|Win Tickets To See The Godfather At The BFI
Plus Al Pacino goodies
To celebrate the BFI's mammoth Al Pacino season running throughout February and March this year, we've partnered with them to offer one lucky reader tickets to see THE GODFATHER (screening date of their choice), a copy of Mario Puzo's original book, The Godfather (published by Arrow), a THE GODFATHER poster and a Blu-ray copy of Serpico.
Throughout February and March the BFI Southbank will celebrate the career of one of the world's most popular living stage and screen actors, Al Pacino. Starring in some of the most iconic roles of all time, Pacino's illustrious career has spanned from such classics as The Godfather Trilogy (1972, 1974 & 1990), Scarface (1983), and Serpico (1973) to Sea of Love (1989), Scent of a Woman (1992) and Insomnia (2001). The recipient of countless awards, including an Oscar, 5 Golden Globes, 2 Emmys, a BAFTA and 2 Tonys, Pacino's acting talents are undisputable; however, he has not always been content to stay in front of the camera, taking on directing duties for Looking for Richard (1996), Chinese Coffee (2000), Wilde Salomé (2011) and most recently Salomé (2013). From a career that has (so far) produced over 40 film roles, the BFI Southbank season will screen 20 of his greatest films, with the centrepiece of the season being an Extended Run of a 4K restoration of Francis Ford Coppola's masterly The Godfather Part II (1974), which returns to cinemas in a nationwide release from 21 February.
To see the full listings for the BFI's Al Pacino season see here. SERPICO will be released on blu-ray on February 24 2014.

What a Baby Toy Can Teach You About an Artichoke
Five strange-but-true ways to make your food taste better—from a trick to remember at the supermarket to a foolproof way to keep fruit fresh.
1 of 5
Listen For the Noisy Artichoke
You know those baby toys that let out a little squeak when you squeeze them? Turns out those rubber giraffes have something in common with artichokes, says Marcy Smothers, author of Snacks: Adventures in Food, Aisle by Aisle. Smothers spent years amassing all kinds of strange-but-useful tidbits about the foods we eat. She'd heard an old wives' tale that the best artichokes make noise when you give them a pinch, and she tested the theory to see if it works. Turns out that if these leafy thistles are fresh, they will squeak softly when you hold them close to your ear and press gently from both sides. The sound means they're well hydrated—which is exactly what you want, whether you're boiling, steaming, roasting or baking them. And don't discount artichokes that have white blisters or blotches during the winter months. They're "frost-kissed," says Smothers, with a nutty flavor and tender texture.

Beautiful May Wedding
We had no experience with this resort before planning my daughter's wedding. But were not disappointed!. Reservation desk, catering manager, chef, staff all were above beyond expectations. Highly recommend.
5 Stars
My husband and I recently got married at GSL. The north shore has always been incredibly special to my husband and I and this seemed like the perfect spot. From the very beginning staff was very helpful and friendly. Even right before the wedding some things started happening and the staff at GSL was flexible and eager to help in any way they could. All we heard from our guests the whole evening was "this was the perfect wedding" and guests couldn't stop telling us how beautiful the resort was. We worked with Nancy and she was absolutely amazing. My husband is a big craft beer drinker so when it came time to pick kegs she was on top of getting us prices and lists of local craft brews. I cannot thank GSL enough for making our wedding perfect! –Erin

ESRL Global Systems Division
Earth Systems Research Laboratory - Global Systems Division: Outreach/Education
Demonstrating NOAA Science with Marshmallows and Balloons
Demonstrating NOAA Science with Marshmallows and Balloons
GSD's Andy Loughe demonstrating cloud science to a group of eager Scouts.
El Paso County Fairgrounds in Calhan, CO was abuzz last weekend (April 24-26) when some two hundred bustling Boy Scouts from the UTE district of the Pike's Peak Council set up for their annual spring camporee. In support of this year's science and technology theme, NOAA was present to teach the youth about weather concepts and safety during the event's hands-on education activities. Andy Loughe of ESRL's Global Systems Division impressed his captured audience with experiments about air pressure and cloud development and dissipation. A long-time Scouter and teacher of the Scouting weather merit badge, Loughe also distributed "thunder tubes" and brochures to raise awareness of lightning safety since Scouts often encounter severe thunderstorms first hand.
"We couched our whole learning experience in terms of scientific experimentation and hypothesis development and testing," said Loughe. "We started off by observing how high and low pressure affect inflated objects (balloons and marshmallows). Then we moved to cloud development experiments and showed how high pressure and low pressure affect the dissipation or development of small clouds." This was achieved using a small air compressor and a large, bell-shaped glass jar that was subjected to small amounts of condensation nuclei (dust particles) and water vapor (water).
The participants were very surprised by some of their incorrect hypotheses; thinking, for example, that reducing external pressure would reduce the size of the marshmallows and balloons or generally believing that high pressure was associated with poor weather. "Seeing that 'ah-ha' moment was especially cool," said Loughe. "If you can demonstrate the fallacy of these mistaken hypotheses, it's easier for kids to internalize their own observations. This is active learning, not just rote memorization of facts."

State winners from Indiana, South Carolina and Illinois are Runners-Up
WASHINGTON, April 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A young lawyer who recognized a business niche when a friend had trouble finding an internship was today named National Small Business Person of the Year for turning his idea into a multi-million dollar Web site.
The announcement was made during ceremonies at the U.S. Small Business Administration's celebration of National Small Business Week 2008.
"Shawn Boyer is a perfect example of the creativity and inspiration it takes to become a highly successful entrepreneur in America today," said SBA Administrator Steve Preston. "He identified an unmet need and filled it, and today, barely eight years later, his company, SnagAJob.com, has become a hugely successful site for posting and finding hourly and part-time jobs, connecting millions of registered job seekers with active job postings.
"In doing so, Shawn demonstrated the qualities that make small businesses such a powerful force in the American economy, and in their communities," Preston said.
First runner-up is Angela R. Timm, founder and CEO of Cottage Garden, Inc., in Bainbridge, Ind. Two entrepreneurs tied for second runner-up: Deborah Moore, founder and CEO of AccuStat EMR of Myrtle Beach, S.C., and George Burciaga, founder and CEO of smarTECHS.net, of Chicago, Ill.
The National Small Business Person of the Year and runners-up were selected from among the 53 state small business winners, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam, who are being honored this week in Washington, D.C, as part of National Small Business Week. The awards were announced at today's national Awards Luncheon, sponsored by Sam's Club at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
The top winner, Shawn Boyer, 35, was working as a transactional
attorney for a Washington, D.C., law firm when a friend asked him to online
to help look for a summer internship.

GREENBELT, Md. - A federal grand jury has indicted Scott Smallwood, 27, of Upper Marlboro, Md., on seven counts of sexual exploitation of a minor to produce child pornography.
The arrest was announced by U. S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein, Special Agent in Charge William Winter of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); Prince George's County Police Department Chief Roberto L. Hylton; and Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey.
According to the seven count indictment, on Feb. 4 and Feb.12, 2010, Smallwood, formerly a Prince George's County School bus driver, allegedly induced a young boy to engage in sexually explicit conduct in order to produce a video file of such conduct. In four instances, the video allegedly depicts Smallwood sexually abusing the young boy.
Smallwood faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison for producing child pornography, followed by supervised release up to life. No court appearance has been scheduled. Smallwood has been detained since his arrest on May 21, 2010.
This investigation is part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers. Since Operation Predator was launched in July 2003, ICE agents have arrested more than 12,800 individuals.
ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.
U. S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Stacy Dawson Belf, who is prosecuting the case and commended Prince George's County Assistant State's Attorney Renee Battle Brooks who is assisting in the investigation and prosecution.

American Airlines Baggage System Back Up at JFK
New York, NY —
American Airlines' baggage handling system at Kennedy Airport is up and running again a day after a software glitch caused dozens of delays, some cancellations, and a luggage pileup at ticket counters.
American had canceled six flights scheduled to depart from JFK this morning.
The malfunction led to five cancellations and delays on 48 flights yesterday out of Terminal 8, one of the newer buildings at Kennedy.
A spokesperson says crews are working to get luggage onto flights and back to their owners.
The breakdown upset many passengers already frustrated by American's recent move to charge fees for all checked bags on flights within the U.S. and Canada. American waived its fees yesterday for travelers checking fewer than three bags at Kennedy.

There was this wild ass band playing on Thursday night this past Burn that was so fun to watch.

Picky Palate's Almond Lovers' Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
My friend Jenny (author of the blog, Picky Palate) loves creating cookies, and delicious recipes which are bound together in her beautiful cookbook called, The Picky Palate Cookbook. (A lovely, lovely gift idea!)
I love traveling with Jenny or following her on Instagram, because if given the chance, she'll find the quaint cupcake, cookies, or chocolate stores. And then post yummy pictures. :) In this case, last summer we sampled chocolates together on a press trip up in Washington.
Where we had a bunch of fun together. Jenny's one of the most generous, loving bloggers I've met. Downright genuine and caring and sweet!
(Shaina, Jessica, Jenny, Amanda, and me.)
What I love about Jenny's blog, and now her new cookbook, is how family friendly it is. It's full of recipes "for picky eaters," and seriously, for those who say they are "hospitality-challenged," this is your book.
-Easy cooking
-Scrumptious recipes
-Fun dinnertime meals & games for your kids
I love her charming head notes before each recipe, and she gives great tips, suggestions, and substitution ideas (again, for the hospitality-challenged cook!).
Today I'm sharing Jenny's Almond Lovers' Chocolate Chip Cookies. Yum!
She talks about almond butter.
Makes it very clear to use a "medium cookie scoop." (I have 3 sizes of Pampered Chef scoops in my kitchen.)
And if you have kids, Jenny says to … "have the kids sit at the counter and help add all the ingredients to the mixer." Yup, that's exactly what I did with my 3 kids (who are now 20, 18, and 16).
By the way, I've always kept 3 sizes of scoops in my kitchen. They are actually some of my favorite kitchen tools.
What size scoop(s) do you have in your kitchen? Do you scoop your cookies, or simply spoon them?
Recipe: Almond Lovers' Chocolate Chip Cookies {ReluctantEntertainer.com}
Summary: Delicious cooke recipe using pure almond paste from Picky Palate cookbook.
- 8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 packed cup light brown sugar
- 3 ounces pure almond paste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 T. vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 12-ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped almonds
- Preheat the oven to 350 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Add the butter and sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer, beating until light and fluffy. Add the almond paste in pieces, beating until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla, beating until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then the chocolate chips and almonds, beating until just combined.
- With a medium cookie scoop, place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet 1 inch apart and bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges just start to turn golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy!

Hmm, my kitchen is scoopless. I must remedy that. But those cookies look amazing, and maybe that is the cookbook for me and my one very picky daughter. If I can get to eat anything other than mac and cheese or PB and J it's miraculous!

Anthony Gonzalez, sitting on the bench during the Colts' Oct. 3 loss at Tampa Bay, keeps hoping he will get a chance to help the Colts.

In an attempt at pulling out of their season-long freefall, the Indianapolis Colts seemingly have tried everything and everybody.
Well, not everybody, at least not in a realistic sense.
Anthony Gonzalez waits. ...

You can catch more of the best money advice and monetary commentary by him daily 10am PT, 1pm ET at WealthEd.com or on Comcast Cable.
The worm has turned for China and the U.S. But unfortunately its because both countries are rotten apples, full of worms.
I always thought it was Skynet that was going to run the Apocalypse. Or perhaps an Atari computer system named Joshua that just wanted to play chess with its floppy disks.
In 2011, masochistic Liberals embraced China as the model empire from which the United States could learn much. They were organized, we heard.
I interrupt the reality TV shows that are the Republican GOP Presidential Race and, on alternate days, the Barack Obama Show or Hillarys Hilarious Magical Email Mystery Tour, for this public service announcement: Buried under the Jeb Bush rhetoric is a lot of big government covered up by a thousand point of light.
Markit came out with manufacturing numbers yesterday that sounded loud warnings to Wall Streeters that Yellen and Company may have their headquarters where their hindquarters ought to be in much the same way that Benanke and Company had.
There is a raft of stories coming from the media now in anticipation of a government shutdown. Most have the same basic theme: A shutdown of the government would affect the economy at a time that it cant afford any slackening in government spending.
This was the year that, finally, mercifully, monetary policy was supposed to normalize. At least thats what Janet Yellen was telegraphing to the markets at the beginning of the year.
Since monetary policy cant ensure a growing economy and president Obama acts like he doesnt consider a healthy economy even necessary, the only thing left to do is what they should have done long ago: Get rid of the regulatory burden thats keeping the brakes on the economy.
The non-event this week of whether the Fed will or won't raise interest rates, symbolically, metaphorically, or categorically, will make headlines whether we like it or not.
A new survey of Harvard business alumni is exhibit Number One on why our ruling elite just cant manage to understand the gravity of the crisis that this country is facing.
Last week the government bragged about how the deficit would be much smaller this year than anticipated.
Fear, at least the fear measured by the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), is in high feather right now on Wall Street. And thats probably good for you, as David Williams and I discussed on the most recent RansomNotes.tv.
Almost one year after the Federal Reserve Bank declared victory in the war on unemployment and put an end to artificial stimulus measures, the enemy army is still marching on the capital and killing jobs.
Heres how bad it is in Europe: With economic growth projections being slashed as a result some say of a slow down in China, the European Central Bank (ECB) is getting ready to buy more government bonds. From Greece.
One of the things that we ought to have learned from the 2008 financial meltdown was that a growing diversion between financial markets and the economy cannot be sustained over long periods of time. And when I say long periods of time, I'm talking about periods of 10 years or more, not a two-minute Superbowl commercial.
As the market engages in its first correction since 2011, some market watchers are saying that at least the US economy is healthy.
Yes, they have figured out another doomsday clock that is ticking for you and me.
A new piece by a state expert says bond proceeds provide little of actual value in Chicago.
Most news sites are just happy to fact check. But CNNMoney wants to have the ability to decide whats real or not. It's understandable because the magic wand and make-believe are the only tools they can use at this point to defend Obamas economic performance.

LeROY, N.Y. - It is a case that has drawn national attention to the small Genesee County community of LeRoy.
15 students have now reported neurological tics, described as "Tourette-like symptoms". Dr. Laszlo Mechtler of the Dent Neurologic Institute diagnosed the students with conversion disorder, a psychosomatic syndrome that can be caused by stress and the power of suggestion.
Mechtler says that around 70 percent of the students originally began to show marked improvement, and when the national media attention began, about half of them saw their conditions worsen.
He claims that even now the patients who have kept to themselves have improved and are back to normal while the patients who have gone public continue to struggle with symptoms.

One in mission | Linda Valentine
How great is our love?
New Presbyterian World Mission initiative sets out to educate 100,001 children by 2020.
On a mission trip I took to the Philippines, my then 15-year-old daughter Jackie and I visited with people living on the Payatas dumpsite. One woman—who made her home amid the scrap materials and her living at sorting and selling glass and plastic—invited us to sit and talk. With her four-year-old daughter in her lap, she spoke about her life, her business, and her faith in God. Then she told us about her three other children, whom she had sent away so that they could go to a better school and live in a cleaner place.
Here was a woman who—like all of us who are parents, grandparents, aunts, or uncles—wanted her children to go to a good school, live in safety, and have an opportunity at a decent life. She worked hard and let them go away because she loved them that much—and understood the value of education.
Education is at the very heart of the Presbyterian Mission Agency's initiative in poverty alleviation—one of the three critical global issues being addressed by Presbyterian World Mission. The goal is to educate 100,001 children by 2020.
"Education promotes human development, and basic literacy is a gateway skill that empowers the poor to emerge from poverty," says Frank Dimmock, poverty alleviation catalyst for World Mission. But Robert Lupton, author of Toxic Charity, notes that such plans work only through partnerships with those being served.
Not only are such partnerships already under way, but they are making a significant impact, particularly across the continent of Africa.
"Education equips people to care for themselves and their families better and to enjoy richer, deeper relationships with God and with their neighbors," says Doug Tilton, regional liaison for Southern Africa.
In the rural community of Dembi Dollo—where Thomas Lambie established the first Presbyterian mission in Ethiopia nearly a century ago—the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus and the PC(USA) have worked together to establish two preschools. Partnering with Susquehanna Valley Presbytery, they offer instruction in the local Oromo language to about 200 children. The preschools have since become a model for early childhood development for neighboring Bethel synods.
In a similar vein, the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian Synod of Zambia (CCAP Zambia) operates 30 community schools in poor Lusaka compounds and remote rural communities. Together the schools serve nearly 4,000 students. Most of the students live in extreme poverty and are not members of CCAP Zambia congregations but live in the communities where the congregations are located. The effort is a great example of "communities of mission practice," an essential element of World Mission's new strategy to address the root causes of poverty.
"Without the CCAP Zambia community schools, the future of these children would be defined by their poverty and illiteracy," says Nancy Collins, regional liaison for East Central Africa. "The children learn skills, information, and ways of accessing resources that empower them and contribute to a future with greater possibilities. For some children, their enrollment at a CCAP community school may be also their introduction to church, to worship, and to learning about the love of Jesus Christ."
As the collective energy of such partnerships begins to have a measurable impact, we can already envision the day when families around the world—like the family I met at the Payatas dumpsite—will be freed from poverty's grip and people everywhere will come to know the good news of God's intention for a realm of peace and justice. And we, too, will be changed by coming together to live out our faith—convicted to act not only on behalf of God's children across the ocean but also God's children in our own communities who lack access to quality education and a pathway out of poverty.

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is quite a bit richer than the 2005 tasted alongside it. The 2006 shows gorgeous depth as it opens up in the glass. Dark fruit, licorice, smoke and tar are some of the notes that flesh out in this broad-shouldered Cabernet Sauvignon. A creamy, textured finish rounds things out in style.Drink Dates: 2012-2026

($65) Deep medium ruby. Sexy, inviting aromas of dark berries, licorice pastille, spicecake and leather. Densely packed but light on its feet, with good sweetness and breadth to the black fruit flavors. Distinctly round for a young cabernet from this producer. The broad finish features sweet, dusty tannins and excellent length.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Please Contact Geringer Art if you wish to sell a work by this artist.
TRAN VAN CAN (Vietnamese, 1910-1994).
The artist and teacher Tran Van Can was born in Bac Ninh in 1910.
After graduating from engineering school in 1930, he entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Indochine where he was heavily influenced by Joseph Inguimberty (1896-1971) one of the founders of the school. After his graduation in 1936 he became a teacher at the Ecole.
One of his students, painter Vu Giang Huong, former Secretary General of the Viet Nam Fine Arts Association said about him:
"Tran Van Can was a pure artist who devoted his life to creativity. His paintings reveal his profound love
for people and the homeland. Many of them depict the Vietnamese people's will during the wars of resistance against the French and the Americans. He would put himself in life-threatening situations to get inspiration for his paintings."
Can worked as the headmaster for the Ecole from 1954 to 1964 and was the general secretary of the Vietnamese Fine Arts Association between 1958 to 1983. He was also the president of the Vietnamese Association of Graphic Arts between 1983 and 1989.
Among his best known images are depictions of the Vietnamese people at war, and subtle, alluring images of the women of Hanoi.
Tran Van Can died in 1994 in Ha Noi at the age of 75.
