break. Unfortunately, there are no symptoms to look out for until you actually break a bone. According to The National Women's Health Information Center, you have a greater chance of osteoporosis if you are female, small boned, and have a history of osteoporosis in your family.
Here are a few steps you can take to avoid some of these health risks:
Stay physically active.
Stay at a healthy weight.
Get your blood pressure checked every two years and your cholesterol checked regularly.
Schedule a mammogram every 1 to 2 years.
Have a Pap Smear every 1 to 3 years.
Talk to your doctor about being screened for depression if you suddenly feel overwhelming sadness or hopeless.
Get a blood test for diabetes, especially if you have high blood pressure.

The Bench directed EC while dealing with two PILs (Public Interested Litigation) filed by one Bukya Saida and three others, and another V Venkateswara Rao, contending that the announcement of results of civic bodies will affect, determine voting in the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. Petitioners urged EC, HC to postpone the results of Civic bodies till May 7.
Now, the petitioners are mulling over to move the Supreme Court against High Court's order. With none other than HC giving its order, SC may mostly upheld the order. Considering that Municipal Polls results would reveal the pulse of people, mood of voters, these results could help us predict who is going to win in Assembly, Lok Sabha polls in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Oleh Khoma, Business Development Manager and Head of ELEKS' HPC unit, shares the most recent updates on the ELEKS' HPC team activities.
Things have been hot the last couple of months for our HPC unit at ELEKS. We were excited to become a part of the UBER-Cloud HPC Experiment, organized to drive the adoption of HPC-in-the-Cloud. Assuming the role of HPC Experts, we were happy to share our experience in clouds in application to heavy computing.
As experts in GPU computing, we could not miss the GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, where every year NVIDIA showcases the progress of GPGPU technology. This year a new exciting roadmap was revealed that promises some cool features for the future Maxler and Volta chips. Quite a bit has been happening on the mobile front as well with the low-power Tegra 4 processor.
Regarding upcoming events: Yuriy Guts, ELEKS' R&D Engineer and Cloud Expert, is getting ready to speak at the HPCFinance Conference in Tampere, Finland this May. The topic will also be related to Cloud technology, as it is still a highly underused technology in many industries.
On the R&D side, we are working on new promising algorithms for medical imaging and the application of Xeon Phi for some of our projects as well as getting ready for the new HPC projects due to start in next couple of months.

A Brooklyn restaurant is in the news for a Beyonce-themed publicity stunt. Brooklyn restaurant Brucie created a Valentine's a la carte menu featuring dinner items inspired by the lounge singer such as "Drunk In Love," "Breastiny's Child," and "I Am Pasta Fierce."
As dumb as this dinner menu sounds, Beyonce's Stans are eating it up.
Swinging her weave onstage for 2 hours is back breaking work. Maybe that's why Beyonce stuffed her face with 20 chicken wings and 3 whole chickens recently? According to Twitter, Beyonce recently visited the world famous Nando's Chicken Restaurant while in the UK on tour. While in the restaurant, Beyonce rang up a total of £1,44.10 ($2,263) after stuffing her face with 20 wings, 3 whole chickens and side orders of cole slaw, rice and potato chips. The receipt of her purchase quickly made its way around the Internet. Celebuzz and other media outlets called the number on the receipt to verify it was Beyonce who made the unreal purchase. Yup, it was her all right. No wonder Beyonce is so energetic during her shows. She has to burn off all those extra calories!
A thief with a conscience broke down crying while robbing a Papa Johns pizzeria in Montana, the NY Post reports. After speaking with the cashier, the robber left with a pizza and chicken wings to feed his hungry family.
"I'd say the clerk was pretty astute," Helena Police Chief Troy McGee said. "I mean, he knows how to talk to this person. Kind of commiserated with him a little. Talked to him about it and you know actually changed his mind about robbing the place. That was pretty good."
Singer/songwriter Akon hosted a brunch at the Bottle Bar in Buckhead on Sunday as part of the BET Hip Hop Awards weekend. Special invited guests included Devyne Stephens (UpFront Records); former MTV VJ Ed Lover, the sharply dressed Kwassi, owner of MODA404; Sony Records exec Shawn Holiday, and more!
America's children are starving as a result of the controversial mandated National school lunch policy, which is the brain child of the first lady Michelle Obama.
Mrs. Obama is fighting obesity by forcing children to subsist on vegetables, fruit, whole grains and nuts.
But a group of students are protesting what they see as forced starvation diets. They say they are hungry and they're not taking the school lunch policy sitting down.
In a video uploaded to YouTube.com, hungry students faint from lack of energy after eating the 750-850 calories that Mrs. Obama's school lunches provide.
The children argue that the low calories are not enough to meet the physical needs of growing teenagers.
Scott Van Duzer, 46, of Port St. Lucie, Florida, made headlines when he power lifted President Obama off his feet during a campaign stop on Sunday. Van Duzer, who owns the Big Apple Pizza & Pasta Restaurant in Fort Pierce, Fla., says angry residents are threatening to boycott his pizza shop after he hugged the president during the campaign stop.
"People are saying a lot of bad things and boycotting my restaurant," Van Duzer told POLITICO.com. "There's no middle line anymore, and that's exactly what's wrong with our country right now."
By now you've all seen the photo of the Republican pizzeria owner bear hugging Mr. Obama. The first thing I thought when I saw the picture was where are the Secret Service? If the photo had not been staged Secret Service agents would've beat him worse than Chris Brown beat Rihanna.
It seems that most of rap mogul Jay Z's friends are either in prison or turning on him.
According to Page Six, Jay Z filed a lawsuit against his former personal chef, and head chef for the 40/40 Club, Mike Shand.
Jay Z hired Shand to run the sports bar's newly renovated kitchen after Shand cooked for Jigga and wife Beyonce on tour.
But after the health department shut down 40/40 earlier this year, Shand flew the coop — taking his special recipes with him.
In court documents Jay Z's legal hounds argue that Shand's stolen recipes ended up "costing the club lost profits, loss of good will [and] alienation of clientele." In other words, the club was hemorrhaging money (again) and Shand jumped ship rather than accept the blame for the latest failure.
Rap mogul Ludacris takes you on a journey to Seoul, Korea, where you follow him behind the scenes of his concert tour, and he treats you to some delicious Korean cuisine. Check out Ludacris in Korea, as he prepares to drop his 8th studio album Ludaversal this year.
On Wednesday, thousands of people — black and white — turned out in droves at Chick-fil-A restaurants in response to public criticism of CEO Dan Cathy who voiced his opinion on traditional marriage.
Chick-fil-A announced a record-breaking day for sales. The turnout on Wednesday smashed all records for foot traffic at any fast food restaurant chain in history.
But you wouldn't know about the biggest story of the week just by picking up a newspaper in any major city, or by watching CNN.
Atlanta-based CNN — which gave major coverage to giant snapping turtles last month — devoted scant coverage to the Chick-fil-A story.
It will be interesting to see how much coverage the biased media will devote to the planned gay "kiss-in" at Chick-fil-A restaurants today.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/8/2013 (1457 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
FENG SHUI; Talk about an unusual welcome wagon gift. Restaurateur Verna Judge of Step'n Out Sur le Boulevard at 157 Provencher paid a visit to the new kids on the block -- the 10 psychics across the street at the recently relocated Soul Medicine Psychic Shoppe. She soon returned with a feng shui book to help them bring in the moolah at their new spot. Judge and her partner Alan Shepard credit feng shui with helping keep the crowds coming to them for 16 years. In fact, the floor at the entrance of their Parisian-style restaurant has ancient Chinese coins hidden under them. They also have a mirror behind the cash register so it always looks like they are doubling their money. Shepard says anything that might help a Winnipeg business is worth a try: "When we started out we heard 80 per cent of restaurants go down in the first two years!" Their classy bistro is now in its 10th year on Provencher and had six successful years in the Exchange District at King and Bannatyne.

INSIDER MUSIC BUZZ: There are still a few tickets for the Kenny Shields and Streetheart show Saturday at McPhillips Station Casino. Lead singer Shields' new album Letting Go is now out, and he and the band will be doing all the old Streetheart favourites such as What Kind of Love is This, Snow White, Tin Soldier and Under My Thumb. The band also includes Jeff Neill (guitar), Jake Jacobs (bass), Daryl Gutheil (keyboards) and Tim Sutton (drums). At 65, Shields says he's feeling really good these days "although I just got back from a gruelling week of giggin' in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Ontario," he said Thursday. "But I'm feeling fine after a few days home." Shields looks healthy although he's lost his mop of blond hair and he's not as, well, skinny. "I was undernourished and under-loved in the old days!" he laughs. Tickets are available online at the Casinos of Winnipeg website.

BIG BITES IN APPLE: Burton Cummings has been wowing the sophisticated set in and around New York City. He recently played Massapoqua's Burns Park as part of the town of Oyster Bay's Music Under the Stars series with his band the Carpet Frogs, and the next night he played at Manhattan supper club City Winery. This week, Big Apple writer Bob Smith said of our hometown boy in New York's Good Times Magazine: "Take a dab of Jim Morrison, add a touch of Bobby Darin, sprinkle in some Robert Plant and put in a cupful of the Beatles and you get Burton Cummings... at 65, he continues to be one of the most gifted vocalists in pop music history."

HARD DAY'S NIGHT: Ben Walker -- a title holder of Winnipeg's Funniest Person with a Day Job, hosted a full roster of comics at the Cheer on Wednesday night -- and it turns out just about everybody still has a day job to support the night job. Walker is a government worker by day. Comedian Bill Pats, who works at the airport Stella's, had just returned from performing his Winnipeg Fringe show I Hate Bill Pats Too in Saskatoon. Then Streetz 104 morning man Paul Rabliauskasas hit the stage after a long day with a dawn start... Some lucky people in the lineup were just doing the comedy thang these days. Chantal Morostica, who produces local comedy shows such as The Drunk Show at the Park, recently recorded a comedy CD. Chad Anderson -- who tours with veteran comic Don Burnstick -- did a set, and patrons applauded Jordan Wellwood, who's off to Toronto in September to compete in the Just for Laughs contest Canada's Next Top Comic.
