"And the envelope, please…."
It is one of Hollywood's most iconic phrases, uttered by presenters at the Academy Awards each year and followed by another equally famous quote: "And the Oscar goes to…."
But throughout much of Oscar's history whenever the pinprick moment arrived when a celebrity presenter would open the envelope and announce the winning nominee, there was nothing special about the envelope itself as opposed to the golden statuette that the winners would clutch while thanking whomever on live TV.
That is, until Marc Friedland decided that the Oscar envelope needed to be its own icon.
The L.A. stationer had an idea: design a classy-looking envelope, that was easy to open and that would provide a treasured keepsake to the winners along with the glittering golden statuette that they clutched in their hands in triumph.
Friedland, owner of Marc Friedland Couture Communications, persuaded the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to have him design an envelope that would not only look elegant to the 1 billion global TV viewers but also be constructed in such a way that celebrity presenters wouldn't struggle opening the envelopes to the groans and laughter of audiences.
"When I started thinking about this, I wanted something that would be timeless, involving the glamour of Hollywood, but not a period piece. But also something that transcended fashion and trends," Friedland, 54, told HollywoodNews. "We had to design something that looks great and performs well, too. Like the quintessential Hollywood actress who has to look good on screen but also be talented."
On Sunday, March 2, the Academy Awards will again be featuring Friedland-designed envelopes. This will mark the fourth year that Friedland's envelopes will be in use.
And, since there are two dozen categories, Friedland noted, only the presenters and winners will be seen touching the envelopes, making the moment even more special.
Each envelope is handcrafted out of four different papers using 10 different processes, he explains.
The outside of each envelope is made of metallic-gold paper stock with subtle repeats of the Oscar statuettes.
Inside the envelope, the creators note, is a heavyweight ecru card featuring deco gold foil and is accented with a gold-leaf embossed Oscar statuette along with the phrase, "And the Oscar goes to…" The winner's name is printed in charcoal ink and is mounted onto a matching red lacquer hand-wrapped frame. The back of the card introduces a new feature, indicating the specific [...]

Oscars' Billion Viewer Envelope
By ROBERT W. WELKOS
Oscars: Get to know a Best Picture nominee: "Nebraska"
Directed by: Alexander Payne
Written by: Bob Nelson
Main cast members: Bruce Dern, June Squibb, Will Forte, Bob Odenkirk, and Stacy Keach
Number of Oscar nominations in total: 6
Other nominations besides Best Picture: Best Director (Payne), Best Actor (Dern), Best Supporting Actress (Squibb), Best Original Screenplay (Nelson), and Best Cinematography
Notable precursor wins: Won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival and Won Best Actor/Supporting Actor from the National Board of Review
Chances at winning Best Picture: At one point a more serious contender and currently still one of the five likeliest winners, it's however most certainly a long shot at this juncture
Chances at other Academy Award wins: It's likely to be shut out, but there's an outside chance of an upset in the Best Actor race
ANALYSIS OF OTHER OSCAR NOMINEES: 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity and HER.
Nebraska is the seventh film in my "get to know a Best Picture nominee" series, and it's another nominee that has to look at the nomination itself as the real reward here, since it's likely to be completely shut out. Earlier in the season it was considered a major threat and a potential dark horse to win a number of Academy Awards, but the buzz has really died down now. That's a shame too, considering how at one point Bruce Dern was a real top tier contender for Best Actor. He could still swoop in for the upset win, but the likely result is that Alexander Payne's movie goes home empty handed.
Working in Nebraka's favor is how it's the one film that clearly has the senior citizen vote. Oscar voters have long been pigeon-holed as old white men, and despite that being an oversimplification of things, there's no denying that these older voters are there and the Academy has quite a few folks who like movies that speak to them. This one certainly does that.
If you're looking for something that's not in this film's favor, it's the fact that it really never got a precursor win of note. Aside from a win for Dern at Cannes that launched his candidacy, nothing truly of any importance happened for the flick. Nebraska got plenty of nominations throughout the season, but never that all important win. Had something happened at the Golden Globes for example, it would have set the movie up as a potential winner somewhere just because it had been seen [...]
Can the Oscars save CNN?
By ROBERT W. WELKOS
It seems that everybody is benefiting from the Oscar season…film festivals, awards shows, broadcast and cable TV networks, entertainment magazines and websites.
So, can the Oscars save ratings starved CNN?
The cable news channel has seen its ratings languishing for some time now.
As Mediate recently reported, "On Valentine's Day Friday night, CNN's evening slate of shows had a disastrous night, failing to rate above 66K viewers in the key 25-54 demo from 5-10 p.m. ET. The network was in 4th place across the board during those hours with Anderson Cooper 360 and Piers Morgan Live both at 66K in the demo. Erin Burnett OutFront at 7 p.m. drew just 49K in the demo."
We're not saying one is related to the other, but on Wednesday, CNN announced it was kicking off a number of Oscar-related telecasts leading up to the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, March 2.
On Thursday at 10 p.m. ET, Krista Smith, senior west coast editor of Vanity Fair and a CNN contributor, will host CNN Spotlight: And the Nominees Are? The hour-long show will feature Smith's interviews with Oscar nominees Amy Adams, Jared Leto, Lupita Nyong'o and Jonah Hill.
Among the revelations Smith unearths:
"Amy Adams reveals that when she signed on to work with David O. Russell again for American Hustle, they didn't have a script until like a week before," a press release touting the show states.
The release goes on: "…Jared Leto tells Smith that he stayed in the Dallas Buyers Club character Rayon while filming: 'I was walking through Whole Foods and I got looks from people and it was a real look of condemnation, of judgment, of disgust. And that was powerful to get to understand. Because I'm sure Rayon and the Rayons of the world get that look all the time—and have to deal with that in a much more real way than I did."
On Thursday, Feb. 27, at 9 p.m. ET, the cable network will telecast CNN: And the Oscar Goes To? a two-hour special from Turner Classic Movies featuring great moments from 85 years of Academy Awards ceremonies, including never before seen behind-the-scenes ceremony footage from the archives of Hollywood Newsreel.
From Feb. 27 to March 2, CNN will "air live reports, interviews and take an inside at all the big events in and around the industry's crowning event. From the rolling out of the red carpet to the behind-the-scenes stories [...]
Oscars: Get to know a Best Picture nominee: "Her"
Directed by: Spike Jonze
Written by: Spike Jonze
Main cast members: Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Chris Pratt, Rooney Mara, and Portia Doubleday
Number of Oscar nominations in total: 5
Other nominations besides Best Picture: Best Original Screenplay (Jonze), Best Production Design, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song
Notable precursor wins: Won Best Original Screenplay at the Writers Guild of America Awards, Won Best Screenplay at the Golden Globe Awards, and Won Best Film/Best Director from the National Board of Review
Chances at winning Best Picture: It'd be an absolute shock if it managed to win Best Picture, so it's slim to none here
Chances at other Academy Award wins: It's the frontrunner for Best Original Screenplay, while it's not impossible for any of its tech nominations to turn into upset wins.
ANALYSIS OF OTHER OSCAR NOMINEES: 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity and HER.
Her is the six film in my "get to know a Best Picture nominee" series, and it's another nominee that has to consider the nomination itself to be the real reward, at least in this category. That being said, the nod (along with all of its noms overall) is really something to admire. Such a singular and unique movie being nominated for more than a token Oscar or two is a nice change of pace for the Academy. Especially considering that it scored not just a Best Picture citation but a Best Original Screenplay as well, there are voters here who are very fond of this film, and that pleases me to no end. Regardless of anything else, it's nothing like any other nominee this year, or really in history I'd argue, so kudos to Spike Jonze and company for such fine work. He may not be a serious Best Picture contender, but Jonze is likely to win the Original Screenplay Oscar, so the flick isn't too likely to go home empty handed regardless.
Working in Her's favor is just how different and romantic it is. The film has connected with so many people, arguably in a way that no other nominee has been able to do. Members of the Academy were taken by this movie in more than one way, honoring not just the film itself and it's writing, but the production design and musical components as well. Multiple tech nominations are a sure sign of widespread support. Without it, you have no chance at [...]
Man behind "Noah" survey: "We are not hired guns…"
By ROBERT W. WELKOS
Chris Stone, the Raleigh, N.C.-based strategic branding executive behind a faith-based survey that indicated a lack of Christian support for Paramount Pictures $125 million Biblical epic Noah on Tuesday denied that his agency is a stalking horse for any clients with a political agenda.
"We are not hired guns out there," Stone told HollywoodNews. "…We did it (the survey) as an advocate for the (faith driven consumer) community."
He also stressed that his company, the Stone Agency, is not doing the bidding of the Republican Party with its issues-oriented campaigns, like the recent one in which it spearheaded a petition-drive to pressure the cable station A&E to lift the ban on Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson for incendiary remarks he had made in GQ magazine.
"We advocate more on philosophical grounds than for political candidates…," Stone explained, adding, "We have no contractual relationship with the GOP hierarchy."
The Noah survey has not gone unnoticed in Hollywood, either.
"It was not designed as a scientific poll," Stone told HollywoodNews in a telephone interview. "It was designed as a survey of a particular community." He noted that the tally was "4,800 to 101" and said that "a professional came up with that number."
Stone stressed that the respondents weren't specifically being critical of the film, which has yet to be released, but were saying "that doesn't really resonate with me and, based upon that, I don't have a significant interest in seeing it."
Stone made his remarks before Paramount made public an internal research study challenging the trustworthiness of the Faith Driven Consumers survey, which was cited in an article posted on Variety.com.
The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday said that Paramount took the unusual step of revealing internal studio research to counter the survey's results.
"The survey question that had the 98 percent response rate did not contain any reference to the film Noah, despite the fact that the Variety reporting implied that it did," THR quotes the internal research as stating.
"Nielsen's National Research Group (NRG), the industry's decades long standard for measuring prerelease tracking of feature films (and other entertainment offerings), is tracking Noah and has gauged, with still six weeks to go before the film's release and from self-defined 'very religious' moviegoers, that 83 percent of those aware of Noah in the pre-release tracking have expressed interest in seeing the film," the studio statement continues, according to THR.
In the controversy over Duck Dynasty, A&E [...]
Roger Deakins won't be returning to shoot the next James Bond film
I don't know about any of you, but one of my absolute favorite parts of the last James Bond film Skyfall was the cinematography of Roger Deakins. Arguably the most talented director of photography in the business, Deakins is an absolute master and rightly was nominated for an Oscar for his work on that movie. That was his tenth Academy Award nomination at the time, and he's since added another one this year for Prisoners. Sadly, he still hasn't won, though it's possible that he could pull an upset and finally score a win next month (don't count on it though). Still, the job he did on Skyfall with director Sam Mendes was stunning, so I was looking forward to seeing them team up again on the sequel/next installment of the franchise. Alas, it appears like that won't be happening.
Yes, reports have come out today stating that Deakins won't be joining Mendes on the movie, most likely due to scheduling conflicts. He's obviously one of the most in demand cinematographers in the business, so it stands to reason that the allure of something new trumped coming back to shoot a sequel. It obviously puts a bit of a damper on the Skyfall sequel, but with Deakins likely going to be teaming up with his longtime collaborators Joel and Ethan Coen again soon (though there's nothing official about a new project for them right now), there's a potential bright side to this news at least.
If you're looking for when Deakins could finally win his long deserved Oscar, it could be next year for his work on the Angelina Jolie-directed World War II flick Unbroken, which could have some amazing visual components. That's clearly putting the cart before the horse though, so I'll steer clear of that for now, but keep that possibility in the back of your minds.
Regardless, this is our first Bond related news in a while, so that's something, though it's not exactly the most ideal news. We'll all be there no matter who shoots the picture though, so it's not exactly a deal breaker or anything of the sort. The technical prowess of Skyfall just spoiled us is all…
The many facets of Leo DiCaprio: The Wolf of Wall Street
By Michael Russnow
As Oscar voters continue to mark their ballots until this Wednesday, I wonder what goes into their thinking? Do they vote specifically for what they believe is the best achievement of last year, a surprising performance and accomplishment or is it a cumulative assessment of someone's career?
For all these reasons, and not just one, I'm going against the grain of what appears to be the general consensus and strongly suggest that Leonardo DiCaprio deserves the Oscar this year for The Wolf of Wall Street, even more than favorite Matthew McConaughey.
This doesn't in any way diminish McConaughey's performance in Dallas Buyers Club. It was terrific, and the subject matter of the film made it that much more compelling. However, DiCaprio's execution, in my view, was even more powerful, in particular as it was a totally different characterization and portrayal than we've ever seen from the actor before.
It's hard to realize sometimes that Leo has been in filmdom's consciousness for twenty-one years, since he was elevated from his sitcom supporting role in ABC's Growing Pains to the wow factor engendered in his major debut role opposite Robert De Niro in This Boy's Life. Later in 1993 that respect was magnified when he stole What's Eating Gilbert Grape from Johnny Depp and was rewarded with his first Oscar nomination at the age of nineteen.
For the next several years, he continued to intrigue audiences with a different assortment of characters, sometimes in mixed films such as Basketball Diaries and Total Eclipse, in more respected fare such as Marvin's Room and Romeo and Juliet, and finally emerging as a superstar in Titanic.
Since then he has won fans and critical plaudits for his work in Catch Me If You Can, a young Howard Hughes in The Aviator, as a South African in Blood Diamond and an undercover policeman in The Departed, sometimes Oscar nominated, more times not and sometimes robbed of a nod as in the case of J. Edgar and last year's Django Unchained.
Through it all, he has mostly been acclaimed for quirky dramatic performances until finally his well-known personal impishness came forth comedically in The Wolf of Wall Street. In this film, which I mostly liked but not entirely, Leo displayed so many facets, delivering emotional high points while also sometimes hysterically funny, that I wonder if his excellence has become so expected we don't realize how different the role is and [...]
Oscars: Get to know a Best Picture nominee: "Gravity"
Directed by: Alfonso Cuarón
Written by: Alfonso Cuarón and Jonás Cuarón (reportedly with some uncredited collaboration by George Clooney as well)
Main cast members: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, and Ed Harris (voice)
Number of Oscar nominations in total: 10
Other nominations besides Best Picture: Best Director (Cuarón), Best Actress (Bullock), Best Production Design, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects
Notable precursor wins: Tied for Best Picture at the Producers Guild of America Awards, Won Best Director at the Directors Guild of America Awards, Won Best Director at the Golden Globe Awards, Won Best Director and Best British Film at the BAFTA Awards,
Chances at winning Best Picture: One of the top three contenders for the award and a definite co-frontrunner, if not THE frontrunner
Chances at other Academy Award wins: A sure fire win in Best Director, along with Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects, though it could legitimately win every technical award that it's nominated for
ANALYSIS OF OTHER OSCAR NOMINEES: 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity and HER.
Gravity is the fifth film in my "get to know a Best Picture nominee" series, and it's the other main contender in the category. In fact, it's probably got the best chance of the bunch to win. Sure, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if 12 Years a Slave took home Best Picture, and I'd be one of the few not surprised by an American Hustle win, but still…Gravity is the most likely of that trio. It tied with Hustle for the most nominations overall, has picked up some strong precursor attention, and will likely dominate the tech categories at the Oscar ceremony. That gives it a leg up on the competition for sure. It'll likely come down to if voters are opposed to citing a science fiction film as their Best Picture winner. If they don't mind, then this movie is probably winning the Oscar.
Working in Gravity's favor is just how significant its wins have been and how rare a split between Best Picture and Best Director is. Alfonso Cuarón has dominated the Best Director race, so his win is a slam dunk. With the flick tied for the most nominations overall and a prime competitor for the top prize, it'll be all too easy for Academy members to not split their ballot. It may not have won the [...]
"The Lego Movie" repeats as Box Office champ this weekend
Happy Sunday everyone, time for the weekly box office report! Leading the way this weekend once again was The LEGO Movie, which had a tremendous second week hold, taking in an estimated $48.8 million, again easily taking the top spot. The animated film bested a trio of 80′s movie remakes and an original title in terms of the other new releases. The comedy redo About Last Night opened very strongly for an estimated $28 million, proving that whatever Kevin Hart is in makes a few bucks, while the high profile remake of RoboCop had a middling gross of $21 million. Given the budget, that has to be a bit on the disappointing side. The new incarnation of Endless Love lost a lot of Valentine's Day viewers to the more well received About Last Night and only made $13.3 million. As for Winter's Tale, that supposedly un-filmable novel became a largely ignored film, as it only took in $7.7 million. Among the limited release openings, Beijing Love Story did decently well, while no other independent features of that ilk have reported their weekend grosses as of right now.
The LEGO Movie now is surely the start of a franchise, while The Monuments Men overcame less than stellar reviews to open better than expected, especially considering the bad buzz that surrounded the move from Oscar season last year. As for Vampire Academy, plain and simple…no one went to see it.
Among the notable holdovers in theaters besides The LEGO Movie, The Monuments Men finished fourth with another $15 million, while Ride Along finished six with another $8.7 million.
Here's what the top ten looked like at the box office for this particular weekend:
1. The LEGO Movie – $48,810,000
2. About Last Night – $27,000,000
3. RoboCop – $21,500,000
4. The Monuments Men – $15,000,000
5. Endless Love – $13,380,000
6. Ride Along – $8,759,000
7. Winter's Tale – $7,785,000
8. Frozen – $5,855,000
9. Lone Survivor – $4,076,000
10. That Awkward Moment – $3,337,000
Chavez Film: The Producer Strikes Back
By ROBERT W. WELKOS
The producers of a new biopic about the late labor leader Cesar Chavez are rushing to tamp down a flickering controversy appearing on Latino social media over whether unionized workers were fired and non-union personnel employed on the film.
The allegation is being vigorously disputed by lead producerPablo Cruz, who said the production complied with all union regulations andthat all the actors, either those from the U.S. or from Mexico, were unionmembers. He did concede, however, that extras hired in Mexico were non-unionsince there is no equivalent of an extras union in Mexico.
'If there was a union for extras (in Mexico), we would havehad them, but there wasn't one,' Cruz said.
Cesar Chavez, which is directed by Diego Luna and stars Michael Pena, America Ferrara, Rosario Dawson and John Malkovich,is scheduled to be released March 28 in more than 600 theaters by Pantelion Films.
The movie was shot predominately in Sonora, Mexico, for reasons that had to do with the grape-picking season and how differently grapesare harvested today in the Central Valley of California, as opposed to decades ago when Cesar Chavez was organizing farm workers.
Cruz also rejected claims that they were a 'runaway' production. 'We are a Mexican production company. We are the company who managed to finance this film. We are not a U.S. company.'
If the union/non-union issues are not satisfactorily dealt with, they could impact the film's perception, especially in the Latino community, where Chavez's struggle to organize California farm workers lifted him in many eyes into the Latino equivalent of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The controversy, which has been around for a few years, erupted anew earlier this week when the website Latino Rebels published a story under the headline: 'Critics of New Chavez Movie Allege Producers Used Non-Union Workers and Outsourced Workto Mexico.'
The source of this allegation was an L.A. activist namedChamba Sanchez, who wrote on his Facebook page that he had received an emailasking if he would help promote the film. He derisively questioned why he would want Luna to get rich?
'Furthermore,' Sanchez posted, 'I am currently researching into allegations that people behind this movie fired unionized workers and outsourced part or the entire production to Mexico. This is quite disturbing. If this is the case, Cesar Chavez must be spinning in his grave. And a bigger question: Why his family would agree to this?'
'We never fired anybody to hire a non-union [...]

Design by Jozeph Forakis, 1993.
By Foscarini.
The Havana Round Multipoint Pendant by Forscarini represents a technical solution that couples function with design harmony. The included multipoint canopy makes it possible to build compositions that utilize up to 6 pendants, creating a cascade of emotional illumination. While it is particularly suitable to enrich a staircase or foyer space, Havana can also be used to artfully illuminate modern hallways and living rooms.
Havana's young, light-weight appearance recalling the shape of a cigar, which ironically gives it its name, the soft light that it emits and the ease with which it blends in with the most varied contexts, have made it the great success that it is today, so much so that it is also part of the permanent collection on exhibit at the New York MoMA. Diffuser is constructed of four satin finish polyethylene segments, held together by small metal hooks.
The Havana Round Multipoint Pendant is offered as a standard kit that includes one round multipoint canopy and 3 pendants with 78" cables. Additional pendants may be added by using the drop down menu. Available with a choice of 78" or 200" cables, pendants are offered in cream yellow, white, or ice (translucent) color options. Canopy is constructed of metal, and features a white lacquered finish. Shown with 3 cream yellow pendants and 78" cables.
Note: The maximum number of Havana pendants that can be installed per canopy is 6. For custom orders, please call (866) 428-9289 for assistance.

Amazon Isn't Netflix
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Amazon (AMZN) is nothing like Netflix (NFLX).
Despite a similar after-hours massacre following their third-quarter reports and blurry outlooks that could turn out to be losses, Amazon's business isn't broken like Netflix.
Amazon's profit miss, thinning margins and disappointing fourth-quarter outlook are solely products of the company investing in expansion and seem to have little to do with its customers.
In fact, active customers increased by 26% during the quarter to 152 million, which is the fastest growth since early 2004."We believe active customers are a strong indicator of the underlying health of the Amazon platform," Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Justin Post wrote in a note. And fundamental demand, though slowing, remains sound with unit growth at 53%. There are also some early indications that its investments are paying off, with U.S. media sales growing 21% to $4.15 billion. Amazon also said it is adding 17 new fulfillment centers in 2011, compared with its prior plan of 15. In fact, the money Amazon is investing in the Kindle Fire, fulfillment centers and its web services, are expected to only build customer loyalty. Kindle Fire users will receive one month free of Amazon Prime, a tactic used to get more people to sign up for the $79-a-year service. Amazon Prime members receive free two-day shipping, as well as access to about 12,000 (and growing) streaming movies and television shows. Currently, Amazon Prime boasts about 12 million members who buy four times more merchandise from the e-commerce giant than the regular shopper, according to ChannelAdvisor, an e-commerce business software firm. B of A's Post estimates that an active Amazon shopper spends about $115 per year on media and that tablet users will spend about 50% more on books, movies, music and games. This could add about $60 a year in annual media sales per Fire customer. While Netflix, in comparison, beat third-quarter estimates on both the top and bottom line, its domestic subscribers base is waning following several strategic blunders. Higher subscription rates, the upcoming removal of Liberty Starz content and the company's hasty move to split the business and subsequent abandonment of that plan, have all led to irate subscribers who have lost confidence in the brand and its leader Reed Hastings.

It's Christmas Day. I hope Santa Clause was good to everyone, and to those you care about. That's important, you know. And, I hope everyone takes a minute or two — actually, we should all take a lot more time than that — to reflect of the real meaning of Christmas.
Volunteers from Mohawk Valley Bassmasters and others in the Connecticut B.A.S.S. Federation Nation collected $6,000 worth of toys so local children would have presents to open this weekend.
Bass anglers are pretty specific with their wish list for Santa Claus. Loved ones, beware: Many anglers are dreaming of some pretty big presents under the tree.
You may not know it, but right now is a great time to catch a giant smallmouth bass. My friend, the late Billy Westmoreland — the best smallmouth angler who ever lived — hooked the biggest smallmouth of his life on Christmas Day in the early 1970s.

Four new dungeons are coming to TERA next week with the Dungeon Assault update. Each of the four dungeons are designed for groups of various sizes with the 3-player Channelworks being the smallest followed by the 5-player Shattered Forest, the 7-player Kezzel's Gorge, and what looks like a twisted nightmare of Through the Looking Glass with the 10-player Wonderholme dungeon.
As with any new dungeon, new loot also accompanies the update, which En Masse calls the "strongest gear in TERA." Various pieces of gear can be obtained by running the dungeons, saving up specific currencies, or by using your crafting skills. There are even new set bonus items that grow in power with each additional piece worn. You can read all about them on the Dungeon Assault update page.
If you would like an early look at the new dungeons, head over and check out the recent TERA Twitch broadcast replays and the new trailers on YouTube.
Sources: TERA Dungeon Assault Announcement, En Masse Press Release
Latest Update to Introduce Four Deadly Dungeons, New Game Modes, Epic Bosses, and Elite Gear
En Masse Entertainment, a player-driven publisher focused on delivering fun and innovative online games, announced today it is adding four all-new dungeons with dynamic new game modes, epic bosses, and elite gear to its MMO, TERA: Rising. Scheduled to launch on September 10, 2013, the Dungeon Assault update is packed with new content, taking players from the mysterious Wonderholme castle to tower defense battles against beasts of legend. With these new challenges and adventures come some of the greatest rewards yet for TERA: Rising's growing community of over 2 million players. Gear up with some of the strongest armor in the game by "Leveling Up" Conjunct, Visionmaker, and Bloodrave armor sets – and defeat the mightiest foes for rare loot.
Get a sneak peek at the new dungeons with the following content overview:
Kezzel's Gorge
Shattered Fleet
The recipient of multiple industry accolades, including "Best PC Game" at E3 and "Best Combat" at PAX, TERA gives players the best of both worlds: MMO depth delivered with the visceral gratification of an action game. In TERA: Rising, players actively aim, dodge, and block, as the game's real-time combat system takes into account player skill and position as well as stats. Players join a united federation to save the world and can also participate in the game's forward-thinking political system, through which they wield power based on their in-game political prowess or PvP combat skill. New players can enjoy standard status for free with no level cap or content restrictions. Previous purchasers retain permanent founder status with special privileges. Elite status is available for players who want to further customize their gameplay experience.
For more information on TERA: Rising – or to start playing for free – please visit tera.enmasse.com.

President Barack Obama says one of the heaviest drags on the nation's economic recovery is getting lighter, as the housing picture improves.
In his weekly address, Obama blamed Republicans for holding up homeowner relief.
"They banded together and prevented millions of Americans, including many of you listening today, from saving $3,000 a year. That's money that could have gone back into the value of your home, or your kid's college savings account," Obama said. "That's money that could have gone into your local businesses, so they could hire and create more jobs in your town."
The president said he knows Congress is not likely to act on the plan before the election, but he urged Americans to contact their representatives to ask for help.
Meanwhile, in their weekly address, Republicans blasted Obama for what they say is out of control federal spending.
Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake said the budget deficit stands at $1.1 trillion, making it the fourth year in a row government has spent more money than it earned.
He said Democrats are sitting back while Americans continue to struggle.
"While House Republicans have passed a budget that addresses our challenges head on, Democrats in the Senate have failed to even attempt to do their homework. They have not passed a budget in over 1,200 days," Flake said.
Flake said Obama wants to spend another $500 billion on legislation that will not fix the problem.
He hoped the "recess from fiscal sanity" is over.

Convicted of raping and killing 16 year old San Antonio girl
Houston — The Associated Press is reporting; The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has refused to stop the scheduled execution this week of a Mexican national for raping and killing a 16-year-old San Antonio girl.
The panel voted 4-1 Tuesday to deny a reprieve request for 38-year-old Humberto Leal. The same board refused by a 5-0 vote to commute Leal's death sentence to life in prison.
Leal still has appeals asking the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his Thursday lethal injection for the 1994 rape and killing slaying of Adria Sauceda.
Leal's lawyers say he should have had the opportunity to get legal help from the Mexican government after he was arrested for the girl's murder. Leal came to the United States when he was about 18 months old.

- 0Dec 11, '11 by courtknee123Hi everyone!
So how far have you gotten on your checklist? I have my final TB tomorrow and I will be done with health clearance stuff and will just have to see the school's nurse to get checked off. I bought uniforms and shoes/watch. Drug test is done as well as background check. Also I was able to register for my classes today! I can't believe we will start in about 3 weeks. Did anyone pick the Jan. 4th BLS class from 8:00-12:00?
If anyone has any questions about the check list or cost of anything let me know.
Happy Holidays!
- 0Jan 23, '12 by JenAposAttn: 2nd-4th Semester Students-
Hello, we have our first exam in theory thursday and I'm wondering if you have any study tips? I've done all the reading, answered all the course objective questions, and done quizes online etc. I'm purchaseing a NCLEX book tonight too. I'm guessing I should probably go back through the power points...? What are my other first semester students doing to prepare? What are/have previous students done to prepare?
Thanks in advance for any input!
- 0Mar 30, '12 by kawaiinomikoHey everyone! Anybody getting ready to apply to MJC's nursing program this May? It will be my first time applying, and I was just wondering who else out there might be applying, too. =)
- 0Jun 16, '12 by kawaiinomikoHey bb_luna and Faith89, I believe we'll find out if were accepted or not by end of July, early August if they're really swamped. I believe someone from the nursing office had said there were about 700 who applied last year. I'd like to know how many of those applicants were actually complete or eligible, though. In any case, we first timers have a smaller chance, but a chance none the less! =)
- 0Jul 5, '12 by marciaortiz1219I submitted my nursing application back in May. I never attended MJC, and on Tuesday I got an email from Admission and Records saying that I was accepted to their school. Did anyone else get an email similar to the one I got?
- 0Jul 6, '12 by JenAposUsually afer filling out an online application to the college (or submitting one in the mail) they email you a confirmation that you are accepted. This is not the nursing acceptance. The letter for the nursing program comes directly from the nursing department/Allied Health office in the mail. I got accepted last year with a January start date. I remember getting my acceptance really late...I think it was the last week of July or first week of August. Good luck to you!!

The Network Testbed Mapping Problem
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The Network Testbed Mapping Problem is the problem of mapping an emulated network into a test cluster such as Emulab or DETER. In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the Network Testbed Mapping Problem is NP-complete when there is constrained bandwidth between cluster switches. They demonstrate that the problem is trivial when bandwidth is unconstrained, and note that a number of new proposals for data center networking have removed this barrier. Finally, they consider new heuristics in the bandwidth-limited case.

it a 4"11!!!
so when skimming do you ever actually hit the wave or are you one of those that skim in an inch of water like your picture? serious question.. cause if you actually can hit the waves and ride them and your a half decent swimmer with a quick pop up just start with like a 6'2 thats what i did. picked surfing up pretty quick
rides a little different cant really swing the back like on a skimboard... and put up a cooler pic
hey hey now. that is a radical action shot. it oozes athleticism and you can practically see space bending behind him as he sizzles across the action zone. he needs to trade in that old vic for a state of the art sandpiper skimboard though. KB4L would never lead you wrong. besides, it is too cold to surf now.
Last edited by Kneeboarder4Life; Oct 29, 2008 at 07:34 PM.
Actually this pic was taken just after a pop shuv it in about an 2 inches of water... My boy was a little late with the shot... He at least got a decent pic of my end ride lol... Dont worry ill post another pic after i come back from Costa in 2 weeks...
I would def. have to go with KB4L on that one. I think the best board i have ever riden was a sandpiper. This is why i still crush one. I feel there might be a little bit of jealousy in there air. I think somebody, not mentioning any names, might not be able to do a shove-it on any type of board. That is not a world i live in, thank god.

Offer: Gender, HIV and Human Rights: A Training Manual
Gender, HIV and Human Rights: A Training Manual
Author/Editor(s): Madhu Bala Nath, UNAIDS/UNIFEM
More than 33 million adults are currently living with AIDS. Although HIV infection was initially concentrated in male populations, the proportion of women with HIV/AIDS has been increasing, with the most dramatic rise seen in developing nations. These are regions, not coincidentally, where women have very limited knowledge of the disease and effective precautionary measures. Societal misconceptions about the illness and limited access to medical resources exacerbate the situation.
The training manual "Gender, HIV and Human Rights" is an invaluable resource for community-based AIDS workers. Experience has shown that community-based AIDS projects that enhance the decision-making power of women - in partnership with men - work well to prevent the transmission of the virus and to enrich women's capacities to care for the people who are afflicted by it.
Comprehensive background information on the epidemic is combined with step-by-step training for community members and questionnaires dealing with common misconceptions about the illness lead to eye-opening statistics certain to stimulate discussion. Poignant case studies from various countries illustrate the dangers of limited knowledge. The manual also responds to the demand of HIV/AIDS gender-specific requirements by helping trainers enhance their understanding about the gender dimensions of HIV/AIDS, so that they can then effectively influence a critical mass of change makers in their "spheres of influence".
The training manual is an educational and inspiring stimulus to public health staff, educators, policy makers and anyone interested in projects being used to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Brazil's 2014 FIFA World Cup dress rehearsal has proven a big hit with holidaymakers on football-based specialist tours.
The recently finished Confederations Cup gave fans a taste of what to expect next year.
Holidaymakers visiting the competition's six city venues spent over £90 million to boost the local economy during the 15 day-event, according to Embratur, the Brazilian tourism board.
Foreign football tourists stayed on average for about 10 days on their city breaks, while Brazilians stayed for three days in the game's locality.
Flávio Dino, president of Embratur, said: "These numbers show how mega-events bring a direct return on investment to the local economy."
But this is just the start.
The Confederations Cup launches a three-year series of mega-festivals and events that Brazil is staging, including next year's World Cup and World Youth Day and the 2016 Olympics.
The latter two are being staged excessively in Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil is using the 2014 events to showcase itself as a major tourist destination, with its sumptuous beaches, including Rio's legendary Copacabana and the stunning statue of Christ the Redeemer.
The country is expected to welcome 600,000 foreigners and benefit from 3.1 million domestic trips over the World Cup's four-week duration.

NEW YORK (ETF Expert) -- Jobless claims have been rising. Earnings growth has been decelerating. Revenue growth has been stalling. Mortgage applications dipped to the lowest level in two decades.
Is it possible that we have been placing a little too much faith in the ability of central banks to support asset prices?
Granted, there is no reason for gloom or doom in the intermediate term. Corporate balance sheets are strong. Trailing 12-month P/Es are fairly valued or perhaps slightly overvalued. Most notably, the majority of developed world stock ETFs offer convincing technical uptrends.
Nevertheless, one should at least question the reasons behind the super-sized confidence in certain assets. In some instances, the boldness may very well be warranted. In other cases, it appears that momentum itself has superseded common sense.
You decide. Here are three exchange-traded funds and my take on the sensibility of the price movement.1. iShares MSCI Italy (EWI). Nearly every eurozone economy has grown since the year 2000, including Spain. The one exception? Italy. Employment data show that labor force participation for Italy is at a dismal 55.6%, well below the eurozone average of 63.8%.
Granted, I have been willing to invest in regional growth via iShares MSCI Small Cap EAFE (SCZ). This is a nod to the high probability of additional European Central Bank stimulus as well as modest regional economic growth. However, peripheral countries like Spain and Italy could be the hardest hit should the ECB balk at cutting rates on March 6. 2. Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury (EDV). In 2013, few asset classes suffered as greatly as long-dated Treasury bonds. Since the Federal Reserve began tapering in December, though, funds like EDV and Pimco 25 Year+ Zero Coupon (ZROZ) have been extremely successful in the exchange-traded universe. I explained in December and early January that the deceleration of interest rate manipulation by the central bank of the U.S. would actually increase financial market uncertainty, likely sending many investors back toward traditional safe havens.

data from populations where a positive tuberculin reaction had a very high likelihood of indicating true infection.
If we apply these interventions to populations with a lesser likelihood of being truly infected, two phenomena will occur. The first is that the effectiveness of the intervention will appear to be increased. As the number of persons with false-positive reactions increases, the likelihood of true infection in the population decreases, and the likelihood of disease developing subsequent to the intervention decreases in like proportion. Second, the true effectiveness of the intervention actually decreases. As the proportion of people with the condition to be prevented decreases, there is less to prevent and the number of cases actually prevented falls. This actual decrease in true benefit results in a rise in the cost-benefit and risk-benefit ratios.

New to the site but its helped me vastly over the past week or two! I hope someone will be able to help with my latest issue no amount of googling has been able to resolve this yet!
We have a mac server running OD, I have 10 Imacs (snow leopard) connected to said OD Master Server (snow leopard) and users are able to login with their network accounts.
Looking on the client imacs they are sucessfully connected to the server, Ive added the computers in WGM using the Ethernet ID and IP address and have a group called Mac Suite.
I must be missing something fundemental as no matter what I try I can not get WGM to enforce any preferences onto the workstations or users, this previously worked before rebuilding the server. I have reimaged all the workstations.
I wondered if it could be a DNS releated issue as in ARD3 the DNS names are incorrect, I can connect to machines fine and users can connect to all network resources (shared areas, home directories on both mac and windows boxes)
Here is a list of trouble shoooting steps I have taken thus far...none have worked;
Disabled DNS on the OD server and used our internal windows DNS as the server address
Refreshed the cache on all clients
Tried using DHCP over a manually address, rebooted refreshed IP
Any ideas on where to go, ideally Id like to WGM applying preferences otherwise Im screwed come first week back!!!!!!!!]
Thanks in advance for any input

Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Daimler AG, the world's largest maker of heavy-duty vehicles, said demand for Mercedes-Benz trucks hasn't shown signs of an impact from a slowing economy.
"In spite of the debt crisis, we have good reason to be optimistic," Chief Executive Officer Dieter Zetsche said in a speech at the company's truck factory in Woerth, Germany, where production of the revamped Actros model started today.
Mercedes-Benz truck plants will be working at full capacity through the end of this year and have a "good level" of orders for the first quarter, he said, adding that demand for the long- haul Actros 40-ton hauler, which cost more than 2 billion euros ($2.7 billion) to develop and prepare factories, was "encouraging."
Zetsche reiterated the company's goal of gaining market share as it targets sales of 500,000 trucks by 2013, 41 percent more than the 355,000 vehicles sold last year.

win 7 32
emails appearing on wrong computer
I have Win 7, my wife has Win 8. Recently emails sent to me are also appearing on her computer.
We both have AOL.
The emails are addressed to only me.
How can this happen?

Hello 3shorts,
The first thing I would think of is an email account being "hacked"...
Maybe someone got a contacts list or address from you or your wife's PC/email-id somehow, and is causing this.
I'm just guessing here, but if this happened to me, that would be a concern.
For that, I would start running scans for Virus(s) and Malware.
Also, a bit more detail would help.
Are you both using AOL Web mail (browser)?
Or, are you using client programs such as MS Office Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.?
I would also check and make sure automatic forwarding did not somehow get enabled.

Captured in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Canon 5D with 17-40 mm lens mounted on a tripod. I also used a Canon EX580 flash and fired it twice, off the camera without any TTL or other readings, holding it off to the right of the image above.

I like the smooth waterflow. At what shutterspeed was the pic taken?
Well done!!!
This was around a 20 second exposure with a high aperture setting. I think I had the aperture set at 20 as well. (I'd need to look to look it up in my files to say for certain though….. )
– Glennis Siverson
amazing shot
must have been pretty dark for a 20 second exposure
turned out perfect!

"Adverse drug events (ADEs) are believed to be among the leading causes of mortality in the United States, with an estimated 100,000 deaths per year," according to background information in the article. However, there is little U.S. data on the occurrence of potentially dangerous drug-drug, drug-laboratory, and drug-disease interactions in outpatients. Black box warnings are separate, highlighted messages on drug labels that were developed by the Food and Drug Administration to help physicians avoid serious ADEs.
Karen E. Lasser, M.D., M.P.H., of Cambridge Health Alliance and Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, Mass., and colleagues, examined data from 51 outpatient practices to see how often physicians prescribed drugs in violation of black box warnings. The researchers analyzed electronic health records of 324,548 outpatients who received at least one prescription between January 1 and December 31, 2002.
The researchers found that 0.7 percent (2,354) of those outpatients received a prescription in violation of a black box warning. Of these patients who received a prescription with a black box warning, most (90.6 percent) were at risk for a drug-disease interaction, followed by a drug-laboratory interaction (26.6 percent; patient did not receive adequate monitoring) and a drug-drug interaction (3.3 percent). Patients who were white, female and 75 years of age or older and who took more medications were significantly more likely to be prescribed medications in violation of black box warnings. The researchers then analyzed a sample of 575 of the 2,354 patient records with prescriptions in violation of black box warnings and found that less than 1 percent of those patients had a documented adverse drug reaction as a result.
The researchers commented that similar studies have shown that prescribers fail to follow black box warnings much more frequently than observed in this study.
"We believe these data have implications for the Food and Drug Administration," the researchers write. "The Food and Drug Administration should make these warnings more specific, so that they are readily understandable by providers, and so that such providers can easily take action to avoid violating the warnings."

11 Trending Words of 2014
philosopher who was one of Socrates' disciples and the founder of the Cyrenaic school of hedonism, the ethic of pleasure (see Cyrenaics). The first of Socrates' disciples to demand a salary for teaching philosophy, Aristippus believed that the good life rests upon the belief that among human values pleasure is the highest and pain the lowest (and one that should be avoided). He also warned his students to avoid inflicting as well as suffering pain. Like Socrates, Aristippus took great interest in practical ethics. While he believed that men should dedicate their lives to the pursuit and enjoyment of pleasure, he also believed that they should use good judgment and exercise self-control to temper powerful human desires. His motto was, "I possess, I am not possessed." None of his writings survives.

Love it for my small and medium dogs
Janis from Palo Alto, CA– Verified Buyer
Simple to use & effective. Keeps my dogs safe in the back seat. No more worries about them hopping into my lap while I'm driving or jumping out an open window or door. Also keeps them from slipping off the seat during turns, stops & starts. Good quality. Exactly what I wanted!
dog safety belt
Marlene from Frankford, DE– Verified Buyer
Great to use when traveling with our dogs. The belt hooks into the car's seat belt and then attaches to their harnesses. When we make stops we don't have to worry about them jumping out of the car.

Great Item
Anne Di Lucca from Bronx, NY– Verified Buyer
I love this for my dog when I take her in the car. She is a GSD mix and it fits her height perfectly. She can stand up in the back seat with no problem. It keeps her secure and she doesn't seem to mind it at all.
Great addition to the harness
Becky Mulloy from Freeland, MI– Verified Buyer
This is a much needed addition to the car harness. My dog got all tangled up without this belt. We had to stop the car twice to keep her from strangling herself. With this she can move without becoming entangled.
Easy and fast solution
Traveling Me from Houston, TX– Verified Buyer
Super easy way to ensure your dog's safety! Just click and go and cheap...the cost but not the product!! Everyone with a dog should get one of these and just keep it in your glove box in case you need it or just keep it inserted in your seat belt always - can't go wrong buying this !!!!
just what we needed
nan rabinowitz from Montclair, NJ– Verified Buyer
NJ has enacted a "seat belt for dogs" law.
Great security
BK from Holland, MI– Verified Buyer
Love the fact that I can click in my own seat belt clasp and don't have to try to loop it thru' my car belt. Have had a couple times where my dog has either pulled it out or stepped on the release and freed her self.
5 Stars
Lilach from Washington
This arrived just as described. The online description was very fitting. I am happy with it & I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good quality product.
Real convenient

President Obama is preparing for another drawn-out legislative and public battle over yet another contentious and unwieldy issue: immigration reform. But in this case, he may get help from some surprising sources at the right of the political spectrum. —KA
The New York Times:
Hispanic storefront churches are popping up in strip malls, and Spanish-speaking congregations are renting space in other churches. Some pastors, like Mr. Hybels, lead churches that include growing numbers of Hispanics. Several evangelical leaders said they were convinced that Hispanics are the key to growth not only for the evangelical movement, but also for the social conservative movement.
"Hispanics are religious, family-oriented, pro-life, entrepreneurial," said the Rev. Richard D. Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the Southern Baptist Convention's public policy arm. "They are hard-wired social conservatives, unless they're driven away.
"I've had some older conservative leaders say: 'Richard, stop this. You're going to split the conservative coalition,' " Dr. Land continued. "I say it might split the old conservative coalition, but it won't split the new one. And if the new one is going to be a governing coalition, it's going to have to have a lot of Hispanics in it. And you don't get a lot of Hispanics in your coalition by engaging in anti-Hispanic anti-immigration rhetoric."
AP / Charles Dharapak
President Barack Obama is introduced by Pastor Bill Hybels of Chicago's Willow Creek Community Church before speaking about immigration reform on July 1 at American University in Washington.

December 22, 2014
DALLAS,TX. (AP) - Two dating websites are being sued for allegedly using a fallen soldier's photo in ads "Military Man Searching for Love."
Army Lt. Peter Burks' parents have sued PlentyofFish.com and True.com, alleging that they used Burks' photo in ads without their permission, commercially benefited and misled customers.
The parents say the photo was taken days before Burks was killed in Iraq in 2007. The photo is on another website that provides supplies to troops.
PlentyofFish Media spokesman Paul Bloudoff says the ad was blocked from the Vancouver, British Columbia-based company's network. He says PlentyofFish has no control over third-party ad content posted on its site.
Burks' parents filed the lawsuit Monday in state district court in Dallas, where True.com is based.
True.com President Ruben Buell says he hasn't seen the lawsuit.

A gent spots a nice looking girl in a bar goes up and starts small talk. Seeing that she didn't back off he asked her name.
"Carmen," she replied.
That's a nice name," he said warming up the conversation, "Who named you, your mother?"
"No, I named myself", she answered.
"Oh, that's interesting. Why Carmen?"
"Because I like cars, and I like men," she said looking directly into his eyes. "So what's your name?" she asked.
