CHICAGO — After releasing its report on days that retailers should expect a boost in sales, ShopperTrak has released a report that highlights 10 days that will give way to better customer experiences.
According to ShopperTrak, the weekdays following Black Friday and Black Saturday (specifically, Nov. 29 to Dec. 1) are the season's best days to hit stores. Historically, ShopperTrak said, stores will have fewer crowds than any other time during the holiday season as many tired shoppers shy away from stores after Black Friday and Super Saturday. Additionally, weekdays in early December will be some of the best days to beat the crowds, according to ShopperTrak. While every store's foot-traffic patterns differ, weekday business hours, even during the holidays, typically are less trafficked.
"Most people shop on two of the season's famous days — Black Friday and Super Saturday — because they're convenient and offer potentially good deals," ShopperTrak cofounder Bill Martin said. "ShopperTrak counts and analyzes billions of shopper visits at 40,000 locations globally. Based on real-time analytics, we can predict even better days to shop, when consumers' time and dollars will go further.
"Retailers should be prepared to make the most of shopper opportunity, even on the season's slowest foot-traffic days, and adjust factors like staffing and inventory accordingly," Martin added. "Based on our real-time analytics and historical data, ShopperTrak is in a unique position to help retailers understand their customers better and capture sales this holiday season."
ShopperTrak's forecasted best days to shop, ranked from least busy to busiest, are as follows:
Tuesday, Nov. 29;
Monday, Nov. 28;
Wednesday, Nov. 30;
Thursday, Dec. 1;
Tuesday, Dec. 6;
Monday, Dec. 5;
Wednesday, Dec. 7;
Thursday, Dec. 8;
Monday, Dec. 12; and
Tuesday, Dec. 13.

Makes 6 servings
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces Grand Marnier
4 tablespoons butter
4 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup heavy cream, divided use
Sprigs of mint, for garnish (optional)
Instructions: In a medium pot, bring a few cups of water to a simmer. Place a mixing bowl over the pot and add chocolate to bowl. Stir gently to help the chocolate melt and prevent it from scorching.

Food & Drink Channel
In another bowl, using a whisk or an electric mixer, whip egg whites until they hold soft peaks, gradually adding sugar. Whisk 1/4 of this mixture into the melted chocolate, then use a rubber spatula to fold in the remaining egg-white mixture. In the third mixing bowl, whip 1/2 cup cream until it holds soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Gently transfer the mousse to the serving bowl (or spoon or pipe it into glasses), cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Just before serving, whip the remaining 1/2 cup cream until it holds stiff peaks. Serve the whipped cream alongside the mousse, or pipe it through a pastry bag onto the top. Garnish with sprigs of mint, if you like.

See Fleur du Cap wines we sell
Fleur du Cap is one of the better known names in the South African wine industry, having made wines since the 1960s and becoming something of a household name. The name Fleur du Cap pays homage to the Cape floral kingdom, and the wines are made at the Bergkelder (Afrikaans for "Cellar in the Mountain") in Stellenbosch. The Bergkelder was the first of its kind cellar built into the side of a mountain, this mountain being the Papegaaiberg, named for the clay parrots (papegaai is Afrikaans for parrot) that were shot here in honor of Governor Simon van der Stel's birthday.
Today Fleur du Cap is a brand owned by Distell, which formed in 2000 after a merger between Stellenbosch Farmers Winery (SFW) and Distillers Corporation. SFW was formed in 1925 by an American medical doctor, William Charles Winshaw, and Distillers Corporation was founded by South African business legend Dr Anton Rupert. Distell is the largest wine and spirits company in South Africa, owning fine wines, supermarket wines, brandy, sherry, and everyone's favorite South African liqueur, Amarula. These include some of South Africa's favorite drink names such as Chateau Libertas, Plaisir de Merle, Kupferberger Auslese, Pongracz, and of course Fleur du Cap.
Starting in the late 1990s Fleur du Cap started their unfiltered range, which raised the quality significantly. The Noble Late Harvest is a dessert wine that has been rated as a 5 star wine by the Platter Guide, which is a very high accolade in South Africa. Fleur du Cap has the feeling of history combined with youthful innovation in the form of world class wines.

Hollywood actress Heather Locklear and her rocker husband Richie Sambora have both rubbished recent rumors claiming their marriage is in trouble, insisting their normal, happy family life is "boring, but true." To note, they have just been reported to argue over having another child, in which Locklear preferring to concentrate more on her career.
In fact, the couple is as strong as ever and they are looking forward to celebrating their 11th wedding anniversary on December 17. "The real story is that there is no story. The truth is that after 11 years together, we are still happily married. Boring but true." So they said in a joint statement to the New York Daily News.

Just when I was starting to feel bad about constantly laying the smack-down on fashion shows (saying they are costly, useless, and about to die off) and reporting on Fashion's Night Out being cancelled, this news story goes viral.
A fashion show in Charlotte North Carolina early Monday morning ended in a less than fabulous way. Word is that the event was going as planned until one contestant didn't agree with a judge's decision. The contestant hurled a chair and all hell broke lose.
And let's just look over the fact again that this was a fashion show on a MONDAY MORNING.
As you can see in the YouTube video below, there isn't much room to get away from the chaos as chairs are flying from all directions. One women decides to escalate things by going into beast mode and hurling an entire table at a group on the other side of the room. A barrage of chairs come flying in her direction, but she defends herself like a pro, blocking one and catching another all while holding her purse in one hand.
UPDATE: A source says that another meeting of the fashion group ended in arson.

It beats me why people still vote for NC: Oli
CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli on Wednesday has expressed surprise at why people are still voting for Nepali Congress (NC). "NC has done all the wrong deeds out there and is still competing with UML in election results. It beats me," Oli said speaking at a program organized on the occasion of 24th Madan-Ashrit Memorial Day at the old party office in Balkhu.
He claimed there is no reason to not vote for UML and vote other parties. "We have failed to take the good works of UML to the people. The people are still misled," he added.
Stating that UML has faced attacks and conspiracies right from the beginning, he said the party is being attacked even now. He claimed there was conspiracy even in murder of the then party general secretary Madan Bhandari. "'Those capturing polling booths during the election have attacked UML cadres. We have not disrupted peace anywhere," he said.
He said UML is not a party that goes with the tide and added it will always take stand for national interest.

The crisis of 2008–09 has reignited a new interest in understanding money and credit fluctuations in the macro economy, and the crucial roles they could play in the amplification, propagation, and generation of shocks both in normal times and, even more so, in times of financial distress. This may reopen a number of fundamental fault lines in modern macroeconomic thinking between theories that treat the financial system as irrelevant, or, at least, not central to the understanding of economic outcomes, and those that reserve a central role for financial intermediation.

Tunstall Healthcare, the leading provider of telecare and telehealth solutions, will be showcasing its latest telehealthcare solutions at this year's Scottish Telehealth and Telecare Congress 2012 event in Glasgow. At the event, Tunstall will demonstrate its new patient portal, mylife, which allows users to access secure information relating to their condition at the click of a button.
The mylife portal gives users online access to their vital signs readings, enabling them to check progress against planned targets, view trends over time and receive hints and tips from clinicians related to their condition, improving understanding and self monitoring. The easy-to-use portal offers a secure solution for providers to build an integrated care plan around the patient, putting them at the centre of any telehealth service.
Tunstall will also be previewing the latest version of icp triagemanager 1.4, which provides technical and clinical triage for vital signs data sent through the mymedic and myclinic devices. The icp triagemanager, which is compliant with the European Medical Devices Directive and integrates with GP systems including SystmOne and Adastra, offers a secure, scalable and flexible solution for providers, ensuring telehealth services can be integrated seamlessly with health and social care pathways.
During a lunchtime session today, Tunstall's Policy Director for Health and Social Care, Kevin Alderson, will be hosting a workshop seminar entitled 'Telehealthcare – how to achieve integration and scale.' In this session, he will highlight the benefits of supporting people with long-term conditions in the community using telehealthcare, and demonstrate how financial and operational efficiencies can be achieved by redesigning care pathways, creating a truly holistic service that takes into account individual health and care needs.
As part of his seminar, Kevin will highlight evidence from recent client success stories, to demonstrate the effectiveness of telehealthcare when mainstreamed within a centralised service delivery. Tunstall has been working with Hillingdon Council to provide free telecare to residents over 85, as part of the council's continued efforts to reduce reliance on residential care and provide preventative and flexible support. Hillingdon's TeleCareLine service offers a range of telecare sensors to enable residents to live safely and independently, providing varying levels of support dependent on individual needs.
Tunstall also provides managed services in Northern Ireland as part of the TF3 Consortium, which aims to provide telemonitoring solutions to over 20,000 people in a bid to improve health outcomes for patients with long-term conditions. The TF3 Consortium, which comprises of Tunstall Healthcare, Fold Telecare and S3 Group, is aiming to reduce pressure on frontline services by enabling community-based care.
Kevin Alderson said:
The pressures on our health and social care systems are undeniable. It is simply unsustainable to continue to deliver services in the same way. By keeping the patient at the heart of everything we do and by working closely with our customers who are embracing change, we are delivering a series of large scale, successful telehealthcare solutions that improve patient outcomes and free up resources.

CHANGES to car parking in the district appear to be causing confusion as baffled motorists get their heads around the new system.
Since Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) was installed in Marlow last month, long queues and frustrated discussions have been a common sight during busy periods in Wycombe District Council-controlled car parks.
Instead of pay-and-display, ANPR cameras register number plates on entry and calculating the time spent in car parks.
Payment is then made at the end of the stay by entering the vehicle's registration number, which is intended to make the process easier and more efficient.
But according to Princes Risborough resident Bob Street, who stopped off in Central car park in Marlow last Thursday, the new system is all proving a little much for residents and visitors alike.
He said: "There were a lot of angry people, some of them were fuming. Personally, I already have my car registered (for online payment), but people seemed to know nothing about it and I guess we all lose our rag from time to time.
"It looked as if people were confronted with this unexpectedly and quite a few had to go back to their cars because they couldn't remember their registration numbers. There were some older people who didn't seem to understand, I must admit I felt sorry for them.
"People will lose that three minutes parking that they avoid paying for by just nipping in and out, but being able eventually to park anywhere in the district without problem is a great thing."
All WDC-controlled car parks, with the exception of Riley Road and Dean Street, switched to the system in July.
Drivers can make payment by cash, credit card, via the internet or on their mobile phones and will be issued a penalty ticket if they leave without paying.
WDC insisted extra staff have been deployed in the area to ease the transition.
Council spokesman Catherine Spalton said: "Our officers are in each car park for two weeks to assist our customers, as and when ANPR is introduced.
"Instruction leaflets are also issued before the system goes live, together with posters with instructions on how to use the system.
"On Saturday there were three officers in Central - one officer at each kiosk and one moving around the car park to assist. There were also officers in Liston Road.
"On Sunday, due to a technical issue, the machines in Central were covered over and so the three officers there were redeployed to Institute Road and Pound Lane. Two other officers were also in Liston Road."
The machines in Central car park behind the West Street Sainsbury's are currently out of service, with parkers reporting problems with their number plates being recongised.
Tariffs remain the same since the switch was made from mid July.

Sony's ramping up its White House Down campaign with less than three weeks to go until the June 28 Channing Tatum–Jamie Foxx actioner enters the summer blockbuster fray, sandwiched between Paramount's World War Z and Disney's The Lone Ranger. Here's the new extra-long four-plus minute trailer for the Roland Emmerich pic that highlights its explosive buddy action:
Hot Trailer: 'White House Down'
25 Comments
Growing up really loving ID4, and liking The Patriot and Godzilla (so you know im forgiving), but 'directed by Roland Emmerich' has become toxic. He's just bullshit. CG ruined him, and i wouldn't say that about too many. Yeah, this actually looks fun, but that's how all his movies look- and then you see 2012. But his movies mostly make bank, so what i am to say. That aside, if reviews are good and people like it- i'll go.
$50m opening, en route to a $125 to $150m finish.
I actually went to an early screening of this the other day and it was amazing. by far the most intense and funny movie of the summer. i was expecting a typical Emmerich mess but honestly I hate to say it it was the best buddy movie I've seen since Lethal Weapon. It gonna surprise people big time.
Looks great!
Maybe Emmerich has finally made a decent movie!
It's a comedy.
please tell me this is a comedy.
all their original marketing made me feel like it was a copy of that other movie but this actually looks fun, not taking itself too serious, exactly what i want with a summer flick. not biggest emmerich fan but hope this is as good as it seems. i heard from people who went to a screening in la that it was awesome.
I've never, ever seen anything like this. Amazing. Great concept. Hollywood is genius.
This just looks stupid and generic to me.
Yes, I'm not a fan of RE movies. Lane is correct–it tends to be all CG. But this is a great trailer and kudos to whomever thought to play up the buddy angle. This looks a lot more fun that Olympus last spring. Tatum is the go-to-guy at the moment so I expect this could be huge. Fingers crossed for a good popcorn flick!
Typical Roland Emmerich shit that will no doubt do great business. No one ever said shit doesn't sell.
It's spectacular and will do $220 million domestic and another $350 million foreign. A great fun exciting entertaining summer blockbuster. They had twice the budget compared to Olympus Has Fallen and they put it to good use it looks much better all around which is ironic because Olympus was the better screenplay. Olympus suffered from the rushed schedule and most of it was inside at night everything was dark interiors but this movie has great daytime action scenes.
When Channing plays himself, a dim jock its enjoyable. When he tries to play a serious man, it doesn't go over very well. Plus I do not under any circumstance see Jamie Foxx as President, neither does half the population. His politics turns a lot of people off.
I doubt most people have a clue what Foxx's politics are, or care. I don't.
Maybe a lot of people YOU know. Us regular folks could care less. Just give me some fun.
I am SO there!
Not a very good trailer, it is not actually clear what they're advertising for. I think it is kind of misleading..the US President and his buddy acting like two idiots in some sort of action comedy about saving the nation? Based on the first two minutes it makes little sense, it seemes like there are two flicks in just one trailer ..anyway it may actually work since moviegoers may be tired of self-indulgent tentpoles and prefer something less serious.
This actually looks really fun.
Where's Jonah Hill?
As trailers go, this one is almost leisurely. Not a bad thing, IMHO.
Where oh were is John McTiernan!
An action hero president. Yeah, that's gonna resonate at this moment.
Something tells me WHD will be a box office dud. They should market this as a serious film. Would've love to seen what Paul Thomas Anderson would do with WHD.
Looks great! I'll have my popcorn ready.
Stupid premise

Federal Agencies Embracing Use Of Open Source Software CodeDec 04, 2013, 14:00 (0 Talkback[s])
Federal agencies that previously relied on expensive, built-to-order software are now following a growing trend to embrace open source code.
"Every company in the top 100 government providers uses open source in their products: all of them," said Scott Montgomery, McAfee [MFE] chief technology officer for the public sector.
Open source code means that the human-readable code is made publicly available and can be modified and reviewed. This gives the software community opportunities to find vulnerabilities and improve the code. Open source code allows any developer to use it as a foundation for a program or application. While this creates efficiency and cuts cost, it also presents hackers with a chance to search for potential exploits in widely used open source codes.

Blake's Mike McFarland received a booklet in the mail from the Florida Gators, the team he inked with, shortly after national signing day.
Fifty or so pages thick, it contained workout routines and diet suggestions.
"They want me to put 10 to 15 pounds of solid muscle on before I get there," said McFarland, a 6-foot-6, 240-pound tight end.
What Florida did is nothing new. It is common practice for the major programs in just about every sport. Because schools are making an investment in the athlete, they expect the athlete to arrive in tip-top condition, and that's something McFarland intends to do.
"I got it two weeks ago," McFarland said. "I want to start it so bad."
He can't — yet — but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
As much as McFarland would like to get started on his football future, he isn't quite ready to let go of the present.
Thursday night, McFarland, also the starting center on Blake's basketball team, scored 17 points (second on the team) in a win over Palmetto in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs. On Tuesday, the Yellow Jackets face Lakewood.
During basketball season, McFarland's goal hasn't been to bulk up, but to stay lean. In fact, he's only lifting weights twice a week. Once basketball is over, however, football will become his top priority.
McFarland, who will start his Gators career at tight end, plans to arrive at Florida in June and already is looking into the possibility of majoring in exercise sports science.
"I think I want to become a coach," McFarland said.
INTEREST GROWING FOR CCC'S COOPER: Junior Lindsey Cooper, younger sister of former Clearwater Central Catholic and Florida star receiver Riley Cooper, is starting to get some attention from major colleges. Cooper, a standout forward for the soccer team, made unofficial visits to Florida and Florida State in recent weeks. Both schools seem interested, and each wants to see her play more at the club level (she competes for the Clearwater Chargers).
The wild card: Cooper also is an excellent sprinter.
"I want to do both (in college)," she said.
By the way, Riley's little sister isn't so little; she's 5-foot-11.
SHORT STUFF: Receiver Andre Davis (Jefferson), offensive lineman Tyler Moore (Countryside) and defensive end/running back James Wilder Jr. (Plant) are being tabbed by the major recruiting services as the area's top football prospects next season, but it wouldn't be a shock to see defensive end Anthony Chickillo (Alonso), tight end Jordan Prestwood (Plant City) and receiver Ja'Juan Story (Nature Coast) also get top-100 consideration come fall. …Admiral Farragut quarterback Josh Burch, who signed with Navy earlier this month, also plans to compete for the track team. He is a state champion long jumper.

The arrival of widespread musical movements–like Elvis Presley in the '50s, the British Invasion in the '60s, punk in the '70s, or hip hop in the '80s–tend to reflect key changes in society. All of the above eras are tied to cultural revolutions, politics, and protest, so what does it say about life at the end of the '90s that we live in a time with no defining musical trend? How does this decade of rock 'n' roll fit in with the 40 years that preceded it? Does it fit in at all?
In 1980, the Ramones released the Phil Spector-produced End Of The Century, the band's first album to be fairly branded a failure. Uneven though it was, the record did remind rock 'n' roll listeners, then faced with squiggly new-wave synthesizers and increasingly poofy product, that punk wasn't so much revolutionary as retro-revolutionary. One of that album's key tracks, after all, was the blatantly nostalgic "Do You Remember Rock And Roll Radio?"
The Ramones, which started playing in the early '70s, overtly recalled Spector's girl groups, hearkening back just a few years to the already-fading days of The Ronettes, Darlene Love, and The Crystals. By the mid-'70s, most popular music had become so listless, pretentious, and benign that bands like the Ramones seemed revolutionary by simply embracing the recent past with an almost puritanical fervor.
Critic Greil Marcus, the ever-reliable embodiment and aftermath of the collision of rock 'n' roll romanticism and academia, described upon its release Bruce Springsteen's Spector tribute Born To Run as "a '57 Chevy running on melted-down Crystals records." That was 1975, around the time of both the Ramones' vinyl unveiling and New York Dolls' creative peak, and the year Bob Dylan released Blood On The Tracks, his last masterpiece until 1997's Time Out Of Mind. It was also a breakthrough year for Springsteen: In 1975, he appeared simultaneously on the covers of Newsweek and Time. The publications sensed something in the 26-year-old that at the time only a modest number of followers already understood. The Ramones and Dolls were kids' stuff, meaningful as much for what they weren't (overheated and overproduced radio rock, flimsy Top 40) as for what they were (pure, almost primitive rock 'n' roll). Springsteen, though, had substance. No cynical slacker, he was also ambitious, and in 1975 he began to fulfill those ambitions.
Yet while the press looked to Springsteen as some kind of rock 'n' roll savior, he was, much like the Ramones, less a harbinger than a throwback to what had come before. Critic Jon Landau, who would later produce and manage Springsteen, wrote after seeing the singer perform in Cambridge in 1974, "I saw rock 'n' roll's future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen." But he may as well have said, "I saw rock 'n' roll's past manifested in the music of Bruce Springsteen." Springsteen merged the poetry of Dylan, the presence of Presley, the invigorating leadership of James Brown, and the power of Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound all at once. He was the embodiment of rock 'n' roll because he borrowed from some of rock's best, but there was something more. In his new book, It Ain't No Sin To Be Glad You're Alive: The Promise Of Bruce Springsteen, Eric Alterman writes, "It's as if Bruce is playing on the home court of every icon of rock history, on the one hand paying his respects but on the other deepening their achievements and daring all of us to believe again in the entire collective enterprise." The tendency of writers to shower Springsteen with hyperbole is nothing new: The New York Times once wrote that "if there hadn't been a Bruce Springsteen, then critics would have made him up."
But that idealism has been rooted in something real, a universal experience felt by those who see Springsteenboth now and then. Landau's famous 1974 review is generally left at just the famous line about "rock 'n' roll's future," but he continued: "On a night I needed to feel young, [Springsteen] made me feel like I was hearing music for the very first time." Now, 25 years later, he's doing it all over again for an audience accustomed to rock 'n' roll swindles like the constantly resuscitated Rolling Stones. But what, exactly, is different about Springsteen? What allows him and his band to reconnect with fans as if no time has passed at all?
Current stardom aside, Springsteen took off strictly on a grassroots level. His song "Born To Run," one of the greatest anthems rock has produced, actually peaked at #23 on the charts. It wasn't until 1980, five albums and hundreds of concerts later, that Springsteen had his first Top 10 hit with "Hungry Heart," a song he had originally written, not entirely coincidentally, for the Ramones. The success of "Hungry Heart" and the ensuing tour behind The River set the stage for Springsteen's superstar success throughout the '80s, as he became one of the era's most popular performers and enduring icons.
Still, the sheer tally of ticket sales is only one example of how history seems to have repeated itself with Springsteen's return to arenas alongside the venerated E Street Band. In 1999, many of the most popular acts didn't even seem to be trying, coasting on the fact that the ephemeral nature of contemporary Top 40 will work to their advantage as long as they keep their profile up in any number of feverishly obsequious media outlets. As was the case in the mid-'70s, pop appears near an all-time low. Now that the decade is all but over, who can stomach the prospect of future compilations collecting the best '90s pop had to offer?
Some big differences between Springsteen then and Springsteen now: Unlike his popular peak from around 1978 to '88, the country is experiencing an unprecedented boom. America is not coming off a divisive disaster in Vietnam, a nation-scarring scandal in Watergate, a weakened economy under Carter, or the callous public policies and Cold Warring of Reagan. The Gulf War was as close as America has come to a casualty-free major military exercise (for Americans, anyway), fought in newsrooms as much as on battlefields. Recreational drug use has gone up, but hard drug use has gone down. This generation's Watergate, the Lewinsky affair, went largely mocked by the American people. The economy is currently strong. Is it possible that disposable pop is merely a reflection of good times?
With unemployment low and the stock market still soaring, maybe people don't want to be challenged. Maybe people don't need music that makes them feel like they can surmount life's challenges. Most pop music, both on the radio and on the sales charts, poses no questions and promotes few messages, because there's not much to react to. Irony and empty earnestness is all pop appears to have going for it. Maybe it's this vacuum of meaninglessness that draws kids to the vapid big business of bubblegum pop, the vain preening and empty posturing of much commercial hip hop, and the fashionable nihilism of hard rock: Millions of dollars in marketing provide the missing meaning. "We know you so well," savvy corporate businessmen seem to be saying, "so buy it because you're supposed to. Wear it because you're supposed to. Care because you're supposed to. Don't care because you're not supposed to."
Springsteen's current tour arrives at just the right time to remind people how effectively rock 'n' roll can give meaning to the moment. Though his music is clearly of another time, both in sound and in substance, his songs of triumph and escape must strike some sort of chord to evoke a successful response in such a passive, passe environment. It's ironic that the epiphany of a middle-aged Springsteen comes when all his old haunts have new corporate names: the United Center, Continental Airlines Arena, CoreStates Center, MCI Center, Staples Center. Yet his performances have proved just what a reliable brand name he is, one that represents a true connection with fans and not just a leering, desperate reliance on customers.
Following the end of a 10-year break from his band and a career-spanning rarities set, Springsteen's 1999 return seems like a victory lap. He's done virtually no interviews and given no indication as to what the conclusion of his tour might mean. But there's little question what the tour itself means. From city to city, Springsteen has offered very little stage banter, but each night has featured an extended corny preacher spiel in the middle of his minor but invigorating rave-up "Light Of Day," concluding with an emphasis on "the power, the passion of rock 'n' roll." It's been a nightly routine on his tour, but it doesn't come off as a mere act. Sweating, jumping, and screaming, at 50 Bruce Springsteen means what he says, working the sold-out crowds until every last spectator is convinced. He's not just preaching to the converted; he's preaching until everyone's converted. He's renewing faith in the rock 'n' roll weary.
The Ramones obviously jumped the gun with the title of End Of The Century. But now it really is the end of the century, and Springsteen's 25 years of musica body of work heavily indebted to the 25 years of music made before itis still more vital than most of today's pop music. It's not an intellectual exercise. It's not a cynical post-modern deconstruction of the American myth. It's the manifestation of one man's love of the music that made him who he is today. If Springsteen's endurance and excitementhis ability to make 20,000 fans at a time forget the other nostalgia tours and passing trendsis not proof of the power and passion of rock 'n' roll, what is? The prevailing mood of the '90s turns out to be cynicism, yet Springsteen's return shows that there is a way to curb cultural malaise. By bridging the past into the present, we might yet find a way to make the future of pop music palatable.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative has for the second year running left Spain off its piracy watchlist, which is formally known as the Special 301 Report and identifies deficiencies in the copyright legislation of foreign countries as well as proposing possible trade sanctions.
Spain was first included on the list in 2008, when it was identified by the United States for its apparent passivity in the battle against online piracy.
While Spain is not on the list this year, the US body said it would soon be publishing a detailed report on the "steps taken by Spain to combat internet piracy." These include the passing of new legislation to deal with sites that provide links to copyrighted material.

As North American stock markets went into a steep nosedive on Aug. 4, portfolio manager Oscar Belaiche refused to panic. Surprised by how fearful investors had suddenly become, he buckled down and started buying.
From his perch in a Bay Street office tower, Mr. Belaiche and his equity investment team at Dynamic Funds were opting to play the contrarian card. This was a moment they had been preparing for. Through the course of July, as U.S. President Barack Obama and a dysfunctional Congress stumbled through rancorous negotiations to raise the debt ceiling, Mr. Belaiche had decided to stockpile some cash. He had a hunch that when a deal was reached, the result would not sit well with investors.
He was right. But even a seasoned money manager who lived through the Asian meltdown, the technology crash and the financial crisis of 2008-09 could not have been totally prepared for what was to come.
At about 8 p.m. on Friday evening, rating agency Standard & Poor's dropped a bomb. Hours after traders had gone home, the United States, the world's largest economy and the centre of the financial universe, lost its triple-A status.
The resulting uncertainty spread like a burning bush over the weekend. Because money managers could do nothing else, they worked through the myriad permutations of what could happen when the markets finally opened in Asia on Monday morning, or Sunday night on the east coast of North America. Working from home, Mr. Belaiche created a "shopping list" of stocks to buy if markets tanked on Monday. When they did, he and many other portfolio managers sprung into action.
By the end of trading on Friday afternoon, the S&P/TSX composite index had posted its best week in more than a year, up 3.1 per cent. But the path there involved stomach-churning volatility. In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average, which ended the week with a small loss, moved more than 400 points four days in a row this week – a record. Over all, most major equity markets are down at least 10 per cent off their recent highs; Germany's benchmark DAX index has fallen nearly 20 per cent since July 7.
So far, investors have struggled to make sense of the freefall. It appears they haven't been reacting to one specific event, but a mishmash of worries: the U.S. downgrade, Europe's worsening sovereign debt crisis, a slowing world economy, even concerns about China's prospects.
It is, Mr. Belaiche says, "the correction with no name." But perhaps that's because underlying all these factors is the fragile state of mind of investors, who remember the 2008 crash all too well and are fearful of a repeat.
"People are afraid of being afraid, the way they were in '08 and '09. That left a lot of scar tissue," says John Schumacher, who now is a partner at hedge fund company East Coast Fund Management Inc. and a former senior executive at Bank of Nova Scotia's securities arm. On Monday morning, as stocks began a downward spiral, Mr. Schumacher's daughter sent him a text message. "Is it going to happen again?" she asked.
How and why the fear spread
For all the confusion around the day-to-day trading, no one can say the possibility of a correction never existed. Stocks markets have soared since Ben Bernanke hinted at a second round of quantitative easing during the annual Jackson Hole conference in Wyoming last August. Spirits were so high that not even a devastating Japanese earthquake could dampen the mood for too long.
Yet beneath the surface, the U.S. economy was beginning to stall and Europe's debt problems kept flaring up. It became clear that Greece would need another bailout and systemic reforms, all of which would affect European banks that hold Greek debt.Report Typo/Error

The Best of Bruce Willis
By Josh Lyons on Mar 13, 2013 with Comments 0
With the recent release of A Good Day to Die Hard, I decide to look back on Bruce Willis' lengthy career, which provided plenty of great action movies. Having gotten his big break in TV (Moonlighting), Willis has still managed to go on and have a very fulfilling career on the big screen. Here, I delve through his filmography and present to you my top 10 movies starring Bruce Willis. So, without further ado, here they are.
Red is just old fashioned fun. Not the greatest thrill-ride, nor the most intriguing of plots, Red still manages to be be full of wit and charm and just a fun ride. Bruce Willis turns in his typical badass guy performance, but the real icing on the cake here is the great actors he's surrounded by and their comedic performances that enhance the movie (especially John Malkovich).
Many may disagree with me, but I thoroughly enjoyed The Whole Nine Yards. The chemistry between Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry here really makes for a good time. Couple this with a clever enough script, plenty of laughs (usually provided by Perry) and plenty of charm, and you have a worthwhile time here. The sequel, The Whole Ten Yards, even provides for a fun time as you see Bruce Willis turn from the badass hitman into an emotional and blustering "housewife" which makes for some funny moments that breaks from Willis' typical character.
Lucky Number Slevin may not be quite as clever as it hopes to be, but it's still a clever little movie, nonetheless. I think this one really is an underrated gem. It's an extremely stylish movie with some good dialogue, which all combines for a fun ride with plenty of twists and turns along the way which keep you right there in it.
It's not often that you'll find a M. Night Shyamalan movie make it onto a list of mine that is praising movies, so enjoy this moment. The Sixth Sense is the only truly good movie the director has made, but it was a damn good one. The Sixth Sense harkened back to the classical slow-burn horror films like The Exorcist. From the delicate direction to the emotional impact (thanks to Osment), the whole movie creates a mood and atmosphere that leaves you on the edge of your seat right up to the end, when we're given one of the best twists in movie history.
This crime-comedy may not be the best movie or the most well-scripted, but the performances here make Bandits an absolute delight. The chemistry between Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton bring a Odd Couple feel to the movie that provides plenty of laughs along the way and has you sucked into these characters.
In my opinion, this is Terry Gilliam's best movie. While a tad convoluted and a bit too clever for its own good at times, Twelve Monkeys is still a well-written and enthralling thriller backed by great performances that give down-to-Eartch character to the sci-fi concept. The gritty and tense movie is a great addition in the sci-fi genre and one every one should see.
The Fifth Element is one visually creative and stylishly inventive movie. While the story plays out like it was written by a teenage boy (probably because it was), it still manages to plenty loads of fun along the way and dazzle you with the visual splendor that Besson provides. What really saves the movie, besides it's visual creativeness, is that it never really takes itself too seriously. The Fifth Element owns its own goofiness and even accents it with Bruce Willis' humor, saving it from falling into dreaded B-movie ground.
Sin City is one of the more stylish and visually striking movies of the last decade. A visual breakthrough and an utter bloodfest, Sin City is a graphic but incredibly fun ride that is pretty on the eyes. A very stylish noir film that isn't for everyone, but a definite must-see for those who can stomach the brutality of it.
What can I say about Pulp Fiction? In fact, do I even need to say anything? This is, in my opinion, Tarantino's masterpiece. That should be enough said there. Hell, just the fact that it's a Tarantino film should be enough alone. I don't think there will be any arguments about this movie landing this high.
First, let me say I'm going ahead and counting the Die Hard franchise as only one entry here. This will avoid having to put multiple movies from the same franchise on the list. Now, while Moonlighting launched his career, Bruce Willis was really made by his role in Die Hard. Over the years, many have emulated this classic but failed to reach its heights. For me, Die Hard is still the quintessential Hollywood action flick. There is just no other that can compare. With good writing (that even pokes fun at itself) to great supporting characters, there's nothing not to love here. And Bruce Willis' badass yet sarcastic and witty character just makes it all that much better. You just can't think of Bruce Willis without immediately being reminded of Die Hard.
So, there you have it. My top 10 Bruce Willis movies. I've included some honorable mentions below. What do you think? Agree with my choices or think I'm out of my mind? Feel free to share your opinions below and let me know your top Bruce Willis movies as well.
Honorable Mentions:
These are ones that don't star Willis in any great capacity. So, for that reason, they weren't included on the list. But I did find them to be good movies that do feature Bruce Willis and aren't mentioned all that often usually. So, I wanted to give them at least a nod:
Four Rooms, Assassination of a High School President, Alpha Dog

HEROIC army reservists who have served on foreign tours were honoured with a new honours board.
It was unveiled at Castle Armoury in Bury on Friday and records the names of every Bury Army Reserve soldier who has fought abroad since 2000.
It includes almost 100 names of reservists who have been deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, Cyprus, Bosnia and Kosovo — with the numbers increasing with each tour.
The regiment hopes the board will not only comm- emorate the dedication of Bury's veteran and current reservists but help persuade more people to consider a role in the Army Reserve.
Guest of honour Cllr James Frith, chair of Bury's Armed Forces Community Covenant and prospective parliamentary candidate for Bury North, unveiled the board.
He said: "When the Territorial Army first formed officially in 1908 it was recognition of the fact the work of the reservists was already integral to the work of the regular army.
"Since that date the reservists have worked alongside the regular army and the determ- ination of these men and women to serve their country in whatever capacity is the embodiment of the word duty.
"Here in Bury everyone from doctors to lawyers, cleaners to builders, secretaries to nurses all joined to serve and took no less risk when they did.
"Their role is an active one and remains key to our defence today.
"History shows this is not a part-time army, but an army who fight and die in the service of our country in real conflicts around the world for us."

2012 NCAA Regional Golf Preview Video
Following last night's NCAA Men's Golf Regional Selection Show, Flames Sports Network reporter Nick Pierce had a chance to talk with Liberty head coach Jeff Thomas and golfers Chase Marinell and Robert Karlsson.
Liberty learned last night that it will be heading to the Greensboro Regional next week, where it will compete at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro, N.C., on May 17-19.
The top five teams from the 14-team field will advance to the NCAA Men's Golf National Championship at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., May 29 – June 3.
Last month, Liberty automatically qualified for the NCAA Men's Golf Regionals by winning its second Big South title in a row with a conference record-setting score of 20-under par 844.
This will mark the second regional showing for Marinell, last year's Big South Rookie of the Year, and the fourth for Karlsson. The two-time Big South Golfer of the Year, Karlsson earned individual invitations to the NCAA Regionals as a freshman and sophomore and guided Liberty to the Big South title and automatic bid, last season.

Pan Gravy from Drippings
Great gravy begins with the juices and the flavorful brown bits you scrape from the bottom of the pan after roasting a bird like our Turkey with Brown-Sugar Glaze.
- Yield: Makes 3 cups
Source: Everyday Food, November 2011
- Pan drippings from Turkey with Brown-Sugar Glaze
- 1 to 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
While turkey rests, pour pan drippings through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Discard solids. Skim fat and reserve 3 tablespoons. Add broth to drippings to measure 4 1/2 cups.
Set pan across two burners and heat over medium. Add reserved fat and white wine. Cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until mixture thickens and holds a trail, 3 minutes.
Add flour and whisk to combine. Continue whisking until flour tastes fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in dripping mixture. Cook, whisking, until gravy is thickened, 8 minutes. If desired, strain gravy through sieve. Stir in vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; keep warm until serving.

Hong Kong is a jungle. Which is where fluent Mandarin-speaker Chris Lonsdale is an elephant spotter, and why he is in Tokyo to take a five-day right-brain drawing course.
As he explains: "I work with businesspeople — CEOs, senior management teams, entrepreneurs — and also individuals in transition to identify problems and change things in a positive way. It ties in with the workshop I'm doing with RBR" — the RBR Center for Creative Arts in Moto-Azabu, Tokyo — "to change my perception of the creative process."
Chris is equally fired up about his hot-off-the press self-published book, "The Third Ear." Having discovered that an important key to language learning is to re-connect with your own language learning intuition, the book shows a new way of thinking and learning, that will help you pick up a new language quickly and easily.
"Everyone has the ability to learn a language. We do, with our first language. Have you ever met a stupid baby, or for that matter a stupid 10-year-old? Yet as we age, we lose confidence in our facility for language acquisition. The ability remains; you just need to tap into the natural learning process to make learning easy again."
Chris left New Zealand in 1981. With a degree in psychology and a scholarship to Harvard, he said "screw it," and went to China instead. "Why China? The flip answer: no available flights into outer space. Best put it down to pioneering spirit."
In those days, foreigners in China had to be seen to be doing something useful. While studying Chinese martial arts ("wushu") and picking up more Mandarin outside the classroom than in, he was accepted by the Beijing Institute of Physical Education to study sports psychology and wushu. But training eight hours a day wrecked his knees.
"During the six months it took for treatment and to recuperate, I translated a book of Chinese folk tales about the Shaolin monastery. The whole experience enabled me to connect with Chinese culture on a deep level."
In 1985 he moved to Hong Kong to be with his girlfriend, now wife and business associate, and worked his way from teaching English to a job on a trade magazine to interpreting for a Texan company exploring for oil in China. He traded chemicals and leather goods for a year, then moved into public relations. "By this time I was increasingly active in Hong Kong's green movement."
In 1989 he found himself in the Arctic Circle with two students, one from China and the other Hong Kong, researching ozone depletion as part of Robert Swan's expedition to the North Pole. He then drew on this experience, together with a month spent in India, to create educational packages for schools in Hong Kong.
Then came Permaculture Asia: "I took time out to train as an ecological designer." Which led — when it became clear that organizational cultures were not going to change with regard to environmental issues — to consulting. "I accepted that if you batter angrily at corporate doors, they're never going to let you in. Use a more understanding approach, and you can help them towards transformation and healing."
Chris starts at the top, with management executives — which is where the elephant spotting comes in. "With people in every organization often unable to understand where their difficulties arise, I look for the big problems that people aren't perceiving. Some of the changes that need to be made are generic, others specific."
For example, Chris worked with an investment banker. "He wanted his business to grow, but three people were making most of the money and he was the best of the them. He sponsored a program that I ran to transfer his 'art' to the rest of the team. This helped overcome a number of problems, including what I call NIH — the 'not invented here' syndrome."
He also quotes the Abilene Paradox. This sums up what happens when a company fails to manage agreement (often unspoken) and ends up going to a bad place. "It's when employees worry at the water cooler but fail to speak out at a higher level. Think any business that sinks under the unconscious weight of bad decisions."
He uses a model for healthy change and growing awareness. "Just as Dr. Betty Edwards created a right-brain-based training program in California for learning how to draw, I've created a similar four-step program, DNAm (mental DNA), to use in business. The organizational gains, he says, are enormous. "On the business side: improved communications, reduced costs, increased revenues. For those involved: improved working life, reduced stress, greater happiness and fulfillment."
In one project, he helped to ensure that a family-run business in Hong Kong has a future. The driven father wanted his son to take over. The son, previously insulated from some of the hard realities of business life by his mother, wasn't interested. "When I first walked in, no one was speaking to anyone else; there was no platform for happiness or growth. Now the son, having found a depth of resolve he never knew he had, is ready to take over as CEO. They all have such respect for one another."
At the other end of the spectrum, Chris Lonsdale & Associates Ltd. is working with Coca-Cola in Beijing, in readiness for the Olympics.
In summing up his approach, Chris says: "In opposition, little can be achieved. I remember that all businesses are managed by real people with real problems. Solving those problems creates real potential for meaningful change. It's a soft, quietly hopeful but powerful approach."
Put simply, he asks questions to make people wealthy. Wealthy in many ways.

It looks to me somewhat desolate yet bucolic and serene at the same time. Certainly a beautiful sight to behold!

Hi Joo...hope you're having a great Sunday! Re your comment on Florida Fotos: The Bolles School is an expensive, private, coeducational school which is on the same campus as the American tennis academy - ATP. I don't understand why that is. But a friend of ours was married on the tennis courts here -- her wedding was built on a tennis theme. I thought it was rather dumb at first but it all worked out splendidly and was quite beautiful.

BWW Interviews: Actor Eric McCormack Talks About New Cabaret Show with Joan Ryan at Catalina
Eric McCormack is best known for his Emmy-winning portrayal of Will Truman in NBC's hit sitcom Will and Grace and for his latest TNT crime drama Perception. He has also appeared on Broadway and is an avid musician. On June 1 he will join Joan Ryan in her new show On the Edge at Catalina Jazz Club. In our chat he talks about Joan Ryan, the show and his musical career.
Many folks do not realize that Eric McCormack can sing. Did music come first in your professional development? If not, how important was it to you?
I did my first musical in 4th grade, as Huck Finn. By 11th grade I was starring in Godspell and Pippin and pretending to be "Che" in Evita in my bedroom. Singing has always been a huge part of me.
What are your musical tastes?
Schizophrenic, to say the least. When I was 16, I'd ping pong between AC/DC and Barry Manilow without any sense of irony. If we're karaoke-ing, I'm as likely to do Aerosmith as I am Sweeney Todd.
Do you have a favorite singer? Composer? Broadway show?
How much time ya got? Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Billy Joel, Pete Townsend and Roger Daltry, Burton Cummings, Elvis Costello; they're the singers I emulate to this day. Show-wise, I love Little Shop and Big River, Avenue Q and Spring Awakening. And I'm still waiting for that Frank n' Furter offer... if they don't give it to Neil Patrick Harris first.
Well, they did, but I'd still love to see you do that. What are you performing on June 1? If a surprise, just a tease...
I always take advantage of opportunities like this to do songs on my Bucket List. As soon as Joan called, I said, "Let's do "Suddenly Seymour"!" I'll never get to play the role, but I love that song. Joanie wanted me to do something solo, too. Last fall, I did a musical show of my own in LA called The Concert I Never Gave (except for, like, 2000 times in my bedroom), is a sadly accurate title. It was a really fun evening of songs I've always wanted to do and stories from the last 15 crazy years of my life. The last song in the show is one Burton Cummings made famous (in Canada, at least) called "Dream of a Child", which is as good a song as I've ever heard about growing up and making your dreams come true. I'm doing that one for Joanie's audience.
What is your association to Joan Ryan?
Our kids go to the same school, and we met singing at a couple of the fundraisers. She's an amazing performer and I can't wait to see this fancy award-winning show of hers!

You're more than just a breast or bone – those are just parts – and that's not how we see you. Mercy Women's Center provides you with a holistic approach like no other. We provide you with all the tools you need for healthy bones – from osteoporosis screenings and bone density testing to support groups and fitness classes and beyond.
Bones change throughout one's lifetime – bone is not a solid, lifeless substance; bone is a complex structure of living tissue. If not prevented or if left untreated, the loss of bone tissue can progress into this painful and debilitating condition that affects 25 million Americans. More than half of women ages 65 and over are affected by osteoporosis. Take care of your bone health. We can help.
DEXA bone density testing serves as an aid in diagnosing osteoporosis, osteopenia (low bone density), and in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.
Find out who needs a bone density test here as well.
The first step in treating osteoporosis is prevention. Building strong bones, especially before age 35, may be the best defense. Osteoporosis requires lifelong management.
Get the facts about osteoporosis.
