Angelina Jolie's latest flick, Maleficent, won big at the box office this weekend, bringing in a solid $70 million, more than doubling second week contender, X-Men: Days of Future Past. In fact, this was Angelina Jolie's biggest open weekend ever, something I'm sure Disney happy about. Maleficent, which had a budget of approximately $200 million, also stars Elle Fanning (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Super 8) and Sharlto Copley (District 9, Elysium, The A-Team). Elle Fanning is the younger sister of Dakota.
How about those mutants from last week? Well, X-Men: Days of Future Past brought in just over $32 million this weekend, bringing its domestic total over $162 million. That's not the cool part. The international box office shows the film sitting at just over $500 million! That makes the movie the largest grossing X-Men film ever. Oh and for those curious, we should be getting a look at Anna Paquin's deleted scenes when the blu-ray releases.
Coming in at third place at the box office is Seth MacFarlane's latest live-action outing. A Million Ways to Die in the West actually stars the Family Guy and Ted creator in the flesh, along side of Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, and Neil Patrick Harris. The film brought in just over $17 million, which is not promising but it does have some stiff competition from Maleficent, X-Men, and Godzilla which came in at #4 with over $12 in its third week. In fact, Godzilla has hauled in almost $175 million domestically, making it profitable regardless of international audiences, which have been plentiful. Godzilla 2 is already in the works, as well as a third to finish off the trilogy. Does this mean hope for us Pacific Rim fans? Fingers crossed!
The box office top ten round off as follows:
- Maleficent $70 million
- X-Men: Days of Future Past $32.6 million
- A Million Ways to Die in the West $17.1 million
- Godzilla (2014) $12.25 million
- Blended $8.4 million
- Neighbors $7.7 million
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 $3.8 million
- Million Dollar Arm $3.7 million
- Chef $2 million
- The Other Woman (2014) $1.5 million
Notable drops from the top ten include Rio 2 and Heaven is for Real. Rio 2 has been in theaters for eight weeks now but still managed to pull off 8th place last week, making this is a big drop, pulling in less than half in sales.
Meanwhile, Captain America: The Winter Soldier continues its fall, pulling in $600,000 in just 539 theaters.
Next week sees a new blockbuster sci-fi flick in Tom Cruise's latest film, Edge of Tomorrow from Warner Bros. The film co-stars Emily Blunt and takes place in the future when we are at war with an alien species set to take over our planet. The basic plot is very Groundhog day mixed with various science fiction concepts like District 9 and The Matrix. Edge of Tomorrow is based on a graphic novel named All You Need is Kill.
Also coming out this weekend, The Fault in our Stars from Fox. This film stars young actress Shailene Woodley from The Secret Life of the American Teenager and lead of the new film franchise Divergent, based on the book.

Oaks Christian, St. Bonaventure file federal lawsuits against parochial move
Having exhausted all other options in their efforts to remain in the Northern Area, Oaks Christian School and St. Bonaventure High have taken legal action.
Law firms representing the schools filed lawsuits in U.S. District Court on Thursday challenging the CIF-Southern Section's decision to place their sports programs into a competition area with other parochial schools.
Oaks Christian and St. Bonaventure are seeking an injunction to prevent the CIF-SS from placing them into the parochial area for the 2014-15 releaguing cycle.
The lawsuits allege religious discrimination and lack of administrative due process. Named as defendants are Southern Section Commissioner Rob Wigod, the Southern Section and the California Interscholastic Federation.
"I feel like the CIF has forced us to do this," Oaks Christian athletic director Jan Hethcock said. "In all honesty, this is not something we wanted to do, but this is about the students and what is best for them. The decision they made to move us into the Parochial League is not what is best for them."
Oaks Christian and St. Bonaventure are two of four schools that filed lawsuits against the CIF-SS along with Damien High in La Verne and St. Lucy's in Glendora. Three law firms representing the four schools decided to coordinate their actions.
The Southern Section will have 21 days to answer the claims or file a motion to dismiss.
Oaks Christian and St. Bonaventure were moved from the Northern Area into the Parochial Area last November.
The schools appealed the decision before the Southern Section Executive Committee in March, but were turned down.
The biggest concern expressed by both schools is the travel time required to play games against opponents in the Los Angeles County and Orange County areas.
"I have said from the first day this is about the students at St. Bonaventure and the negative impact this move will have on them," St. Bonaventure principal Marc Groff said. "Our kids will be on 10-hour trips to play games in the middle of the week and their academics are going to suffer. They will be doing their homework on buses and not getting home until late at night. It's not fair to them or to their families to have to travel that far."
Oaks Christian claims in its lawsuit that the CIF-SS is discriminating against the religious schools by making them travel extra distances contrary to the CIF-SS' anti-discrimination policy.
"We believe that the CIF-Southern Section's actions violate the federal and state constitutions and also violates the CIF contracts with Oaks Christian and other religious schools that were moved, which prevents discrimination on the basis of religion," Hethcock read from a statement. "Even if the CIF suggests that is was merely attempting to separate private schools from public schools, such an action would be highly improper because the federal and state constitutions and the CIF Southern Section bluebook prohibit the CIF Southern Section from treating similarly situated schools differently based on the status as private or public."
Oaks Christian believes the CIF-SS has shown "complete disregard for the education of our students."
"Not once throughout this entire process, including during our meeting with CIF and during our appeal, has CIF mentioned or even considered whether this is in the best interest of the students as it's required to do," Hethcock read. "It appears the CIF-Southern Section placed the politics of high school sports above the welfare of our students, which we can not accept."
Groff is worried the travel demands will lead to even more widespread ramifications at St. Bonaventure.
"Sports like girls and boys tennis tend to have smaller numbers and if three to four kids don't play because their parents won't let them be in a van or on a bus for that many hours, the program is going to fold," Groff said. "Now you have indirectly taken the right away from all the other kids who want to play because you can't field a team."
Although Groff wanted to avoid filing a lawsuit, he refuses to stop fighting until every last avenue is explored.
"I am confident this is going in a positive direction," Groff said. "I believe reasonable people and a reasonable thought process is going to prevail and something good is going to come out of this."

Revolution Void have a new album out (following up Increase the Dosage) available for download at Jamendo. It's similar to their other work, featuring catchy loops and breakbeats, guitars, samples still retaining jazz roots. The production values seem higher this time around, and the material seems more original and focused too.

Leo Villareal
A few years ago I used to write a lot about digital art. I still like to keep tabs on computer-based arts, so I was excited when I saw Leo Villareal on Cool Hunting: Leo Villareal podcast.
He began by working with sequenced strobe lights, then moved to other forms including LEDs. The video shows software he's using to infuse physics and simulation into his works. Nothing conveys why I enjoy Leo's work more succinctly than comment at the end of the podcast: "it's a deep thing [..] like looking into a fire, it's kind of primal."
British public don't understand copyright issues
I'm unbelievably busy at the moment, but hopefully early next year should see me having enough time to write here again.
By the way, the British public apparently Public 'support longer copyright'. Whilst I don't really agree with this, it's not hard to imagine this kind of crap being used to shoehorn in more draconian legislation.
Netaudio London Festival Review
I recently wrote about the Netaudio London Festival, and you can nown read my full review at furthernoise.org: Netaudio London Festival.
I'll be back to my usual netaudio reviewing schedule here as soon as things die down a bit with a recent software project I launched. Apologies to anyone who has emailed me with a review request: stay tuned! I love hearing the music you send through.
Norbury EP by ENAY
I met ENAY at the recent London Netlabel Festival, and he kindly sent me a link to his most recent EP, Norbury I. It's a short and sweet 5 track EP, containing instrumental tracks that are mainly electronica but also include some particularly well-placed guitar playing.
The first track, Gateway, includes a good mix of synths, guitars and piano, and some nicely programmed drums. Most of the tracks on Norbury have drums akin to Selected Ambient Works by Aphex Twin; but this is by no means a criticism. ENAY keeps the drums simple and clean, with enough variation to keep things feeling natural and alive. The second track, In the depths of house, demonstrates this perfectly.
Onehandroll feels more accomplished, musically, and feels like the peak of the EP. The drums are like drum and bass this time, and this suits the guitars particularly well. This is partially achieved through the production and composition, and again, ENAY keeps thing simple and too the point. High on delay has some excellent programming again through liberally applied snare rushes and epic basslines.
The archive.org page states that the author is looking for a label for this, so I suggest one of you netlabel owners seek him out!
Netaudio London event notes
I visited the Netaudio London festival this weekend, took part in the coffee table discussions and caught a few performances. Judging by the turnout and interest from the participants, the event was a success, and I really look forward to future events.
All of the coffee discussions were informal, relaxed and well supplied with coffee, tea and beer (thanks to the gracious hosts!) The upshot of this was that many visitors were forced to speak to each other, instead of hanging out in their own groups, which created a good vibe that lasted on to the evening.
I sat in on the "free culture" discussion, hosted by Andrea Rota and Jonas Andersson. The topic of free culture is of particular interest to me, so I found the discussion productive in terms of understanding why I contribute to netlabels how free culture is important outside of music. Andrea and Jonas kept participants on topic and interesting, and managed to underline the issues of free culture beyond music (even though we kept bringing music back into the foreground.)
The Hyperlanguage live installation was a surprise to wander into. The lighting, layout and resulting atmosphere somehow encouraged the audience to explore what the performers were doing, so as I walked around I naturally checked out their laptop screens to see what they were doing. What made it interesting was the interaction between the performers — it was obvious they were working together, producing abstract and sometimes challenging music, but it was hard to see how. They reveal a little part of the technical process here:: Live processing layout explained. Here's a little more background from their weblog:
Man/Machine Osmosis – it is now generally considered that human intelligence is being transformed into a "cognitive ecology" consisting of minds fused with networks, computer terminals, telephone systems, and other methods of high speed communication. We live in a world where old structures of representation and knowledge are fading away, and are being replaced by new, yet still barely formed theories of knowledge, imagination and social construct. We live and survive now not in one place, but in hundreds of places, physically separate, yet intimately connected. We inhabit not only this or that small physical territory, but also the immense, undefined realms borne of virtual technologies.
Paul Wilson, one of the musicians from the installation, told me:
It's very much about integrating the audience into what's maybe not
necessarily a 'performance' and attempting to address or challenge
aspects of live digital music where the visual is either non-existant
or potentially overpowering. rather, having no - or very little -
visual accompaniment (some lighting and an occasional single strobe)
was a deliberate strategy to put the onus on the sound.
During the day there were also performances downstairs, in the Candid Arts Centre. One which stuck in my mind was Gagarin's set. He was relatively unique as he played his set 99% removed from a laptop using a drum pad (with his hands). Most of the other sets featured visuals in some form, generally reminiscent of rave and acid house videos, yet Gagarin didn't have visuals. The speed and accuracy of his live rhythm and melodic programming through the drum pad inherently required no visual accompaniment, and musicians in the venue flocked to see what he was doing.
The evening's event was a club night, where laptop sets were played live within the Electrowerkz venue, replete with faux-militerary stylings and yet more visuals. During the start of the night a few technical glitches didn't prevent the musicians from rocking out, and the atmosphere was no different from a typical (albeit underground) club night.
Netaudio '06
I'm going to Netaudio '06, on behalf of Furthernoise. If you read my blog, want to meet up for a drink during the festivities, let me know via my contact form. Especially if you're a netlabel/creative commons musician who wants something reviewed!
There's a lot going on at the festival, which runs from Friday 15th September to Saturday 16th, with music in the daytime and evening, as well as various discussions and events. Of particular note are the Pure Data workshops.
Here's am email from Andi Studer, project co-ordinator of Netaudio'06:

One Lit Window by The Starry Tides
One Lit Window by The Starry Tides is a 7 track EP of post-rock tracks, with occasional vocals and electronic experimentation. This is their first release as The Starry Tides, and they promise a new EP on archive.org by the end of 2006.
The first track, Seaport Town, will immediately remind post-rock fans of Mogwai or Mono. I suppose you might think the vocals and playfulness of Don't be a Stranger, but that doesn't seem representative of the direction of the other tracks. I find Three Point Turn interesting, because the form the music takes on many levels is reminiscent of electronica. The last three tracks are aesthetically quite similar - short, melancholy and lo-fi.
The Starry Tides keep their tracks succinct, slightly unusual for a post-rock band, but very welcome. And they've got a myspace page that won't gouge your eyes out with animated/tiled gifs!
Flika by MaBento, SelfMadeMusic, Bleep
Flika is an EP by MaBento, SelfMadeMusic and Bleep. It's a collection of three awesome laid back tracks, perfect for a long Summer evening. Makunouchi Bento's track starts off quiet, with bells, and eventually introduces some cunning drum and bass-inspired breaks (yet totally relaxed and somehow more interesting than standard jungle breaks). The second track mixes some wild contemporary sounds with distorted guitar melodies, and comes to several climaxes before eventually calming down. The third track's got vocals! How about that?
I'd write more, but I don't have time. So why don't you just download the EP?
Do not rip Pandora streams
I've seen a lot of articles talking about ripping tracks from Pandora.com. Do not do this. Pandora provides a service sustained through subscriptions and advertising. By ripping their streams, you're subverting their revenue generation and stealing from the artists.
Some of you are probably getting angry at this point, thinking "well Coldplay are rich anyway!" Let me tell you why this argument is flawed: there's more music than you could realistically listen to in your lifetime on the Internet for free, created by artists who don't live off the money their music makes. I'm talking about musicians who release their music under liberal copyleft licenses.
If you're a Pandora ripper: please use your brain and pay for commercial music. Explore my weblog, check out things you can download for free. Go to Archive.org, find things you like, email the people who made it and let them know you liked it. And enjoy it, because you're part of a cultural revolution!

U.S. birthrate lowest in a century.
The United States birthrate has fallen to its lowest level in at least a century as many people apparently decided they could not afford more mouths to feed.
And before Obama blames Bush, which seems to be the only thing he is capable of:
The situation is a striking turnabout from 2007, when more babies were born in the United States than in any other year in the nation's history.
I can't think of a more objective measure of how much hope Americans are feeling — and the truth is that Obama has not brought hope, he has destroyed it, as he destroys everything he touches.

Two Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers are among a select group of scientists from around the world who have been recognized by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for their quest to answer the most pressing questions about cancer. Stuart Aaronson, MD, Professor and Chair of Oncological Sciences and Ross Cagan, PhD, Professor of Oncological Sciences at Mount Sinai, have received the NCI's new "Provocative Questions" grant, which was established to explore the important yet less obvious questions about cancer that may have been neglected in this era of significant discovery.
Provocative Question: Why do many cancer cells die when suddenly deprived of a protein encoded by an oncogene?
The grant will support Dr. Aaronson's research on signaling pathways responsible for a little-understood phenomenon called oncogene addiction. Oncogenes are mutant genes that scientists believe are key to tumor survival and progression. Disruption of the signaling pathway in these oncogenes has been shown to halt tumor growth or lead to tumor cell death. Dr. Aaronson's lab is exploring the signaling activity of one such pathway called Wnt, which plays a key role in regulating self-renewal of a variety of embryonic and adult stem cells and is a starting point for tumor development.
Dr. Aaronson's lab has found that inhibition of activated Wnt signaling can block growth and complement the effects of chemotherapy and radiation, leading to tumor cell death. The goals of this grant are to investigate the signaling pathways responsible for Wnt oncogene addiction, and discover its molecular basis.
"While increasing efforts are being made to develop effective inhibitors of Wnt signaling in tumors, to date, few, if any, have entered into clinical development," said Dr. Aaronson. "Our NCI grant will support our research to identify and characterize specific and potent Wnt-targeted drugs that can disrupt this oncogene addiction in tumor cell

Biographies of Famous People
A new 5 part humanities series featuring famous people from divergent walks of life and geographic regions of North America who have made a recognized and significant contribution to history and the arts.
Not Closed Captioned
Episode Guide
1. Chief Sitting Bull — Chief Sitting Bull naturally defended his people and their promised land. His mystical visions proved true both in victory at Little Big Horn and in his death at Standing Rock. Witness the courageous life of this famous yet unfamiliar man who was a loving father, a composer of songs, an artist, and a loyal friend.
2. Amelia Earhart — Amelia Earhart amazed the world with her aviating prowess during a time in America when the Stock Market crashed, the Great Depression erupted, and women were painfully restricted. Nicknamed "Lady Lindy", Amelia's adventurous spirit led her to become the first woman to fly alone over the Atlantic Ocean. However, on her flight around the world, Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, left Miami, Florida and with 7,000 miles left on a 29,000 mile flight they were never heard from again. Today the theories abound and the mystery remains.
3. Barbara Jordan — As a Texas politician, lawyer, and educator Jordan became the first African American woman from a southern state to serve in the U.S. Congress. Jordan's rise to prominence had taken her from Houston's impoverished inner city neighborhoods to the enshrined halls of Washington's U.S. Capitol Building. An inspiration to us all, Jordan's courage and fortitude enabled her to successfully manage her notable career and multiple sclerosis, a disease from which she had suffered for years.

Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 8:44 PM GMT on May 02, 2008
The first respectable tropical wave of the year rolled off the coast of Africa into the tropical Atlantic today. While sea surface temperatures are too cold this time of year to support development of this tropical wave, today's event does serve as a reminder that hurricane season begins in just one month. Hurricane season in the Eastern Pacific begins May 15, and tropical waves such as this one sometimes serve as the nucleus for May tropical storms, once they cross Central America and enter the Eastern Pacific.

Hurricane conference news
The 28th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology in Orlando is over. A final postcard from the conference is below, and next week, I'll write some long letters about some of the presentations, focusing the hurricanes/global warming debate.
Hurricane warning probabilities
Hurricane specialist Michelle Mainelli of the National Hurricane Center evaluated the usefulness of NHC's new hurricane wind probabilities product. The product, which was developed via funding from the immensely valuable Joint Hurricane Testbed research project, provides users with information regarding the chances of experiencing winds of tropical storm force and hurricane force at specific locations within the five-day forecast period. They also indicate, in probabilistic terms, the range of possibilities regarding when these wind conditions could begin at specific locations (an important factor in the timing of evacuation orders). While these products are primarily intended for use by emergency managers (for decision-making) and the media (for communication of risk and uncertainty), the availability of the products via the NHC website makes it possible for anyone in the general public to use them for their own decision-making.
One of the significant challenges with the probabilities thus far has been relating them to coastal watches and warnings issued by the NHC. A hurricane watch is issued when hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 36 hours. A hurricane warning is issued when hurricane conditions are expected within the warning area, generally within 24 hours (or less in some cases). Between 2000-2006, an area of coast under a hurricane watch actually received hurricane-force winds about 20% of the time, while areas under a hurricane warning got hurricane force winds 25% of the time. Mainelli's research shows that at the first issuance of a watch or warning, the new wind probability product typically gives a 10% chance of hurricane force winds impacting the end points of the watch/warning area. These probabilities increase to 32% at the center of the warning area. Her research will be used to help develop an automatic technique that will recommend to NHC forecasters exactly where to place their watches and warnings.
What's your forecast?
For those of you who have a hunch about how many tropical storms and hurricanes we'll see this year, you can log your forecast as part of our first ever "Wundercast" competition. It's a friendly competition between weather enthusiasts to determine the best of the best in weather forecasting. Don't worry if you do not have any experience in forecasting, learn from Weather Underground meteorologist--as well as experienced website community members--to become an expert forecaster. It's free, and you can sign up at http://www.wunderground.com/wundercast/. The first forecast day is Tuesday, May 13, and competitors will be forecasting for San Francisco, California for the first two weeks. Thereafter, you'll be asked to forecast for Omaha, Seattle, Philadelphia, and Miami.

"Life changing" – that's the best way to describe these
As I've said 763 times before, breakfast is so important.
You should never skip it. But I understand it can be a hassle if you haven't planned ahead, run out of time, feel lazy, etc.
If you need quick breakfast ideas, here are 10 that I love.
If you are feeling lazy, I have an answer to your lazy breakfast problems…
Oven Baked Protein Pancakes!
You have no idea how amazing this is for me {and for all of you now, too!}
No more flipping pancakes or making them every single morning.
No. Now all you do is make a big batch and stick them in the oven.
I know they don't look like regular pancakes, but honestly, I could care less when it means I had like no work to do to make these gems.
I'm not lying when I call them gems because they are amazing!
First of all, I get over 150 views on these babies every single day!
{That's not a lot for most food bloggers, but for this humble little blog, it's huge}
Plus they taste great – really really great. They are super healthy & keep you full all morning
Check out these stats: 1 serving is 180 calories, about 6g fat, 16g carbs, and 15g protein!
If you cut them bigger, it's still amazing – 240 calories, 8g fat, 21g carbohydrate, 2.5g fiber, and 20g protein
I totally borrowed this idea from Lynn's Kitchen Adventures, and now I won't have any excuse not to make my breakfast for the week.
And neither do you!
Try these this weekend and don't tell anyone how you made them until after they have gobbled them up. {I guarantee that anyone will like these! They are that good}
Oven Baked Protein Pancakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
Keywords: bake breakfast gluten-free healthy high protein low-carb no-sugar-added nut-free soy-free vegetarian whole grain oats eggs
Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
- 1-1/4 cups oats {old fashioned preferred}
- 1-1/4 cups low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese
- 5 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and process until completely combined. Stop halfway through blending and push down any ingredients off the sides of the food processor bowl.
Let sit for 10 minutes while the oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick spray, butter, or canola oil.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Transfer to oven and bake for 10 minutes. Rotate pan and return to oven.
Reduce heat to 350°F and bake another 10-15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. {These won't be as dark as these usually get when they are made into pancakes. The edges will be lightly browned and pulling off the sides of the pan.}
Cut into 4 or 6 pieces.
Keep tightly covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat on high for 1 minute {flipping over halfway through cook time} from refrigerator or 1:45 to 2 minutes from freezer.
Here's the original recipe and here's a version for pumpkin {or sweet potato}
Nutrition Facts per 1/4 recipe:
239 calories, 8.1g fat (2.2g saturated), 21.1g carbohydrate, 2.5g fiber, 20.4g protein
Nutrition Facts per 1/6 recipe:
180 calories, 6.1g fat (1.7g saturated), 15.8g carbohydrates, 1.9g fiber, 15.3g protein
Allergy Notes:
Make sure you use gluten-free oats processed & packaged in a certified gluten free facility {like these}.
If you're lactose intolerant, look for lactose-free cottage cheese {like this one}.
Update on egg-free version: it's just not working out… I've had 3 unsuccessful attempts… flax eggs, peanut butter, egg replacer – none are working
Have a nice weekend!

Poll shows majority of office workers believe in ghosts
An interesting survey was conducted by Human Resources Consultancy Co. among office workers in Taiwan using 1,481 valid responses among office workers aged 25-45 years to mark "ghost month". The results of the poll as reported by the China Post showed that almost 87 percent of the office workers in Taiwan believe in the existence of gods and ghosts, and 48 percent of them have often asked the gods for prophecies about their love life and jobs.
The most interesting finding about this poll was that, despite the fact that the people sought advice from the gods, they tend to ignore the signs and prophecies and follow their hearts or seek advice from friends if the resulting prophecies were contrary to their expectations.
Sounds like a pretty good deal. Who cares what the gods say with their divine agendas, your best friend always knows what to do.
The survey also showed that interpersonal relationships in the workplace was a major concern among office workers. According to the survey, 52 percent of workers usually wear pinkie rings, beads, talismans, or crosses, or place crystal balls on their desks to keep workplace "villains" at bay.
If by workplace "villains" they mean that nasty hang-over from drinking and carrying on the night before, there's a better way to cure a hangover than using beads, talismans or pinkie rings.
Chen Ching-ling, Marketing Manager of the consultancy company, said that although religion could provide spiritual sustenance for people who are facing difficulties in life, it is more important to help oneself by improving one's professional skills, working hard and being humble on the job.
Wait a minute, so you can't get a promotion by throwing divination blocks at temples?

Kristine Stiehl Claims Prize from September 15 Hot Lotto® Drawing
DES MOINES, Iowa - An Omaha, Neb. woman said she's glad she was watching the morning news because that's how she discovered she'd won a $10,000 Hot Lotto prize from the September 15 drawing.
Kristine Stiehl, 50, couldn't contain her excitement when she found out she'd won.
"I usually call in, but on channel 6 before eight o'clock they put the numbers across the screen, so today I saw them. And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I won. I know I won something big,'" Stiehl said.
Stiehl said she took the ticket straight back to Bucky's Express, 2713 S. 24th St. in Council Bluffs, where she bought it to have it validated.
"I said, 'I think I have a big winner.' So he put it through the machine and he just couldn't believe it," Stiehl said.
Stiehl said she chooses her own numbers, but rotates the order of them on the tickets she buys. She ended up winning two more prizes of $700 each and one prize of $150 on different tickets for the same drawing.
Stiehl said she hadn't even gotten so far as to think of what she'd like to use her winnings for.
"No, I'm still shaking," she said.
Stiehl claimed her prize Thursday at the Iowa Lottery's regional office in Council Bluffs.
The winning numbers in the $7.08 million Hot Lotto jackpot drawing on Sept. 15 were: 1-3-4-11-12 and Hot Ball 4. There was no jackpot winner for that night's drawing.

Judge: Not enough evidence to hold Scottsdale man Ryan Festa on sexual assault charges
SCOTTSDALE, AZ - A judge ruled there's not enough evidence to keep a Scottsdale man in custody on sexual assault charges for raping two women.
Scottsdale police said Ryan Festa turned himself into police Thursday after seeing a sketch on the news.
"Mr. Festa decided to present himself to Scottsdale police in case they had any questions and so they could see him physically, but he has always denied any involvement in these crimes and maintains his innocence," said Festa's attorney, Bernardo Garcia.
"Mr. Festa just thought it was appropriate to allow the Scottsdale Police Department to see him and determine whether or not they had any further questions for him," added Garcia.
While being questioned Thursday night, police said they arrested Festa based on physical evidence and witness testimony.
However, a judge asked for lab results in connection with the sexual assaults, but prosecutors could not provide them.
Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark said that lab results will take two weeks to come back.
As a result, the judge ruled there was no enough probable cause to hold Festa on the sexual assault charges at this time.
Court records show Festa has been arrested in the past on drug and assault charges.
Festa, however, remains in jail after police reportedly found drugs during a search warrant of his apartment. A judge will decide Saturday during his initial appearance whether he will be released.
Scottsdale police said they will be watching closely and will send out an alert should Festa be released.
They are confident the lab results will further support their case and the rape charges will eventually follow.
Records also show Festa suffered a brain injury after a car accident several years ago and has undergone court ordered mental evaluations in past court cases.

In contract to my previous piece, this one will be a good deal shorter. In my initial research for this blog challenge I'm doing, I hit up some fellow bloggers with Single Edition for some ideas for posts. One of my friends, Single Much, suggested that I tell a story about a time a woman shocked me in bed.
I had to think really hard about that. I mean, getting shocked in bed is a hard thing to do unless you date the freakiest of the freaks… I've dated some interesting women. Artists, nurses… power lifters; you name, I probably dated it. But I don't think I'd ever been shocked between the sheets.
Then it came to me. I actually have been shocked in the sheets. The details are chronicled in this story posted by our friends at Met Another Frog. I'll summarize here, though. The short of the story is that I went out with a woman who misrepresented her looks and her age by a whole fuck load. That is, home girl was about 15 years older and about 4 times the payload than was advertised in her dating photo. I still shudder when I think of her.
After a protracted shitty date, I'd had my fill of this woman. I drove her back to her no-tell motel. I was coaxed into her place. Eventually she would playfully push me on the bed (against my will mind you, but she had crazy linebacker strength or something). She looked down upon me and she had something in her hand. I couldn't tell what it was. She said: "You wanna see something cool?" I replied: "No, no. That's okay. I don't need to see anymore things." I hear a faint click and then a dull hum as the back of my legs begin to vibrate. Bzzzzzz. That's weird. I try to get up "No, stay there. It's cool. I'm telling you," my date assures me. This massage pad thing, whatever it is, is buzzing the shit out of me and it tickles and just feels weird, but I stay down, like a good boy. The buzzing and massaging gets to my neck and then to the back of my head. That's when it happens. What, you ask? I shit you not, sparks, fucking sparks erupt past my left ear, singing it, and lighting up the room for a nanosecond… It hurts like a sonofabitch! I roll to the side, grimacing in pain and try to get up but the date from hell comes to my rescue, keeping me down to check on me. i should make a note that at some point she does try kissing me.
I quickly get up from the bed, stand up straight and look at blank space in front of me, avoiding eye contact with Satan Jr. I have to go. i have an early morning. As I make my way to the door my date thanks me for a good time and also lets me in on a secret. "You know, I like that we didn't have sex. Most men ask to fuck on the first date. But you're different." At that time all I said was "Thanks!" I mean, what the fuck do you say to that shit? Jesus!
So, that, kids, is how a woman shocked me in bed.

October 5, 2015
RUSSELL SPRINGS, Ky. (AP) - The owner of a Lake Cumberland marina is planning to move the business. Alligator Dock One is stuck in shallow water as work continues on the lake's leaking dam.
Ed Slusser owns the dock in Russell County. He says officials with the Army Corps of Engineers have told him he can move the 350-slip marina.
Slusser says he sold a dental lab he operated for 30 years and mortgaged his house to buy the Alligator One marina last year.
The Corps of Engineers plans to keep the surface of the lake at 680 feet above sea level this year to lower the risk of a breach in the dam while making repairs. The normal summer level is 723 feet above sea level.
The 309 (M) million-dollar federal project to repair the dam could take up to seven years.

Donation Replaces Books Damaged by Storm; Synagogues Feel 'Blessed' with Support
NEW YORK, April 23, 2013-- The Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) has donated over 400 new copies of Mishkan T'filah, the Reform Movement prayerbook, to two New York area congregations, Temple Sinai in Massapequa and West End Temple in Neponsit, both of which suffered severe storm damage from Hurricane Sandy this past fall.
"We were heartbroken when we saw how the storm had ravaged these synagogues and uprooted the lives of people in their communities," said Rabbi Steven A. Fox, Chief Executive of the CCAR. "We donated these prayerbooks to help individuals and congregations heal." He continued "As creators and publishers of Mishkan T'filah, we understand the important and powerful role that prayer can play in bringing a community together and allowing them to feel whole again."Rabbi Marjorie Slome of West End Temple was thrilled to receive the new prayerbooks, as extreme flooding destroyed her synagogue's entire library. "We are so grateful for the CCAR's generous support and donation to our temple," said Rabbi Slome. "Receiving these books is truly a blessing as we rebuild."The CCAR facilitated the donation of the prayerbooks with funds donated by Rabbi Jonathan Stein, Immediate Past President of the CCAR and Senior Rabbi at Shaaray Tefila in Manhattan.For Rabbi Stein, supporting these synagogues in their time of need was a given. "When I heard about the storm's destruction; it was almost a visceral response," he said. "I instantly committed myself to make this gift happen." He continued "This is the kind of thing we do for each other in times of crisis."The CCAR's donation is just one of the many ways that the Reform Jewish community has come together to support one another in times of need. In the days and weeks after the storm, CCAR member rabbis, who serve both congregations and community organizations, galvanized their memberships to provide on-the-ground support and supplies to those in some of the hardest hit areas. The Union for Reform Judaism and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism have also played a leading role in the Jewish response to Sandy, including raising more than $750,000 for disaster relief efforts and coordinating donations of essential supplies to synagogues, community centers and families.

|Create a memory-efficient Data Model using Excel 2013 and the PowerPivot add-in
|Written by Microsoft
|Wednesday, 03 April 2013 17:46
In Excel 2013, you can create data models containing millions of rows, and then perform powerful data analysis against these models. Data models can be created with or without the PowerPivot add-in to support any number of PivotTables, charts, and Power View visualizations in the same workbook.
Although you can easily build huge data models in Excel, there are several reasons not to. First, large models that contain multitudes of tables and columns are overkill for most analyses, and make for a cumbersome Field List. Second, large models use up valuable memory, negatively affecting other applications and reports that share the same system resources. Finally, in Office 365, both SharePoint Online and Excel Web App limit the size of an Excel file to 10 MB. For workbook data models that contain millions of rows, you'll run into the 10 MB limit pretty quickly.Read more...

What is Transit Oriented Development?
The City of Meriden's Transit Oriented Development program seeks to transform the Meriden Transit Center (MTC) and the half-mile area around it into a vibrant neighborhood that includes new residential and commercial development, public spaces and improved access to public transportation. Several key components of this program are already underway.
- Meriden has been identified as a station scheduled for improvements on the New Haven/Hartford/Springfield commuter/high speed rail line. Plans include construction of a new intermodal transportation center and parking garage to replace the existing MTC.
- City efforts are underway to redevelop the HUB brownfields site into a public park and flood control area while accommodating a development footprint of over 150,000 square feet on the 14-acre site.
- The City controls several other redevelopment sites, including 116 Cook Ave and Factory H, which are also located in the TOD area. Both sites could accommodate new housing and commercial development.
- Local, state and federal funds have been secured for planning, analysis, and engineering activities within in the TOD area.
- The development of mixed use commercial and residential areas, pedestrian friendly routes and amenities will be easily integrated into Meriden's downtown, which comprises a dense, mixed use, pedestrian friendly area filled with historic buildings and public spaces.
- Transit Oriented Development is supported by the community, will help promote affordable, sustainable housing development and regional economic growth, and is consistent with the City's Plan of Conservation and Development.

You are right about combos and we have them in the fight game play. Your turn in fight is going to be a combination of attack and defense actions. You should control the energy usage and see what part of the body of opponent damaged more. You can also choose when/where to use your super strike and never know when opponent use it too. If you got hit badly you pick the defensive fight method.
Each turn has certain time, because the fight duration is 9 minutes (3 rounds). In short breaks you can recover some health and energy.
Even if you have more health does not mean that you can 100% win.
The 1st test shows that fight is very dynamic, strategic and fun.

She "Fell Into" a Hip Fracture
Ninety percent of the more than 352,000 hip fractures in the US each year are the result of a fall. Just this week, Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka fell as she was getting onto an elevator at a Springfield hotel and fractured her left hip. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) knows that a fall can be both life threatening and debilitating.
Consider the statistics and prevalence:
>> Women have two to three times as many hip fractures as men.
>> White, post-menopausal women have a one in seven chance of hip fracture during a lifetime.
>> The risk of hip fracture for women 5'8" or taller is twice that of women who are 5'2".
>> Studies show that women who have broken their arm in the past have an increased risk of breaking a hip.
Take a proactive approach to fall prevention by using the following AAOS guidelines to help keep you and your loved ones, fall and injury-free or visit orthoinfo.org/falls.
Tips for the Home:
>> Eliminate all tripping hazards, such as loose rugs in the home. Or, secure loose rugs with double-faced tape, tacks, or slip-resistant backing.
>> Install grab bars or handrails on both sides of the stairway and other safety devices near bathtubs and beds.
>> Place a lamp or flashlight near the bed.
>> Keep clutter—like pets' toys, papers, or boxes—off floors and staircases.
>> Replace satiny bed sheets with products made of non-slippery material, such as wool or cotton.
>> Arrange furniture to allow a clear pathway between rooms.
>> Install light-switches at the top and bottom of the stairs. Or, try motion-detector lights that turn on automatically.
>> Put non-slip treads on bare-wood steps.
>> Consider adding rails to the bed to prevent falls from bed.
>> Keep track of pets as they're responsible for more than 86,000 fall-related injuries each year.
>> Wear properly fitting shoes or slippers with non-skid soles throughout the home—especially on stairs.
>> Replace slippers that have stretched out of shape and are too loose.
>> Never walk with socks or stockings on hardwood floors.
>> Consider wearing an alarm device that will bring help in case you cannot get up from a fall.
The AAOS has more resources on falls available:

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Certain Canadian government websites will be disabled to the public as a precautionary measure in response to the Heartbleed bug, according to a statement from Treasury Board issued late Thursday. Canadian federal websites running unpatched OpenSSL software will be disabled until the security patches have been put into place and tested, the statement said.
