AT&T's Q3 profit inches up to $3.8B, tops expectations
AT&T added nearly 1 million customers in the third quarter, but only 178,000 of them signed a contract to get a smartphone, as the company's profits topped Wall Street expectations.
The disparity between the total customers added -- which includes tablets and connected devices -- and the number of post-paid smartphone customers underscores the declines the industry has faced when it comes to its bread-and-butter phone customer.
More and more, the company has had to rely on other avenues of growth, including tablets, but connecting other devices such as dog collars and medicine pill bottles. The … Read more

The Spice Table
Online Reservations
The food is really good. It's an eclectic menu, but everything tastes fantastic!
My husband and I tried Spice Table Saturday night after visiting the Japanese American National Museum nearby in Little Tokyo. Everything we chose was delicious--fresh, well prepared and tasty. Service was friendly and efficient, & decor was casual but appealing. Only problem was the red snapper dish was a bit too spicy for us. We'll be back!
We enjoyed a varriety of dishes that each had a unique balance of flavors and spices, I would come back to try more of the menu. Each time I looked around I saw more dishes that I would like to have had a chance to try. The Spice Table is located across from MOCHA has a close parking lot, and is with in walking distance of shops in Little Tokoyo. I felt like a guest of the resturant, The staff was very attentive, knowledgeable. The food was fantastic, and unique. I would come back and would want to bring friends.
My wife and I have been to Spice Table a few times and have had a great experience on all occasions. We usually order many small plates and share, so we can try as many things as possible.. I definitely recommend this place
Our party of six was promptly seated outside. We ordered Grilled Eggplant with chile sauce, Grilled Bok Choy in oyster sauce and delicious mushrooms, and fried cauliflower as appetizers. All excellent. Also Samal Fried Potatoes, Grilled Scallops with sambal, Spicy Chicken livers, black pepper crab(both to toast. Larger portions were Grilled Flattened Chixken with honey, lemongrass, served over garlic mashed potatoes. Also Beef Rendeng, Kon Loh Mee (egg noodles with ground pork, pork belly slices. Deserts were a perfect compliment to the unique and spicy flavors. They were Spiced Cognac Ice Cream and Kaffir Lime Custard(excellent). . Nice interprtation of Vietnamese and Thai cooking. Our server was excellent and knowledgable.
Loved the beautiful historic building , the service, and especially the delicious food!
This place is a gem. The Laksa is Asian comfort food with a kick. A must order. We had the special black cod with cumin custard. It was Unique and very tasty. This is the best of Southeast Asian cuisine, brought into the modern sophisticated urban food scene. This is one of the very best new restaurants that we have tried.
Was eager to try out this top pick by Jonathan Gold and before they closed down for the Gold Line construction. Ambience was nice and rustic but a bit too loud due to acoustics of the main room. Our server was very friendly and helpful and took excellent care of us. Tried about 6 different dishes and all were very good. Favs were the Gem Lettuce Salad and the Beef Rendang.
Very tasty food at the Spice Table. All of the dishes were full of flavor, some even spicy-hot, and nicely presented. My only quarrel is that the food is not well-paced, a problem with small plates places. The dishes are delivered at the convenience of the kitchen, and not in any predictable order. As a result, three of the four dishes we ordered were delivered simultaneously. Although all were delicious, having a deluge of dishes does not make for a leisurely meal!
The mix of Asian flavors was amazing. Having been to Singapore I can say the chef really knows what he is doing. Great food!
I can't say enough about Kaya Toast. Can a meal made of five ingredients be so perfect? Each time we visit, we try one new dish. It's flavorful, salty, spicy excitement! We'll be back for dishes involving duck soon.
Fabulous Singaporean/Malaysian inspired cuisine. Best Lahksa I've had outside of Asia. But quite noisy to the point of being uncomfortable.
Despite our thoughtless ordering (too much sambal), we had a great dinner. Food was uniformly delicious, with unusual but accessible spice combinations. The burger was as good as advertised. Potatoes sambal were perfectly done: each small potato became the world's best tot. Menu is wide enough to accommodate all kinds of tastes (and, I suspect, dietary restrictions). I could even see bringing a well-behaved child here. Had a nice Craftsman Cabernale on tap, and the soft drinks are thoughtfully done, too (which is particularly unusual). Service was prompt without being intrusive and we ended up feeling, well, served. I can see why this is such a hot ticket.
I was very pleasantly surprised...It was a wonderful find.
What you may have read about The Spice Table is true. The food is excellent. The combination of flavors in the dishes were both subtle and unique. Our favorites were the soft shell crab and the pigs tail. The former was perfectly fried in a wonderful light batter, and the latter was an unexpected pleasure, offering a great combination of meat, fat and crispness. No wonder this restaurant is on so many "best" lists.
Everything we ordered was fresh, vibrant, cooked perfectly and nailed that lovely Southeast Asian spice profile while still having their own take. Elevated Southeast Asian for sure. A very hip, and noisey spot for foodies, hipsters and downtown neighborhoodies. It's worth a drive from anywhere in LA if you want to get this style of food in a well run restaraunt. Service was impeccable and friendly.
With it's warm brick walls and intimate scale, The Spice Table cozily wakes you up with spicy variations on some familiar asian treats. The cereal prawns, anchovy peanuts and scallop small plates were delicious starters to share amongst "pescatarians". And the fried cauliflower with a tangy dipping sauce was so good we ordered more. Our party of four shared the Laksa large plate-seafood and rice noodles in a diabolically spicy and creamy coconut broth-Yum! The desserts are not to be missed-a spiced soft serve ice cream and a custard with lemongrass notes were the perfect endings. Good wine and beer selection as well.
Brought 6 other friends. About half were out of towners and everyone enjoyed the spices and sophisticated flavors. Enjoyed the Craftsman beers on tap and everyone had a great time.
The Resturant is closing next year, so get there soon.
amazing food. the pig tail and black cod custard had to be my favorite although lamb belly satay follows shortly after.
We've been here many time over the last couple of years. It's a great date night place in a cool part of town with a great vibe. We'll be back in the near future.
Shared dinner with two other adventurous dinners. Great variety of southeast Asian tastes, best to share the plates. The sauces served with each dish were outstanding; with sour and hot tastes nicely melded. The staff, particularly at the bar, were helpful. However, the noise level (8:30 pm on a Wednesday) distracted from the experience. Hard to have a conversation to get info about the dishes from the server. I'd like to go back but will avoid a peak time.
This was a spot I had picked out for my 33rd birthday and had been scoping for awhile being I moved to downtown Los Angeles the year before. Looked inviting from the outside and even better when my family and I entered. The host greeted me and acknowledged my reservation and greeted me for my birthday showing that she had read my online comments. The waitress and various chefs were quick and not without smile. Service a plus aside, the food was spectacular. Each dish with full flavor and spice that lived up to the name. I definitely recommend this place to couples and groups looking for an energetic, friendly and romantic atmosphere. And to top it all off they gave me a complimentary Kaffir Lime Custard Dessert with candle! We will return.
An all around fantastic experience. Do not miss the Kaya toast
Been to Spice Table 4 or 5 times now and every time has been fantastic. The fatty but superbly seasoned lamb belly satays, the fried cauliflower, and the spicy and crisp potatoes are mandatory for our table every time. It is amazing how so many dishes can be so spicy but not unbearably hot. The one problem on this latest visit was the service. On a slow night the waitress was not having a good day. She didn't get everyone's drink order, then she forgot to input two of the dishes we ordered. She made up for it with a free dessert and many apologies. Still, after also visiting Lukshon, a similarly styled Asian fusion restaurant, just as often as Spice Table, I would say my appetite for both places has been satiated. On to something new...
Staff could not be more accomodating. Service efficient and unobtrusive. Some menu selections better than others. Cauliflower, black cod, spicy chicken livers, rib-eye all delicious. Lamb belly satay not so much. Decor dark with brick walls and curtains; although view is none existent. Fun place for groups to share many small plates and flavors. Nice selection of beer.
We enjoyed everything we had. Four dishes were enough for the two of us, because one of the four was the outstanding burger. I especially enjoyed the creamed kale with pork belly. We appreciated that you could order 4 ounce beers (or the normal larger sizes) because it allowed us to try some different things. The servers were nice, went out of their way to explain the dishes and their ingredients.
The chef Bryant NG and his wife/co-owner/front of house Kim make for a spectacular evening. The choices are such clever twists on both sophisticated and yet local Asian food, but brought down to a very approachable and accessible level. I have eaten there several times and each time is better than before. Go for the creamed kale, Kaya toast, spicy chicken livers,the fried chicken and their own Spice Table Cheeseberger. I almost hate to admit I way over order there to have a lot of different tastes. Bryant was awarded the Chef of the Year 2012 by Food and Wine Magazine and you will see why. They may have to close because the Metro line is planned to go right through their building, so hurry over there!
Two of us split the creamed kale, bone marrow, pig's tail and lamb satay. It was the right amount of food for two. The lamb satay and the bone marrow were the stand outs and both were excellent. The creamed kale was good... for kale. The pig's tail was tasty but really really fatty. I would not order it again. The service was excellent. The food came out quickly and our server was on top of our drink needs. The space itself has a lot of character although I could see the main dining room being noisy. Absolutely worth checking out if you're in downtown.
We have been here a few times and it has always been great. Our only suggestions, there is a little too much noise for easy conversation and the A/C did not seem adequate on a rare hot and humid LA day.
Weak wine list. Great small bites. -Yellowtail -Kaya toast -Cauliflower -Grilled bak choy Some dishes were a hit and miss : Grilled Bone marrow was texturally off. The crab dish with a toast had an uninteresting flavor. Great overall experience, great service, great ambiance, Will definitely come back.
They are having to close in March - get there before they go. Varied menu of basically tapas. Everything we had was super tasty, somewhat spicy and oh so good.
Loved it! We had the Kaya Toast, Laska, and the Lamb Belly Satay. Perfect amount to share between 2 people. Food did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for amazing Vietnamese/Singaporean cuisine in downtown. Service was excellent, environment was warm, and food was delicious. Make your next dining outing here.
Spice Table is a warm and friendly restaurant in an old renovated building in Little Tokyo. An interesting variety of Asian-influenced plates--easy to share and try different things. Delicious. Also a nice bar.
The food was really delicious -- everything we tried was good. We want to come back so we can try the rest of the food. The place was kinda small, though, so it didn't feel relaxing. As far as service, there certainly was a lot of attention (e.g., refilling our glasses with water, taking away plates), but it almost felt like we were being rushed, too.
ok, apologies for the yo-gabba-gabba reference but it just seemed a fitting description for our meal. have read about this place for awhile and was not disappointed. everything we ordered was delicious with the exception of the fried chicken. we were a party of 4 so some of the small plates were a little too small to share but entrees were good sized portions. can't wait to go back.
A very interesting menu very well executed. Yes the prices are a bit on the high side for Asian food in LA, but not for gourmet food of this caliber. Also, I'm not sure why the complaints on Yelp about the portion sizes. Visually they're not very big, but much of the food is very rich. For two people we ordered 2 small plates and one large plate to share and had to take food home. Plus one glass of wine and one beer and tip and we were still looking at less than $40 a person. Nice space too, albeit very loud.
My friends have a variety of dietary restrictions, but we were all able to eat - a lot! - at Spice Table. And though upon first blush you might think items like, cauliflower, broccoli, bone marrow, eggplant might sound dour, but let me assure you that the Spice Table knows their way around spice. Each dish was layered with flavor. We left feeling very full and very satisfied. I will be back often!
Really liked the fusion of Asian cuisines. I've lived in Thailand and was there with a friend from Laos. We both really enjoyed our meal. The staff could not have been more helpful and more knowledgable!!
Absolutely one of the best meals and dining experience I've had in...forever. Get the spareribs.
If you like flavorful asian fusion, this is the place for you. You pretty much can't go wrong w anything on the menu. The service was good/attentive. The ambience was nice a quiet.
I didn't know what to expect when I went to Spice Table, but I was delighted at the quality of the food. Everything was fit for sharing, Each small dish could be split between two people, the larger ones between three. Every dish was pretty good, but two specifically were outstanding. The spare ribs were awesomely tender and flavorful. The meat fell off the bone so easily I was able to eat them with chop sticks. The best dish of the evening was the Kaya (spelling?) toast. It was two pieces of toasted bread with some kind of jam (I think it was coconut) between two slices. Then they mix slow cooked egg, white pepper, and soy sauce into an incredibly divine dipping sauce. I'd return to the restaurant just to have that again. Also good marrow.
Took my fiancee here on a busy Saturday night to celebrate our engagement that afternoon. Had made a 6:30 reservation and due toLA Traffic we did not arrive until just past 7 PM. I called the restaurant from the road explaining we were running late. Upon arrival they had held our table despite it being a busy night. Complimentary champagne and congratulations from the owner and staff despite our late arrival. Service was outstanding, matching the food. Creamed Kale with pork bellies and Black pepper crab toast were exquisite and complex. Grilled Chinese broccoli and raw yellow tail were subtle, tasty interludes before the Beef Rendang. The BF was the only large plate we ordered. It was an intricate yet hearty delight. Love this place.
Went to this restaurant with my boyfriend - our reservation was for 9pm. We were running a little late and around 9:15pm we got a call from the restaurant asking if we were still making it because the kitchen closes at 9:30pm and they wanted to make sure that we made it before that so we could order! We ended up making it and we ordered: Fried Cauliflower, Sambal Potatoes, Pepper Crab on Toast, and the Beef Rendeng. The cauliflower was my favorite (it is basically a cauliflower in a tempura batter, deep fried) and the potatoes were great as well! The crab and beef were ok, not my favorite. Overall, a really good experience. The waitress was really nice as well and very attentive.
Incredible Food; great atmosphere. Was my first time visiting and I will definitely be returning
What a great venue. We really had a fantastic experience here. The crab toast in particular blew us away! I'm really sad to hear they're closing in order for the city to build a parking lot. What a shame! I'm sure the restaurant, in whatever form it ends up taking, will land on its feet and continue to impress.
Unique flavors in an awesome building with great ambiance! I would definitely go back (and would have a hard time not ordering everything again it was all so delicious)
Don't forget to order the Kaya Toast, then order one more.
Goodbye DTLA. Dec 31st is the finale @ 1st and Central. Fantastic food. Lucky Santa Monica!
5 different dishes and all very, very good. Service informed, goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed, very competent. Would return without hesitation if we didn't live in Connecticut.

I need inexpensive ideas for my bridesmaids. We have a low budget and I have 8 girls. One is a junior bridesmaid who will be 12, but I want her to feel like one of the girls.
With a small budget, I would think about something you could make. I was at a wedding where the bride got plain wood picture frames and customized them for each bridesmaid. THe bride painted each frame and then glued little buttons, ribbons, wood pieces and so on. They were a HUGE hit! I don't think you would need to be too crafty...just make a trip to Michaels or some other craft store and get picture frames, paint, brushes, a hot glue gun, and then different sort of embellishments. The craft stores also have books with projects like this. Hope this helps!
My friend had a HUGE wedding party. She made each of us scrap books or just wedding albums. It had atleast one nice picture of us together and she wrote something nice and different in each one of our books.
as a mark. cosmetics rep (www.meetmark.com), I bought my girls a necklace and matching earrings that they can wear on the wedding day (they match the dress perfectly!) and a pretty picture frame. The original idea was to put in the frame a photo of each BM and I, the older the picture, the better...but I haven't found ANY! Sheesh!
I have decided to make neclaces for the girls. And I love the idea of the picture frame, but with 8 girls, it might get expensive, not to mention I don't have pictures of some of us that go very far back. I might do that for my MOH because we've been friends since 4th grade and for my sisters and give them to them privately. Thanks!http://www.theknot.com/ourwedding/RachelLewandowski&NicholasCunningham
You could do the frames and put a note in them saying "picture to follow". Make sure to tell your photographer that you want individual pictures of you with each bridesmaid and then give each of them thier picture. Or you could give them a picture of all of you together.
get supplies from Micheals or Joanne Fabrics & make them personalized Christmas Ornaments
I have 7 BM and am giving them both a purse/bag filled with spa items. I got these cute bags on line from Lillian Vernan for only $7 each!! I am filling each bag with spa stuff. So far I have bought a candle, foot care kit, massage bar, soap... I still want to get hand lotion, nail kit ... and whatever else I find!! Each bag, total, will be about 25$. Everything I got so far was at after CHristmas sales. This is the best time to shop!! I do not know when your wedding is, but if you shop on a sale day (after Chritmas, memorial day, black friday ect...) you can get great deals!! I went to bath and body work and for only around $70 I got each girl (7) a candle, a massage bar and soap!! hope this helps!!
I gave my bridesmaids personalized bathrobes and satin eye masks and they LOVED them. A less expensive alternative could be personalized bathtowels and some nice bath salts which you can usually pick up at a store like TJ Maxx or Ross. You could even get the towels there and then have someone you know embroider the names onto them or take them to a mall kiosk to have it done

Finding Science in the Art of Arcimboldo
On a recent trip to the National Gallery of Art, I stopped in to see the Arcimboldo exhibit, which we feature in the magazine this month. When I saw the images in print, I had been fascinated by their weirdness—the artist made faces and heads out of compilations of images of fruit, flowers, books or other items on some theme. The paintings seemed out of place, too surreal for an artist to have created in the late 1500s. But when I saw the exhibit I realized that Arcimboldo was really something of a scientist during a time when studying flora and fauna often meant illustrating them. Arcimboldo's works include numerous studies (drawings) of plants, animals and birds. And these studies made it possible for Arcimboldo to later create his fantastic faces.
Arcimboldo was the court painter for the Holy Roman Emperors Maximilian II and Rudolph II. Maximilian's court was full of artists and scientists, and he established zoological and botanical gardens full of rare plants and animals, including elephants and tigers. Arcimboldo was just one of many artists who studied and painted these creatures, though he was likely the only one to think of making portraits using them. Rudolph followed in his father's footsteps—he was a patron to the astronomers Tycho de Brahe and Kepler, for example—and was even more of an eccentric. He had Europe's most extensive "cabinet of curiosities," full of oddities such as stuffed birds, precious stones and mummies, and it was so large he had an entire wing built to house it. Arcimboldo and his odd paintings, no doubt, fit right in.
While walking through the National Gallery's exhibit, I found the image above, Water, from Arcimboldo's Four Elements series, to be the most striking, perhaps because it was the one in which I could identify the most items. (I'm probably not alone; the National Gallery has a key to only that painting on the wall just outside the exhibit.) Turtle, crab, lobster (strangely, a cooked one), ray, prawn, coral, octopus, whale, seal, walrus, sea horse, plenty of fish. I may not have been able to identify the species, but it was all familiar. Though I was probably missing any social commentary or court drama that the artist had intended to convey with his imagery, I was having plenty of fun staring at it like a version of a giant word search, only looking for sea creatures instead.
If you're in the Washington, D.C. area, there's still a little time to catch the exhibit before it closes on Sunday, after which it moves to the Palazzo Reale in Milan, Italy. If you can't make it, check out the magazine's video tour.

Arcimboldo is fascinating. The auto-playing video is supremely irritating, though.

A friend and I were commiserating about the relative dearth of good atheist books. Say what you will about the Christian faith we left (and we've both said plenty), there is within the church a tradition of heady literature. From Augustine and Pascal to G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis, we never lacked for quality reading. It might have been intellectual nonsense, but it was exceedingly well-written nonsense.
Finally, an atheist-friendly book I can gush about. Jennifer Hecht's Doubt: A History (with the unwieldy subtitle, The Great Doubters and Their Legacy of Innovation from Socrates and Jesus to Thomas Jefferson and Emily Dickinson) is a delight from first page to last, as exhilarating as it is informative. For the atheist it is (dare I use the word?) inspirational.
Another friend of mine, a Russian Orthodox intellectual, criticized Doubt for not being deep enough. I see its airy, playful tone as among its greatest strengths. Doubt foregoes the ponderous prose and intellectual snobbery found in many atheist tomes, instead presenting an amiable "potluck" survey of religious skepticism through the ages.
In the book's 500-odd pages, the reader meets a great many fascinating characters and learns enough of what makes them remarkable to send the curious scrambling to the source material to find out more. Already I've delved deeper into Diogenes, Shelly, and Ingersoll, and reread the Hebrew Bible books of Job and Ecclesiastes with fresh eyes. I defy any atheist to come away from Doubt without a new set of heroes — intellectual giants, persons of great courage and conviction, and even literal martyrs to the cause of free thought. Hecht summarizes her own work nicely on the last page of text: "The only thing that doubters need, that believers have, is a sense that people like themselves have always been around, that they are part of a grand history." Exactly. Many atheists might revel in their freedom from the stale and restrictive traditions of religion. But to realize you are part of a great parade of thinkers who advance humanity, consisting of compelling and colorful characters, is to claim for yourself pride of place. Hecht has rendered an extraordinary service through her book, and I urge atheists to read it. Atheism is a tradition to celebrate and embrace. –Greg Peterson
Add a commentThere have been many fine books regarding evolution and Darwinian ideas written by names we are all familiar with: Dawkins, Gould, Dennett, Eldredge, etc. All these books are good with their own particular perspective on an evolutionary principle. However, I would like to point out a book you may have overlooked.
While studying in England a couple years back, I ran into a relative of Charles Darwin after visiting Darwin's house (now a museum). During my long conversation with the relative, he spoke of his life as an engineer and it was only now in his retirement that he had taken up an interest family history. While looking into the ideas Darwin developed, there was one book he felt truly gave a view of the big picture of what evolution represents and of the people who continue to study the story of life. That book is The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner.
The Pulitzer Prize winning book, written in 1994, tells of the work Peter and Rosemary Grant of Princeton University have done on the Galapagos Islands for the last 20 years. (It has now been 30 years since their work began. See my article on "Nobel Conference explores The Story of Life" in the November/ December 2003 Minnesota Atheist for more information.)
The book majestically covers the Grants' work studying the finches on Daphne Major Island and the incredible discoveries that they've made. Through conversations with the Grants, their colleagues, and marvelous, accurate drawings from their daughter (who has grown up on the island), Weiner is able to weave together a narrative of the methods of biologists, their discoveries, and what it means and implies for them to have actually measured and witnessed Natural Selection in action.
The book is a masterful collection of science, biography, environmental studies, and elegant narrative. If you want to understand what biologists do and what we can – and have – learned about evolutionary studies, then pick up this book. – Brett Welch

November 1, 2006 Drug-resistant staph infections such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus have become more common outside prisons and hospitals, and have been known to spread among athletes in the locker room. Athletes can develop aggressive skin infections when small cuts or scratches come into contact with MRSA through contaminated equipments, clothing, or towels. Preventative measures, such as ultraviolet light filters in the locker room Jacuzzi, and adjustments in the players' behaviors are crucial steps to preventing the spread of MRSA.
See also:
BACKGROUND: A microbe called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common cause of skin infections; it can also cause pneumonia, ear infections and sinusitis. Such infections were once only found in hospitals and prisons; patients with deep wounds and IV catheters, for example were at particular risk of infection. However, now that athletes are in such close contact with one another and share Jacuzzis, whirlpools and athletic equipment, this microbe is proliferating in locker rooms at all levels of sports. The Washington Redskins and other NFL teams are using science and better strategies to beat back the bug. MRSA bacteria are sometimes dubbed "superbugs" because they are highly resistant to common antibiotics like penicillin, making infections difficult to treat effectively.
HOW ANTIBIOTICS WORK: Infections are caused by single-celled organisms called bacteria, which can sometimes evade the body's immune system and begin reproducing. Antibiotics kill those harmful bacteria in various ways, such as preventing a bacterium from turning glucose into energy, or preventing it from construct a cell wall. The bacteria die instead of reproducing. Antibiotics are like selective poisons, because they target bacteria and not the body's own cells. They are not effective against viruses, however. Unlike bacteria, a virus isn't a living, reproducing lifeform, just a piece of DNA or RNA. A virus injects its DNA into a living cell and the cell itself reproduces more of the viral DNA. There is nothing to "kill," so antibiotics don't work on viruses.
DRUG RESISTANCE: Bacteria are highly adaptive, and over time they naturally develop resistance, protecting them incoming germs (and antibiotics) and making them harder to kill. Repeated exposure to penicillin and amoxicillin can result in a throat full of bacteria that can shield germs from the older drugs. These "co-pathogens" become more dominant. Sometimes people discontinue antibiotic medication prematurely when they begin to feel better, so the germ isn't entirely killed off.

London to Brighton marks writer/director Paul Andrew Williams' debut feature. Made in the tradition of such contemporary British crime dramas as Get Carter and Snatch, and adapted from Williams' celebrated short film Royalty, the picture opens with two women on the lam: middle-aged hooker Kelly (Lorraine Stanley), whose battered face discloses a recent thrashing, and the preteen Joanne (Georgia Groome). While the two board a train bound from London to Brighton in the middle of the night, the vile thug Stuart Allen (Sam Spruell) orders Kelly's pimp, Derek, to deliver the two women within 24 hours. Kelly, it seems, originally supplied Derek (Johnny Harris) with runaway Joanne to satisfy the request of a client, Duncan (Alexander Morton), for underage girls. Duncan later turned up dead, and now Kelly is a prime suspect. Nathan Constance and David Keeling co-star. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

As directed by Brit Tom Shankland, this outing constitutes a chilling installment in the subgenre of horror films about evil children running amok. The tale unfolds in contemporary England during a snowy, late December, with a young married couple, Jonah (Stephen Campbell Moore) and Elaine (Eva Birthistle), journeying into the country to spend New Year's with immediate family -- Elaine's sister Chloe (Rachel Shelley) and brother-in-law Robbie (Jeremy Sheffield). Accompanying the adults are three children: Casey (Hannah Tointon), Elaine's adolescent daughter from a first marriage (who resents being dragged along), and youngsters Paulie (William Howes) and Miranda (Eva Sayer), her children with Jonah (who can't wait to see their cousins Nicky and Leah). Upon arrival at Robbie and Chloe's home, ominous and increasingly bizarre events begin to transpire: Paulie grows visibly ill, Leah and Nicky begin slipping into menacing and threatening behavior toward everyone, capped off by an ugly accident that they engineer involving Robbie -- an incident that pushes him to the brink of death and ends with a gruesome act of carnage committed by the children. Soon, Elaine realizes that Paulie is infected with a bizarre, zombie-like virus that he is systematically spreading to the other children, and promptly decides to ameliorate the situation by taking violence into her own hands and ending the boy's young life. Little does she realize, however, just how pervasive the virus has grown. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A criminal scheme gone wrong is just the start of a string of life-threatening bad luck in this darkly comic thriller. David (Andy Serkis) and Peter (Reece Shearsmith) are a pair of second-rate criminals who are eager to make a big score and think they've come up with the formula for a perfect crime. David works for a wealthy local businessman named Arnie who dotes on his teenaged stepdaughter Tracey (Jennifer Ellison), and so with the help of Arnie's slacker son Andrew (Steven O'Donnell), he and Peter kidnap the girl and demand a hefty ransom for her safe return. But Tracey puts up far more of a fight than David and Peter ever expected, and when Andrew picks up the ransom only to discover they've been given a decoy instead of cash, the would-be kidnappers have no clue what to do next. But this problem seems like small potatoes when the owner of the seemingly abandoned cottage where they're holed up unexpectedly returns -- he turns out to be a hideously deformed lunatic with a murderous temper and a bitter hatred of trespassers. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A cantankerous retiree discovers an untapped gift while wrestling with the impending death of his beloved wife in this inspirational musical drama from director Paul Andrew Williams. Arthur (Terence Stamp) has shared a fruitful and enduring marriage with his wife Marion (Vanessa Redgrave) when he receives the devastating news that their days together are numbered. But while Marion's condition might be terminal, she chooses to take the diagnosis in stride, doing her best to cherish what remaining time she has with her husband. Meanwhile, Arthur's already dour attitude grows increasingly grim with each passing day. When the senior's choir that Marion sings in shows up at their window one stormy morning to serenade them with Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," Arthur completely loses his cool and snaps at the well-intentioned crooners. His outlook worsens right alongside Marion's health, but when she asks him to be her substitute in the choir, he agrees in an attempt to make her smile. Little does Arthur realize that choir director Elizabeth (Gemma Arterton) favors teaching the group such nontraditional tunes as Motörhead's "Ace of Spades" rather than the tired glee-club standards. In time, something remarkable happens -- Arthur finds his voice and remembers how it feels to truly be alive in the moment. Christopher Eccleston co-stars. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Posted on the Saks Fifth Avenue website:
"Due to popular demand, a customer may order no more than three units of this item every 30 days."
Good heavens! We also noticed that they are refusing to ship to California. And why is that? Python.
Pitone, for the uninitiated, means python in English, and it is unlawful to sell or ship python skin in California.
This python tote has a snakeskin side bow, leather lining, inside zip pocket and drawstring closure. Pretty fancy, but we'd imagine that the signature gold Prada logo is why it's selling quite so well.
The Prada Pitone Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue (unless you're in California) for $2,990.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Natural Bitumen and Extra-Heavy Oil Country Notes
Canada has three major oil sands deposits in Alberta, the Athabasca deposit, centered on the city of Fort McMurray, the Cold Lake deposit, north of Lloydminster, and the Peace River deposit, in northwest Alberta.
In the Athabasca area, where 80% of oil sands exist, the mineable portion of the Wabiskaw-McMurray formation (Cretaceous age) is estimated to contain 16 billion cubic metres in-place. A further 253 bcm of in-place bitumen resource is associated with the in-situ projects.
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) estimates of established reserves at year-end 2004 were 28 bcm, which is consistent with Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). Cumulative production is about 0.7 bcm. About 20% of established reserves are mineable and 80% require in-situ recovery. The ultimate potential (with improved economics and technology) of bitumen reserves is 55 bcm, including 8 bcm from surface mineable recovery methods.
Mineable Reserves. The surface-mineable oil sands area is defined by the amount of overburden that has to be removed to reach bitumen ore. Overburden of 75 m or less is considered to be surface-mineable. The EUB has designated over 850 000 acres where the overburden is less than 75 m. All other oil sands deposits that are below 75 m of depth are classified as in-situ. Due to low gravity and high viscosity, these oil sands require enhanced recovery schemes, such as thermal stimulation, in order for the bitumen to become mobile and produceable by pumping.
The quantity of volume in-place that is economic to produce is based on economic strip ratio criteria, a minimum bitumen saturation of 7 mass per cent bitumen, and a minimum saturated zone thickness of 3.0 m. The EUB also applies factors that sterilise volumes from being mineable, such as corridors along rivers, surface facilities, tailings ponds, and waste dumps. Mining and extraction operations result in an average loss of 18% of bitumen in-place volume.
Table 1
Active projects shown in the table above have produced 0.5 bcm at end-2004. The Suncor mining project began operation in 1967, produced less than 8 000 m3/d for most of the period through the end of the 1980s, and then grew to production of 35 000 m3/d in 2004. The Syncrude project began operation in 1977 and has produced over 32 000 m3/d since 1995. The Albian project, led by Shell Canada, began operation in January 2004 and reached its design capacity of 25 000 m3/d in mid-2005.
In-Situ Reserves. Established reserves are based on economic cutoff limits and recovery factors. Commercial projects, given production history, were assigned thermal recovery factors from 25-40%, depending on the producing formation. A relatively small quantity, 0.2 bcm, has been produced by in-situ projects.
Prior to the extraordinary increase in world crude oil prices since 2002, thermal production of bitumen from oil sands was stagnant, at approximately 48 000 m3/d. Supply was dominated by cyclic steam projects of Imperial Oil at Cold Lake, and Canadian Natural Resources at Primrose, both projects initiated before the 1986 collapse in world oil prices. The 1996 agreement between Alberta and Ottawa on a generic oil sands regime, and the recovery of world prices which began in early 1999 encouraged the owners of oil sands to begin cautiously advancing in-situ projects. Since 2002, project proposals have grown dramatically.
The following table summarises the largest commercial and proposed projects.
Oil sands production will become an increasing part of Canada's crude oil supply, despite some challenges such as: capital cost escalation, operating costs, labour and infrastructure availability.
Record high oil prices have raised international awareness of Alberta's oil sands resources. Proposed projects for surface mining and in-situ reserves have mushroomed in the heated market for crude supply. Recent projections suggest that oil sands output could increase to between 240 000 m3/d and 480 000 m3/d by 2015, depending on the economic conditions.

Worthplaying has them. We're trying to maintain enthusiasm, but this is starting to look like a Lego game with Batman characters, as opposed to a Lego games with Indiana Jones or Star Wars people.

Folks are waxing poetic about CompuServe,now that news has broken that the classic service is shutting down for good (like anyone really noticed until they announced it).
Brings back so many memories of my old Prodigy, CompuServe, GEnie and Delphi accounts. Eric and I didn't meet online, but those online services were a big part of our courtship. Remember when there was no spam? When the only online predators we had to worry about were the services themselves that charged us by the second? The so-called "connected web" we live in today isn't a new concept. Some of the most meaningful friendships of my life came out of GEnie or CompuServe at a time when Facebook's most active users didn't know how to write yet.
I just spent 30 minutes looking for screen shots to go with what I'm describing in this post. I might as well be looking for examples of written language before ink.

About Hibernate
Working with both Object-Oriented software and Relational Databases can be cumbersome and time consuming. Development costs are significantly higher due to a paradigm mismatch between how data is represented in objects versus relational databases. Many software developers and architects estimate that up to 30% of their code is needed to deal with this infrastructure concern. Hibernate directly addresses this challenge by providing the ability to map an object model's data representation to a relational data model and its corresponding database schema.
Hibernate is licensed under the open source GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and is free to download and free to use for both development and production deployments. The license also allows ISVs to embed and distribute Hibernate free of charge.
Hibernate eliminates repetitive and tedious coding work and enables developers to focus on the business problem. No matter which application development strategy you prefer--starting top-down with a new business problem and model or bottom up with an existing database schema--Hibernate can significantly reduce development time and as a provider of Object/Relational persistence solution will significantly reduce lines of code. Hibernate provides a buffer between the two data representations and enables a more elegant use of object orientation on the Java side--all while keeping the relational schema normalized and guaranteeing data integrity.

Oakland Unity
Khan Academy at Oakland Unity High School How Khan Academy helped increase student responsibility and motivation in east Oakland
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- I think what's fun for me is watching my students
- get excited about math.
- because I'm a math nerd.
- My students, at the beginning, were like,
- "Math sucks! I don't really like math."
- But more and more of them are getting excited
- and getting excited when they understand something.
- Both my principal and I, the very same day,
- heard the same piece on NPR, talking about Khan Academy,
- and they were talking about the videos
- and they mentioned the exercises.
- And we both had the same reaction.
- The what? Exercises? Khan has exercises?
- And once we realized that they had exercises,
- we said "We've got to look deeper in this."
- There's something here we could really use.
- We had experimented with online learning already with
- another program that wasn't working ...
- and I had gone onto Khan Academy
- and experienced it and saw how much better it was.
- How much students could learn.
- And so I was excited for students
- to learn in an online forum that would actually work.
- The thing that surprised us was the way Khan worked
- to help change the habits of these kids.
- Previously, when they thought a homework problem
- was difficult, they stopped.
- "I can't get it, I won't do it. "
- Something about Khan,
- "Well, you can't just stop, because then
- how do I move the bar forward, how do I make the progress?"
- It just seduces them into doing more effort.
- They start doing the effort,
- they start taking responsibility for their own education.
- High school students are definitely lacking a lot of foundations.
- There are some big gaps,
- specifically negative numbers, fractions, decimals.
- They come into ninth grade, and they're like
- "I've heard this speech before, I already know it."
- And so Khan Academy says
- "Actually, you don't know it,
- cause you just got this problem wrong."
- And so it confronts them with their own false confidence,
- and then they're like "Okay, now I need to learn it."
- And they learn it. Finally, for the first time.
- We test our students who are coming in every year.
- Before school starts, we give a test in Algebra.
- They've taken Algebra,
- but we want to know how much they know.
- And they unfortunatly know very little.
- The last two years, the incoming freshman average score
- on the Algebra Pre-Assesment was 17 percent.
- Exactly the same.
- Last year's class did not use Khan;
- this year's class uses Khan.
- Same lecture, same teacher.
- As brilliant as we are, we haven't really changed.
- Khan is the changing factor here.
- And our scores have been much higher.
- The average last year was 37 percent;
- the average this year, 72 percent.
- Some students took off right away.
- They realized they could actually go in
- and learn whatever they wanted,
- as long as they got got the required learning done.
- So I have students [who] are learning calculus already.
- And that jumped into geometry right away
- because they thought it was cool.
- Other students took a while to figure that out
- because they were still plodding through the required stuff.
- But as more and more of them are getting stronger,
- they're getting happier about making choices
- about what they get to learn.
- We actually have two different classrooms.
- In my classroom, there are no computers.
- Then, I have a computer lab,
- where about two or three times a week,
- they're working exclusively with a computer.
- When they're with me, I'm explaining problems,
- they're doing problems.
- What's different in my room, is this.
- My kids are more engaged.
- They're getting more help on the basics of solving equations,
- factoring quadratics, graphing parabolas.
- It's almost as if, they weren't doing homework before,
- now they're doing homework.
- But it's Khan homework.
- Khan is changing the one thing
- that needs to be changed with these kids,
- which is their learning habits.
- It finds a way to get them to take more responsibility.
- Khan is helping me win that battle.
- And that's the battle I could not win by myself.
- Now that they're fully engaged,
- I actually have more of a challenge being a math teacher.
- Now I have to find a way to really take them deeper,
- into more complex problems...
- solving more difficult word problems.
- Because they are engaged and they're ready for it.
- I think the biggest change I've seen in our students
- is their idea about how learning happens.
- Students felt that when a teacher told you information
- and magically you understood it and you did well.
- And Khan Academy has really changed that.
- Now the students realize that it's their job to figure it out.
- And there are supports for them,
- but they'e responsible for understanding it.
