The Break Gauge – the first super meter ever for the series – gets charged with every attack landed or taken, and by blocking. Once it is full, players can perform either the Break Blow, a flashy and highly destructive special attack, or the Break Hold, a useful counter attack that deals low damage but works against high, low and mid attacks. Both are executed with the Special button; for Break Blow simultaneously press forward, or press backward if you want to perform the Break Hold.
Introducing new stages combined with the fan-favourite Danger Zones, where fighters can use the environment in their attacks. This tournament is set to be one of the most entertaining ever.

Flash: Smoke-Free Apartments Will Be the Law in Berkeley on May 1
The Berkeley City Council unanimously supported an ordinance making 100% of all multi-unit housing smokefree at its Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013 council meeting. The ordinance will include all shared-wall housing whether rent controlled or not, and will take effect May 1st, 2014.
Council representatives asked questions regarding enforcement, but there was no opposition to strong, smokefree protections, which had been stalled for years. Serena Chen of the American Lung Association and Liz Williams of Americans for Nonsmokers' rights were among the supportive speakers. Approximately 16 cities currently have strong protections for occupants in multi-unit housing.

Exploring the Boundaries and Terrain of ADR Practice
The various forms of practice within the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) spectrum—and I would include within that spectrum the practice of collaborative law (CL)—lend themselves to a wide variety of styles. For example, mediation can range from transformative to facilitative to more directive. The purpose of this article is to describe cases in which the boundaries are indistinct.
Collaborative law. CL is a form of negotiation in which lawyers participate but agree in writing that they will not litigate the matter, and that if a negotiation impasse is reached, the parties will hire new counsel to take the matter to court. Among the hallmarks of CL are interest-based, problem-solving styles of negotiation; confi-dentiality; voluntary exchange of information; joint retention of experts; and respectful communications.
Like other forms of ADR, CL cases vary widely. In the paradigmatic CL negotiation, the parties and attorneys negotiate in four-way meetings in a nonadversarial manner. In some CL cases, however, despite the parties' and counsel's best intentions, the negotiations can become so protracted, positional, and adversarial that they are virtually indistinguishable from ordinary negotiation in a high-conflict case.
At the other end of the CL spectrum are cases in which the negotiations are so cordial and so collaborative that they resemble transformative mediation. In one such divorce case in which I served as CL counsel for the husband, my opposing counsel and I were astonished at how smoothly the negotiations proceeded. From the clients' standpoint, the amicable nature of our discussions seemed natural; they did not see their interests as adverse. Their lawyers' roles consisted primarily of helping to set an agenda of issues to be resolved, jointly documenting the parties' agreements, and congratulating them on their successful collaboration.
This case looked a lot like co-mediation. One might say that this is dangerous territory, but it did not feel that way at all, and the outcome of the case speaks for itself. This case suggested to me that mediation and CL, at their boundaries, can look a lot like each other.
Adversarial mediation. At the opposite end of the mediation "spectrum" are those cases in which the parties have no prior relationship and few joint interests other than reducing transaction costs, such as a wrongful-death auto-accident case. In these cases, if the parties are at an impasse, they look to the mediator to be more like a judge or arbitrator and evaluate the likely outcome of the case if it went to trial.
In some adversarial mediation cases, an impasse in the negotiation leads the parties and counsel to ask the mediator to "switch hats" and serve as an arbitrator. It has been my experience that the parties and counsel in such cases are more likely to feel comfortable with the mediator as arbitrator than to hire a new person to serve as arbitrator for two reasons: (1) The mediator is already familiar with the case and does not have to be educated about it, thus making the arbitration a more cost-effective process than it would be with a new arbitrator; and (2) the parties and counsel feel that they can trust in the mediator's even-handedness because they have seen his or her reactions to the legal and factual issues that have been addressed during the mediation.
In other cases, the parties and counsel agree in advance—even before the mediation has begun—that the mediator will serve as arbitrator if the negotiations fail. As numerous commentators have pointed out, such arrangements may rob the mediation phase of its full potential. But if the parties are making an informed choice, processes in which the mediator also serves as an arbitrator can be useful and demonstrate the extent to which mediation can "blend" with arbitration.
In the family law arena, a widely used form of dispute resolution—parenting coordination—brings to mind the Tennessee-North Carolina border inasmuch as the parenting coordinator straddles the line between arbitration and mediation. A parenting coordinator is used by the parties, usually in a postdivorce setting, to resolve any child-related conflict by first helping the parents to reach an agreement and then, absent an agreement, making a recommendation that is immediately binding on the parties. In a typical parenting coordinator arrangement, either parent may go to court to challenge the parenting coordinator's decision but must pay the other side's legal fees if the challenge is unsuccessful.
Mediative arbitration. I also have experienced arbitrations that felt more like mediations. In a series of 180 Dalkon Shield cases in which I served as an arbitrator, the relaxation of the rules of evidence—a characteristic, generally speaking, of arbitrations to one degree or another—was often, by agreement of the parties, so complete that some of the testimony presented in the case was not even relevant to the issues to be decided.
The claimants' testimony in these cases often involved wrenching accounts of various physical ailments and the impact of these conditions on their lives. In most of these cases there was a $20,000 cap on damages, and therefore my task as arbitrator was primarily to decide whether the claimant had established causation because it was clear that compensation for the damages, if causally related to the Dalkon Shield, would reach the cap.
In these hearings, the Dalkon Shield Claimants Trust was not represented by counsel. Instead, to economize on transaction costs, nonlawyer advocates represented the trust and performed very competently, even though they had no formal training in examining witnesses. On the other side of these cases, the claimants sometimes appeared without counsel and therefore presented their highly personal evidence without the structure of legal advocacy. Even when the claimants were re-presented by counsel, however, the
representatives of the trust often permitted highly personal accounts to be presented without making arguments about the relevance of particular portions of the testimony.
The process described above was clearly adjudicative but borrowed heavily on elements from mediation insofar as the openness to emotional expression, empowerment, and recognition is concerned.
Tensions at the border. There is a disturbing tendency for ADR providers at one end of the spectrum to fear, and question the value of, the procedures used on the other side. For example, some CL attorneys criticize mediation as leaving divorcing parties vulnerable because divorce mediation often occurs in three-way meetings involving only the mediator and the parties, who therefore lack real-time legal advice. Some divorce mediators consider CL an oxymoron because, in their view, lawyers of any stripe add contention to the negotiation as a result of their ethical duty to advocate zealously on behalf of their clients.
These tensions disserve the public by failing to give due respect to the varieties of dispute resolution processes that are appropriate for differing situations. There is also a large percentage of disputes that are suitable, for example, for either CL or mediation—the former is often preferred for those issues where real-time legal advice is needed, and the latter is often preferred for parties who need to work on communication issues or child-related problems.

Posted on 01/26/2003 2:55:58 PM PST by TERMINATTOR
(CNSNews.com) - Why pass more gun laws, when there are 20,000 of them on the books that should be enforced? Many gun owners use that argument in the effort to stop gun-control groups from infringing on their Second Amendment rights.
But gun control advocates are trying to undermine that "20,000 gun laws" argument with a new study that casts doubt on the meaning of the "20,000" number.
A study from the Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy counts only 300 "relevant federal and state laws regarding the manufacture, design, sale, purchase, or possession of guns." The key word is "relevant."
The study does not include a tally of local gun laws. In fact, the authors note that since more than 40 states preempt all or most local gun control laws, there's no reason to include local laws in a gun-law tally. It is "irrelevant" to count local laws that are superceded by state laws, the authors said in a press release heralding their study.
In that same press release, the Brookings Institution said the study disputes the 20,000-gun-laws claim, based on a "thorough examination of the number and type" of state and federal gun laws.
"The number of laws per state range from one to 13," the press release said, adding that the most common laws concern mandatory minimum sentencing; dealer background checks; "shall issue" laws for carrying a concealed weapon; dealer licensing; and child protection.
The study's authors are Jon S. Vernick, associate professor and co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health; and Lisa M. Hepburn of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center at the Harvard School of Public Health.
'Meaningful laws, not numbers of laws'
"In the future, rather than trying to count the number of gun control laws, we should try to better evaluate the effect of those laws," said Vernick in the press release.
"Since the notion of the United States having more than 20,000 significant gun laws has become such an important point of reference in the ongoing debate over guns in America, we thought that it would be worthwhile to document the meaningful state and federal laws," Vernick added.
According to the Brookings Institution, the reference to 20,000 gun laws first appeared in Congressional testimony in 1965, but no source was given. The number has taken hold in the public consciousness, however. In 1981, the authors note, President Reagan rejected a call for additional gun legislation, saying, "There are today more than 20,000 gun control laws in effect -- federal, state and local -- in the United States."
The Brookings Institution says the study will be released as a chapter in a book called "Evaluating Gun Policy," which it describes as "a collection of articles on the consequences of gun possession and policies." It's due to be released the first week in February.
The Militia - America's original Homeland Defense - since 1776
This is so low it's just plain stupid.
Since the gun elimination crowd can't argue on the merits they will bicker over the number 20,000. They may be correct. It might just be 19,998 laws.
Translation: "The only way we can dispute the 20,000 number is to not count 19,700 local laws by calling them 'irrelevant.'"
I can also tell you that I have before me the official ATF "State Laws & Published Ordinances- Firearms," year 2000, 22 edition, and it has 329 pages.
In a poker game in the Old West it could get you tarred and feathered... or worse.
""official ATF "State Laws & Published Ordinances- Firearms," year 2000, 22 edition, and it has 329 pages."BH, I wonder if the "THINKERS"{?} at Brookings institute thought of asking the BATF?? Kinda doubt it. Stone cold fact is hard to refute. THANKS!! Peace and love, George.

California legislature to float plan for ditching gasoline by 2040
The California state legislature is set to consider a bill that calls for the ban of new gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicle sales by 2040.
If successful, the bill would be the first of its kind in the United States, though it follows several similar proposals in Europe. China is currently the world's leader in electric car sales, thanks to the government's heavy push of automakers toward an electric future.
"The market is moving this way. The entire world is moving this way," California state legislature assemblyman Phil Ting, whose district includes portions of San Francisco, said in a statement. "At some point, you need to set a goal and put a line in the sand." He intends to introduce the legislation in January 2018, once the Legislature reconvenes.
Opponents argue that many buyers won't be able to afford electric vehicles by 2040, and point to the above-average cost of EVs as a major obstacle to overcome if the state wants to go fully-electric.
California, a longtime leader in the U.S. when it comes to environmentally-friendly legislation, already approved plans to stimulate electric vehicle sales, with a target of having electric vehicles account for 15 percent of new vehicles sales by 2025. However, figures have fallen short, as the incentive programs have proved too little in the face of consistently inexpensive gasoline to persuade buyers to switch to electric drivetrains en-masse.
If the plan to shift the market toward an all-electric lineup is to be successful, California's state-sponsored incentives would need to have a larger impact. That's something Ting is already attempting to do, as he works to increase incentives for new car buyers.
"California is used to being first. But we're trying to catch up to this," he said.

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Verizon Communications can generate hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue in coming years from wireless services beyond the mobile phone, in areas ranging from healthcare and automobiles to energy management, the company's top executive said on Monday.
The No. 1 U.S. mobile carrier joins other companies expected to debate and demonstrate the benefits of connecting devices - like cars - to the Internet at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Operators like Verizon consider this an important new business.
"It's safe to say this is a market potential of billions in the 2020 timeframe," Lowell McAdam told Reuters in an interview. This should translate into a market with "hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for a company the size of us," he said.
"People will be really surprised at what we're able to do," he said. "The power of the networks is finally going to be able to provide these sort of things.
"In 2013 and 2014 you're going to begin to see that."
Taking wireless access beyond the mobile device is expected to become a major theme this year in Vegas. And McAdam said the so-called "Internet of Things" would be a big theme of his own keynote speech on Tuesday.
For example, wireless connections can allow doctors to remotely diagnose an illness and direct a pharmacist to administer medication, McAdam said. He also talked about public safety improvements, such as the ability of firefighters to navigate a burning building with an infrared camera that has wireless access to its layout.
IDC expects the entire market for cellular connections for devices beyond computers or phones to generate revenue of nearly $1 billion by 2016 in the United States alone.
Verizon's biggest rival, AT&T Inc, announced on Monday that it is pushing ahead with its plan to develop a wireless home security service.
McAdam's comments came moments before he told investors that Verizon Wireless had its strongest fourth-quarter ever in the final three months of 2012, tacking on a net 2.1 million subscribers during a period that saw take-up for the iPhone 5 and other devices accelerate.
However, Verizon will take a $1 billion one-time charge related to Hurricane Sandy, which pummeled the east coast and took down infrastructure across the region. A third of the one-time items are covered by insurance, he told a Citigroup investment conference in Vegas.
In his wide-ranging interview with Reuters on the sidelines of the world's largest technology showcase, McAdam, 58, also talked about potential shifts in the industry in coming years.
He said he is open to eliminating subsidies on mobile phones that sharply reduce the cost of devices to consumers, but said buyers now prefer paying less up front and paying higher service fees during a long-term wireless contract.
Smaller rival T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom, has announced a plan to get rid of device subsidies this year, but McAdam said it is not clear this would work for Verizon and the rest of the U.S. market.
U.S. operators like AT&T and Verizon typically pay handset makers like Apple Inc hundreds of dollars for every phone, so they can offer discounts to customers that in turn commit to more lucrative service contracts.
"It's very intriguing. Every carrier has thought about doing away with subsidies," he said, but "I don't think U.S. consumers are ready to buy an iPhone for $700."
McAdam also urged U.S. regulators, including the Federal Communications Commission, to approve several industry mergers and acquisitions in the pipeline that telecoms observers say have the potential to transform the market.
T-Mobile USA is seeking approval to merge with smaller rival MetroPCS Communications Inc. Sprint Nextel is looking for the nod to sell a 70 percent stake to Japan's Softbank Corp.
Some analysts say such combinations could pressure bigger players such as Verizon Wireless, as they face stronger rivals with the ability to compete more aggressively. But McAdam urged U.S. regulators to approve the deals.
"Three to four strong carriers are a lot better for the market than a couple of weak ones that are struggling to stay afloat and do dumb things," said McAdam, referring to the potential for promotions that could ignite a price war.
Since McAdam became Verizon CEO, Verizon Wireless - Verizon's joint venture with Vodafone - gained regulatory approval for a purchase of about $3.9 billion of wireless spectrum from cable companies.

Students will race to fix their car firstBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
May 08. 2013 11:08PM
SOMERSWORTH -- The timeless battle of man versus machine remains a personal one - a quest to improve using a mix of time-tested skills and new technology.
James Reed, 17, a junior from Somersworth, and Andrew Berube, 18, a senior from Lee, will represent Somersworth High School Career Technical Center (CTC) and face off against teams from nine other schools during the annual Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills Competition at New England Dragway in Epping Saturday beginning at 9 a.m.
Their instructor, Jim Niland, who has been teaching automotive services technology for the past 37 years, said the teams will face the same problems purposely created in identical cars - a 2013 Ford Focus SE - which they must repair before driving it across the finish line.
"Quality is more important than speed," Niland stressed.
Reed, who started working with cars last year, said he's most concerned about a fault which could be in the electrical system, which could be a result of a bad light bulb, a loose wire or a misplaced connection.
"You just need to blank everything else out," Reed said. He and fellow students have been studying the mechanical data about the vehicle and reviewing the key issues which cause prevalent problems.
Berube, who attends Oyster River Cooperative School District and works part time at Car Works in Lee, said patience is crucial as they must look over the entire vehicle and focus on the issues. He said his hands are his most important asset.
Niland said the competition encourages students to quickly and accurately diagnose the problems - which could be a need for a new part or reconnecting a wire. He said it's important to resolve the issues correctly to prepare the next generation of mechanics.
"Diagnosing is a process of elimination," Niland said. It allows people to focus on pertinent issues to resolve a problem, he said.
"A work order will give symptoms - just like a customer complaint," Niland said. He expects teams to have to remedy about 10 issues.
He said the issues are challenging, but not impossible or time intensive, as organizers want participants to find them. He said savvy mechanics should be able to locate the problems.
Niland said Reed and Berube have been practicing on a 2013 Ford Focus SE, which was generously donated by Dube Ford in Dover last week.
CTC Director Bette Chamberlain said the school has done well in the competition during the past 30 years.
"We usually place in the top three," Chamberlain said.
Niland said this competition - like any sporting event - has both mental and physical requirements, but participants need to know more than merely turning a wrench.
"In here, it's us against the machine," Niland said.
The winners of the state competition are eligible for scholarships, prizes and the opportunity to represent New Hampshire in the national finals at the Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn, Mich.

The Walrus Says
Having two Eagle Scout candidates in one family
at the same time is in itself extraordinary. Adding the fact that one of the two is only 13 years old makes it even more extraordinary. The fact that they're brothers, both members of Jamestown Troop 1 of which their dad David is the scoutmaster and we have the makings of Scout family of the year.
Brian Volpe, 13, will begin his Eagle project this weekend in the Jamestown Forest on Melrose Avenue just south of the school.
His brother Zack, 17, will soon begin constructing a kayak rack at Ft. Getty. His initial plans to build the rack at East Ferry were scuttled when some residents of Conanicus Avenue complained it would interfere with their view of Newport.
A junior at Landmark High School in Massachusetts, Zack finally last week received approval from the CRMC and will proceed building the two story 32by 10foot rack that will store at least 24 kayaks.
Meanwhile, back in the forest, Brian, with the aid of volunteers from the troop, is planning on constructing three kiosks on which information about the woods can be posted, and students from the Jamestown School can use them for ongoing work projects. The kiosks will be about 4by 4and 6-feet tall, with pegboard surfaces and Plexiglas covers.
Brian, a freshman at St. Andrew's School in Barrington, sees his efforts as a two-month project. He'll continue to enlist his fellow troop members to clear out the brush in the forest. Then he'll update data on trees planted there by the Jamestown Tree Committee and with the help of the committee and renowned island arborist Matt Largess, who volunteered for the project, identify species of trees in the forest. Brian will then place cards at the base of the trees providing information about the individual tree, including what uses it might have had to Native Americans. The forest is located next to a huge Indian burial ground.
Financial help for the forest project came from the town tree committee, which had received a donation from the Jamestown School. Great job, guys!
Word is that a Walt Disney filming crew was scouting the area at the Jamestown School last Thursday.
You're invited to tea on Sunday.
And in an English tearoom to boot.
It's open house from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Cathryn Jamieson Salon at 16 Narragansett Ave. It's also the salon's first art exhibition and features the work of islander Rene Stawicki.
Entitled "Art & Soul," the open house has been planned as an opportunity to meet the salon's practitioners and offer an introduction to its new wellness environments. The tearoom was designed to offer an area for meetings and gatherings of a small number of people such as book groups. "Tell us what you want it used for," said salon owner Cathryn Jamieson.
In addition to tea, autumnal food and drink will be available.
Oh, and a raffle. The grand prize of which is $500 in services.
More than enough to sample the salon's many wonderful wellness offerings.
The weather people are being silly again. In last Saturday's ProJo long-range weather forecast, low temperatures for this week were forecast as 34, 28, 25, 26, 28, 22 and 24 respectively from Sunday through Saturday. That was a short fall.
Keeping a Boy Scout troop mobile is a big job, particularly if it's a growing unit. That's what is facing Jamestown's Troop 1.
Committeeman Harry Chase who is the troop's equipment coordinator said they're running short and in need of donations.
Harry's list includes canoes and kayaks, a rain canopy, an adultsize tent, and a Dutch oven. And, for the end of the day while sitting around the campfire, a guitar.
Harry can be reached at 4230641.
Luke and Matt Verrier are wheelmen.
The brothers are in the process of mastering the operation of a replica of a 19-century High Wheeler bike distinguished by a 36-inch diameter front wheel and small tire at the rear. Its riders are called wheelmen. To get on it one places his right foot on a step on the frame and pushes himself up to the seat. From there you're on your own.
"It takes getting used to," Matt offered.
The two purchased the bike about a month ago from a friend who bought it from a bicycle rental outfit on Block Island. It was originally built by a company named Wheelman in Chattanooga, Tenn. When the Verrier's got it, it was full of rust. They "stripped it to simplicity," removed everything that wasn't working, cleaned the rust off and painted the bike white. Stripping everything off included the brakes so the rider must brake with the pedals.
"Everyone in town seems to like it," Matt said.
The two Jamestown wheelmen are looking for another High Wheeler so they won't have to keep taking turns.
Watching Luke ride away, one thing was for sure. They weren't doing any wheelies in the 1800s.

According to the Jamestown Warriors paper, the art room in the Jamestown School on Melrose Avenue has a wish list.
The room is in need of egg cartons. The Styrofoam and plastic ones are good for keeping paint overnight, but the cardboard kind are also welcome. Also on the school's wish list are tissues, new sponges, wooden spring-loaded clothespins, gallon-sized zip lock bags, small manila mailing envelopes, Styrofoam meat trays, large black foam-tipped paint brushes.

Mohammed Morsi's first visit Monday to the United States as the president of Egypt offers a timely example of all the ways relations between the countries have changed since Egypt held its first democratic election three months ago.
Where former Presidents Hosni Mubarak and Anwar Sadat were celebrated as close U.S. allies and keystones to Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, Morsi isn't even meeting one on one with President Barack Obama. Where U.S. congressmen once lined up to meet with Egypt's civilian and military leaders, they're now discussing cutting off $1.3 billion in annual military aid. And where U.S.-Egyptian relations once were celebrated as one of America's greatest diplomatic success stories, the relationship is now uncertain.
Morsi is scheduled to speak before the United Nations General Assembly. His only meeting with top U.S. officials will be at the annual meeting of former President Bill Clinton's foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative, which Obama also is attending.
Even before thousands of Egyptians stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Sept. 11, tearing down and destroying an American flag over an anti-Islam YouTube video, the signs that U.S.-Egyptian relations have cooled were frequent. Last month, Morsi fired the two military men who'd been the pillars of U.S.-Egyptian military relations and Egyptian-Israeli relations, Field Marshal Mohammed Tantawi and Army Chief of Staff Sami Anan.
Around the same time, Egypt accepted $2 billion in aid from Qatar, making that Persian Gulf nation the biggest donor to its government, surpassing the United States. Morsi's first state visits as president were to China and Iran, nations that seek to challenge America's superiority in the region.
Perhaps most telling, Morsi and his administration have signaled a new kind of relationship, based on "mutual interests." His foreign minister said Egypt had regained its free will in the relationship, according to a local newspaper report.
In response to questions about why Morsi isn't meeting with Obama one on one, one Morsi official told a newspaper here Thursday that the Egyptian leader is "very busy" and will meet with Obama later this year. One hard-line Islamist group called on Morsi to cancel the visit altogether.
Obama himself referred to the changing relationship last week in a television interview with the Spanish-language network Telemundo, saying of Egypt, "I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy."
For Egyptians, one of the unspoken goals of the Arab Spring was for a government that wasn't as dependent on the United States. Many Egyptians think they lived under U.S.-backed despots who couldn't have survived as long as they did without that support.
That belief is one of the factors that underlay the Sept. 11 riot at the U.S. Embassy, where demonstrators allegedly were enraged by the anti-Islam video. That rationale seemed questionable Friday in light of the muted reaction to cartoons published in France that insulted the Prophet Muhammad. Police outside the French Embassy on Friday easily outnumbered the small number of protesters, who demonstrated peacefully for a few hours and then went home.
"There is still a reservoir of popular anger against the United States," said Ashraf el Sherif, a political science lecturer at the American University in Cairo.
When protesters stormed the U.S. Embassy, Morsi, an Islamist and a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, remained silent for more than 36 hours. "He had to answer to the Muslim people first," said Mahmoud Shoukry, secretary council of the Egyptian Council of Foreign Affairs and a former ambassador to Syria and Italy. "He had to absorb the angry feeling of the Egyptian people."
Morsi responded to the attack only after a stern phone call from Obama. And Morsi never outright condemned the assault, instead calling for a peaceful demonstration in defense of the prophet. He then added more police around the compound, weeks after a court ruling forced the government to tear down army checkpoints.
What sustains the relationship, Egyptian experts and former diplomats say, is that neither side has a better alternative. Egypt needs the U.S. to maintain its aid package, to help secure loans from the International Monetary Fund and to keep its status as the leading country of the Arab world. And while U.S. officials may not be happy with Morsi, he's better than the alternative: hard-line Islamists who also are vying to be the voice of the new Egypt.
"The relationship is cold but it is not going to stay like that," Shoukry said. "As far as Egypt is concerned, the relationship is important for its own agenda."
The images of the past week, however unsettling to Americans, aren't enough to break that mutual dependence, Sherif said.
"Pragmatic politics will prevail at the end of the day," he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Governors warned Congress Wednesday that lingering uncertainty over raising the nation's borrowing capacity could hinder their budgets and their ability to foster job growth in their states.
Delaware Gov. Jack Markell and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin outlined states' agendas in 2013 on behalf of the National Governors Association, urging lawmakers to reach a deal on the debt ceiling, which will reach its limit in about two months.
Markell says the postponing of spending cuts under the fiscal cliff deal and a lack of action on raising the debt limit has led to uncertainty just as states are rebounding from the recession and developing their spending plans for next year. He said if the debt limit isn't increased soon, there will be disruptions in federal spending and capital markets that could hurt states.
"Our economies are tightly linked to the national economy and as a result our states' prosperity depends — the prosperity of our citizens depend in no small measure — on ability of public servants in Washington to come to terms on a path forward," said Markell, who is chairman of the NGA.
Fallin, a Republican, said deficit reduction shouldn't be accomplished by simply shifting costs to states. She said the federal government should give states more flexibility to tailor federal programs and funding to the needs of their states.
"What we don't need are 'one-size-fits-all' solutions or more unfunded federal mandates passed onto our states," said Fallin, the NGA's vice chair. She said states should be treated as "partners, not underlings."
The concerns in the states arise as Treasury officials say they'll run out of money to pay all the government's obligations sometime in February or March if Congress doesn't raise the current $16.4 trillion limit on borrowing authority.
Republicans have said they will seek major spending cuts in exchange for any agreement to raise the debt limit. President Barack Obama has said he won't negotiate on the debt limit, raising concerns of a protracted standoff.

5 American Horror Story Costumes For Your Very Own Coven
If you're in the market for a sexy group costume this Halloween, H&M has you covered. Nothing will suit a gaggle of badass chicks quite as well as these witchy outfits inspired by American Horror Story: Coven.
Looking to channel the all-powerful Fiona Goode? Try pairing H&M's Viscose Dress ($34.95) with sexy leather gloves ($24.95) and platform pumps ($49.95). Add a pair of sheer black hose, some sunglasses, and an umbrella to top it off. You're basically Jessica Lange now.
Emma Roberts is killing it as the murderous Madison Montgomery, but you can totally handle the role too. Style this long dress ($49.95) with a wool hat ($17.95) and black pumps ($24.95). Add sunglasses to up the moodiness factor.
I can totally see you as the clairvoyant Nan. Copy Jamie Brewer's costume with this chiffon dress ($14.95), a pair of over-the-knee socks ($12.95), and detailed loafers ($29.95).
If you envy how they dress Taissa Farmiga to play Zoe "my vagina literally kills people" Benson, we can make it happen for you too. (The clothes—not the killer vadge.) Wear this dress with pleated gathers ($49.95), a felt hat ($12.95), and chunky ankle boots ($39.95). Adding some Goth Girl jewelry wouldn't hurt.
And if vicious-but-cool Queenie is more your style, you can turn yourself into Gabourey Sidibe with the help of this flowy top ($12.95), some jersey leggings ($12.95), and some ass-kicking wedge heel sneakers ($49.95).
Go forth and cast a spell on everyone at that Halloween party, witches. Oh, and re-wear the clothes.

Have you been watching the History Channel's miniseries "The Bible"? Be warned — it rightfully earns its rating of "V" for violence. I'm not sure it is a series for smaller children. Jane and I have watched it each Sunday evening. She often says, "I can't believe how violent it is!" I often say, "I can't believe how much they left out and how they misinterpreted that story!" Mars and Venus.
Have you been watching the History Channel's miniseries "The Bible"? Be warned — it rightfully earns its rating of "V" for violence. I'm not sure it is a series for smaller children. Jane and I have watched it each Sunday evening. She often says, "I can't believe how violent it is!" I often say, "I can't believe how much they left out and how they misinterpreted that story!" Mars and Venus.
I'm reminded that the violence, though difficult to watch, is honest to the biblical accounts. The Old Testament came from a time of all-powerful despots who held life — except for their own — very cheap. Might made right. Their murderous whims were fulfilled without hesitation. Tribes fought for territory. And, as it has been throughout history, religion and dedication to tribal gods is used to justify the worst human impulses.
One disappointment is that the producers — Roma Downey and Mark Burnett — have chosen to dwell more on the violence rather than the stories where life is enhanced rather than taken. Is there terrible violence in the Bible? Of course. Could our scriptures be honest to the history of humanity and be otherwise? But missing is the account of Naomi, Ruth and Boaz as God works even in the midst of their sorrow and struggles to bring about joy. Missing is the story of David's deep friendship with Jonathan. How about the story of Esther's courage?
Instead it has been, up until now, stories of mass murders, paranoid kings maddened by power, warfare and human cruelty. Turn off your soap operas and programs about intrigue and scheming, folks. Read your Bible and you will get your fill!
But I wonder. I wonder if Downey and Burnett are intentionally setting the stage for the Messiah. I wonder if they are preparing us for the contrast between the life, message and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth and the violent culture into which he brought the message of God's love. Perhaps they have set us up for the shock of Jesus' words, "Love your enemies."
Sunday we will celebrate Palm Sunday, remembering how Jesus entered Jerusalem — "The City of Peace." It became anything but peaceful that week. Jesus walked the Temple court reserved for non-Jewish believers and literally turned the place upside down. Why? Because the merchants and money-changers had taken space reserved for worship and made it a circus-like environment. Can you imagine trying to worship and pray in the middle of downtown during the Barbecue Festival? It should be fair warning to those of us who lead worship.
The conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders grew during that Passover week. Toward the end came violence. Jesus was lynched upon a Roman cross between two criminals. He died surprisingly quickly, probably because he was half-dead from the beatings and whippings before the crucifixion. The violence was terrible. Jane and I wonder if we can even watch it.
It helps to know, however, that the awful violence of the cross was not the end. Easter! God took the worst violence that humanity could mete out and met it with love and the power of the resurrection.
Does that mean that we shouldn't be concerned with violence in our own day? Of course not. It means we should be all the more concerned, seeking to redeem tragedy, pain and violence with the justice and grace of God. Therefore, we should work to prevent domestic violence. We should promise to God not to use verbal, physical or emotional violence ourselves. We should seek justice for those violated. We should demand that either our lawmakers legislate what is right to suppress violence or we will elect those who will. We should demand international policies that, while confronting violence, use it as carefully and little as possible. We should take care of our own backyards, limiting our children's exposure to violence in film and games.
Enough of my tirade. I don't want to seem too violent. I want my last words to you, as we approach Easter, to be words of encouragement and hope. Let God use you as, in the words of St. Francis, "an instrument of God's peace." Where there is hatred, sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy.
The Rev. J. Randy Hall serves as pastor of Fairmont Presbyterian Church and author of "Images of Sorrow, Visions of Hope."

Pakistan's political leaders voiced their support Thursday for the country's powerful army in its destabilizing standoff with the United States over allegations the force supports insurgents attacking American troops in Afghanistan.
More than 40 political party leaders signed a resolution after a 10-hour meeting in the capital called by Prime Minister Reza Yousuf Gilani to formulate a response to fresh American claims that the army and the nation's spy agency is supporting the Haqqani network. U.S. officials say the Haqqani group is based on the Pakistani side of the Afghan border and is the most deadly militant faction in Afghanistan.
The vaguely worded resolution, born of compromise between the country's feuding parties and reflective of many of their anti-American and pro-Islamist views, called for peace with insurgents in Afghanistan. It also said the country should seek dialogue with Pakistanis in the tribal regions close to Afghanistan, apparently in reference to militants there battling the Pakistani state.
The head of the army and the country's main intelligence agency, which together control Islamabad's policy toward Afghanistan, addressed the meeting, which was closed to the media.
Few expected the delegates to stake out a position that challenged the army, and it is unlikely their rhetoric will ever be reflected in policy. Other similar resolutions have been ignored. At the very least, it was a signal to Washington that the country's elected representatives supported the military, and as such will do nothing to ease strains with Washington.
"'Give peace a chance' must be the guiding central principle henceforth," said the resolution, regarding Afghanistan. "Pakistan must initiate dialogue with a view to negotiate peace with our own people in the tribal areas and a proper mechanism for this be put in place."
The claims last week by Adm. Mike Mullen, America's top military officer, sent relations between Islamabad and Washington plummeting and triggered a backlash against America.
The resolution also referenced veiled U.S. threats of unilateral action against the Haqqanis if Pakistan does not act, saying the "the Pakistani nation affirms its full solidarity and support for the armed forces of Pakistan in defeating any threat to national security."
U.S. officials have long talked with Islamabad about links between Pakistan and the militant Haqqani network that is behind much of the violence in Afghanistan. But those discussions were mostly held in private, in the hope that Pakistan could gradually be persuaded to sever the purported ties with the group.
But Mullen seemed to signal a new approach last Friday when he told Congress that that Haqqani network was a "veritable arm" of the spy agency, which he said supported the militants in a recent attack on the U.S. embassy in Kabul.
Pakistani officials have denied the allegations, and accused Washington of making them a scapegoat for U.S. failures in Afghanistan.
Shaikh Rashid Ahmed, the president of the Awami Muslim League, said the head of the army and the spy agency told participants that they had no link with the Haqqani network, but that any contacts they did have were with the "political wing" of the movement and were concerned with the formation of any future government in Afghanistan.
Most analysts say the Pakistani army and the spy agency are tolerating or even supporting the Haqqani network because they want to cultivate it as an ally in Afghanistan once the Americans withdraw. They see little chance of the top brass attacking the group now, especially when the U.S. is calling for peace talks with other militant factions in Afghanistan.
This view has support in Pakistan, where many people perceive the Americans as the illegitimate force in Afghanistan, not the Afghan Taliban. But others oppose it because the militants are ideologically allied to al-Qaida and other extremists who have carried out scores of bombings on Pakistani soil over the last four years.

My friend Chris over at Stitches n' Dishes shared a great info graphic he found and I though I should share it with all of you as well. Giving up Milk is not easy, but I did that about 6 months ago and it has changed my life. Since I started eating paleo I have lost about 30 pounds and I eat a richer fuller diet than I ever thought possible. I eat more fresh fruit and veggies than before and I eat a lot of fabulous things like crab legs, shrimp, steak, etc… My initial concern was that my kids need milk, but the logic in The Paleo Solution gave me the confidence I needed to give it a go. My other concern was the cost, and I discovered my grocery bill dropped about 10-15% when I stopped buying processed foods and focused my shopping on quality meat and produce. So… have a look at the info-graphic and let me know what you think. Paleo eating may not be for everyone, but it does accommodate vegetarian and vegan lifestyles and it would be hard to argue against fresh food over processed.
So I'm curious where do you stand on the issue of milk? DO you consider it an essential part of your diet, a luxury, or have you given it up? If you gave it up how do you feel?

The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office is looking for people who might have purchased utility trailers and other items from a man accused of property crimes.
The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office is looking for people who might have purchased utility trailers and other items from a man accused of property crimes.
Timothy Wayne Johnson, 30, of 1246 Nazareth Church Road in Spartanburg, has been charged with obtaining property valued at $2,000 or less under false pretense, third or subsequent offense, as well as receiving stolen goods, worth more than $2,000 but less than $10,000, third or subsequent. The charges stem from the theft and sale of a utility trailer earlier this month.
The owner of Custom Window and Glass at 151 S. Hammett Road in Greer told an officer he arrived at his business March 5 and discovered someone had cut the lock on a gate and stole a utility trailer.
Another man told sheriff's office investigators that he purchased the trailer from a man he knew as "Timmy" on March 3, according to an incident report. The witness later identified Johnson as the suspect from a photo lineup.
"Investigators believe that Mr. Johnson may have sold other stolen trailers through ads placed on Craigslist or through personal contact with buyers," Lt. Tony Ivey with the sheriff's office said in a written statement.
Ivey wrote in an email that utility trailers are frequently stolen because many don't have a serial number or VIN number on them.
"Most trailers are painted a different color than the original color, making them hard to spot by law enforcement," he said.
Asked to list a few signs that someone might be selling stolen items, Ivey referred to the old saying: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
"Anytime someone is offering to sell you a product well below retail value, there is a chance it is a stolen item," Ivey said.
Anyone who might have bought a trailer or other items from Johnson is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC or call the Property Crimes Unit at 503-4597.

Invented by a father of six from the borough of Brooklyn, Cell Lock-Up is just that: a jail cell large enough to hold up to six cellphones at a time. It comes with bunk beds and stanchions, and, in the right circumstances, it makes a perfect conversation starter.
Ike Sutton certainly craved for peace and quiet around mealtime in his household when he had a brainstorm about two years ago. Like many parents, Sutton was tired of being distracted by cellphones going off during family quality time. Make that distracted with a capital D, since there were often at least six cellphones ringing at Sutton's dinner table.
"Everybody had a story on why they couldn't turn off their phone," said Sutton, 47. "I'm a creative guy, always trying to look for solutions to problems. This one struck a chord."
First, the born tinkerer and inventor-hobbyist developed a model of a jail cell. Then he shared his prototype with EB Brands in New York, where he worked as a consultant to develop and manufacture travel accessories, flashlights, barbeque tools and other gift ideas.
Sutton's boss liked the idea; testing and refinements followed, and the Cell Lock-Up recently hit the market. The product, priced at $19.99, is available at Bed Bath & Beyond, Sears and other retailers.
Here's how it works:
Say your teenage son is texting while you're waiting patiently for the salad and dressing to be passed. You take away the phone, and turn it off. But instead of putting it on the shelf until after dinner, you place it in the Lock-Up. Junior can see the phone - he just can't get it.
Sutton added a few fun touches to his product. You push a timer to 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes to sentence the phone behind bars, then a warden's voice announces the sentence as the cell door shuts.
Once the cellphone has served its time, the warden proclaims that "justice is served," and the cellphone is "free to rejoin digital society."
What if your teen tries to spring his phone before the rightful time? There's a gotcha moment.
An alarm sounds and a voice announces, "Alert, alert. Break-out in progress."
Sutton hopes his gadget will help end the mid-meal digital divide and maintain the peace. "It takes the edge off," Sutton said.
He also sees Cell Lock-Up as a way to instill "socially correct" phone etiquette among youngsters and adults alike. He's noticed an improvement in his own home.
"We use Cell Lock-Up on occasion; ... we still have those moments," he said. "But this is a more fun, easy way to get my message across."
Sutton is feeling inspired again. Next he wants to design a product that will solve another problem - texting while driving.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A British businessman who pleaded guilty to trying to buy missile parts and resell them to Iran is expected to learn his punishment.
Christopher Tappin is scheduled to appear before U.S. District Judge David Briones in El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday.
The 65-year-old pleaded guilty in November in a deal that calls for a 33-month prison sentence. The agreement opens the door for him to serve part of his sentence in Britain near his ailing wife.
Tappin's extradition to the U.S. in February 2012 touched a nerve in Britain, where many believe extradition arrangements with the United States are unfairly weighted against British citizens.
After his extradition, Tappin spent several weeks in a New Mexico jail and was later released on bond. He has since lived in Houston.

Ford is already on the NASCAR circuit with its latest sixth-generation Ford Fusion, now it has won a NASCAR award for applying its business skills as well.
Ford just won its second 2012 NASCAR Driving Business Award, presented in Las Vegas at the NASCAR Fuel for Business Council, which aims to help companies and organizations get more out of NASCAR sponsorships.
Ford is being saluted for creating more business-to-business relationships through the council, including having sold 5,500 vehicles to council members last year. It created a special program to foster the sales.
"As a proud member of the council, we are continuously developing new strategies to drive business and this platform has proven to be a particularly effective tool in generating positive return on investment," said Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.

(AllHipHop News) This September marks the 10th anniversary of the release of the last Outkast album Speakerboxx/The Love Below and Andre 3000 seems to be revving the engines back up for new music. In an Instagram video posted by go-to producer Mike Will Made It, Three Stacks and Mike are shown in the studio together presumably working on new music.
No official word on what capacity these two will be working in and if any music has been recording but the rarity of Andre 3000 photoed in the studio should elicit excitement. The last record Andre 3000 was apart of was Beyonce's "Party" off her 2011 album IV.
Check out the short video clip of the Mike Will Made It and Andre 3000 in the studio:

Policies & Procedures
Dance Studio:
- No food or beverages are allowed in the studios, except for water in a closed plastic container.
- Participants are highly encouraged to arrive to class on time. Late arriving participants may be denied entry to any class, at the instructor's discretion, due to the importance of a sufficient warm-up period.

- All equipment must remain in the studios and must be returned to its proper location after use. Equipment from other areas may not be brought into the studios. All equipment should be used for the manner for which it is designed.
- To enter a class, participants must wait outside of the of the studio until the instructor allows everyone inside. Please form lines going toward the end of the hallway; participants may not save spaces in line for friends or save equipment.
- Class entry is on a drop-in basis and will be open on a first-come, first-served basis. Class size is limited to 21 participants in Cycling classes, and 75 participants or instructor's discretion in all other classes.
- All Group Fitness classes are free and only require proper access to the facility.
- Intramural-Recreational Sports Department reserves the right to cancel any class on the basis of low attendance or registration.
Yoga Etiquette:
- Please do your best to arrive on time. The breath work at the beginning of class is crucial in allowing us to clear our minds of the daily clutter and prepare mentally for class. The warm-up series is extremely important. Practicing our Yoga Poses when muscles are adequately warm is proven to increase flexibility and greatly lowers the risk of injury.
- If you must arrive after class has begun, (door is closed) please wait for opening meditation to conclude, (when you hear movement) before entering and then do so as quietly as possible.
- Class will be closed to late commers 5 minutes after class has begun. The warm-up is extremely important in order to practice safely and without injury.
- Please turn cell phones OFF, no exceptions. There is no acceptable circumstance for a ringing cell phone during asana the class. Since we know that our yoga practice is about building stronger minds as well as bodies and learning to tune into our bodies communication, ringing cell phones can be very distracting to other participants.
- If you must leave class before the class is over, please take an early relaxation, which will alret the instructor of your planned early exit.
- We encourage you to bring your own yoga mat if attending consistently. The mast proviced are intended for participants new to yoga.
- Please wipe down borrowed mats after each use with gym wipes provided. This helps to cut down on the spread of germs and is respectful to the next person who uses that mat.
Indoor Cycling:
- Due to limited class size, please be on time to class. The warm-up is an important part of the class and aids in the prevention of injury. Lateness to class is both a safety issue and a distraction to others.
- At the end of class, each participant is required to wipe off the bike seat, handle bars, and frame. Please use the gym wipes provided in the Dance Studio.
- If you are new, pregnant, or have any injuries, please inform the instructor prior to class.
- Remember to always work at your own pace.

Home Safety: SERVPRO of Rockford offers fire prevention tips
Home Safety: SERVPRO of Rockford offers fire prevention tips
Staff Report
Safety is important all the time, but each year the National Safety Council designates June as National Safety Month to help focus the public's attention on critical safety issues. In support of this national awareness event, Charles Hare, owner of SERVPRO of Rockford in Rockford, reminds local homeowners to review all of the safety tips from the National Safety Council, including tips on preventing home fires.
"While most homeowners take at least the basic steps to protect against a fire," said Hare, "there are fire sources in homes that are frequently overlooked. For National Safety Month, we want to shine a spotlight on some of the causes of home fires associated with the coming summer season."
Clothes dryers
According to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), these everyday appliances are responsible for about 15,500 home fires every year, causing an average of 10 deaths each year, and more than $84.4 million in damage. Summer's warmer weather and outdoor activities can create additional laundry. Help prevent dryer fires by doing the following:
1. Controlling lint buildup — on the lint filter, the back of the machine and in the venting system.
2. Replacing plastic or vinyl vent hoses with a rigid or flexible metal venting system.
3. Drying only items that are approved and safe to be put in a dryer (not foam-backed rugs or athletic shoes).
Fire pits
These outdoor fireplaces add a warm touch to the season's al fresco entertaining, but they need to be handled with respect and caution. In their Seasonal Safety Tips, Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) recommends that homeowners keep the glow confined by:
1. Keeping these fireplaces at least 10 feet from any structure or flammable items.
2. Placing the unit on a solid surface, in an open area, away from overhanging trees or rooflines.
3. Never leaving the fireplace unattended.. Keep a fire extinguisher close at hand, avoid using lighter fluid to start or restart the fire and ensure any embers are completely extinguished before going inside.
Gas grills
The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) reports fire departments in the U.S. respond to an average of 8,200 grilling-related fire calls per year. Five out of six of these fires involved gas grills. As summer grilling season heats up, SERVPRO recommends that outdoor chefs keep these tips from UL in mind:
1. Position the grill outside, at a safe distance from the house. Never grill inside a garage or enclosed porch or under a breezeway, awning, carport or overhang that might catch fire.
2. Check the grill's propane hoses for cracks and brittleness, then trickle soapy water over the hoses and fittings. Look for bubbles that would indicate a propane leak, and address the problem before using the grill again.
3. Never light a gas grill with the lid closed. Keep a spray bottle filled with water handy to suppress flare-ups and a fire extinguisher close by for emergencies.
"House fires can happen anytime, in any season, so it's important to understand all the possible sources for a fire in your home," said Hare. "Prevention is still the best way to protect your home, your family and your investment. But if a fire does damage your home, SERVPRO is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide immediate response and advice that helps limit secondary damages and potential health risks."
SERVPRO of Rockford specializes in disaster restoration, cleanup and repair services, helping to remediate fire damage, making it "Like it never even happened," for both commercial and residential customers. SERVPRO of Rockford also offers wind and water damage mitigation, mold remediation, carpet and upholstery cleaning and other home-maintenance and restoration services.

The 10 Most Notorious Paranormal Hoaxes in History
Some might argue that everything that passes for "paranormal" is a hoax. (There's no fun in that, but insist if you must.) But even the biggest unexplained-phenomenon junkies have to admit when a fraud's a fraud ... as the 10 cases below will attest.

Maker's Mark Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Maker's Mark Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
By Kate Jennings, Chef & Owner, La Laiterie
Of all the recipes we tested, this one was at the top of our list because it's a grown-up take on a childhood favorite. The cupcakes are the perfect spice cake with a nose of bourbon, and the cream cheese frosting makes it hard to eat just one.
Servings: 12
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Ready In:
Cook Time:
Ready In:
- 1/4 cup Maker's Mark Bourbon®
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- For Maker's Mark® Cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
- Sift all dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg. Put aside for later use.
- Cream 8 tablespoons butter and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition and beating well.
- Add the molasses and mix well.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the batter.
- Add the Maker's Mark® Bourbon, stirring well with a spoon/spatula. The batter will look thin and slightly broken.
- Fill the cupcake liners almost to the top and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out cleanly when tested.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely, about 20 minutes, before frosting.
- For Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting, beat the softened cream cheese well, in a large bowl or stand mixer, using a wooden spoon or paddle attachment.
- Add 6 tablespoons softened butter.
- Continue to beat until well mixed in with the cream cheese.
- Add the powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Beat until well incorporated.
- Refrigerate until needed and allow to soften at room temperature before using.

Robert Pattinson Heats Up Hollywood
Robert Pattinson shows off his "New Hollywood Award" with actress Camilla Belle (in Giorgio Armani) backstage during the Hollywood Film Festival's Gala Ceremony held at Beverly Hilton Hotel on Monday. (He later hit up the Starz after-party.)
Other Film Festival Awards included: Clint Eastwood for Director of the Year, Dustin Hoffman for the Hollywood Career Achievement Award, and Josh Brolin for Actor of the Year.
"I kind of knew that some people liked [the books] in the beginning," Pattinson said of his latest movie Twilight. "I was trying to play [Edward Cullen] as a character and I wasn't trying to play him as this fantasy figure. I was trying to play him as realistically as I could, so hopefully that works."
10+ more pics inside of Robert Pattinson heating up Hollywood…

In the same vein as my blog post about Syncing your calendars, I wanted to post how to sync your contacts in Outlook, Gmail (Google Contacts), and iPhone:
- Transfer your Outlook contacts to Gmail via Transfer contacts between Outlook and Google Gmail
- In Gmail, remove the duplicates via the option Find and merge duplicates. Gmail will now have a nice clean list of all your contacts
- Sync Outlook and Gmail with software such as Contacts Sync or GO Contact Sync Mod. If you are a business, you could instead use Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook, but it is not free (it is for premier accounts). Now Outlook will have a nice clean list of all your contacts
- Follow the steps at Setting up Google Sync with your iOS device (or Sync contacts with your iOS device if using iOS version 5). The result is that on your iPhone, you will be using the Gmail Contacts account, so contacts added on the Gmail site will automatically appear on your iPhone, and contacts added to your iPhone will automatically appear on your Gmail site. Now your iPhone will have a nice clean list of all your contacts
- On your iPhone, set the contacts account default to Gmail
- Don't use iCloud, as Gmail will be acting as your "cloud"
- If you have the LinkedIn app installed, you can download all your LinkedIn connections to your default contacts account (which should be Gmail). I would recommend against doing this, as it will create duplicate contacts (since it does not merge LinkedIn names with your iPhone contacts). Plus, do you really need all your LinkedIn connections on your iPhone? The same goes for the Facebook app which has the same option. And of course all the contacts would be added to Gmail. I think the only benefit is that the profile pictures of all your contacts would be downloaded
So there you go! Following these steps your contacts in Outlook, Gmail (Google Contacts), and iPhone will all be synced. Add, edit, or delete a contact in one, and all the others will be updated in seconds.
