Ray Bradbury( Gary Friedman / Los Angeles Times )
With more than 27 novels and 600 short stories, the sci-fi writer's vividly rendered space-scapes provided the world with one of the most enduring speculative blueprints for the future. In "The Martian Chronicles" and other works, the L.A.-based Bradbury mixed small-town familiarity with otherworldly settings. He was 91. Full obituary

FLINT -- The North End Soup Kitchen prepares long before their doors open. Manning the utensils are volunteers willing to make a difference.
"Well i have two children in the military and i am home by myself this Christmas and my daughter is in Miami doing this and inspired me to do it," said volunteer Tom Fries.
Regardless the reason its the volunteers who make each meal possible.
"Christmas day is always special for us mainly because obviously it is Christmas but it's the volunteers and the people that come here to help that makes it even more special," said John Manse from the North End Soup Kitchen.
Residents coming in for a hot meal, gifts and Santa.
"It's all because of the 70 volunteers I have. If we didn't have them we would just be serving like we always do," said Manse.
Each mouth fed, and every stomach full, the North End Soup Kitchen is giving what others don't already have.
"Thank you and happy holidays," said Cornell Young of Flint.
Today's success is a reminder of the need we face each day and the hardships we may overcome by working together.

A new-school synth with maximum expression capabilities and lots of power.
Roland's original V-Synth set a high standard for expressive synthesis and sound design, and all of that power is distilled into the 61-key V-Synth GT. This completely modern and unique instrument injects the V-Synth's famous Elastic Audio Synthesis engine with revolutionary Articulative Phrase Synthesis technology for unprecedented expression and realism as well as unlimited sound design potential.
Multi-core synthesis
By integrating a dual-core V-Synth engine, the V-Synth GT can combine Elastic Audio Synthesis, Vocal Designer technology, and AP-SYNTHESIS in real time. Roland's proprietary VariPhrase technology is also integrated into the V-Synth GT. Together with its analog-modeling engine, External Audio input, and digital sampling architecture, the V-Synth GT provides an incredibly wide and colorful foundation on which to capture, manipulate and create sounds.
AP synthesis
The V-Synth GT is the first synthesizer in the world equipped with AP (Articulative Phrase) synthesis. This revolutionary form of modeling recreates the ever-changing behavior, nuance, and sound of an instrument as it's being played. The results are stunningly expressive and realistic, and can be applied to acoustic instrument simulation as well as new, never-before-heard sounds.
Speed programming
Serious sound designers will love the complexity and editing depth of the V-Synth GT, but there are many instances where musicians need fresh sounds fast—and that's the beauty of Sound Shaper II. Based on the original Sound Shaper, this enhanced mode lets you choose a sound type, then it brings the most relevant parameters directly to the surface. You'll be creating sounds in seconds!
Futuristic design
The V-Synth GT is a top-of-the-line instrument. No corners were cut in creating its futuristic yet friendly layout and design. Front panel features include a color touch-screen with eight universal control knobs and dedicated buttons and sliders to make access faster and easier.

{The yellow slip inserted in the title page reads as follows :}
We beg forgiveness from all the natives of Zawiercie and its environs whom we have embarrassed by any error, skipping of a name, or any other thing which we have overlooked when putting together this book
The Committee and Editorial Board
[Title page]
Editor: Sh. Spivak
(With the participation of the editorial board and the board of the organization)
Published by the Organization of Natives of Zawiercie and its Environs, Tel Aviv, 5618 (1958)
[Page 2]
With awe, we present our Yizkor book to the community. It is clear to us that a book is insufficient to express the depth of agony, pain, protest, and natural tendency toward revenge of a community, the vast majority of whose population and structure was annihilated during the 20th century in such a terribly cruel fashion. However, we, the people of Israel, are the People of the Book. It is therefore natural that our monument should first and foremost be a book. Until the great and awesome Day of Judgment, which will and must come, we will write of the atrocities [committed by the German Nazis] for our sake and for the sake of future generations.
In Israel we are connected to the book, but also to the sword. We, the People of Israel, have learned from the disasters suffered by our people. We will no longer stand defenseless before an enemy, as our tormented martyrs did during Hitler's era. Nevertheless, we cannot forgo the traditional weapon of our nation the book as an implement of protest and struggle against the annihilators of the People of Israel and the Israeli nation.
Therefore, let this book of ours serve as a monument over the mass grave of our holy nation of a community of dear, peaceful, diligent, straightforward, G-d fearing and Torah observant Jews, over whose heads hovered the sharpened, cruel axe of the mass murderers the likes of which have not been seen in all the history of the human race.
We spared no effort to ensure that this book would have great impact both in terms of its external form and its content. We took care that the uniqueness of the character of Zawiercie would be given full expression, despite the modest means that we had at our disposal.
We hereby express the hope that our book will find approval as a serious historical work.
We thank all of those who assisted us in the publication of this book.

[Page 5]
In this Yizkor book to the martyrs of Zawiercie we will be united with the memory of our dear ones -- our parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, friends and acquaintances, natives of Zawiercie and the surrounding area. They were tortured, abused, crushed, tossed about by the violent hand of the wild beasts, sent to the gas chambers and death camps to be snuffed out and annihilated.
We will never forget them. With sorrow and heartache let us recite Kaddish
[Page 6]
The survivors of Zawiercie, who despite enduring torture and many difficulties, were saved from the destruction, gathered in the city of Straubing, and dedicated on 24 Av 5706 (summer of 1946) two memorial plaques in the Straubing synagogue in memory of the martyrs of Zawiercie. A photo of one of the two plaques is presented here.
[Page 7]
The list of the names on this plaque will be printed in another section of this book.
I am honored that, several months ago, our community charged me with the task of editing a book of memory and testimony for the holy community of Zawiercie and its environs based both upon material that was collected over three years, and the material (which forms the majority) that I myself have collected over the past several months.
There are pluses, in that the editor of such a book is a native of the city, but there are also minuses. The pluses are that he knows the material thoroughly, has the ability to discern between important and unimportant material, possesses a love of the topic, etc. The possible minuses include excessive subjectivity, delving too far into issues that are trivial to the eyes of an outsider, and a biased opinion.
In this matter, I attempted to follow the middle course and preserve appropriate proportions to the extent that such is possible with the exception of issues that are beyond the control of the editor. I have delved into the past to confirm any activity of a native of the city and any unique event mentioned. It is clear that many things, perhaps even very important things, were not included in the following surveys and memoirs. I beg the apology of the readers for any such unintentional omissions, which are due to the restricted time frame that was allotted to me.
With my meager resources, I have made efforts to ensure that the style of the content in both languages would be variegated and balanced for everybody. At first, it was our intention to provide brief summaries of each article in the other of the two languages that are used in this book. However, there was no time to do so. I would have been forced to significantly edit or rewrite the material from scratch (including the poems). I ask the forgiveness of the readers for this.
Names of towns and people are generally written in the style that was used by our martyrs of Zawiercie. The name of the city itself is written in Hebrew transliteration (except in the title page of the book for technical reasons).
I attempted to avoid duplication of material in the book, although, that was not always possible. From the amount of material on an individual in this book, one should not make any assumptions regarding the importance of that person within the Zawiercie Jewish society. Some information on important personalities and events is written in an incidental way, as there was no one to review them appropriately. In the book, a great deal is written about the uniqueness of Zawiercie, our beloved and dear city, and we do not need to repeat this in the introduction.
[Page 10]
The book is dedicated to the martyrs of the Holocaust. It is therefore no wonder that a great deal of space is allotted in our book to that frightful era, and there is some repetition on occasion. However, any experience of a Zawiercie native from the blood drenched Nazi period is precious to us. Every word, every letter, is an outcry a combined outcry of pain and anger. The heart is pained when reading any such line, and there is no room for the nitpicking of an editor.
I feel that I have not fulfilled my obligation if I failed to point out the many efforts of the members of the organizing committee: Yosef Finkel, Shimon Feigenblatt, Nachum Drezner, David Brott, Yoel Grinkraut, and the late secretary of the organization A. Zaks. They all worked and toiled so that the book will be released, despite the difficulties. I especially express my gratitude to Sh. Feigenblatt (the chairman of the organizing committee) and Nachum Drezner, who pushed aside their personal affairs and dedicated a great deal of time to the book.
I also note with gratitude the activities of the editorial committee (Moshe-Mietek Neiman of Ramat Hakovesh and Aharon Rosenzweig of Givat Hashlosha) and especially the dedicated work of M. Neiman. Of course, thanks are due to all of those who graced the book with the fruits of their pen.
It is appropriate to specially note the following Holocaust and historical-literary research institutions: Yad Vashem, the Israeli Historical Institute of Jerusalem, the Rambam Library of Tel Aviv, the Shaarei Zion library of Tel Aviv, the University Library (the National Library) of Jerusalem, the Havodah Archives of Tel Aviv, and other research institutions that politely provided the necessary research material at my disposal. The directors of Yad Vashem and the Israeli Historical Institute gave me access to microfilms that had recently arrived from Poland and the United States. We were assisted by material that was sent to us by the Jewish Historical Institute of Warsaw, under the directorship of Professor B. Mark.

-- there's always this -- about the great partisan divide among news personalities in the stand eight.
Everyone looking for -- of unbiased journalism who knows hearken back -- guy.
But after reading -- -- new book on the life of Walter Cronkite.
I wonder why that is.
It's just president of -- Douglas Brinkley.
Points and paints a very different image of the man we -- numerous most trusted man in America.
Well Walter Cronkite was a man of his age and non meaning during you've started really groping Kansas city Texas Houston.
The work for the wire services and military you served in World War II was a -- the bold -- would be with the print reporter but remember you were all in this together.
As a print reporting had a biases and they were hardly -- previous biases came forward really in the 1960s over to Vietnam -- war and he was for Vietnam in 65 he went over there and -- I think America's doing the right thing but the Tet offensive he -- -- 68.
But all over country came back and famously.
Went on non CBS special report and said it's a stalemate may have been doesn't look like we could win.
And it I'll turn to Lyndon Johnson and MacNamara Westmoreland suddenly Cronkite -- -- And it had an impact and -- and -- -- -- -- strong -- America but you know if it if the talent of any.
Sort even approaching his his rank.
Tried that today.
If you rightly called on the carpet and it was to do you know but do remember reporters never showed Franklin Roosevelt in the wheelchair and you're ready do John F Kennedy's affairs.
It was so organizational about them or there was a club where they just didn't they didn't.
-- considered ghost and I think Watergate changed all that suddenly reporters made the reputations.
Not by being Scotty Reston being embedded.
With the establishment of breaking loose and doing investigative you reveal far bigger things of Cronkite that it you know securing.
And I never heard this -- -- -- -- but.
-- This -- and hope for flights for he and his family that alone.
You know what this place was aware my exclusive contract with Duncan donuts stopped it.
But that attack at a candidate blacks aren't but that was a big deal and and and it is bosses did get a little that it -- about it but.
-- -- Well they didn't fire movers -- what happened was -- think because he had done military aviation while techies to work for an airlines industry back in Kansas City.
And covered the year industry a lot -- he went on a junket what you call it and eventually was caught up -- Walter you what are you doing you can't take.
He can't take it from pan am of them promotes space and things like you're doing.
So he if he were several moment he should have been fired that was it -- he was to put -- you -- -- -- critical stories on pan -- gnome but some of the human pan -- later added to financial troubles.
They were his shortest ever they were his friend's home and -- you see -- that's what apart I only wanted to telling -- this is that.
On the right anything like that -- even inference -- any talent here.
Game over.
It was accepted that I was that's not -- That's not that was the way it was back in in that era but it and that's slightly altered and I must admit that's why Nixon and Agnew win after the Big Three they were worried about time.
ABC CBS and NBC out of New York controlling.
On the media they did it quite clumsily when they try -- you know I've listened to Nixon tapes with Colson trying to get Walter Cronkite.
The big big broken down the end with the birth of cable news send them the right when Cronkite -- CBS and 81 scene and came in the mine 96 Foxit.
Now it's a much more diversified world.
We'll never be again a moment when you have an uncle Walter Cronkite one person that's being -- in in influencing so many people many holistic what do you have to say he had to retire early much sooner than he wanted to because this upstart Dan rather.
Who is emerging arm.
Yet for all the competition they had similar.
Largely anti Republican -- Dan rather very critical of Richard Nixon and it's critical press conferences.
And feisty relationship is so so -- -- -- -- Politico.
That it seemed to me against the level politically there were similar.
Cronkite and rather than not -- with personality.
-- have a lot of Republican friends on he was great prince George trooper walker bush Ronald Reagan -- Walter Cronkite has the most started in radio together.
On -- didn't have Republican friends so Cronkite was hard not to like cut that avuncular -- -- router didn't have rather than have that all right so.
What was it with -- that he just resented.
Rather being foisted on people -- He did not like he thought he was going to be able to be like come be a part time coming into doing special reports -- the rather crowd literally on took his desk and chopped it up in coverage of his chair off.
Didn't -- any remnant of Cronkite it was not a you know it's hard when you have those.
Passing of the torch that this was an awful one in Crockett is grew -- bitterness and animosity towards rather he actually set a -- of of Cronkite he.
Dan rather week's events in -- -- in sincerity.
Home -- view is I had -- curl up and take the kicks from Walter Cronkite the guy who.
Quick too soon enough for a -- -- -- rather magnanimous in his comments -- you about the rampant he was he was seem to have not wonderful help to me in interviews and you know remember they had some great collaborative moments together the Kennedy assassination.
Dan rather and Rosie doesn't exist in nearly to the degree of no we didn't because you know while -- but he knows and he told me all about and everywhere every lesson you learn about us -- -- that -- -- of the issue with.
Cronkite apparently was big into is I want some authoritative.
Don't put me in an embarrassing situation.
That was a big deal how he looked at triple source Cronkite was better at making sure he never like to go first he wanted to have -- right.
Wire service reporter so he was like a jaguar hear those old bells go off.
Ripping you Pete is careful with the JFK assassination -- he tried to be careful all but it got to the point it didn't matter as much when she got the Nixon years because the entire fourth estate was against Richard Nixon.
And Cronkite you say there is really give us.
All of -- all sorts of media biases but it's a diversified I don't know it's the media looks back at Walter -- -- and gives them -- They do with Edward.
Arm because it's a good question but you know bill paley of CBS was so Eisenhower Republican who -- CVS thing.
In Crockett was very good -- -- where he had trouble was with the Goldwater in in 64 Cronkite.
Reagan dealt with Cronkite well what Walter did was personal -- -- home -- sentinel grudges and they both told a joke this.
That yes they hope that they -- was a joke.
Guy you know he would do strip -- accept parties yeah that was unsettling if I try and all the did reveal read regularly and he would go have the drinks and he's Asian and Reagan joined -- well but they'd like to tell jokes -- a photo in the book of Reagan.
I'll all of them laughing that that famous photograph taken the White House -- Cronkite telling the dirty joke.
He was ultimately a -- -- Establishment terror -- -- but he showed Israel left wing left callers not after he left office did not left sailing with Bill Clinton any kind of let them -- -- -- it was for Bill Clinton very much so and then also was against -- George W Bush's -- gulf war -- that we -- world -- -- -- -- -- -- column before he -- For -- syndicate just.
Denouncing George W.
Bush left and right calling the worst president.
Well and so as he GA things you don't know that we idolize and some -- that we saw him in an ideal world.
And he wants.
-- course we did in because in the sixties nobody trusted anybody nobody trusted Lyndon Johnson or Nixon.
The youth generation didn't like -- old people and there was Walter Cronkite Monday through Friday kind of steady -- On the TV and you know you go see the George Clooney or Brad Pitt movie -- -- by one -- -- the year for two hours.
He had to live with Cronkite every night.
He he wore well on people because that a -- that they cadence he actually slowed his commentary down unlike me I talked fast.
He would go down a break it down it.
And though he was a managing editor was quite -- inundated.
It -- Those Frankel thank you very very much.
The definitive book on on our guys say when I -- -- -- very thick book I don't mind I got to get ready for doubles and I love him dearly -- -- Phenomenal it's phenomenal book the strip thing.
That's a freebie that's -- -- of more of -- thanks.

This time last year, Brian Burke was secretly flying to Sweden in hopes of signing the Sedin twins.
Vancouver GM Mike Gillis beat him to the punch, but Burke was unfazed and quickly signed defencemen Francois Beauchemin and Mike Komisarek as well as enforcer Colton Orr, and also used the trip to do a little extra work on what turned out to be the successful courtship of goalie Jonas Gustavsson.
This year, Burke is staying put in North America - Boston, actually - but he could be just as active. Or more active.
Obviously, he's got the trading of defenceman Tomas Kaberle still to get done, and the market will likely intensify after teams find out what they can get from free agency over the next few days. There are still whispers of discussions with the Boston Bruins over the services of centre Marc Savard as well.
But who the Leafs will go after hard on Thursday when the market opens is still unclear.
With Kaberle set to be dealt, a defenceman is a priority and Dan Hamhuis is at the top of the list, although many are confused as to what Hamhuis is looking for after his rights were dealt to Philadelphia and then Pittsburgh in recent days, and he chose to sign with neither team.
A surprising name out there will be blueliner Paul Martin, who most expected to see re-sign with the New Jersey Devils after playing only 22 games last season because of a fractured arm. Martin is a multi-talented, underrated player who would have crossed Burke's radar because of his involvement with the U.S. Olympic program. If Hamhuis goes elsewhere, the Leafs might have interest in Martin, although his price tag might be high after he made $4.5 million with the Devils last season.
The Leafs missed out on Mike Cammalleri last summer and ended up trading for Phil Kessel instead. They hope to get a forward out of trading Kaberle, but they may be interested in some of the mid-range free agent wingers, particularly those with a bit of bite to their game. Raffi Torres and Colby Armstrong are two sandpaper-like players out there, and Armstrong might fit the Leafs' need. Ethan Moreau was a possibility until his rights were traded to Columbus, and there might be some interest in Calgary winger Eric Nystrom, who scored 11 goals and made $775,000 with the Flames last year.

Thanks everyone! I did some researching what our dr said happened - I don't even remember the words until the middle of the night. Blighted Ovum. That's what she called it.
And the research is... Comforting. Does that make sense? I also found some great Men's blogs on miscarriage. It's helping me to understand my husband. And it helped him to read them and understand that he's not alone in this.
We're supposed to have another snow storm tonight. I just hope that it doesn't impact our procedure tomorrow. I just want to be able to stop worrying.
Thanks again! You have all been so supportive!Mom to Weston Christopher, b. 2008

Thank you J.J. Abrams for not only meeting my expectations with Star Trek, but also surpassing them. You are now the saving grace behind the franchise and you gave it a much-needed dose of adrenaline. Through all the years that I've liked Star Trek, I've never experienced a mass communities excitement over a new film set in that universe. Usually people would mock it and often associate its fan base with being "nerds" or "dorks." Especially in the past seven years, Star Trek was at a low point. The last film, Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) was the lowest grossing film of the franchise and its last remaining TV Show, "Star Trek: Enterprise" was canceled in 2005. There was little interest by the public and it appeared Star Trek would just be a celebrated franchise of the past. Thanks to director Abrams, I can now (for the first time) talk about Star Trek with anyone and not feel embarrassed about it.
I loved this movie. Loved it. I'm perhaps saying this because I'm a huge fan, but anyone will enjoy this. This Trek takes a different approach, by making the characters more human than before. Abrams (not a "trekkie," but actually a Star Wars fan) had the right idea by taking the characters of Kirk, Spock etc. and focusing on their younger lives, before they joined Starfleet. We are already familiar with these characters and we get a chance to see them when they were young, reckless, inexperienced and only on the verge of greatness. Of course, how can younger audiences be familiar with these characters when they weren't exposed to the shows? Easy, Abrams plays it loyal to the original show, but starts from the beginning of everything so we become familiar with the characters at the start of their lives. We all start from the beginning.
When a Starship named the U.S.S Kelvin is investigating a strange black hole, it's mysteriously attacked by a huge ship coming from the hole. When the Kelvin asks the mystery ship about the unprovoked attack, they respond by asking the captain, Richard Robau (Faran Tahir), to come aboard. Robau meets Nero (Eric Bana), a Romulan miner bent on revenge. Robau is unfamiliar with Nero's questioning and is killed as the Romulan ship continues its attack on the U.S.S. Kelvin. The acting captain, George Kirk, takes control of the Kelvin and orders the evacuation of the ship, including his pregnant wife. When his son is born during the evacuation, he names him James Tiberius Kirk. Kirk Sr. collides with the Romulan ship on a suicide mission to give the rest of the crew time to get away. It's revealed that the Romulans were accidentally sucked into the black hole while their home world, Romulas, was destroyed by a supernova. The Romulans, who were from the 24th century, realize they're 154 years in the past and can't get back. Before the time warp, Nero was seeking revenge on Ambassador Spock (Leonard Nimoy) after he failed to save Romulas.
Twenty years after the Kelvin attack, an older Kirk (Chris Pine) is convinced by Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) to join Starfleet. Spock (Zachary Quinto) also joins Starfleet because he doesn't feel fully accepted by the Vulcan culture, since he's half human. While at Starfleet, Kirk meets and befriends Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban) and Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana). After beating the impossible Kobayashi Maru test (a Starship bridge simulation test), Kirk is accussed of cheating (which he did) by Spock (who programmed it) and must stand before the Academy to await his punishment. This is one of the few times where Abrams actually references an older Star Trek movie, which talked about Kirk cheating the Kobayashi Maru in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. During the hearing, Starfleet receives a distress call from Vulcan (Spock's home world) that they're under attack from an unknown ship. Kirk is suspended indefinitely and the rest of the cadets are rushed into action aboard the brand new U.S.S. Enterprise (which hasn't even had a maiden voyage). Kirk, wanting to get into the action, becomes a fake patient of McCoy's and he manages to sneak aboard the Enterprise. While on board, Captain Pike discovers Kirk and promotes him to first officer, since he had a terrific tactical record at the Academy. Spock is also promoted to captain in case something ever happens to Pike. Kirk recognizes the similarities between the attack of the Kelvin and Vulcan and warns the crew that the Romulans are behind it. The Enterprise must travel to Vulcan to stop the attack during which Kirk and Spock are uneasy with each other.
Star Trek will certainly rank at No. 2 on my "From First to Worst" list of the Star Trek films. It is also the first Star Trek movie to features the Romulans as the principal antagonists, despite them being the longest running de facto alien villains of the TV series. I was really impressed with Eric Bana as Nero. You feel for him, but also hate him at the same time. Chris Pine is a good Kirk and didn't do any William Shatner impressions. I can't say he's better than Shatner, but we'll see over time, as he develops the character in future reprisals. He portrays Kirk on a new level and it's good to see the character young again, not an overweight captain who wears a "Go Climb a Rock" t-shirt (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier). Karl Urban is eye-popping as McCoy. Not only did he quote famous lines like "God damn it Jim," but he also has the same speech delivery and body mannerisms as the original McCoy, DeForest Kelly. Urban did mimic Kelly, yes, but did it so well that it works in his favor. He was very funny and definitely one of the brightest parts of the movie. The best performance, however, goes to Zachary Quinto as Spock. He looks like a younger Leonard Nimoy reincarnated, but plays it better than Nimoy ever has. Quinto's Spock is a lot darker and edgier, which easily makes him the most interesting character. Nimoy returns as an older Spock (Spock Prime) and I got chills when I saw the legendary character return to the big screen. Nimoy plays Spock as cool and intellectual as ever and I was glad Abrams made him a major character and didn't reduce him to a stupid cameo. Simon Pegg as Scotty and Anton Yelchin as Chekov also provide the movie with some humor. I did, however, think Zoe Saldana's portrayal of Uhura is weak, as it's forced and actually made her come across as a bitch.
The effects are good (provided by Industrial Light and Magic), but the true visuals were the actors. They made us fall in love with the characters all over again and even improved on some of them, mainly Kirk and Spock. Abrams focuses on the most important element of Star Trek, the characters, and it paid off. Yes, it's an action-oriented Star Trek and it has mind-blowing special effects, but it's the characters that ultimately draw us in. Once again, thank you J.J. Abrams for making a once proud franchise, proud again.

Bank of Cyprus sees bad loans rise sharply | |||||||||||||||||||
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- The number of bad loans held by Cyprus' largest bank rose sharply to 48 percent in the third quarter of this year from 36 percent at the end of the previous three-month period as the bailed-out country's battered economy continued to shrink. Bank of Cyprus CEO John Hourican said Wednesday that bad loans will rise as the economy continues to whither in the wake of a financial rescue deal the country agreed with international creditors in March that gutted its banking sector. But he said there are indications that they're starting to stabilize. Hourican said the bank will aggressively pursue what it's owed. Recovered money will enable new loans to jump start an economy projected to shrink a cumulative 13 percent this year and next. © 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

In the Cold Light of Day is also available on DVD this week.
Colin Farrell is Marty, a struggling screenwriter trying to come up with the next big script. Though he's on the straight-and-narrow, Marty gets dragged into a web of criminal activity by his eccentric friend Bill (Sam Rockwell). Bill and his partner (Christopher Walken) run a dog-stealing racket, and when they steal from the wrong guy (Woody Harrelson), the consequences turn out to be dire — also, pretty funny. It's a wacky premise, but it makes for a good time, especially thanks to Walken's performance. Featurettes are included with the DVD.
Adam Sandler leads an all-star voice cast as Count Dracula, founder of a hidden getaway for supernatural creatures. On his daughter Mavis's (Selena Gomez's) 118th birthday, he invites a whole host of monsters up to the resort to celebrate. Things take a turn when a human (Andy Samberg) shows up at the front door and falls for Mavis. The family film is imaginative enough for kids, but adults may be underwhelmed. The DVD comes with a minimovie, deleted scenes, commentary, and a music video.

The Finance Leadership Network will bring together key individuals within Welsh public bodies to promote joint working and share best practice ideas.
Around 130 finance leaders representing a wide range of organisations, from police authorities to health boards, will make up the network set up by the Welsh Government and backed by the European Social Fund.
Announcing the funding Jane Hutt said:
"We are determined to maximise every pound spent in delivering public services. This network is a key commitment to help public services reforms.
"As well as supporting joint working amongst finance leaders, it will help develop innovative approaches to common problems across a variety of different organisations in order to promote best practice and ensure better value for money. I am pleased we have been able to back this initiative with EU funds."
The latest funding comes as the Network prepares to meet for a national conference at Glyndwr University today. The conference will highlight how, through working in partnership, the Welsh public finance community can collectively develop financial leadership improvements.
Among the activities being set up by the project is a transformational leadership programme tailored for Welsh needs to help enhance key skills. In addition, the network will continue to work collaboratively on key developments and improvements through regional and national conferences, events and training as well as a web forum to engage with finance leaders.
Umar Hussain, Director of Finance, South Wales Police who took part in the pilot leadership programme and is a key steering group member for the network said:
"The Senior Finance Person in each public sector organisation has a very important role in maximising value for money and improving services for citizens. This network and the opportunities it provides can help them make that real difference."
Another pilot participant, Helen MacArthur, Head of Finance, Legal and Risk Services, NHS Wales Shared Service Partnership, said:
"Meeting finance colleagues in other public sector areas and understanding their funding priorities and challenges enables us to have a common understanding and share best practice and ideas."

In this in-depth documentary, Academy Award-nominee Don Cheadle ("Hotel Rwanda," "Crash") examines genocide in Sudan's western region and takes a closer look at the consequences of the conflict between the Sudanese government sponsored militia group known as Janjaweed and the various rebel groups that are comprised of mostly civilians. The results are hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of people displaced throughout neighboring countries seeking refuge. With this huge crisis taking place, nations have been slow to aide and assist the suffering civilians, but have been slowly coming to aide. This film is a call to action for people everywhere to help stop the genocide in Darfur, as it follows the struggles and achievements of six very different individuals bring to light the situation in Darfur and illustrate the absolute need to get involved.

The story of the birth of the modern Women's Movement. The hour is framed by two important publications — The Feminine Mystique and Ms. Magazine — and by the women who authored them: Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem. When Friedan's book came out in 1963, millions of American women had become uneasy under the constraints of 1950s post-war culture, which confined them to the home or to low-paying, dead-end jobs. The Feminine Mystique was, in the words of one reviewer, "a brick through the rose colored picture window of the American suburban bungalow." At the same time, another group of women — younger and more radical — were emerging from the anti-war and civil rights movements determined to achieve their own revolution in American society. By the time Steinem founded Ms. Magazine in the early 1970s, these two streams of women had converged to create the modern Women's Movement. Pivotal moments range from the early legal challenges brought by flight attendants and a rural Georgia telephone operator to the protests at the Miss America pageant and the takeover of the offices of Ladies Home Journal. It is a story filled with the spirit, humor and courage of a revolutionary generation.
A focused look at the workplace, where individual women crashed through the glass ceiling, and to the courts, where they waged a battle against the "hidden injuries" of battery, harassment and rape. Two women — in very different ways — asserted women's control over their own bodies. When Anita Hill reluctantly stepped forward to accuse Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment, she brought the issue out of the shadows. At the same time, pop superstar Madonna asserted a naked and aggressive sexuality, outside the control of men. However, even as the Movement achieved long-sought goals, a new generation of women were re-evaluating some of its most basic assumptions, especially the balance between work and family. By the 2000s, the movement was again under attack from conservatives seeking to rollback abortion and contraception laws, and by younger women fleeing the very word "feminism." But the Movement is far from over, as new fronts in the struggle have opened up, especially overseas.
The Women's Movement begins to break out of the campuses and urban centers where it originated to affect nearly every man, woman and child in America.

Following backlash from the Republican National Committee, NBC expressed doubts theHillary Clinton miniseries will ever go to production.
"The Hillary Clinton movie has not been ordered to production, only a script is being written at this time," NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt told Deadline in a statement. "It is 'in development', the first stage of any television series or movie, many of which never go to production. Speculation, demands, and declarations pertaining to something that isn't created or produced yet seem premature."
Fox TV Studios and NBC failed to reach a deal for the studio to produce the upcoming Hillary Clinton miniseries, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

President Barack Obama sat down with Jay Leno on Tuesday night where the two chatted about his recent lunch with Hillary Clinton, his "bromance" with Senator John McCain, the Trayvon Martin case and more.
After talking politics and policy, Leno got right to business asking about his recent meeting with possible future presidential candidate Clinton. "Who invited who to lunch?" Leno asked. "I invited her... And we had a great time," Obama said. "She had that post-administration glow. You know, when folks leave the White House, like two weeks later they look great." Joking about Clinton taking over, Leno added, "Did you notice her measuring the drapes or anything like that?" "Keep in mind she's been there before," Obama said. "She doesn't have to measure them."
The Republication National Committee is doing whatever it can to make sure potential Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doesn't get any special treatment.

Hello There banana munchas! My roommate and I eat high carb low fat vegan but usually eat some cooked potatoes beans pasta rice that sort of thing at night. (still working on keeping it completely raw everyday :]) I have no stomach or digestive issues I'm aware of but recently my roommate has been complaining about his stomach pushing out and looking full all the time. It isn't painful or anything but just looks like he is pushing it out when he isn't. I hope someone has a similar experience so i can help him out. THANKS A BUNCH!
It's the cooked foods.
Once you cut them out the bloating goes away.
Thanks for the quick response. That makes a lot of sense. If he was to eat a cooked meal from time to time would potatoes and beans beat rice? It should only be a couple more weeks before we are completely raw but in the meantime...
You should cut out all cooked foods and eat completely Raw. I hope this helps! :-)
This is called starch belly. Starches are complex carbohydrates, can only be broken down into glucose promoting elevated blood sugar and elevated insulin levels of which insulin is the fat storage hormone. In contrast to that, fruits contain simple sugars like fructose of which there is little or no insulin release, and fructose can be broken down into other metabolites as needed by the liver. Only minimal insulin is required in glucose transport.
Other problem with starchy foods and potatoes include:
Vitamin C and Nutrient Deficiencies
Cooking Decreases Nutrients
Common Toxins in Starchy Foods
Importance of Calcium
Poor Calcium Phosphorus Ratios
High in Protein
High Blood Sugar and Hyperinsulinsm
Promotion of Weight Gain
Problems With Whole Grains
Starchy Foods and Oral Problems

Potatoes are high in the alkaloid solanine which can cause digestive upsets.
Cruciferous, Tuber, and Starchy Vegetables Not Recommended
While some of these vegetables are not against guidelines, they have made some of our members ill and are not recommended as optimum foods.
For optimum digestion, avoid cruciferous veggies like broccoli, kale, spinach, and cauliflower, and root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and tubers, starchy vegetables like beets, grains and bread, and most processed foods.
These foods are high in oxalate which is an irritant causing problems such as burning mouth and throat during consumption, sour stomach, stomach pains, diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, acne and skin eruptions, possible hair thinning and loss, blood in stools, high uric acid, arthritis, kidney stones and kidney problems, urinary pain and or problems, and or slowed digestion which makes it difficult to eat enough calories during the day.
For optimum results and digestion on this diet, consult this list:
Good luck and I hope your buddy feels better soon. Peace, PK
Slightly off topic, but-
Starchy foods promote weight gain? What about DR saying that all carbs are good for weight loss? I'm sure he said that in at least one of his videos..
I should clarify, promote weight gain in some sensitive individuals. I think what DR is trying to do is help people overcome their carbohydrate fears, and to give people a back up option in case if they do not have access to ripe fruit and greens. Instead of starving, eating SAD, or animal products, these are second best foods.
However, DR and the whole 30BaD say these are not optimal foods and or health promoting, these are emergency foods.
Eating potatoes one time every once in a while will probably not cause harm, but in sensitive individuals such as myself and the OP's roommate, belly fat and weight gain can occur if they are eaten excessively.
I have explained a little bit why in this blog post:

Christmas would not be the same without these cookies.

1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon anise extract
3 cups flour
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons aniseed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softener
1 to 2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 to 2 teaspoons anise extract
Up to 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Colored sugar for sprinkling
To make cookies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and extract.
Combine flour, aniseed, salt, baking powder and soda. Gradually add to butter mixture. Mix well.

To make frosting: Beat butter for 5 minutes with a mixer with a whisk attachment on medium speed. Add confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup at a time, beating on low. Increase speed to medium. Beat in extract. Beat 3 minutes. If your frosting needs to be thinner, add a little milk. If it needs to be thicker, add more confectioners' sugar. Spread cookies with frosting. Sprinkle with colored sugar.

I think it was Rush who mentioned that Obama has become a cult figure to many people, a very likable demagogue. I´m not sure what world leader I would compare him to in that regard. He isn´t the hypnotizing spellbinder of a Hitler, or the beloved uncle type of a Stalin, but he has a following that belies his policies and the results of his destruction so far.
A major part of the anomoly is the fact that despite Lucianne´s "Big Journalism" site there is no big journalism in the so called MSM. Journalism is dead and only the stinking ashes of propaganda remain.
We´ve been dumbed down enough to elect incompetents to the controls of power. Pretenders reading teleprompters, protected by media that should know better. But "should" implies morality, which has been sacrificed to special interests.Find a safe, low-tax state and forget these fools.
Why Over 50% approval? He is likeable??[not by me] [problems are not his fault]???[Republicans are mean and not likeable}? [They are rich and unfeeling]?? Obama is the default setting!
It´s always interesting to ponder what´s in it for the MSM, to pave the way for socialists to grab power? They won´t benefit, so why be the fools?
Unfortunately, the 35% who agree with Obama all vote twice!
Cause he´s black.That´s all that matters.
Has it not even occurred to anyone that the nefarious and notorious media has once again cooked the books for the earred one? As long as our lying news services back him, justice has not a chance.

BeSafe RFID Wallet
not what I expected
It's a nice little wallet but I would never have ordered if they had furnished a picture of the interior There are no slots for cards so they just sit loosely inside a wide open area. I always think the word wallet implies some card holding slots.
December 5, 2013
great for credit cards
I ordered this to take on a trip and it came just in time. I do see what the other reviewers say about it being small for a passport. I was able to jam mine in, but decided not to use it for that. I was more concerned for my credit cards and id. I love how it has a clip on it. I clipped it to the zipper of my guidebag in case anyone tried to get it out. There are some nice pockets in case you wanted to put paper money or something else in there. It is nice feeling secure about my information. I would have given it 5 stars if it was made a little more square and my passport had fit in there better.
November 19, 2013
Very Good Purchase
This appears to be just what I needed, it has enough compartments to be useful and yet small enough to fit inside of a larger purse. Just what I was looking for!
Very easy to use and the zebra color looks very nice. Appears to be of good construction.
November 9, 2013
Excellet purchase
Now I feel convident that I will not be a victim of data being stolen from my important cards!
October 21, 2013
Not for passports
This RFID wallet is advertised for passports and only by forcing can you put it inside. The catalogue dimension is listed as 3.5 inches when the tag on the product says 3.25 inches. That accounts for the difficulty in using it for a passport. I'm returning it and am grateful for free shipping on exchanges.
September 6, 2013
Saved me from a theft
I have had this wallet for about 8 years, and it is still holding up. I travel each year in Europe for a month. In the Vienna subway, I had it leashed into my security fanny pack, which was on me, in front at my waist. Three men cornered me, one unzipped my fanny pack and grabbed my wallet. He was startled when it "pulled back". It slipped out of his hand and I was able to wiggle free and run.
I love this wallet!
March 31, 2013
This wallet is great! It holds all my necessary stuff: driver's license, credit card accessibly, health cards, money and cell phone in a small package. Depending on where I'm going, I drop it in a pocket and go hands free.
August 8, 2013
Will not hold passport
I specifically bought this wallet to provide RFID protection for my passport. The catalog description states the wallet holds a passport. Well, yes it does hold a passport if you deform your passport. I noticed that the tag attached to the product does not suggest that the wallet will hold a passport. I hope Travel Smith will correct the catalog entry to accurately reflect the size and uses.

Dr. Michael Spivey (Sociology) was invited to attend the annual Oxford Round Table at the University of Oxford, England, March 27 to April 1. The Oxford Round Table was established as a colloquium for small groups of academics, governmental and business leaders to engage in discussions that affect states and nations. Alumni of Round Tables include ministers of education, legislators, governors, corporate business leaders, university presidents, professors, lawyers, physicians and other professionals. Participants live in the college, dine in the old halls and attend activities in the examination schools, the Oxford union debating hall and the Bodleian Library. Approximately 40 participants from around the world are invited to the Round Table after a formal screening process. They are selected for their recognized work in the specific area of discussion. The topic for the session of the Oxford Round Table which Dr. Spivey will participate is devoted to: "Social and Economic Stratification: The Consequences of Poverty." "I was very surprised and pleased to find out that I was invited," Dr. Spivey said. "I am very proud to represent UNCP at this prestigious event. I would like to thank the Office of Sponsored Research and the Department of Sociology, Social Work and Criminal Justice for financially making it possible for me to attend."

Each Sunday, we profile a worker on the job in the Cape Fear region. Today, it's simulation lab coordinator Mitzi Averette.
Age: 56
Employer: Fayetteville Technical Community College, where she works in its Health Technology Center
How long have you worked there? She started at FTCC in 2001. "My background is nursing. I graduated in 1977, so for 36 years I've been a nurse. When I originally came here, I was a part-time clinical instructor, taking nursing students to the hospital and other clinical sites. But in 2009, the college really began to acquire an interest in teaching with simulation, in a more focused way."
What is a simulation lab coordinator? "In some places it's primarily a nursing focus, but here at Fayetteville Tech, all of the health programs have an opportunity to rotate through. ... We've always had mannequins, but these are the highly computerized, programmable mannequins. We set up a scenario ... where student have to make decisions. It is to improve their critical thinking skills."
How does it work with the mannequins? "We can chose a disease - asthma, stroke, heart attack. We can make the mannequin have all these symptoms. ... It's a safe environment with no risk to real patients."
What do you like most about your job? "I had been here in a teaching role since 2001, so I love teaching, but with simulation you can see so clearly in action whether they get it or they don't. Some students test well - they can memorize or learn the information in books - but putting it in action is critical."
Is this a growing field? "Definitely. Not only to coordinate labs, but there's a whole other field for technology. There's this clear national initiative about supporting this understanding, that teaching with simulation in health care education is a best practice, and we need to be doing it." Averette is one of 149 applicants worldwide who recently completed pilot-phase training to become a certified healthcare simulation educator through the Society for Simulation in Healthcare.

Just FYI: This is UNSPONSORED, I bought this product
In the past month, I have gone through leaps and bounds trying to completely rid myself from all caffeine consumption. While I have never really had a caffeine addiction, I would generally drink 1 cup of coffee a day and/or a pre-workout in the late afternoon.
My biggest problem is that i have always had chronic insomnia.. for the most part, I can keep it entirely under control. In the past, I would suffer sleepless nights for a week or more, now its maybe 1 bad night every 2 months. Caffeine, having a half-life of 3 hours, can take upwards of 15 hours until it has been completely metabolized from your system...so a stim'd pre-workout drink at 6pm is still somewhat present the next mornign when you wake up. See how that does for sleep quality!
After doing extensive research for Reset AD, ive learned that caffeine and stimulants are perhaps some of the most toxic substances to consume regularly... there nutritonal benefit to our body is entirely negative, and while it may help you in the gym, its reverse effects to your adrenal glands almost wipe out the benefits of the energy and strength.
Well back to the Ragnarok!!
I got a tub of Ragnarok Warrior Melon CAFFEINE FREE from MST. This was not my first Rag experience.. I bought 2 tubs of the old formula's when MST was blowing them out for $20 a peice.. while the flavors were eh, it was well worth it and Rag immediately became my Preworkout of choice..
Last night was my first run with the Stim free...
my expectations were high as the quality of Rag is second to none. The flavor absolutely floored me (in a good way). I have never tasted a better supplement drink than Warrior melon. its almost like a watermelon jolly rancher + euphoria in every sip. WOW! MST Who does your flavor formulations??!?!?!?
15 mins after taking the product, i could definitely feel a surge of clean energy.. my guess was the mix of Citrulline Malate, glucoronolactone, and Rhodiola Rosea. Unfortunately with traffic, it took me 45 mins to get to the gym, i was about to jump out of my skin most of the drive! couldnt sit still.
I got an explosive workout, prob had the best back workout in months. finished up with 20 mins of medium intensity interval training.
- Flavor
- Energy
- Endurance
- Mental Clarity
- Aggression
- Caffeine Free
- Did i mention FLAVOR???
- Cant think of any.
For those of you who think that you NEED caffeine in a pre-workout supplement, I will bet otherwise.

It is a great hotel, a classic...very clean, comfortable. The only down point is that it is not very close to the center, so it depends on your choice ( I had a car and it takes about 15 mins to get downtown).

Canonical Demos Physical Awareness Prototype in Ubuntu
Prototype uses webcam to sense user activity and trigger appropriate reactions.
Over at Canonical's design blog, Christian Giordano introduced an early prototype for a user-aware framework that tracks a user's movements and responds by triggering different actions.
The blog details a few examples such as having the computer initiate full-screen mode when a user leans back in their chair. Canonical also toyed with a parallax technique that shifted the desktop's reference point depending on where the user was positioned in relationship to it.
It's one thing to try and describe these processes and another to demonstrate them. Check out the video: http://vimeo.com/14959854
No word on when or even if this prototype will make it to a future version of Ubuntu, but with this, along with the uTouch framework Canonical released a few weeks ago, the company seems to be extremely interested in new ways to interact with a PC.
