MONTREAL, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TDLP), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing topically administered products using its proprietary transdermal delivery platform, announced today the final data set from its Phase 3 study of Ketotransdel® (TDLP-110) at the 13th World Congress on Pain in Montreal, Canada. TDLP-110, the Company's lead pain product candidate, utilizes its transdermal delivery platform to deliver the active drug ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, through the skin directly into the underlying tissues where the drug exerts its well-known anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
The complete analyses of the Phase 3 data confirm that:
"The data of the TDLP-110 Phase 3 trial confirm that it is an effective product candidate for reducing pain of acute soft tissue injuries and is very well tolerated," said lead clinical investigator Evan F. Ekman, M.D. and President and Medical Director of Southern Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, Columbia, SC. "TDLP-110 has the potential to offer a new standard in topical pain management with an active ingredient and an elegant cream formulation that once approved differs from available topical NSAID treatments. In particular, I am impressed by the excellent cutaneous/application site tolerability."
The presented poster titled "EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF KETOPROFEN 10% CREAM IN THE TREATMENT OF PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH ACUTE SOFT TISSUE INJURIES (PHASE 3 STUDY TDLP-110-001)" summarizes the key efficacy data from Intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis and safety data of all patients randomized. In agreement with statistical (ICH-E9) guidelines a total of 35 patients were excluded from the original ITT population of 361 patients since they did not meet study entry criteria and should not have been enrolled based on information that was not known at the time of enrollment. This modified ITT (mITT) population included 326 patients.
Using the primary endpoint, which was the change from baseline in pain intensity during daily activity over the previous 24 hours at the Day 3 visit, the study demonstrated statistical significance (p=0.038) in the mITT population and approached statistical significance (p=0.087) in the original ITT population. Pain during activity scored 3 times daily by patients over seven days also supports the primary endpoint by demonstrating a consistent separation between the TDLP-110 and placebo groups over time, and showed statistical significance between the two groups in the ITT analyses.
The proportion of patients who were satisfied with the treatment and achieved moderate or higher pain relief - as recorded on a seven-point Likert Scale - was greater with TDLP-110 (p=0.023). Time to onset of meaningful pain relief was assessed and was about 40 minutes faster in TDLP-110 treated patients. Time to end of meaningful analgesic effect was about 45 minutes longer in the TDLP-110 treated group.
TDLP-110 demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability with a low overall incidence (18.1% vs. placebo 20.3%) of adverse events (AEs) and no treatment related gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic or other clinically relevant AEs. The incidence of related cutaneous/application site adverse events was slightly lower with TDLP-110 (1.1% vs. placebo 2.2%, respectively). There were no clinically relevant shifts from baseline in laboratory parameters (hematology, coagulation, serum chemistry, and urinalysis). The estimated systemic absorption of TDLP-110 is about 1 - 2 % of a comparable oral ketoprofen dose. In a pharmacokinetic sub-study of this Phase 3 trial minimal blood concentrations (mean Cmax 39.0 ng/mL) of ketoprofen were measured at steady-state, which is consistent with previous Phase 1/2 study findings. This Phase 3 study (TDLP-110-001) demonstrated that TDLP-110 was more effective than placebo in reducing pain of acute soft tissue injuries and was very well tolerated.
"Today's presentation of our data at the world's premier congress devoted to research and treatment of pain is a significant event for our company," stated Joachim Schupp, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Transdel Pharmaceuticals. "We believe that study TDLP-110-001 could serve as one of two required confirmatory trials of evidence of efficacy for TDLP-110 and we plan to initiate the second trial upon sufficient funding."

Wi-Fi's all around you. Chances are you're in the middle of a big blanket of it right now, as you're reading this. But what does it look like? Well, nothing; it's invisible. But if it wasn't it might look a little something like this.
Austrian artist and architect Peter Jellitsch is fascinated by the invisible forces around us. He's explored electromagnetic fields, wind, and now's he's tackled Wi-Fi. for his new project, Bleecker Street Documents, Jellitsch used a used a radio-wave-measuring device to record the ins and outs of the Wi-Fi in a New York City apartment over 45 days. He then plotted the data points on a canvas, rasing and lowering the peaks depending on the strength of the Wi-Fi signal at any given time.
The result is an unconventional, but nonetheless awesome representation of a Wi-Fi signal, over time, in real, 3D space. It's not an exact depiction of what Wi-Fi "looks like" but what could be? You can find out more about Jellitsch's project at his website. [Peter Jellitsch via Co.Design]

MONTPELIER, Vt. — A wooded glade deep in trackless snow is sometimes too much for skiers to resist, and Vermont lawmakers appear likely to leave it that way for now.
A recent spate of skiers going past warning signs, sometimes ducking under cables meant to block them, and then needing to be rescued after they get lost in the backcountry, had lawmakers briefly considering a bill to impose a $500 fine for such behavior.
But after hearing from ski industry and law enforcement officials alike on Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee decided to shelve the idea, at least for this year.
"If we start criminalizing what we all think is dumb, we'd have an endless avalanche of legislation," said Sen. Joe Benning, R-Caledonia.
Backcountry ski enthusiasts told the committee they didn't want to lump together those who enjoy the sport responsibly with people who take foolish risks.
"Backcountry skiing is really a jewel in the crown of Vermont," said David Goodman, author of the Appalachian Mountain Club book, "Best Backcountry Skiing in the Northeast." If people approach the sport with the right gear and a good sense of where they're going, the result is often a spectacular winter day, Goodman said.
Washington state has a law making it a misdemeanor when a skier or snowboarder heads into territory marked by signs as forbidden. In Colorado, resorts make their own rules.
Vermont has a law allowing rescue agencies and resorts to bill skiers who get lost after ignoring posted warnings. But even that appeared to give Capt. Robert Evans of the Vermont State Police pause. Evans' duties include overseeing state police rescue operations.
The threat of fines or paying rescue costs might cause someone to try to find his or her own way out and put off calling for help until after dark, when temperatures are dropping and rescue operations become tougher. Evans said he'd much rather police get the call earlier than later.
"If there's anything that keeps them from doing that it's problematic for us," he said.
Even the principal sponsor of the bill, Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, said he wasn't "wedded to the idea."
Mullin said he filed the legislation after hearing the frustration of officials at the Killington ski area at the number of skiers who required rescue after skiing out of bounds recently. The area is in Mullin's district.
Evans and Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn said Vermont State Police had participated 15 times — nearly all of them in the week between Christmas and New Year's, when Vermont saw heavy snow and big crowds at resorts. Fifty people were rescued in those incidents, they said.

Missouri Vital Records
This entry was originally written by Marsha Hoffman Rising CG, FUGA, FASG, and Pamela Boyer Porter, CGRS, CGL for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
No vital records were kept on the state level before 16 August 1909. For those filed after that date, requests should be made to Missouri Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Records, P.O. Box 570, Jefferson City, MO 65102. The 2004 fee for these records was $10. Applications for copies of birth or death certifications can be downloaded from the Missouri Vital Records website at www.dhss.mo.gov/BirthAndDeathRecords/applications.html.
A non-compulsory birth registration law was adopted in Missouri in 1863 and provided that county recorders of deeds could record births upon request. These births are recorded in the regular deed books (or in marriage books) and are not indexed. Registration was sporadic.
In the city of St. Louis, deaths were recorded from 1850'1910 and births from 12 July 1870 through 1910. It is estimated that only about 60 percent of the births and deaths that occurred during this period were recorded. These St. Louis City birth and death registers have been microfilmed and are available through Missouri State Archives. Certified birth or death certificates from 1870 to the present in the City of St. Louis can be requested by writing to St. Louis City Vital Records/Recorder of Deeds, City Hall, Room 126, 1200 Market St., St. Louis, MO 63103. Request forms are available for download from www.stlouis.missouri.org/citygov/recorder/vitalrecords.html. The fee in 2004 was $10. Kansas City also has intermittent early birth and death records (1874'1910). The 2004 fee was $3 per search and $3 per copy, and the address for inquiry is Kansas City Vital Records, 2400 Troost Ave., Ste. 1200, Kansas City, MO 64108. For more information, see the website at www.kcmo.org/CKCMO/Depts/Health/BirthDeathCertificates/index.htm.
In 1883 Missouri passed a state law requiring the recording of births and deaths at the county level. Ten years later this law was inadvertently repealed. At any rate, compliance was poor. Most counties do have these registers, but there is enormous variation as to how complete and/or comprehensive they are. 'A Guide to Public Vital Statistics Records in Missouri' (deaths) was published in the Missouri State Genealogical Association Journal in the fall issue of 1984. The Historical Records Survey, Guide to Public Vital Statistics in Missouri (St. Louis: Historical Records Survey, 1941), will also aid the researcher.
The ongoing volunteer Missouri Birth and Death Records Database project abstracts births, stillbirths, and deaths recorded before 1909 and places them online at http://sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/birthdeath/. Many of these records are also available on microfilm through Missouri State Archives (see Archives, Libraries, and Societies) and the Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City.
Some indexes or abstracts of Missouri vital records, including St. Louis death records (1850'1908), are online at Ancestry.com (see page 17). Many of these early county vital records have been microfilmed and are available through the Missouri State Archives or the FHL.
Marriage records are held by the county recorder of deeds. Prior to 26 June 1881, no marriage license was required; the marriage was recorded at any convenient courthouse. Divorce records are held by the clerk of the circuit court of the county in which the divorce occurred, except in the City of St. Louis, where they are held by the City Circuit Court Clerk, Civil Courts Building, 10 N. Tucker Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63101; and in Kansas City by the Civil Records Department, Jackson County Courthouse, 415 E. 12th St., Kansas City, MO 64106.
Certified statements of marriage or dissolution of marriage from 1 July 1948 to the present can be ordered from the Bureau of Vital Records, P.O. Box 570, Jefferson City, MO 65102. The $10 fee includes a search for one five-year period. For more information see the bureau's website (address above). Certified copies of marriage or divorce records can be obtained only from the appropriate recorder of deeds or circuit clerk office.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
If you're not familiar with the evolution of Java as a Web development tool, the coexistence of these two strategies (JSTL and JSF) might seem strange: Why have two separate ways to create Web interfaces? They may not both survive forever, but right now, both are warranted. Current JSTL users get a straightforward migration path, and having both provides choice for developers, who can benefit from using the best features of each.
This article outlines an effective coexistence strategy between these two technologies. It assumes that you already have some basic understanding of JSF and JSTL. There are many resources on the Web that discuss these two technologies independently; but, there is little available information about creating a marriage between the two.
JSF Hides Complexity
JSF-enabled IDE's simplify development of large Web applications with several data entry screens (Web pages). Painting a JSF screen using the IDE's drag and drop features eliminates the need to manually code JSP page layouts. Similarly, hooking screen events to server-side Java components through the IDE's user interface reduces the coding effort required to connect the screens to business logic components. Using JSF, you need to develop applications once that are intended to render through multiple user interface protocols to multiple client types. Subsequently, you need to develop only the necessary custom renderers for the different delivery mechanisms as needed. JSF also brings resemblances of .NET into the Java world. This similarity of concept is an advantage for developers who would like to switch between the two technologies (trust me, there are some who do this).
Programming using JSF with JSF-supported IDEs can hide the complexity and inner workings of JSF from developers. This makes it very important to pay close attention to the performance implications of application design. You must be very careful to avoid overusing event handling on any Web screen. The more JSF events on a screen, the more round trips are required from the client to the server, and the slower the application becomes. As the case is with any new technology, debugging and troubleshooting support for JSF is minimal at this point. You should keep that in mind before diving into the sea of JSF. The built-in data validation support in JSF is not too elaborate, but what's provided today is a good start, can be extended, and will likely evolve as user support grows. If your application doesn't have data entry forms and uses simple screen-to-screen navigation for static display of dynamic content, JSF will really be overkill, but is appropriate if the development team is comfortable with JSF and if you're planning on migrating the application to include form interactivity at some point.

Yes, Eganio is right. The texts are almost everywhere identical. Zaibatsu 19:58, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well, now I'm not so sure...it looks like we're doing the same for every location. See Liberty City in GTA III and Liberty City in GTA Liberty City Stories. However, there is no Vice City in GTA Vice City Stories article. To me, the names get a little cumbersome, but I suppose it's a good idea to separate things if there's enough disparate information between game versions of a particular location to justify separate articles. I remain a little unconvinced, because, as Zaibatsu mentioned, the information looks identical, but I am loathe to challenge consensus. EganioTalk 21:52, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- You're half-right, we should be as specific as we can be. However, articles about Vice City in GTA VC and GTA VCS are going to be pretty much the same, except with a few specific differences. It isn't like its a totally separate city, it is 1 city which changes over time. Liberty City changes totally from GTA III to GTA IV, which is why we need to keep the articles always separate. The other thing you've forgotten is that Vice City in the GTA III era (VC and VCS combined) is much more prominent than in GTA 1. So we can have the main article Vice City being just about the GTA III era, explaining what the city is like, with a section explaining the differences between VC and VCS, but also with a link to Vice City in GTA 1. In short, you can put this page on Vice City, and move the less-used GTA 1 version to a different (specific) page. Gboyers talk 22:09, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, I see your point. So, how was this decided, and what sort of guidelines should be followed when considering this sort of thing? It seems to me that having articles such as Liberty City in GTA Liberty City Stories is a bit unnecessary, since between GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, Liberty City hasn't changed at all, except for a few minor differences. EganioTalk 22:19, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- This article really requires images in order to make more sense. Otherwise, without images, it would'nt make any sense at all. MetaCracken 23:28, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- MetaCracken, please indent your text when replying thanks :) Uhmm, why is this article named as such? I wasn't aware of a Vice City in the GTAIV era? Ess-Tee 09:54, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ahh, excuse that post, forgot about the GTA Vice City. Ess-Tee 09:57, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
smaller island sercuity are pigs
you forgot to mention that the sercuity forces in the smaller islands section are a gang called pig. If you don't believe me they is evidence for example have you ever seen a cop give chase to a pig. They fight with other gang. user--Stephendwan 21:32, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

How to use iCloud with Google calendars
I have a mac mini and an iPhone 3GS. Just updated to iOS5 and iCloud and am at a loss to reconcile my previous life of Google calendars synced to my mac and iPhone with the new found iCloud goodness.
iCloud requires all calendars you wish to sync between your Mac and iOS device to be hosted on iCloud. The first time you turn on iCloud and set up calendars, iCloud copies over all you existent calendars over to Apple's servers thus iCal displays two of every event. As it stands today, I have turned on iCloud for calendars and contacts and found duplicate calendar entries on my iCal. This is due to the fact that now iCal is showing an entry from both the calendars in iCloud and the local On My Mac calendars. I fixed that issue by unchecking the On My Mac calendars under the calendars tab. Each Mac and iOS device (iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch) functions as a client and subscribes to the calendars hosted on iCloud. Therefore it is important that you go into the calendar settings on your idevice and uncheck all the On My Mac calendars that sync with your idevice. The default calendar should also be on iCloud.
Previously I had a Google Home calendar and I subscribed to US Holidays on Google calendar and had them synced to both my iCal on the Mac and the iPhone via iTunes. Unfortunately I am unable to transfer my Google Calendars to iCloud and I do not think that this situation will change anytime soon. Thankfully there is a way to enjoy both services.
The idea is that I now have one set of calendars on iCloud that then syncs to both my mac and iPhone. I then have set up the mac and my iPhone to also sync separately to the Google Calendars so that on my mac and iPhone I see both the calendars from iCloud and also my Google Home and US Holidays calendars. This is how I set it up.
On the mac
- All calendars are hosted on icloud. Copies of local calendars on the mac have been hidden, so duplicates do not show up.
- On the mac iCal>pref>accts>caldav was used to subscribe to Google Home calendar. In the CalDav window under the delegation tab, one can also select the other google calendars such as US Holidays etc., that one has on the google account or can do it by subscribing as detailed below.
- On the mac iCal > calendar > Subscribe was used to get US Holidays on iCal on desktop.
- All iPhone calendars are hosted on iCloud and sync with iCloud only and not the On My Mac local calendars.
- On the iPhone CalDav was used to add the Google Home calendar on iPhone. This was added as described below. The other method to get the same result is to go to pref>mail,cont,cal>add acct>Exchange (leave domain vacant).
- On the iPhone US Holidays is added by subscribe under pref>mail,cont,cal>add acct>other>add subscribed calendar.
- Therefore for the devices and the mac there are two calendar hosting services. Google Home calendars are displayed on the Mac and iPhone via CalDav, US Holidays are displayed on the Mac via Calendar>Subscribe and on the iPhone via subscribe under pref>mail,cont,cal>add acct>other>add subscribed calendar.

Christopher Thompson
RU alumnus minds The Gap
Clothing retailers have many tricks up their sleeves to make products more appealing. They know which shirts and pants go together, which belts pull the outfit together and which pose a mannequin should assume to grab the eye.
There is a kind of magic to elegantly presenting products for consumer consideration and, at GapKids, Radford University alumnus Christopher Thompson is now the man behind the curtain.
The Pulaski native has made a career as a manager of visual merchandising, a field in which he brings a creative vision to the retail environment. Designing magnificently styled mannequins, stunning seasonal displays and in-store merchandise presentations for GapKids stores across North America is Thompson's mission at Gap headquarters in San Francisco.
"My true passion is visual merchandising," Thompson said. "I still pinch myself. It's hard to believe that my work is showcased in 700 stores across the country."
Thompson's newest title is manager for global marketing, visual merchandising and GapKids, a position he assumed during Gap Inc.'s recent restructuring of its global brand. Working as part the new global creative team, Thompson will be responsible for conceptualizing and building in-store product presentations for GapKids.
Thompson was stunned when he was offered the new role earlier this year, and realizing what an amazing opportunity it would be for his career, he accepted it gladly, he said.
Now a mover and shaker by anyone's definition at the corporate offices, Thompson began his career with The Gap at New River Valley Mall in Christiansburg during the 2001 holiday season. From that modest start, he pursued a path from retail associate to visual merchandising positions at Walt Disney World and with the Macy's and Belk department store chains. In 2009, he moved to Washington, D.C., to take a job with the company where it all started.
"I tell everyone, as nerdy as it sounds, that I bleed blue—Gap blue," he said.
While a student at Radford University, Thompson cultivated several interests. He had thought he would be an English teacher, but during his RU days he found himself working at several newspapers, including Pulaski's Southwest Times, Christiansburg's News Journal and RU's own student newspaper, The Tartan. He fell in love with the stage as well, participating in campus productions such as "As Bees in Honey Drown," "The Philadelphia Story," "The Boyfriend" and "The Jungle Book." Thompson was a member of the honorary theatre fraternity Alpha Psi Omega.
Thompson says that his experience in theatre has helped him become such a confident, well-rounded individual. "From presenting in front of large groups to working in clothing design, business and finance, construction and marketing, there isn't an aspect of my job now that doesn't tie back to my education," he said.

Weekly Wire: the Global Forum
These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
'Women Should Be Submissive', and Other Google Autocomplete Suggestions
Global Voices
"A series of ads by UN Women, revealed in late October, used the Google Autocomplete feature to uncover widespread negative attitudes toward women. Global Voices followed reactions to the UN Women campaign and conducted its own experiment in different languages. The results of searches conducted both within the UN Women campaign and Global Voices revealed popular attitudes not only about women's social and professional roles, but also about their sexuality, appearance and relationships with men.
The creators of the UN Women ads used search phrases like "women cannot", "women shouldn't", "women should" and "women need to" completed by genuine Google search terms to highlight overwhelmingly negative stereotypes, sexist and highly discriminatory views held about women by society globally. The ads quickly went viral and sparked a heated discussion online. Last week, creators have announced that they are planning to expand the campaign in response to the mass online reaction." READ MORE
'Only 17% of the population feel their governments listens to them'
Global Development Professional Network
"More than 1,500 members from government and civil society organisations are gathering in London this week for the annual summit of the Open Government Partnership.
The OGP is an equal partnership with the civil society. It was set up in 2011 to encourage an open dialogue between government and civil society organiations with regard to the priorities and commitments for open government. This demands civil society to be prepared and co-ordinated before sitting to talk with government." READ MORE
The Internet and the rule of law
Democracy Digest
"Authoritarian regimes are seeking new ways to control, censor or block the emerging powers of their citizens to express themselves on the Internet, says Carl Bildt.
But surveillance activities in democratic states cannot automatically be given free rein, he writes for The New York Times:
Recent events have clearly shown that it is time to start an international dialogue on this issue. Let's begin by defining the seven principles that should govern state surveillance operations on the Internet." READ MORE
Governments must harness tech to drive transparency and minimise corruption
"Transparency is an idea whose time has come. People around the world are demanding much greater openness, democracy and accountability from their governments. Transparency fights corruption, it holds government to account and drives better public services.
The UK Government is already global leader on transparency in international development, but we're not resting on our laurels. That is why we launched the full version of the Development Tracker, which we have spent the last few months testing in beta. We built this tool because we believe it should be possible for anyone, anywhere to track our aid spending right through the system -- from the taxpayer to the beneficiaries." READ MORE
The Many Types of Online Censorship
HuffPost Tech
"Internet censorship comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. We often think of it as the "Great Firewall of China," which blocks access to websites with banned content. But internet censorship takes many other forms. It ranges from physical assaults on journalists who publish exposes of corruption online to cyber-attacks on the websites of human rights groups and prosecution of webmasters for comments that other users post on their platform.
In the face of ongoing revelations about extensive snooping by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), censorship abroad may seem like yesterday's problem. These revelations are troubling, but there is a broader array of threats to internet freedom around the world, and those threats are extensive and are growing, as documented in Freedom House's report Freedom on the Net 2013."

Ethics and Risk in Open Development
Open Knowledge Foundation Blog
"Ethics around 'opt in' and 'opt out' when working with people in communities with fewer resources, lower connectivity, and/or less of an understanding about privacy and data are tricky. Yet project implementers have a responsibility to work to the best of their ability to ensure that participants understand what will happen with their data in general, and what might happen if it is shared openly.
There are some concerns around how these decisions are currently being made and by whom. Can an NGO make the decision to share or open data from/about program participants? Is it OK for an NGO to share 'beneficiary' data with the private sector in return for funding to help make a program 'sustainable'? What liabilities might donors or program implementers face in the future as these issues develop?" READ MORE

I activated my app to check if they'd activated another event for me to play when I saw an announcement the game was ending in one month.
Then all these items starting appearing granting lots of free gold, diamonds and XP.
Since this is only done when the game is about to be deactivated (because it doesn't matter anymore!), I assume the signs are not good that the game will still be playable after the end of April!
The really sad thing is, the game wasn't complete, it was recreating the story of Frozen and Tangled movies, but it only got 30% of Frozen's plot and 60% of Tangled's plot.
And this has happened before, there was a game called Disney Hidden Worlds which also got cancelled.
Avengers Alliance 1 and 2 were also closed down, in an announcement that cited an executive decision from Disney as the reason.
From my perspective, it looks like Disney Interactive is just making those mindless puzzle games and giving up completely on games that are story based.
If they have no intention of supporting these games longterm, just don't develop them in the first place.
You can't give someone a favorite toy, then take it away again.
I hope this isn't an indication that will be the next game to be "discontinued".
I enjoy the game, but if it's going to be cancelled in a few months, it means that it was never intended to be a long term prospect.
Given all that has happened with Disney Infinity and the other games mentioned in this post plus the complete absence of any movie tie-in games, my consumer confidence in Disney Interactive is at an all time low.
And unfortunately, I expect it to diminish even further in the future.

Warface? WARFACE. The people behind one of gaming's most preposterous titles—a free-to-play shooter that somehow manages to combine the words "War" and "Face" without cracking a smile—have explained the rationale behind their decision.
Speaking to Rock Paper Shotgun in a recent Q&A (which is worth a read!), Crytek boss Cevat Yerli answers the most important question of all: why the hell did they call one of their games Warface?
Because I think it's very personal. I think it's a very social experience. Yes, it's a very strange word combination, but I wanted to express that it's a truly social FPS game. It's about war on a different scale—between corporate entities—but also, it's a shooter between you and your friends. That implies so many new kinds of possibilities with the social technology that we've invested over the last five years to build. So that's why we as a company keep going back to "face." It's very personal.

Moulin Rouge
John Huston's massive career as a director spanned almost fifty years (1941-1987) and it's full of classics and misfires, ranging from the high of his genre masterpiece, The Maltese Falcon (his first in '41), to the bizarrely unwatchable psycho-thriller, Phobia, in '80 (starring Paul Michael Glaser!?). Today he is mostly revered for his WWII docs and some of his work with Humphrey Bogart (Falcon, Key Largo, The Treasure of The Sierra Madre and The African Queen), while The Asphalt Jungle, The Misfits, Under The Volcano, Prizzi's Honor and many more have their champions. The main body of his work is mostly made up of imperfect but ambitious exercises in different styles, Moby Dick, Freud, Reflections in The Golden Eye being just a couple of examples. But without a doubt his mostly fascinating, not perfect, but utterly unique film might be his biography of the disfigured French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Moulin Rouge. Released in '52, it's a sorta lost classic (not to be confused with Australian director Baz Luhmann's hyperactive exercise in ear drum damage).
Respected Puerto Rican born actor José Ferrer, fresh off his Oscar winning performance in '50 for playing Cyrano de Bergerac, takes on the role of the painter who is remembered just as well for the childhood accident that stopped his legs from growing as he is for his post-impressionism painting of the seedier side of the decadence of Paris's colorful nightclub world of dancers, outcasts and prostitutes at the Moulin Rouge. Filmed with a colorful "Technicolor" style to match the painting of Toulouse-Lautrec (with echoing tilted angles to match other '50s visionaries like Nicholas Ray), Huston and dynamic cinematographer Oswald Morris (Sleuth, Lolita, The Spy Who Came in From The Cold, etc. etc.) use every trick in the Wellesian book to tell their story (flashbacks, shooting through mirrors, every color carefully placed) and are aided by the vivid sets and costumes by Marcel Vertès, who won two Oscars for the film.Continue Reading
The Idolmaker
In the 1970s, nostalgic pangs were for a time before rising gas prices, recession, Watergate and Vietnam. Such a time was the fabulous '50s. (For the nostalgic type, the '50s end in '63 with the Kennedy assassination, the day the music died). Cinema captured it all throughout the decade, and the music of the '50s was at the core of films like American Graffiti, Grease, The Buddy Holly Story, The Wanderers, and even National Lampoon's Animal House. By 1980 the craze was over, which explains why the otherwise terrific film The Idolmaker wasn't as big a hit as the others.
It was kinda-sorta based on the life of music manager Bob Marcucci, who helped fill the pop idol scene with Elvis wannabes Frankie Avalon and Fabian. They may not have been as important as The King, but they sold some records and their handsome pictures were on plenty of teenyboppers' bedroom walls. The film isn't a straight bio, but Marcucci served as a technical advisor to first-time feature director Taylor Hackford, who would go on to have a big career himself, with flicks like An Officer and a Gentleman and Ray.Continue Reading
Sharky's Machine
The third and the best of the four movies Burt Reynolds directed and starred in, Sharky's Machine is often written off as Burt's attempt at a Dirty Harry like franchise starter since he and Clint Eastwood were often linked as rival '70s macho mega-stars. But where Clint would go on to reinvent himself as an awards bait elder statesman of economical directing, this would unfortunately be Burt's last memorable movie as a major leading man. (Of course, sixteen years later he would score his only Oscar nomination for his great supporting performance in Boogie Nights). Sharky's Machine now feels more reminiscent of '70s Italian crime flicks known as Poliziotteschi films than it does Dirty Harry, as these films often dealt with dirty and violent cops in the seedier side of politics, organized crime and prostitution. As Sharky, it's one of those rare, less winky performances from Reynolds. Though he can't help but ooze charm, he also creates a sometimes unlikable character as the film veers fairly effortlessly from rowdy Joseph Wambaugh type police station mayhem picture to a Rear Window inspired erotic thriller to a very gripping final confrontation.
Based on a book by the gritty novelist William Diehl (Primal Fear), Burt actually took over direction when his Deliverance helmer John Boorman got stuck finishing Excalibur. Atlanta narcotics cop Tom Sharky is one of those plays-by-his-own-rules badasses who has been bumped downstairs to vice when a sting goes wrong. He's surrounded by a motley crew of great character actors including Bernie Casey (Revenge of The Nerds), Richard Libertini (Fletch), John Fiedler (12 Angry Men and the voice of Piglet in Winnie the Pooh), Brian Keith (The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming, the original The Parent Trap) and the great Charles Durning (Dog Day Afternoon, Tootsie, at his most "Durningist"). They are stuck busting hookers to make the town look presentable to a candidate for governor, Donald Hotchkins (Earl Holliman of TV's Police Woman). It turns out the politician is tied to a high-priced call girl ring led by the Italian sleazoid, Victor D'Anton (Vittorio Gassman, a major Italian actor whose resume before Sharky's Machine spanned from Big Deal on Madonna Street to the Get Smart movie, The Nude Bomb!), who is killing off his own women with a hitman played by the always reliably creepy Henry Silva (one of the original Ocean's Eleven!)Continue Reading
Viva Zapata!
Even assuming director Elia Kazan's 1952 film biography of the Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata only has a passing accuracy to the man's real story, it's still a very unusual picture for its day and still incredibly compelling. However, Viva Zapata! is most noted as the third film from the young actor Marlon Brando and it's more evidence of his acting genius. In the title role, it's the followup to his groundbreaking, earth-shattering, art-changing performance in A Streetcar Named Desire, and whereas his Stanley Kowalski was a lot of exciting scenery chewing, Zapata is intense minimalism (and of course Kazan was the director of both). If you can get past the "ethnic" makeup and the accent that skews close to Vito Corleone with a hint of Cheech & Chong (and if you can't get past it, I understand), it reveals a twenty-eight-year-old actor with the chops of a seasoned professional. Whereas so many actors before him would have let themselves fall into caricature, Brando brings a complicated self-torture and his esteemed methody-ness, which elevates the film to essential viewing for any fan of great acting.
Kinda-sorta based on Edgcomb Pinchon's book Zapata the Unconquerable, with a screenplay by one of America's greatest novelists, John Steinbeck, Viva Zapata! is a straight biopic. Though the young Zapata originally had his eyes on a normal working-class life, when he stands up to the longtime Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz in defense of poor farmers he is slowly pulled into the life of a revolutionary. Aided by his more colorful and reactionary brother, Eufemio (Anthony Quinn, terrific in an Oscar-winning performance and thankfully half Mexican in real life), while also trying to woo a merchant's daughter, Josefa (Jean Peters, best remembered as the sexy femme fatale of Pickup on South Street as well as briefly being the second wife of Howard Hughes -- and like Brando completely not Mexican), the brothers fight for the well-meaning and academic Francisco Madero (Harold Gordon). After overthrowing Díaz and a military assassination of Madero, Zapata endures a number of unethical generals who fear the respect he has earned from the people, even with a true Marxist advisor, Fernando Aguirre (Joseph Wiseman, most famous for playing Dr. No in the first James Bond flick) always lurking around. Eventually his fellow soldier, Pancho Villa (Alan Reed, the voice of Fred Flintstone!), names Zapata president but he ends up choosing the people over the power.Continue Reading
The Trouble With Harry
If it's not Alfred Hitchcock's most underrated film, than The Trouble With Harry is certainly his most unusual opus. In 1955, Hitch was in the midst of his unprecedented commercial and artistic hot streak; from '51 to '63 - Strangers on a Train through The Birds - he directed twelve films, a run that also included unquestionable masterpieces Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest, and Psycho (as well as a couple misfires, most disappointingly I confess). Somewhere in the middle is this odd little black comedy about murder, shot in lush autumn Technicolor by the great Robert Burks. It feels like both an Ealing comedy (the little English studio that made stars of Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers) and a precursor to the lighter fare of the French New Wave. It's both romantic and filled with a sort of light suspense. Though very much American, the film is based on a British novel by Jack Trevor Story and that quirky '50s English humor is evident (think of The Lady Killers). It's not a style you see very much on this side of the Atlantic in that decade.
Besides the lush photography, The Trouble With Harry has two very special tricks up its sleeve:Continue Reading
Get Out
While Saturday Night Live has been a talent generator for the last forty-something years, as a sketch show it usually sticks with the obvious and the more tried and true formulas. On the fringes of television (usually cable) is where one finds the sketch shows that truly innovate and surprise: Mr. Show, Kids in the Hall, Chappelle's Show, and The Ben Stiller Show, to name a few. But for my money, Comedy Central's Key & Peele is the best sketch show since the era of SNL. Besides the outstanding and committed performances the two actors Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele give, the skits always seem to go down the least obvious route. Interestingly, the biggest influences on the show don't seem to be the golden age of television's Your Show of Shows or England's Monty Python, but instead The Twilight Zone.
There's an eerie element to the humor of Key & Peele and often an M. Night Shyamalan-like twist at the end of each bit. So it's not surprising that for Peele's directing debut (which he also wrote), he would make a proto-horror flick. Get Out is definitely less Lorne Michaels and more Rod Serling -- and even more Ira Levin (Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives, Deathtrap) with a sprinkling of Blaxploitation's most outrageously paranoid thrillers (Ganja & Hess, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus and especially J.D.'s Revenge).Continue Reading
The Big Sick
Almost all of the better Judd Apatow joints (Cable Guy, Knocked Up, Superbad, Trainwreck, etc) have two big flaws in common: after some uproarious comedy, they end up going for the heart, therefore selling out the earlier, better raunch. They are also often ten minutes too long. In other words, Apatow's world usually has third-act issues. The Big Sick, written by married team Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani, and directed by Michael Showalter - Apatow is one of eight listed producers - finally breaks this third-act curse and ends beautifully. It may become the first Apatow flick to garner a bunch of well-deserved Oscar nominations. In an era of funny but sloppy and rushed comedies, this is a perfect movie. It achieves the status of being "more than just a comedy," like Annie Hall, for example, which is something that Apatow has been reaching for in recent years.
Co-writer Nanjiani stars as a struggling Chicago comedian who shares his first name, Kumail, and yes (SPOILERS), this is apparently a pretty-much, kinda-sorta, true story about how he and his wife Emily met and fell in love. Emily is played by Zoe Kazan, always an interesting actress, and her performance is so lived-in and real, it's easy to overlook the casual brilliance of it. The conflict is that Kumail is a Pakistan-born American, and while his charming family humors his stand-up comedy dreams, they are insistent that he eventually marry a Pakistani woman. So when he meets and falls for Emily, he has to keep it a secret from them, and later, under the pressure of being disowned, he breaks up with her. But when an infection causes her to be forced into a controlled coma, he becomes attached to her hospital bedside, along with her complicated parents, the high-strung Southerner Beth (acting hall-of-famer, Holly Hunter) and the more laid-back and passive Terry (Ray Romano, in a new career-defining role).Continue Reading
De Palma
American director Brian De Palma has a long and often controversial filmography. He started out doing counterculture social satires but found his true calling as cinema's foremost Hitchcock imitator and made a name for himself with his generous use of fake blood and topless women in danger. In the beginning he was often associated with his pals the movie brats (Spielberg, Lucas, Coppola, Scorsese, etc.) who stormed the gates of Hollywood and took advantage of the brief period in the '70s between the era of the studio system and corporate conglomeration, when directors ruled with more personal projects. While many of his peers dominated the awards and critics' lists, De Palma was more of a B-movie director who well into the blockbuster '80s had a hit-and-miss record, which in retrospect, is at least always interesting. Directors Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow create the perfect tribute with their endlessly fascinating documentary De Palma: no talking heads, just the always-bearded director discussing each film, year-by-year with plenty of clips to accompany him.
De Palma began his career in academia and on the fringes, a true independent director, doing unfunny comedies. His peak of unfunniness came with his first studio picture, the horrible Tommy Smothers vehicle Get to Know Your Rabbit. It bombed and De Palma reinvented himself with the bizarre cult musical Phantom of the Paradise and the very Hitchcockian thriller Sisters (which still stands up today, for me, as maybe his best film). Its mild acclaim and success got him a chance to direct the high profile adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie. The film was a smash and De Palma became a brand name. He has had some hits: Dressed to Kill, Scarface (which mostly found its audience later via cable and videotape), The Untouchables and Mission Impossible (more a Tom Cruise production than a De Palma joint). He made a pretty good movie, Carlito's Way (mostly memorable because of Sean Penn's brilliant performance as Al Pacino's coked-out lawyer), but most of his other films have ranged from forgettable to not very good.Continue Reading
Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words
With The Criterion Collection's release of the wonderful box set 3 Films by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman (Stromboli, Europe '51 and Journey To Italy), a little seen documentary that would have made a perfect supplement instead has been given its own stand-alone release -- because it's that good. Director Stig Bjorkman's 2015 Swedish doc Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words actually proves to be just as compelling and well made as anything in the more celebrated box set. This is as good a documentary about a monumental film actress as has ever been produced, thanks to a treasure trove of correspondence, home movies, and, of course, footage from her own films and news reels (since she was the original international paparazzi prey). Ingrid Bergman was a complete original. Besides having a hall-of-fame film career she also lived one of the most interesting offscreen lives that often played out like a Douglas Sirk melodrama.
Ingrid grew up in a family of people who died young, which gave her extra drive. While still a teenager, she become a popular film actress in her homeland of Sweden. She was brought to America by big-time movie producer David O. Selznick to star in a remake of her own film, Intermezzo. In '39, the film ended up being a big hit and -- bang! -- she was a star. An astonishing run of films would make her the most important film actress of the 1940s. She would get four Oscar nominations in the decade for The Bells of St Mary's, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Joan of Arc and Gaslight, for which she won the award. She was in the popular Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as well as in Hitchcock films Spellbound and Notorious (his greatest movie, so says I). Most famously, she would play Ilsa in quite possibly the most beloved film of the decade, Casablanca. All this before the age of thirty-three!Continue Reading
Tilt is a quirky, surprisingly endearing movie about growing up. The examples being made show the fumbling of a young man keen on trying to con his way into obtaining respect and a fourteen-year-old girl who doesn't know what respect is. This morality tale is somehow sweetly wrapped up in the act of pinball hustling. That's right, pinball.
There are few films that handle the cult fascination with pinball parlors or even arcades for that matter. Joysticks and The Wizard come to mind almost instantly. Surely the 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters shows that the craze is still very much alive. Those old enough to be adolescents or young adults during the '70s and '80s can even likely attest to there being a lack of nerd-association with the sport.Continue Reading

|Thousands Demand Reform in Bahrain
|[An Nahar] Several thousand Bahrainis marched near the capital Manama on Friday to demand reforms in a protest called by the Shiite opposition in the tiny but strategic Sunni-ruled Gulf kingdom, witnesses said.
The demonstrators also called for the departure of the king's uncle Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman al-Khalifa, who has been prime minister for more than four decades.
Thousands of men and women protested in al-Bilad al-Qadim, waving Bahraini flags and brandishing pictures of political detainees, the witnesses said.
"National action calling for democratic change will not stop ... until all rights have been granted," opposition groups said in a statement.
"The action of the people of Bahrain on the ground has lasted for two years and will not end -- the opposition will act every day with demonstrations until all our demands are met," it added.
Referring to a call by King Hamad
...King of Bahrain (since 14 February 2002), having previously been its emir (from 6 March 1999). He is a Sunni, while the rest of Bahrain is predominantly Shiite...
on January 23 for a new round of national dialogue, the statement said "this dialogue is obscure and does not reflect a serious will on the part of the authorities to meet popular demands."

Dolce Gabbana Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana turned down the kitsch factor ten-fold with this collection, and set out to design a functional and fabulous wardrobe for the "renaissance" woman. Literally.
From the flouncy lace, which was a theme carried throughout, to the Baroque-trimmed jackets, dresses, and capes, it was an Elizabethan extravaganza. There were a few lace dresses I could see selling well, but all-in-all there was nothing new done in that category. Unlike Miuccia Prada's iconic lace overlays from fall 2008 or even Marc Jacobs' spring 2012 cotton candy collection for Louis Vuitton, Dolce and Gabbana played it safe and it was obvious that they were more interested in margins and turnover value than intriguing uses of lace and other sheer fabrics.
A rather large collection of 75 looks, I always find their shows to be a little overwhelming, and the large gaps between thematic shifts make connecting the dots an unnecessarily lengthy process. While most of the industry is taking its cue conceptually from minimalists, Dolce & Gabbana still find the smorgasbord approach to fashion shows to be the most effective. They could benefit from a stern editing eye so the strongest looks from the collection aren't belabored by retail evergreens and basics.
The strength of the collection was undeniably in the graphic prints, which has been an industry-wide phenomenon for a few seasons now. New, bold, and most of all intelligently designed, the needlepoint tropical florals were definitely captivating. And the surprising appearance of cherubs was whimsical, well cut, and the perfect element of hilarity to what started as a grim and literal presentation.

Hi Guys,
Right i am creating a program which is design to load up large text files in a jtextarea and allow the user to read through it and run a search, however it crashes my program when i open anything larger than 30mb file and even then the program is slow and unresponsive . Below is some of the code i am using
private void btnOpenFileActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) { // TODO add your handling code here: JFileChooser chooser= new JFileChooser(); chooser.showOpenDialog(this); File file= chooser.getSelectedFile(); filePath=file.getAbsolutePath(); LoadFile loading= new LoadFile(); loading.setFile(file); loading.start(); } class LoadFile extends Thread { // This method is called when the thread runs File file; public void run() { FileReader input; try { txtStatus.setText("Loading......"); input = new FileReader(file); txtPane.read(input, null); txtStatus.setText("Done.."); } catch (Exception ex) { } } public void setFile(File myFile){ file=myFile; } }
I have noticed a nice program called "large file viewer" it opens up these large files very quickly no laggyness or chunkiness of the interface and it works like a charm.
Do you know how i can achieve the same thing in java like opening up these large files quickly and not locking up ect ect.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett is famous for his long-term perspective. He has said that he likes to make investments he would be comfortable holding even if the market shut down for 10 years.
That's tough for many of us — particularly when stocks do tumble for an extended period. But what does "long term" investing really mean? Depending on your stage of life, your "long term" may be different from someone else's. So your investment strategy should take this into account. And remember: the market won't go either up or down forever.
The power of time
In 2010, the Library of Congress released a report called "Behavioral Patterns and Pitfalls of U.S. Investors," in which it was noted that excessive trading often causes investors to underperform the market. In short: You have a better chance of achieving a positive return in the stock market over the course of 5 or 10 years, as compared to just a single year.
Another study also showed that returns improve dramatically simply by avoiding trading during the market's 90 worst days — but of course, predicting those days is the challenge.
That's why patience is so important to maximizing your returns. Discipline in trading can help you stick to your long-term plans. Here are a few ways to do it:
1) Have a game plan against panic
Set predetermined guidelines that take emotion out of your decisions. These guidelines may vary depending on your circumstances, but examples include:
2) Remember that everything's relative
Much of the variance in the returns of different portfolios is based on their respective asset allocations. Compare a diversified portfolio's performance to the S&P 500 — you may find you're doing better than the stock market as a whole.
3) Pay attention to how far you've come since you started
Instead of focusing on day-to-day market fluctuations, look at performance over the past year, 3 years, 5 years, and more.
4) Leverage dividends to help cushion the impact of price swings
If you're retired, think before reacting to a downturn. If you sell stock during a period of falling prices simply because that was your original game plan, you might not get the best price. And the decision may even reduce your ability to generate income in later years.
Instead, try to adjust your lifestyle temporarily.
5) Use cash to for peace of mind
Having cash on hand makes it easier to act thoughtfully instead of impulsively, so you're less tempted to sell stocks at a bad time just to meet day-to-day expenses.
With these tips in mind, you'll find it easier to face market fluctuations and hold onto your investments for a longer time, through many market cycles — giving you a better chance to achieve greater returns.

Smoak lifts Mariners over Rangers
Arlington, TX – Justin Smoak's leadoff homer in the eighth inning proved to be the difference, as the Seattle Mariners overcame blowing a six-run lead to post an 8-6 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday.
The Rangers had scored a combined five runs over the previous two innings before Smoak launched Tanner Scheppers' (1-1) second pitch over the center- field wall.
Scheppers succeeded Martin Perez, who walked one and struck out five in 4 1/3 hitless innings in relief of ineffective starter Scott Feldman.
"I saw Seattle hitters finding holes. It just wasn't his night tonight," Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
Smoak's blast made a winner out of Lucas Luetge (2-1), who gave up the tying run on a David Murphy groundout in the seventh but got rookie Jurickson Profar to ground into a fielder's choice with the bases loaded to end the inning.
The Mariners tacked on an insurance run in the ninth as pinch-runner Munenori Kawasaki scored on a base hit by Smoak.
Tom Wilhelmsen recorded the final four outs to earn his 27th save of the season.
With the loss, the Rangers saw their AL West lead shrink to two games over Oakland.
Michael Saunders drove in the Mariners' first run with a two-out single in the first inning and highlighted a five-run third with a two-run triple.
Dustin Ackley led off the frame with a home run to right field off Feldman, who was pitching on eight days' rest and had lost five consecutive decisions over a six-start stretch. His ERA in that time was 5.97.
Saunders made it 4-0 with a triple into the right-field corner. The hit plated Kyle Seager and John Jaso, who had singled and walked, respectively. Smoak and Eric Thames each added an RBI single, chasing Feldman from the game.
Seattle starter Jason Vargas walked the bases loaded in the home third, but limited the damage to a Nelson Cruz sacrifice fly. Vargas wasn't as fortunate in the sixth, surrendering a three-run homer to a returning Mike Napoli.
The Rangers reinstated Napoli, as well as pitcher Robbie Ross, from the 15-day disabled list on Saturday. Napoli missed 33 games with a left quad strain.
Cruz singled home Josh Hamilton in the seventh before Murphy grounded out with the bases loaded.
"It's good signs for us," Vargas said.
Game Notes
Ross had been sidelined since Aug. 30 with a left forearm strain ... Vargas gave up four runs on six hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings ... Feldman allowed six runs on seven hits and walked two in his 100th career start.

Nearly a decade after then 19-year-old Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook from his Harvard dorm room as a way for college students to communicate, an integral audience, teenagers, now find the social media platform far less engaging than they used to, Business Insider reported.
And the company knows it. In its annual 10-K report, Facebook says that its business could be hurt by younger members fleeing the site.
"We believe that some of our users, particularly our younger users, are aware of and actively engaging with other products and services similar to, or as a substitute for, Facebook," reads the report. "For example, we believe that some of our users have reduced their engagement with Facebook in favor of increased engagement with other products and services such as Instagram."
U.S. & World
Instagram, a photo sharing app for the iPhone, where many of the former Facebook faithful are heading, is a property of the company.
However, the other leading social media apps, Tumblr and Snapchat continue to gain younger users daily. It's an issue Facebook is well aware of.
"In the event that our users increasingly engage with other products and services, we may experience a decline in user engagement and our business could be harmed," the company also said in its report.
So while Zuckerberg's "Social Network" may be fading in popularity from youth, his hold on the mobile market via Instagram is still firmly intact. It's unsure from a company standpoint how the shifting trend will ultimately affect Facebook.
Even in the face of losing its "cool factor," Facebook's user population still increased 25 percent in 2012 for the year, from 845 million to 1.06 billion. Between that and what they say is developers and marketers continued "engagement" with their platform, Facebook doesn't see itself becoming the next Myspace any time soon.
"We believe that we are at the forefront of enabling faster, easier, and richer communication between people," the report reads. "Facebook has become an integral part of many of our users' daily lives."

In the third part of our series profiling British chefs in New York – see our previous installments with Nobu's Matt Hoyle and Chip Shop's Chris Sell – culinary rock star April Bloomfield shows us how to wield a mallet and pound the hell out of some lamb. Back in 2004, Bloomfield became the hippest executive chef in town as co-owner of The Spotted Pig, the Big Apple's first gastropub. (Jay-Z, Fatboy Slim, Bono, and Michael Stipe were among the hotspot's early investors.) The Pig, which boasts sinewy UK pub grub with nods to Italy, has been filled to capacity with celebs, foodies, and tourists ever since.
Now, Bloomfield is offering amateur chefs the tools to bring her culinary creations to life in their own kitchens. Her cookbook A Girl and Her Pig – the cover of which shows Bloomfield with a swine slung around her neck – features more than just pork, of course. Bloomfield kindly invited us into her own kitchen to show us how to prep lamb chops with a fragrant chimichurri sauce. (And yes, she totally gets gangsta with a mallet.) There's a full text recipe below the video, for reference.
April Bloomfield's Lamb Chops with Chimichurri
Serves 4
12 frenched rib lamb chops (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
Chimichurri (see recipe below)
1/2 lemon, if you'd like
One at a time, put the chops on three layers of plastic wrap, fold the plastic over the chops, and use a heavy pan or mallet to lightly whack the meaty portion to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Preheat your grill to high (preferably, build a charcoal fire and let the coals turn pale gray) or heat a cast-iron griddle over high heat. Let the grates or griddle get good and hot.
Generously season the chops all over with salt. Working in batches if need be, cook the chops, turning them over once, until the exterior is deep brown and the fat is golden, just about a minute or two per side. I like them medium, pink all the way through. Arrange them nicely on a platter.
Stir the chimichurri well, have a taste, and add a little more lemon juice, if
you'd like. The extra brightness is nice with the lamb. Drizzle some on each chop
and eat right away.
Makes about 1 cup
1⁄3 cup tightly packed very finely chopped shallots
(about 2 medium shallots)
1/2 teaspoon very finely chopped garlic (about 1 medium clove)
2⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
A big handful of small, delicate flat-leaf parsley sprigs
A big handful of mint leaves
1 teaspoon seeded and finely chopped habanero chili
A generous pinch of Maldon or another flaky sea salt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or to taste
Combine the shallots, garlic, and olive oil in a bowl.
Toss the herbs together on a cutting board (this will keep your mint from going brown on you) and chop them very fine. Add the herbs and habanero to the bowl and stir the mixture really well. Add the salt, then let the sauce sit for a few minutes or up to 2 hours while the herbs get to know each other. Right before you are ready to serve it, stir in the lemon juice. Taste the chimichurri, season it again with salt and/or lemon juice if you need to, and serve.

It is at night, probably close to midnight. I am driving at a country road. It is a narrow, two lane road. It is pitch black, and I can hardly see the road. There are no cars anywhere around.
I see headlights approaching from the opposite lane. I see the flashing rotating beacons. It is the police. I stop. The police car stops right next to my car. Now the road is completely blocked.
Two cops step outside. The cop on the drivers side looks and acts very much like DeNiro. He shines the flashlight to my face, and asks me to put the keys on the dashboard, and my hands on the steering wheel where he can see it. He and his partner move around my car checking the inside from the windows his partner makes me open the trunk.
The DeNiro cop finishes his complete cycle around the car, and approaching my window again staring at me. This cannot be any good news. I think I am going to get a big fine. All I needed now was a $200 fine. But, this can be even worse why are they searching the car. I don't like the looks of this DeNiro guy.
I suddenly feel very relieved. The DeNiro guy is now in my window. Before he opens his mouth, I silence him. ``I am sorry officer, but I've just realized that I am just having a bad dream.'' The DeNiro cop looks dazed. I wake up. Wow, this was a pretty realistic dream. I very much enjoy waking up from such realistic looking dreams. I feel very happy to have made a close escape to what seemed like my reality. And in this one, I even made an exit with a style, don't you think?

Kings select Duke's Marvin Bagley III with 2nd overall pick
By MICHAEL WAGAMAN
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) Marvin Bagley III was adamant that he was the best player going into the draft and was quick to share that opinion when asked. The former Duke star wasn't backing down after being taken by the Sacramento Kings with the second overall selection, either.
"That's just the type of player I am," Bagley said during a conference call with reporters. "I'm going to have confidence in my game. I still think I'm the best player in the draft and I stand by that. I put a lot of work into it and I'm glad that I'll be able to show it with Sacramento."
Bagley's positioning had been a topic of debate in the days leading up to the draft, whereas 7-foot-1 center Deandre Ayton of Arizona was almost unanimously viewed as the top overall pick.
The Phoenix Suns grabbed Ayton with the No. 1 pick, dropping Bagley to the No. 2 spot with Sacramento which he says will give him added incentive heading into the NBA.
"It just lit a fire inside of me to want to play and compete at a high level," Bagley said. "So I'm happy it ended like that. Now all we can do is step out on the floor and play the game. That's what it all is."
The Kings drafted another Duke player, Gary Trent Jr., with the 37th overall pick then traded him to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for two future second-round selections.
Bagley will be a welcome addition in Sacramento's frontcourt. The 6-foot-11 Bagley was AP's player of the year in the Atlantic Coast Conference during his only season at Duke. He averaged 21 points and 11.1 rebounds while shooting better than 60 percent and has the ability to consistently finish at the rim.
That is key for the Kings, who were inconsistent inside much of last season while finishing 27-55.
Sacramento general manager Vlade Divac had several options with the franchise's highest pick since the Kings grabbed Pervis Ellison with the top overall pick in 1989.
Missouri's Michael Porter Jr. and Real Madrid sensation Luka Doncic were linked to Sacramento in the weeks leading up to the draft. Both were intriguing for different reasons, but there were questions about Porter's health as well as concerns about Doncic's ability to carry over his international success to the NBA.
By contrast, Bagley is considered a safe pick who should help the Kings' inside scoring and rebounding.
"I'm going to be ready to come in and give it my all," Bagley said. "Effort's going to always be there. I'm excited. I can't wait to get out there and go to work."
Bagley was one of four players in Division I to average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in 2017. He joins a struggling franchise that hasn't made the playoffs since 2006.
Coach Dave Joerger's young team showed flashes at times in 2017 but there was never an established starting lineup and players were shuffled in and out.
Bagley played forward at Duke but could also get time at center in Joerger's system. The 19-year-old is more of a scoring threat than last year's starter, Willie Cauley-Stein, although both big men need more development on the defensive end.
A more likely scenario is the two big men playing together to give the Kings an inside presence on both ends.
"I think I can bring a lot to a team, offensively and defensively, inside and out," Bagley said. "I'm very confident in my game and my abilities. I know how much work I put into this and how much I sacrificed for it. I'm excited to show the world, my team and my teammates everything I can do."
