PHILADELPHIA — A new study from a team of researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, the Monell Chemical Senses Center, and the Philadelphia VA Medical Center, reveals that a person's ability to taste certain bitter flavors is directly related to their ability to fight off upper respiratory tract infections, specifically chronic sinus infections. The new research is published in the latest edition of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Most humans experience five types of tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and savory. The sense of taste is mediated by taste receptor cells which are bundled in our taste buds. "Sour" and "bitter" taste sensations alert the body to harmful foods that have spoiled or are toxic. But based on genetics, up to 25 percent of the population cannot detect certain bitter flavors (non-tasters), 25 percent can detect exceedingly small quantities (super-tasters), and the rest of us fall somewhere between these two extremes.
So what exactly does drinking a cup of bitter coffee have to do with chronic sinus infections, which account for approximately 18-22 million physician visits in the U.S. each year? Recent investigations have shown that these taste receptors (T2Rs) are also found in both upper and lower human respiratory tissue, likely signaling a connection between activation of bitter tastes and the need to launch an immune response in these areas when they are exposed to potentially harmful bacteria and viruses.
"With this information in mind, we wanted to better understand the exact role that bitter taste receptors play in the upper airway, especially between these super and non-tasters," says Noam Cohen, MD, PhD, assistant professor of Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery, staff physician at the Philadelphia VAMC, and senior author of the new study.
Cohen and his colleagues formulated the following hypotheses around the connection: (1) bitter taste receptors are functional in the nose (upper respiratory tract), and each receptor detects a specific type of bacteria; (2) upon activation by a specific bacterial product, the bitter taste receptor initiates a local defensive response to combat the attacking bacteria; and (3) genetic variability of the bitter taste receptors alters the vigorousness of the response, thus leaving certain individuals with very strong defenses and others with weak defenses against a specific bacteria.
To test these hypotheses, the team grew cell cultures from sinus and nasal tissue samples collected during sinus surgical procedures. These cultures develop cilia, produce mucus, and reflect many of the defensive workings found inside the nose and sinuses.

There is no shame in earning an NC-17 rating. Filmmaker Steve McQueen, when he made his deal for MPAA-signatory Fox Searchlight to release Shame (December 2), made it clear that he embraced the rating, which the ratings board officially gave the film this week. This is no surprise. Besides, Searchlight distributed 2004's NC-17 The Dreamers, whose director Bernardo Bertolucci praised Searchlight for being willing to release the film with the rating: "It's a victory. And not just for me -- it's a victory for freedom of expression." The erotic relationship drama starring Eva Green earned a respectable if modest $2.5 million stateside.
Shame, with better reviews, should earn far more. It's an adult art film about a damaged, wounded man (Michael Fassbender) who is flailing and lost, trying to bury his pain in addictive sex. While some of us may appreciate Fassbender's assets, which are on full display here and earned the movie its rating, Shame is neither titillating or erotic. It's more provocative and disturbing and is not remotely pornographic. For me to argue that this film should be rated NC-17--no one under 18 admitted-- is not to suggest that I approve of the way the MPAA ratings board conducts its ratings in every other case. But here, it is appropriate.
The question is what impact the rating will have on Fassbender's real shot at a best actor nomination. Even Searchlight has no idea if the Academy will go along with a transgressive movie like this. My sense is that the actor will be nominated by the actors branch, who will watch the film out of curiosity and will appreciate the quality of his performance. As the last of four strong roles he has delivered this year--including Jane Eyre, X-Men: First Class and A Dangerous Method--it's the showiest and will be freshest on voters' minds. I don't see them nominating him for any of the others instead. But Searchlight still faces the challenge of presenting this film as a classy, palatable, serious drama, despite its racy content. Oscar voters nominated Philippe Rousselot for an Oscar for best cinematography 20 years ago for the first NC-17 film, Philip Kaufman's Henry & June, and last year nominated Michelle Williams for Blue Valentine, which was slapped with an initial NC-17 rating, which was overturned on appeal. In 2001, Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream earned an Oscar nomination for Ellen Burstyn; the film was rated NC-17 but the filmmaker chose to release the film unrated.
It's hard to remember that back in 1969, before the X-rating developed such a stigma (by being plastered as a selling tool all over porn ads), John Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy was rated X--and went on to win three Oscars, including Best Picture. It only happened once.

Got a minute?
Would it surprise you to learn that there are twice as many entrepreneurs over the age of 50 as there are under 25? In a recent post on HBR blog network, Whitney Johnson explains why we're seeing more small business owners aged 40 and above.
"According to famed developmental psychologist Erik Erikson, as we grow older, hunger for meaning animates us, making us more alive," Johnson writes. "His theory explains that each healthy human passes through eight stages of development from infancy to adulthood. The seventh stage of development typically takes places between the ages 40-64 and centers around generativity, a period not of stagnation, but of productivity and creativity, including a strong commitment to mentoring and shoring up the next generation. Individuals in this developmental stage are supremely motivated to generate value, not just for themselves, but for others, asking the question: What can I do to make my life really count?"
In other words, entrepreneurs who have more life experience are likely to look for business ideas that will make a difference. The happy side effect of this is that businesses planned around things people actually need are more likely to find an eager customer base.
Then there's the fact that older entrepreneurs are more cautious. They might be risk-takers by nature, but their spontaneity is tempered by time and wisdom. Entrepreneurs who are over 40 are more likely to do their due diligence before jumping in with both feet. Perhaps that explains why they tend to make solid choices in terms of industries to focus on.
"The average age of a successful entrepreneur in high-growth industries such as computers, health care, and aerospace is 40," writes entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa, whom Johnson quoted in her post. "Twice as many successful entrepreneurs are over 50 as under 25. The vast majority -- 75 percent -- have more than six years of industry experience and half have more than 10 years when they create their start-up."

Learn about the ACC's new initiatives for 2016...more
You are here
The Executive Director's Cut: Fall 2011
I recently completed my first year at the American Craft Council and have now experienced a full cycle of programming at our national craft shows, American Craft magazine, Aileen Osborn Webb Awards and our fabulous craft library. It has been an amazing learning experience, and I am pleased with the progress we have made in each of these areas. But we still have a lot to do. These are exciting times, and we are working hard to reinvigorate existing programs and develop new ones to meet the changing needs of the field.
I am delighted to tell you that attendance and sales at our craft shows are up. ACC membership numbers have steadily increased, which means more folks are reading American Craft magazine. All these things mean more people have the opportunity to connect with craft. And the more people who experience and understand the beauty and importance of handcrafted items, the better the chance for the craft community to grow and thrive. If your experience is like mine, you know that once you are hooked on craft, you can't imagine life without the beauty of handmade items.
The Council is committed to the success of the craft field and want to make sure we engage people to be part of the community. But we need you, your friends, and the organizations you are affiliated with to help grow the community of craft lovers and supporters, to help us educate about the importance of craft, and most importantly, to support makers by buying their work.
In the past few months I have shared with you some of the changes that will be implemented to improve our craft show next year. In the coming months, I will share additional exciting work we will be implementing in the next few years. I have received a lot of feedback about the needs in the craft community that is shaping the work the ACC will do in the future. I hope you will partner with us to advance the field of craft.

It depends on how it works for you. I know a lot of people who swear by Toradol. I know of a patient who gets more relief from a dose of Toradol than she gets from Morphine. I dont agree with the above poster. Toradol can be a very powerful medication, especially when given by IV.
12 May 2011
Hey SamuelT,
It really depends on the source of the pain. The toradol relieves pain by regulating the hormones that cause inflammation while the vicodin is an opiate which attaches to the brain recpeptors interrupting the pain signal. They both will decrease pain but in different ways. If your pain is from inflammation then the toradol might be better while if the pain is not inflammatory in nature than the vicodin might be better.
Best wishes,
12 May 2011
i think its working depends on what type of pain you have it is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory, I have only had it one time and it was through the emergency room, We were just talking about it I wonder if they even prescribe it long term? but if its not injury or bone I tink the Vicodin is probably better just be careful with the Tylenol no more than 4,000mg per 24 hours if we can help further please let us know
13 May 2011
years back i got toradol for mirgraines headaches now they laugh at the toradol!i remeber the name cause my youngest daughters name is tora!lol!anyway i believe vicodin is better suited for heavy pain!but again it depends where and how much you are hurting !we all do different with meds!it might work for me but not for you!
good luck& God bless

VietNam: Rocking Fiercely, Thoughtfully
Set List
- "Hotel Riverview"
- "Apocalypse"
- "Lullaby"
With full beards, long hair and headbands, the band VietNam resembles a gang of hippie drifters living in a '60s time warp. But the group rocks fiercely and uniquely, incorporating a distinct style of psychedelic, folk-inspired music that's built on a foundation of personal, thoughtful songwriting.
The band began as the duo of Michael William and Joshua Garrett, who founded VietNam in an effort to craft a style they believed hadn't been heard before. VietNam still relies primarily on live shows and word of mouth, but major press and a pair of high-profile tour-mates (The Lemonheads and Jenny Lewis) have helped increase its mainstream exposure.

I can understand why you think that, but I still believe that ma ai exists at every point. If we use the irimi example:
Uke attacks with any technique, we irimi into his blind side, my ma ai has decreased significantly to the point that I may actually be in body to body contact. This would still be ma ai for me in order to move to the next part of my technique i.e. I still need to move to continue with a technique, and assuming my ma ai is correct, uke will also need to move again in order to attack again.
Ma ai is usually defined as "correct distance", how about describing it as safe distance (not a literal translation of course)? Many people consider Ma ai to be the starting point, as you mentioned above, the point at which one or other has to take a step to initiate an attack, therefore it can also be considered safe distance. If uke attacks and I do irimi to the blind side, I have moved up close and personal to uke, but, at that point in time it is a safe distance because he couldn't hit me without moving. Just a thought.
A difficult problem is easily solved by asking yourself the question, "Just how would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

- Cited By
The dominant view about the nature of aesthetic value holds it to be response-dependent. We believe that the dominance of this view owes largely to some combination of the following prevalent beliefs:
- 1The belief that challenges brought against response-dependent accounts in other areas of philosophy are less challenging when applied to response-dependent accounts of aesthetic value.
- 2The belief that aesthetic value is instrumental and that response-dependence about aesthetic value alone accommodates this purported fact.
- 3The belief that response-dependence about aesthetic value alone accommodates the widely acknowledged anthropocentricity of aesthetic value.
- 4The belief that response-dependence about aesthetic value alone accommodates aesthetic normativity.
We argue that each of these beliefs is false, and that the dominance of response-dependent accounts of aesthetic value is therefore largely without foundation.

Knicks Fans Get a Familiar Dose of Bad News
With his decision Thursday night to sign with the Miami Heat, LeBron James, the most heralded free agent in what's been billed as the best free-agent class in NBA history, deflated New York fans who had been hoping for his arrival.
The bar was packed at the Village Pourhouse as Knicks fans gathered to watch LeBron's decision. All around the bar there were fliers hanging with photos of LeBron dressed in a Knicks jersey with the phrase, "Dear Lebron we need you." The bar was serving up "LeBomb" shots.
It was a rowdy crowd. It had the atmosphere of a Super Bowl or a Final Four. People would cheer when shots of LeBron were shown, especially shots of him wearing a Knicks jersey.
People screamed and booed when the news was announced. People yelled "Turn it off!" after it was announced.
Emotions were raw among bar patrons after the announcement. "I think he handled the situation horribly,'' said Matt Maggiacomo, 23 years old, who lives near Madison Square Garden and works in investment banking. "I will dislike LeBron for the rest of my life. Fact.''
Chael Clark, 25, who works in finance and lives in Murray Hill, said, "Buying season tickets for the Knicks now is gut-wrenching."
At SideBar, near Union Square, fans moaned in disapproval when they watched Mr. James make his choice on the bar's big screens. It cleared considerably when Mr. James said he was headed to South Beach.
Matt Egermayer, a 27-year-old who works in finance and considers himself a fan of Mr. James, wore his blue and orange Cavaliers jersey to the bar. He had been holding out hope that Mr. James would become a Knick.
Mr. Egermayer had plenty riding on the decision. He and four friends bought Knicks season tickets a year ago, in anticipation that Mr. James might join the team.
"He was the whole reason we bought them," he said.
The team was so bad last year, he said, that "when we couldn't make the games last year, we couldn't find people to take the tickets for free."
While New York City wasn't alone in being passed over (he left his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers and also turned down overtures from the Nets, Los Angeles Clippers and Chicago Bulls), it had arguably prepared more for a LeBron James welcoming than any other town.
The city, and its mayor, officially launched a "C'mon LeBron" campaign—an expense they promised would not be passed on to taxpayers. Hundreds of "LeBron to New York" T-shirts had already been sold by individuals. Area real-estate brokers offered to help the Akron, Ohio, native find a new home.
Mr. James's decision to play in Miami left some involved in the campaign effort feeling dejected.
"It will honestly be a few depressing days and devastating weeks," said Ivan Cash, a 24-year-old art director and Knicks fan who has sold a few hundred shirts online that read "I LeBron NY" for $25 each.
"The entire success of the franchise was riding on tonight," he said. "We're talking about the prospect of getting a player that's a game-changer for a team that hasn't won in 10 years." He said the decision to bypass New York would not be good "for my T-shirt sales."
A spokeswoman for NYC & Company, the city's tourism arm, acknowledged the goal of its "C'mon LeBron" campaign was for the star to sign with either the Knicks or the Nets. Still, chief executive George Fertitta said in a statement the campaign was able to "unite New Yorkers in excitement and pride" and that itself was "something to celebrate."
By contrast, Sonny Vaccaro, a former sports marketing executive who's a friend of Mr. James, called fan campaigns "fruitless," saying they have no impact on a player's final decision. "In my mind, [the campaigns] do nothing to sway the athlete. Never have," said Mr. Vaccaro, probably best known for signing Michael Jordan to his first shoe deal.
Ironically, in joining Miami Mr. James chose a city that did perhaps the least to land him.
Hundreds of sign-toting Cleveland fans, hoping to hold onto their homegrown star, camped outside the building in Cleveland where teams made pitches to the two-time MVP. Several times, President Barack Obama said he hoped Mr. James would sign with the Bulls.
The New York market as a whole had seemingly pulled out all the stops for Mr. James. The Knicks and Nets both went to great lengths to clear salary cap space in an effort to lure Mr. James and other high-priced stars. A number of media outlets had written editorials encouraging him to sign here.
New York real-estate companies, excited by the idea of dealing with Mr. James, had offered to help him find a home here. Halstead Property LLC launched an effort, dubbed "Every King Needs a Castle," saying it would find Mr. James a New York home.
The company would donate all of its commission from the purchase to charity, said president Diane Ramirez, a long-time Knicks fan who appeared in a campaign video with former Knicks star John Starks.
"Maybe we will catch him next time," she said.

Trainers for Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez say hard work and
fitness, not performance-enhancing drugs, have allowed their fights to
add muscle and power as they move up in weight classes.
Doping has been an issue for both fighters in Saturday's welterweight
fight between Filipino icon Pacquiao, with world titles in a record
eight weight classes, and Mexico's Marquez, who seeks a world crown in
his fourth division. Unbeaten US star Floyd Mayweather failed to make a
deal for a megafight with Pacquiao in part because he wanted more
extensive blood tests than usual, issuing taunts that prompted "PacMan"
to file a slander lawsuit.
Marquez's bulking up for the fight came under greater scrutiny after
Twitter notes from Victor Conte, the central figure in the BALCO steroid
scandal, revealed that Marquez's strength and conditioning coach is
Angel Heredia.
Heredia admitted providing performance-enhancing substances to Trevor
Graham, the former coach of disgraced dope cheats Marion Jones and Tim
Montgomery as well as other former US athletics stars.
"There are different ways to get a fighter very strong. We've done it
the right way," Ignacio Beristain, Marquez's trainer, said through a
translator. "I don't see why somebody should doubt we have done it the
right way."
Marquez denies his bigger bulk has come through banned substances and
has said he will take random blood or urine tests to prove he is not a
dope cheat.
"I have done a clean preparation for this fight like always," Marquez
said through a translator. "I will take any test any time. That's why
anti-doping exams exist.
"It's a shame all the work I've done has been trashed." Beristain
said Thursday that his man received no help from banned substances, but
was aided by nutrition and technique guidance from Heredia.
"I'm grateful for what he did with my fighter. I got a great guy who
is strong," Beristain said.
"Juan would never do anything wrong. If he came to Juan with
something, I know he wouldn't take it. I know Juan well enough to know
that. AFP

Whether you've already got your ticket, or looking for a great reason to get hold of one, Wired.co.uk's speaker profiles should give you several reasons to look forward to the conference.Today's featured speaker is...Professor Nicholas ChristakisJob title: Professor of Sociology (FAS), Professor of Medical Sociology (Harvard Medical School) and Professor of Medicine (Harvard Medical School)Nicholas Christakis is a social scientist and physician who specialises in researching the effect of social factors on health and health care.Christakis believes that as people are inter-connected, so their health is inter-connected. His Harvard-based lab's current work is focused on examining how the ill health, disability, health behaviour, health care and death of an individual can influence the same phenomena in the health of a person connected to their social network. His research also looks to understand why people become sick and how they use medical care to become well again.In 2009, Christakis and his colleague James H. Fowler co-authored Connected: The surprising power of our social networks and how they shape our lives, which explores how the seemingly least important relationships we have in life can have drastically large influences over us: according to Connected, "a happy neighbour has more impact on your happiness than a happy spouse". The book received a "Books for better life" award in 2010 -- an award that recognises self-improvement authors -- and has been translated into 20 languages.

About 2.4 lakh commuters travelled on the first day of the Mumbai Metro's operations, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd (RInfra) said today.
The service operated by RInfra, through its special purpose vehicle Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd, was flagged off by Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan yesterday.
"It was a momentous occasion for us when the commercial operations of Mumbai metro started. Despite being Sunday and opened for public only from noon, 2.4 lakh people travelled.
This would redefine the way Mumbaikars travel," RInfra Chief Executive Officer Lalit Jalan said in a statement issued by RInfra.
Chief Minister Chavan, along with Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani, wife Tina and other dignitaries, boarded the first metro train at Versova station and took a ride up to Ghatkopar, the company said.
The 11.4 kilometre corridor is estimated to cater to over 7 lakh commuters a day in its first year of operations.
A concessional and promotional fare of Rs 10 is being charged for the first 30 days, irrespective of distance travelled on the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar corridor, for a single one-way trip.

Bruno Mars has been banned from being played at schools in Lancaster County, PA. According to Lancaster Online, a Lancaster County school board made the decision to remove two Top 40 hits from its high school marching band's upcoming music selection because of their suggestive lyrics.
Garden Spot High School's marching band has been practicing the instrumental versions of Bruno's "Locked Out of Heaven" and Fall Out Boy's "Thanks for the Memories." According to the site, the school district's school board voted six to three to uphold the decision to ban the records. Board member Heidi L. Zimmerman called the lyrics "trashy" and "inappropriate" for high school students. She added, "We only voted on it because the parents asked us to reconsider."
My personal opinion is this is one of the most ridiculous decisions ever. First, as someone who was in marching bands, what is the harm of playing a song that is heard everywhere? It's not like the band would be saying the lyrics...they're playing the music!!! And to play the popular songs of the day is a powerful way for teenagers to get excited about a marching band, instruments and musicians. Banning the school band does not to change that fact that you can hear these songs everywhere...on the radio, in department stores, on TV and the Internet. It only shows how out of touch board members are in thinking banning a song will make it less popular stop people from listening to it. Trying to protect people by banning is a dangerous road to travel. I can remember schools banning Metallica, Warrant and Def Leppard in my day saying it was to protect us. Behold I grew up fine, as well as many people in my generation, without becoming a out-of-wedlock parent or even having sex, committing suicides or using drugs. Why? Because my parents talked to me about sex, which leads me to the root of this issue. This country has a problem with the word sex. For some reason, when performers sing the word sex, the song instantly become inappropriate and dirty. Never mind song lyrics that sing about drug use, rape or abuse. Sex is the king dirty word. But instead of treating young adults like young adults, they would rather treat them like ignorant children and ban the word for their own good. Believe me, with or without songs lyrics, some teenagers will have sex and some won't. Banning songs only strengthens the very stance these people are trying to prevent. However, this is solely my opinion and not in any way the opinion of 98.5 KTK, Entercom Communications, it's staff and management. I take full responsibility for these words.

The North Korean government sees the new James Franco and Seth Rogen film, The Interview, as an act of aggression from the U.S. Just days after an unofficial spokesman for Kim Jong Un compared the film's message to what our government did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine, a foreign ministry spokesman released a statement condemning the movie on North Korea's KCNA news agency. The statement said, "The act of making and screening such a movie that portrays an attack on our top leadership...is a most wanton act of terror and act of war, and is absolutely intolerable." They are also urging the U.S. government to ban the film from being screened.
What a game Sunday night! A win would have been awesome! However a tie is better than loss as the US is still in the hunt for the World Cup. Thanks to MLS (Major League Soccer) for the scenario information on what happens on the outcome of Thursday's game against Germany:
Read the article here
So if the US beat Germany, they will have 7 points, which would put them at the top of Group G and would pit them against the second-place finisher out of Group H.
If the US tie Germany, they would also advance to the knockout round. This time, they would come in second and face the first-place finisher out of Group H, most likely Belgium.
If the US lose to Germany, they will need to rely on what happens in the Portugal-Ghana game, which is also on Thursday, concurrently with the US-Germany game (noon ET, ESPN2):

On March 8, Kentucky will travel to the O'Connell Center to take on Florida in what could be the biggest game of the conference season. While both teams are expected to have locked up at-large bids by that point, there is the added possibility that the regular season title could be on the line. And with the conference's best team going up against its most talented group, all eyes will be fixed on The O'Dome.
To make things extra special, Florida wants to bring in "The President of Pop" to sing the national anthem.

The number of parents offering below $10 a week for allowance fell to 68.4% from 77.3% in 2011. On the flip side, 4% of families are giving their children between $41 to $50 per week. For a few lucky kids, there are the more than 1% of families that give between $91 to $100 per week.
Stuart Ritter, a senior financial planner with T. Rowe Price, who conducted the Parents, Kids & Money Survey. said there are a few reasons higher allowances are cropping up: a better economy and sharing financial decisions with kids, such as paying for their own clothes.
Additionally, older children are also to blame for allowance inflation, Ritter says. The more typical $5 won't get much for a 14-year-old these days.
Shelling out big bucks for your child's allowance might not be doing much good when it comes to teaching your kid financial responsibility, Lewis Mandell, the former management dean at SUNY, says.
When reviewing financial literacy tests, Mandell found that kids with unconditional allowances tended to do the worst. He suggests parents tie chores and allowance together to show that money is valued and earned.
Parents should also stick to their guns when little Johnny comes home crying that little Bob gets enough allowance to buy the entire class happy meals.
Remember, you're not a terrible parent if you only give your kid $10 a week in allowance, Mandell says.

Our in-house education program, entitled the Kids Smiles Dental Detective Academy, is offered in the waiting room of our dental centers. Fun and interactive lessons designed for different age groups are offered, focusing on dental and overall health literacy. Once a child completes three lessons, the patient becomes a Dental Detective. The new Detective assists with the lessons and his or her dental health is tracked to evaluate the effectiveness of our education efforts during future visits.
Kids Smiles Outreach Program
Kids Smiles strives to reach all children in our community through our Outreach Program, which provides free dental screenings and education through schools and community programs. On average, we screen more than 5,000 students and educate about 12,000 students a year including children in over 68 Head Start centers. The Angelakis Family Foundation provides generous support for outreach to Head Start centers in the Philadelphia area.
Kids Smiles currently works with more than 200 community partners in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Would you like Kids Smiles to visit your school or program? Click here to tell us more and we will contact you as soon as possible.
Kids Smiles Prevention Program
Kids Smiles overcomes barriers to access by providing full dental services in schools through our Kids Smiles Prevention Program. Our clinical dental team brings portable, free-standing dental equipment into schools, offering cleanings, exams, sealants, x-rays, and fluoride varnish. If disease is noted, the hygienist contacts the student's parent or guardian to help the student find a dental home.
The Kids Smiles Outreach and Prevention Programs enjoy the generous support of key partners, including: Angelakis Family Foundation, Oral Health America, Independence Blue Cross, and Dental Trade Alliance Foundation

Potential vorticity at 1000 meters.
This simulation of Hurricane Sandy shows the view looking from the top of WRF-ARW (weather prediction software) 1000 meter potential vorticity (PV) of Sandy. Key features include the encirclement of inner-core PV by PV filaments and subsequent radial contraction of the outer PV ring during intensification just before landfall. The simulation has been colored according to potential vorticity units (PVU). [Image 4 of 10 related images. See Image 5.]
More about this image
A team of researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and Cray Inc. simulated the evolution of Hurricane Sandy as it approached and made landfall--with catastrophic impacts--over the Northeastern U.S. The simulation was performed on the Blue Waters Cray supercomputer at NCSA using the NCAR/WRF-ARW regional prediction system. The simulation was comprised of previously unsurpassed ~4 billion computation grid points, with a horizontal grid resolution of 500 meters with 150 vertical levels.
The simulation is part of NCAR's research agenda to advance knowledge and predictive skill of high-impact weather hazards and the transition of research to operational services. It illustrates the importance and benefits of advances in supercomputer capacity and visualization systems for Earth systems research and weather prediction. NCAR's VAPOR (Visualization and Analysis Platform for Ocean, Atmosphere and Solar Researchers) system was used to create animations that tracked the storms progress and enabled analysis of flow trajectories and associated dynamical processes during the life cycle of Sandy. VAPOR provides an interactive 3-D visualization environment that runs on most UNIX and Windows systems equipped with modern 3-D graphics cards. [Support for VAPOR is provided by the National Science Foundation (grants CCF 03-25934 and ACI 09-06379) and through a TeraGrid GIG award.]
This research was discussed in a presentation by NCAR's Mel Shapiro, titled "A research-community perspective of the life cycle of Hurricane Sandy," that was given at the American Meteorological Society's 2013 Townhall.
Technical details of the simulation were described in the Proceedings of SC13: International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, in the article "Petascale WRF Simulation of Hurricane Sandy: Deployment of NCSA's Cray XE6 Blue Waters."

Despite five nominations and two (consecutive) awards, it'll be thirteen years since Tom Hanks was last nominated for an Oscar by the time the 2014 ceremony rolls around. But fortunately for him, he's got his best chance in years with a pair of films due for release in the next twelve months. In the first, Paul Greengrass' true story tale "Captain Phillips," Hanks plays the captain of the Maersk Alabama, that was held hostage by Somalian pirates. In the second, he's playing none other than Walt Disney, in "Saving Mr. Banks," which tells the story of the making of "Mary Poppins." The big question is which of the two turns out to be the one that vies for Oscar. Greengrass' films haven't traditionally been great showcases for actors, but this sounds like it could be the exception. Meanwhile, Walt Disney is an iconic role, but from the script, it's perhaps less showy than Emma Thompson's P.L. Travers. And then there's the possibility that the two films split the Hanks vote and leave him empty-handed (it would help if 'Banks' was cheated into a supporting turn, but that's a fairly big ask).
Leonardo DiCaprio - "Wolf Of Wall Street"/"Great Gatsby"
Despite three nominations, Leonardo DiCaprio has yet to actually win an Oscar, his part in "Django Unchained" having failed to make the cut this year, in favor of co-star Christoph Waltz. He's talking about taking a break from acting, but first up, he's got two big parts on the way, in the shape of Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" and Martin Scorsese's "Wolf Of Wall Street." Strictly speaking, the former is, at least in the novel, technically a supporting part, but Warner Bros are likely to campaign it as the lead (he is the title character, after all), while there isn't much option for category fraud in "Wolf Of Wall Street." It's hard to tell at this stage which is the more viable option (we'd lean with 'Gatsby,' but the film's production troubles give us pause), and so we wonder if DiCaprio might end up missing out once again.
Four of the last five years have seen an actor from a Weinstein Company film pick up an Oscar nomination, and this year, the best chance the company have could come from British actor Idris Elba. Already nominated for Golden Globes and Emmys for "Luther," and winning increasingly major roles in studio tentpoles (he has "Pacific Rim" and "Thor: The Dark World" on the way this year), Elba follows in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman and Terrence Howard to play Nelson Mandela. It might seem like an odd fit at first, but one forgets that Mandela is 6'4, so Elba's imposing frame is actually a solid fit. And he's certainly charismatic and talented enough to pull the part off. Even if the film disappoints, Elba could certainly be someone to watch in this category, particularly with Harvey Weinstein pushing him.
One of the more consistently underrated actors of the last few years, Oscar Isaac finally started getting the attention he'd long been due thanks to his role in "Drive." And while he's got a few potentials on the way that could grab awards attention ("Therese" with Elizabeth Olsen, "The Two Faces Of January"), easily his best chance at his first Oscar nod comes with the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis." Isaac has the title role, and the film's trailer suggests that he's very much front-and-center, and he looks absolutely terrific, funny and charismatic. The Coens' leading men haven't always had much luck awards-wise (Jeff Bridges in "True Grit," is the only time someone earned a Best Actor nomination for one of their films), but this could change here. Our big question is with stiff competition, will enough people know who Isaac is? And moreover, does CBS Films have the resources to make it happen?
As we've discussed before, Forest Whitaker's had one of the more depressing post-Oscar careers around, with various DTV releases and short-lived TV series. But he's got a damn good chance at a comeback with "The Butler." The part, originally intended for Denzel Washington, is that of Eugene Allen, who worked for eight different presidents at the White House, so there's a lot to play with there. The Weinstein Company are putting the film out, which always helps, and for all his flaws as a director, Lee Daniels has proved impressive with actors in the past, helping Mo'nique win her "Precious" Oscar. Still, we wonder if the role may prove to be too passive, more of a sounding board for the various actors cameoing as presidents, than anything else. We'll find out later in the year.

VIDEO: Django Unchained premiere in Leicester Square
08:26 11 January 2013
Oscar-nominated film-maker Quentin Tarantino joked about enjoying a "good" week, after receiving nods from the Academy Awards and the Baftas.
The director's Western revenge tale Django Unchained had its London premiere in Leicester Square last night.
The film is up for five Oscars including Best Picture, Original Screenplay and Actor in a Supporting Role for actor Christoph Waltz.
It has also been nominated for Baftas for categories including Best Director and Original Screenplay for Tarantino.
At yesterday's premiere the 49-year-old said: "It's been a good week. Five Oscar nominations today, five Bafta nominations yesterday."
Tarantino admitted being disappointed that he did not receive a nomination for Best Director from the Oscars but said he is in good company.
"That would have been pretty nice," he said.
"But I actually feel bad that Ben Affleck didn't get nominated. I think he really deserved it too."
He added: "I don't think I will win Best Picture. But if it did, I will take it for sure."
The director of films including Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs was joined at the premiere by stars Waltz, Jamie Foxx, Samuel L Jackson and Kerry Washington.
Oscar-winner Foxx, looking stylish in a purple suit by Ozwald Boateng, said the nominations are "fantastic".
He said: "Hats off to Christoph Waltz and all our geniuses."
Washington, who braved the cold in a white gown by Giles Deacon, said: "It's very exciting. The film is such a collaborative effort so it would be a win for everyone."
Django Unchained opens in cinemas on January 18.

After the Academy Nominees Lunch, the wonderful staff at the Beverly Hilton's Circa 55 find me a small kitchen with frosted glass sliding doors for a private audience with Leonardo DiCaprio, whose security man whisks him in through the kitchen; DiCaprio helps me move a small table and chairs into the light.
I ask him about whether he sees himself as an independent. "I inherently knew the actor I wanted to be at 15," he says. "I knew the type of movies I wanted to do. In a lot of ways 'Titanic' was something I had to think about for a long time, I'd done independent movies, it was a divergence from the type of movies I'd done." He turned his back on conventional leading man roles because "I knew if you keep repeating yourself the audience and the next generation will be completely bored with you forever."
But after "Titanic" became a global blockbuster, DiCaprio ran with the ball, he said: "'Fantastic,' let's create something out of this. I was able to finance my own movies." (The comic "King of the World" shtick with Jonah Hill on Saturday Night Live came up on the spot; DiCaprio thought about it for a minute, saw it was funny, and went for it: "I'd love to host SNL someday.")
DiCaprio took an active role in finding movies he wanted to star in via his Appian Way Productions, from "Aviator," which took ten years to get made with Scorsese, to "The Wolf of Wall Street," which clocked seven years from start to finish. "It's getting the right writers involved," he says, "getting the right director from the onset and creating a story that hopefully takes some chances that doesn't hit the necessary beats that studios deem worthy for financing films."
In today's market it is not easy to get these big-scale movies made, even for DiCaprio, although he has five Oscar and ten Golden Globe nominations to his credit. "I could not get 'Aviator' or 'Blood Diamond' financed now," he says. "I know the ebbs and flows of this business, these are epics, but they are not appetizing to studios."
Thus after a developing "The Wolf of Wall Street" at Warner Bros., the studio passed and DiCaprio chased the freedom of independent financing. Two years ago at the Golden Globes he told Scorsese he had lined up financing from foreign sales company Red Granite and it was now or never. Scorsese told me at the Academy lunch that the movie could never have been made with a studio hovering over every bad word. So he agreed to do his fifth film with DiCaprio. (See all five Scorsese/DiCaprio films in New York.)
Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey changed the nature of Scorsese's filming process on "The Wolf of Wall Street," as the entire cast and crew adapted to a more improvisational style. "The whole experience was very loose, like organized chaos," says DiCaprio. "We improvised a lot beforehand and reimprovised that improvisation."
While he never saw the quaalude scene as the film's most memorable sequence ahead of time, DiCaprio says Scorsese did-- condensing three scattered scenes to be a film within a film, then meticulously mapping out the sequence with a shot list, a rig set up for DiCaprio to fall on the floor and then crawl "like a sci-fi primordial beast" toward the Lamborghini in wide shot.
He has another favorite scene: "For me the scene on the boat trying to blackmail the FBI agent kind of defines the ridiculousness of Jordan Belfort in that moment."
The actor is not known as a comedic actor. "While we were making the movie we weren't thinking about how do we make this funny," he says. "We were just pushing the envelope on the absurdity of their life, and it became funnier and funnier. They had to take Marty's laugh track out."
The actor-producer is enjoying some time off from acting after back-to-back filming on "The Great Gatsby" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," and has nothing on the books as yet. DiCaprio recently acquired rights to the story of accused Olympic bomber Richard Jewell, which is still at the onset of development with Jonah Hill.
My interview with Scorsese is here.

Shark Sightings on Cape Cod
Great White Shark sightings on Cape Cod – Here are the Facts:
A very small percentage of Cape Cod's 559.6 miles of shoreline are affected (that translates to a mere .0017857 of our coastline)
The three beaches that are currently closed to swimming are all Ocean-facing beaches in Chatham, and they are: North Beach, North Beach Island and South Beach
North Beach and North Beach Island are only accessible only by boat or by off-road vehicle, and South Beach is a remote, rural beach.
Another East-facing beach, Lighthouse Beach in Chatham, remains open for daytime swimming, while lifeguards are on duty. (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
There are other, lovely, family-friendly beaches in Chatham and all are open! Several in Pleasant Bay are great for swimming, as well as all of the beaches along the Nantucket Sound side of Chatham, including the largest, Harding's Beach, with nice, warm water. No Great White sharks have ever been spotted in the Sound or in Pleasant Bay.
Sharks have always been off the coast of Cape Cod, as it is within their normal migratory patterns, but the increased seal population (a result of their protected status under the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act) off of the coast of Chatham's Monomoy Island has led to more frequent sightings.
Monomoy is an 8-mile long spit of sand extends southwest from the Chatham mainland and is home to the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge.
The eastern coast of Monomoy is a known seal hunting ground for the white shark. When feeding they are less likely to distinguish human activity from that of their principal prey; therefore any commotion in the vicinity of their prey could provoke an attack – hence the swimming restrictions.
We are fortunate to have the Mass. Division of Marine Fisheries and senior shark biologist Dr. Greg Skomal working on a white shark tagging program in the area, which is very exciting. The Division of Marine Fisheries released this map of shark sightings and tagging locations.

Apple has laid out the steps consumers need to take in order to get a refund for unapproved in-app purchases in iOS apps, Polygon reports. The refund process is part of the company's efforts to fulfill its part in a recent $32.5 million settlement of a federal complaint.
"We've heard from some customers that it was too easy for their kids to make in-app purchases," Apple wrote in an email being sent to customers whose accounts have made in-app purchases.
Apple has asked these customers to sign into their iTunes accounts, review their purchase history, and see if there are any purchases made that were not expressly authorized. If they find any, they are urged to go to this support page to file a request for a refund. April 15, 2015 is the deadline to get your money back.
Apple is also pointing customers to this link, which shows them in detail how to restrict future in-app purchases through the settings on their iOS device.
The settlement is the result of a Federal Trade Commission complaint opened last year after complaints from parents who said their children either had made in-app purchases without their consent, or got consent for one purchase that was a blanket approval for future purchases.

3 Crowd Pleasing Wedding Reception Cocktails That Save Time and Money
9 May
- Feeling overwhelmed with planning your wedding reception?
- New for 2014 we are offering On-line Signature Cocktail Creation and Reception Contract Review Service to learn more click here***
Making The Choice: Wedding Cocktails
The most amazing and unforgettable day of your life will most likely be your wedding day. Sure enough, it's an event that takes months of careful planning; the color and style of your dress, your photographic needs and of course, food and drink. Your dear fiance has visions of multiple beers on tap, your parents and in-laws are waxing poetic about a certain bottle of French wine with a name you can't even pronounce much less afford, and you just want a good drink (and rightly so) and settle into the festivities. Luckily, while you may not be able to cut corners on certain wedding day must-haves, your wedding reception cocktails can be a piece of cake, if you break your guest count down:
Guest Will Fall Into One of 5 Groups
- Non-alcoholic drinkers
- Wine drinkers
- Beer drinkers
- Liquor drinkers
- The "just put it in a cup" drinkers
That being said, we are going to focus on three very budget conscious drinks you can serve your guests that consume alcohol and still stay very much in your wedding budget. In addition to that, those very same drinks are no-hassle and won't take much effort to serve. A welcome perk to a day that will already be understandably nerve-wrecking!
The Big 3: Wine – Beer –Margaritas (aka The Limited Bar)
There is an endless array of wines available from, quite literally, all over the world. Spain, France, Italy and even the United States all carry great wine selections. Pick two of your favorites and let the corks fly. Your best bet is to choose one white wine and one red wine, try to keep them both the same brand.
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most popular in red wines and its dry taste goes nicely with heavier meats, such as beef. An exceptional choice for white wine is a nice Pinot Grigio; it's very balanced; not too sweet or dry. A number of wine consumers love the taste of a good Chardonnay, but for purposes of your wedding day, its "oaky" taste will contend against your dinner menu that you've no doubt painstakingly put together.
When it comes to beer, go with one brand. Guests will commonly go for popular domestic beers that are in the "Light" category, but if you can afford the specialty or imported beer brands and still stay within your budget, go for it! There are great craft, specialty and import beers that won't hold your bank account hostage and guest love them because most folks don't consider those to be their usual "everyday" drinking beers. These go over extremely well with guests…and trust me, you'll be an instant hit!
Last, but certainly not least is the very popular and very delicious margarita. In the United States, margaritas are one of the most requested cocktails, hands down. What's the wonderful thing about margaritas for your big day? Bulk, baby. Y ou can mix it in batches and have containers on reserve. Fill a punch bowl with it and let the good times roll. And, you can have different colors or flavors on a whim. Dress it up with some great garnishes and offer your guests a sugar or salt rim. And after all of that jazzing and sprucing up, guess what? You've got your self a signature cocktail! Out here in San Antonio Texas, the margarita is a very popular choice for private events – and in our bartending service experience, folks actually request more margaritas on the rocks; but depending on where you live, your wedding guests may prefer frozen. In the end, it's really up to you!
Until next time…."Cheers To The Married Life"
