A new version of Adobe Reader for Android released on April 10 fixed a critical security vulnerability.
The "What's New" section of the Adobe Reader page on Google Play for version 11.2.0 lists several new features but no security updates.
On April 13, Dutch information security firm Securify posted an advisory on the Full-Disclosure mailing list for a vulnerability in Adobe Reader for Android version 11.1.3 which was fixed in version 11.2.0. They also have the advisory on their own site.
The vulnerable version of Reader exposes several insecure Javascript interfaces. Using the vulnerability a malicious PDF could execute arbitrary Java code. The code would run in the app sandbox for Reader, so documents available to Readers could be compromised, and the attack code could create new files, but no damage would be possible outside the sandbox.
On April 14 Adobe issued an advisory (APSB14-12) for the vulnerability. The advisory credits Yorick Koster of Securify BV for reporting the vulnerability and working with Adobe responsibly.

Fishing for Cobia in Fort Lauderdale; A Cobia rates among the very best in taste and texture of seafoodPosted on: March 28, 2010
March 24th, 2010
The weather cleared up just in time for Spring Break 2010 in Fort Lauderdale. Today, Russ, Randy, John and Dennis fished aboard the Lady Pamela with Justin and Adam. Justin turned right out of Port Everglades as Adam arranged the trolling spread into the water. They trolled to the south catching Bonito fish, King Mackerel and Bluerunner. After they slammed the fish on the troll, Justin lead the guys to one of the many shipwrecks along the South Florida coastline. Small Almaco Jacks and Amberjacks were bustin' the bait when a giant Cobia took a bite. Randy fought his dinner all the way to the boat and realized his catch was almost as big as his mate (Little Adam). Cobia are hard fighting fish that demand a sturdy rod and reel setup. Indisputably a rough and ready fighter, when hooked, a Cobia considered by some to be one terrific sport-fish that offers excellent eating.
Tight Lines!

The war between Apple and Samsung is continuing to heat up. Days after the release of the iPhone 5, Samsung came out with an attack ad promoting their latest available smartphone – the Galaxy S3 (video below) and are reportedly readying the next generation Galaxy. While there no definitive reports of the Samsung Galaxy S4 release date, it is rumored to be released in February. This is slightly different than Apple's releases as they have been known to tackle the holiday season, but it looks like Samsung Galaxy S4 release date will give Samsung a big boost in 2013. We have included everything that we know about the GS 4 below, check it out!
Samsung has yet to confirm any of the reports on specs, but here is what we know. It's expected that the Galaxy S4 will sport a quad-core processor and depending on the country, will feature Samsung's Exynos processor or Qualcomm's Snapdragon. The OLED screen will be larger than that of its predecessor, the S3 (4.8 inches), and the iPhone 5's (4 inches) – most likely 5 minches. It will also sport 4G LTE connectivity and an Android OS. All of these rumored specs look to build upon the already impressive Galaxy S3 which boasts a 4.8 inch 720p HD display, 4G LTE connectivity, Android's 4.0 OS, and a reasonable contracted price of $199. We have included some of the mock ups of what the Samsung Galaxy S4 might look like.
Rumors have started doing the rounds about the possible release date of Samsung Galaxy S4 and its expected specs. Here we take a look at these rumors
Samsung Galaxy S3 arrived some five months ago. It is still creating huge buzz in market with lots of new features. But, rumor have begun about the next version Galaxy S4 now. The possible upgrade for the Galaxy S series for 2013 is rumored to be a more brilliant phone. It may be too early to talk about the S4; however, it is sure that we can look for a smarter Galaxy S4 next year. As per some reports, Samsung may demo the device at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
What will be the Galaxy S4? Do you expect anything more on the next Galaxy S phone? Maybe, there will be a heavier rear camera, more powerful processor and RAM and more. Anyway, here we get through some hot features that are expected to be on Galaxy S4.
5-inch Display: It is hoped that Galaxy S4 will feature a 5-inch display. The current model of the series has a 4.8-inch display, which makes it the world's largest phone in display size. Of course, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is there with a 5.5-inch display; but, it is more a 'phablet' than a smartphone. Well, Samsung may design its next Galaxy S phone in order to make it more competitive to iPhone 5. There is also a talk that HTC is going to release a 5-inch One X 5, which may also get a good rival in S4 if it has a 5-inch display.
3GB of RAM: The current Galaxy S model mounts 1GB of RAM and the new Galaxy Note 2 has 2GB of RAM. As per rumors, the new S4 is to come with a whopping 3GB of RAM. You may be confused of the need for that much computing power in the next Galaxy S phone. Maybe, Samsung will be including more features to the phone. SamMobile, a Samsung-centric blog recently published images of some prototype Galaxy S4. The images seem to be showing 3GB of RAM.
13MP Camera: Samsung Updates has reported that the next Galaxy S4 will mount a heavy 13MP rear camera. It claims that it has spotted a module that shows a 13MP rear camera. It was hoped that Galaxy S3 or Note 2 would get the big camera. But, Samsung has kept up 8MP cams on those devices; and the new S4 may have the heavy camera.
"According to sources, Korean media has reported a 13MP (4208×3120) camera module that was meant to be used first in Samsung Galaxy S III and/or Samsung Note II but was omitted. According to the Korean media, the module has such parameters: 8.5(L) x 8.5(W) x 5.9(H). It will be used in upcoming Samsung Galaxy S IV," Samsung Updates writes.
128GB of internal memory: There is a report that Samsung recently started to mass produce 128GB of memory sticks. Galaxy S3 is up in three memory variants; 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. Maybe, Samsung will be working to expand internal memory capacity of the device to the next stage, 128GB.
A Modified Design: Galaxy S3 is one of the gorgeously-looking handsets in market today. It is has an 8.6mm thick and lightweight weight body. Further, the device is known for its superb design and larger display. Of course, the next generation Galaxy S4 will be having a grand look and design. The company will certainly be producing the handset with some spectacular design features.
Final Words
Of course, it is too early to talk about the next version Galaxy S4. We will have to wait for around eight months to get the device in stores as per Samsung's Galaxy S product release pattern. The company started shipping the current Galaxy S3 in May. There is no chance that the firm will surface its new Galaxy S handset before that time period. Anyway, it will also be hitting all key carriers in the U.S. similar to its previous versions.

National Perspective Considered by France in Imposition of Financial Transaction Tax
AUTHOR(S): Turlough Galvin
PRACTICE AREA GROUP: Tax
The focus of attention concerning the possible introduction of a financial transaction tax (FTT) has turned again to Nicolas Sarkozy following the French President's insistence that he would seek to introduce the tax on unilateral national basis. This latest development has come to pass following a mixed response to discussions (largely initiated by Mr Sarkozy) for a Europe-wide tax on financial transactions. Despite the strong opposition against the tax, on both a European and a Eurozone basis, the French President has been staunch in recent days in indicating his intentions to impose an FTT in France later this year.
Crucially, the current French proposal is to impose the tax on credit default swaps over sovereign debt, high frequency equity trades and shares purchased on French quoted stocks. This excludes sovereign and private sector bonds and other derivatives. The more limited range of transactions to be affected by the FTT is at odds with M Sarkozy's rhetoric that he wanted to provide a "shock" to other countries to push them into adopting an FTT.
Mr Sarkozy's comments have come in the midst of pre-election campaigning in advance of the French presidential elections, the first rounds of which takes place in April 2012. Given the timescale of these elections and Mr Sarkozy's promises it is unclear whether the current president will still be in office and able implement any sort of FTT. French financial institutions still have plenty cause for concern however since Mr Sarkozy's main opponent in the presidential race, M Francois Hollande, has also pledged to introduce an FTT.
Eurozone states may seek to learn from France's example in order to gain a better understanding of the true financial impact of an FTT. Commentators are already pointing to the difficulty of computing and collecting the tax, and to the dangers of pushing financial transactions to more hospitable destinations.
On the other hand, the current French proposal really resembles a souped-up stamp duty, something which, the French have no doubt noticed, is already in force on transactions in equities in the UK and Ireland. One thing that is certain in the midst of these discussions is that the financial sector in Europe is edgy about plans for reform which would disrupt the status quo. Indeed, the three largest French banks (BNP Parisbas SA, Societe Generale and Credit Agricole) were already trading more than 6 per cent lower on the day following Mr Sarkozy's announcement – a sure fire warning for anyone in support of the tax of the volatility of the sector and the scope for a negative reaction by the market.

Meet the cute little Sunny Obama
Meet Sunny, the newest member of the Obama family.
Sunny, who was born in Michigan in June 2012, is a Portuguese water dog just like Bo and works great for the Obamas because of allergies in their family.

Meet the cute little Sunny Obama
Sunny is the perfect little sister for Bo -- full of energy and very affectionate -- and the First Family picked her name because it fit her cheerful personality.
Bo joined the Obamas shortly after they moved into the White House in 2009, in keeping with a promise the President had made to his daughters the night he was elected in November 2008.
But Bo, a male, was a little lonely, according to the post penned by Michelle Obama's spokeswoman Hannah August.

We suspect Sunny will follow in Bo's footsteps and keep the President company in the Oval Office, go for walks with the First Family after their 6:30 family dinner and even jump up on the First Lady's lap from time to time!, the blog noted.
Meanwhile, the Obama family is making a contribution to the Washington Humane Society in honour of Sunny.

By David Foutch, Lopez Island
It is certainly prudent for the county and private owners of waterfront property to take reasonable and cost-effective steps to prepare for sea-level rise. It is also prudent to put some effort into reducing greenhouse gas pollution to minimize the amount of sea-level rise that will occur. But San Juan County's contribution to this pollution is negligible, compared to the worldwide emissions of greenhouse gases. Even if everyone in the county could cut carbon emissions to zero today, this would have no discernible effect on the future sea-level rise.
So how can the county and its residents affect global carbon emissions? First, the county should join the city of Philadelphia, Santa Fe County, the state of California and 60 other municipalities across the country who each have passed a resolution calling on Congress to pass carbon fee-and-dividend legislation. This legislation would set a gradually rising fee on fossil fuels. Doing this is forecast to cut U.S. fossil fuel use in half in just 20 years, without creating an energy shortage. The fees would then be returned to American families in equal shares, protecting them from higher energy costs. This policy is forecast to help — not harm — the U.S. economy, creating jobs and growing the gross domestic product. The policy also includes a border adjustment, which will encourage our trading partners to put a fee on fossil fuels and which will prevent U.S. companies from moving work to countries without such a fee. Because the United States trades with nearly every nation in the world, the border adjustment will cause reductions in emissions globally. So, it is very much in the interest of San Juan County for such a policy to be implemented. And passing a resolution in support of it would cost much, much less than the county will have to spend to adapt to sea-level rise.
Further, county residents should join Citizens' Climate Lobby, which is laser-focused on persuading Congress to pass this legislation. Citizens' Climate Lobby is recognized and praised for its bipartisan and effective work. This work includes the formation of the Climate Solutions Caucus in the House of Representatives, which now has 62 members: 31 Republicans and 31 Democrats. Citizens' Climate Lobby itself has 90,000 supporters — ordinary Americans like you and me — and is doubling in size each year. Isn't it worth a few hours of your time each month to add your voice to theirs? Dr. James Hansen said that when it comes to climate action, "There is no more effective step you could take than to become an active member of this group."
Sea-level rise is coming, and we islanders should get ready. But we should also add our voices to the many others calling on Congress to take strong action on climate change by passing carbon fee-and-dividend legislation.

This is one of my coworkers, Rob Brown.
There's a lot you can say about this, but ultimately I think it boils down to a big bucket of stupid. Yeah, thrill seeking is all well and good but when there's a virtual guarantee of death when something goes wrong, this really means that the risk simply isn't worth it.
Barring something unexpected, I'll be plunging to my death in two weeks. I've already put down my deposit.

Nine-tenths of your operations involve fastening. But did you know that only 20% of fastening costs actually come from the fastener itself? The rest comes down to logistics and technical issues. That means that 80% of your fastener overhead could be managed with a smarter process. And no one has a smarter process than Field.
Field's difference is our big-picture thinking. We don't just look at the price per part; we take a data-driven, multi-disciplinary approach that saves you money now and over time. We'll add value by building cost-savings into each of your products while improving fastener performance and structural integrity. Instead of just suppressing price on a particular component, we'll redesign the workflow or product design to use a completely different screw or process. We'll work closely with you to help you eliminate waste, reduce labor costs, and forecast accurately. And we'll do it all with guaranteed cost savings, now and in the future.

In a way, dark circles act like a black spot on a person's personality. To a large extent, a person's reputation depends on how beautiful and healthy he looks. Hence, it is very important to note that dark circles are a very important factor that spoils a person's personality. The face of a person should always look fresh and ready. Black circles also make a human being a dork. As soon as they knock on our face, at the same time we should take some immediate steps to get out of these dark circles.
These Dark Circles can be caused due to the residual of immense fluid under the skin of the person. The skin that is present under eyes is one of the softest in the entire body. Dark circles are usually caused because of over-weeping. Since, tears contain high concentration of salt in them; they can cause such circles under the eyes. It is a very common disease that is found among the people suffering from depression and also the people who are unable to complete their sleep at nights. Under-sleeping is also another major cause for this problem. If the user is not able to get appropriate sleep in the desired sleeping hours, it can help develop dark circles under the eyes.
Some people have dark circles in their genes. For example, if their parents possess the problem of dark circles, their son/daughter will inherently possess the same problem. This is the most common cause for dark circles and there is not a huge scope of improvement in such cases. Another cause for the surfacing of dark circles is the lack of proteins and Iron in the human body. The deficiency of protein in the body is also responsible for the increased aging of the person. Apart from these reasons, there are a few more contributing to the accumulation of dark circles under the eye, like infections and diseases such as hay fever, etc.
Possessing dark circles under the eyes can be highly frustrating and it can also hamper the confidence of a person while going for socializing. Hence, it needs to be worked out in a quick manner in order to avoid all the shame and frustration that the person possibly faces after the arrival of dark circles.
Here are some of the 8 trusted treatments that can be adopted in order to get rid of dark circles completely :-
(i) Improve The Sleeping Habits
The inadequate amount of sleeping hours usually leads to the development of dark circles. It is the most common cause for such dark bags to be surfaced under the eye. Hence, in order to improve these dark circles, the person should make an improvement in his sleeping habits. This may involve the correction of sleeping postures. The person should prefer sleeping on the back, rather than on the chest. A pillow should be used while going for the sleep as it helps to keep the head high and also calms the senses. The flow of blood and fluids in the body is also improved with the help of pillow. A good blood flow is always essential for improving the dark bag situation under the eyes.
(ii) Perform The Blood Circulation Exercises
It is very important for the blood to flow smoothly in order to avoid the development of dark circles under the eyes. For this purpose, the person can commit to certain exercises that aim at improving the blood flow throughout the entire body, especially the face region. Yoga can be an utmost help in correcting the dark circle problem and eliminate it forever. However, a regular exercise regime should be adopted if the person wants to keep the dark circles away from life.
(iii) The Use of Cucumber And Potato Slices
This is the traditional method to cure dark circles. You might have seen many film actors keeping a slice of cucumber or potato on their eyes while taking a break from the shoot. They tend to make their under-eye section more healthy and dark circle free by adopting the age old method of keeping potato/cucumber slice on their eye. It should be kept on the eye for about half an hour and subsequently removed. This helps tremendously to keep the skin fresh and glowing.
(iv) Remove Make Up Before Taking A Nap
People usually forget to remove their make up while going to sleep. They do it because of ignorance or due to laziness. The eye make-up should be especially removed before going to sleep. The presence of make-up on the eyes while sleeping can make the eyes look bulgy and weak soon. When you grow older, the situation worsens up; therefore a person should always remove the eye make-up before going off to sleep.
(v) Take The Medication For Allergies And Infections Seriously
Sometimes, the cause for dark circles is the flurry of infections and allergies possessed by the person. Hence, they must be properly medicated and proper measures must be taken to improve the condition.
(vi) Usage of Neti-pot
Neti-pot is a device that is used for the elimination of nasal infections and hay fever. Hay fever is the most common cause for the development of dark circles under the eyes and if it's removed, there are a very few chances to develop dark circles in the future.
(vii) Eat Green Vegetables
Green vegetables have a lot of healing attributes. They should be involved in the daily food consumption schedule. Fruits like banana, oranges also have a great effect to cure dark circles. Hence, an emphasis must be laid by the person on vegetarian diet as it heals dark circles in a very hassle free way.
(viii) Keep The Depression And Excessive Stress Away
The major cause for the development of dark circles is the stress that creeps inside a person's mind over the time. This can result in sleep loss and bad eating habits. Therefore, a person must keep the stress away from life. It can be done with the help of yoga and the other practices. A certain set of exercises can also help the person overcome stress and depression. Once the depression is overcome, the person can witness a great improvement in his problem of dark circles. Hence, stress must be eliminated from life.

Avenged Sevenfold Releases 'Black Reign' and Talks Upcoming Music
The band is readying to write new music
Avenged Sevenfold is wrapping all of their work with the Call of Duty video game franchise into one pretty package.
Related: Avenged Sevenfold Forced to Cancel Upcoming Tour With Prophets of Rage
Their brand new EP, Black Reign is a collection of all of the songs they've created for the game. Previous releases "Not Ready To Die" (2011) and "Carry On" (2012) accompany the recently dropped "Mad Hatter" and the originally Call of Duty exclusive instrumental, "Jade Helm."
"Anyone who's heard our music knows that we won't let ourselves be handcuffed by expectations," frontman M. Shadows notes in an interview with Billboard about writing for the franchise.
Along with their new music comes an update from Shadows on how his vocal rest is going and plans for the future. He notes that Avenged Sevenfold is "in the very early stages of throwing around ideas" and will be jumping into writing soon rather than straining his voice on a rescheduled tour.

By purpose I don't mean making money; that's just a result of a well-run retail pharmacy business. The real purpose of a business is to create, engage and keep a customer. As Peter Drucker, the management guru, once so brilliantly observed, the purpose of a business is not to make a sale but rather to create a customer.
by Gerry Spitzner
Any business that successfully creates and keeps a customer in a cost-effective way will make a profit. If for any reason a business fails to attract new and sustain a certain number of customers, it will experience losses. And too many losses will eventually lead to business failure. It should go without saying that an important part of your pharmacy's business strategy is to make money; but making money shouldn't be the sole purpose of your business.
Purpose trumps profit every time
The sustainability of your pharmacy business comes from profit; and in every business profit is always in the repeat business; it's not in the first or one-time transaction. Repeat business means you're retaining customers/patients; and that's great. However, in the new business reality a retail pharmacy that continuously relies on only current customers for its economic success isn't going to grow enough to be sustainable in the long term. And to pharmacy retailers continuous customer traffic growth is crucial to competitive advantage and long-term sustainability.
Why you do what you do is just as important as making money. The purpose half of the formula for success involves aligning your pharmacy's business values with personal values. The applied benefits of your patient service is for a cause greater than the pharmacy itself and includes inspiring innovation and positive change, providing employees with a sense of meaning and fulfillment, creating value for the customer, and making a positive impact on the community.
Focus on demand vs supply
To have purpose means the things we do are of real value to others and means it's important to be customer-focused (demand) vs transactional (supply). Focusing on customer demand results in a competitive advantage, brings new customers, and enables a pharmacy to discover improved patient services to meet the needs of today's healthcare consumer.
Being customer-focused rather than what your pharmacy supplies, will shift your pharmacy's purpose squarely where it needs to be in today's marketplace: to the wants and needs of your patients. Doing so will position your patient service in the hearts and minds of your pharmacy team as inspiration rather than sounding like a manipulation to purchase.
Companies with a strong sense of purpose are able to transform and innovate better
In a 2015 survey published by Harvard Business review titled "The Business Case for Purpose" agrees, declaring that companies able to harness the power of purpose to drive performance and profitability enjoy a distinct competitive advantage in strategy, operations, business development, talent management and branding.
The survey defined organizational purpose as "an aspirational reason for being which inspires and provides a call to action for an organization and its partners and stakeholders and provides benefit to local and global society."
Create an internal purpose statement
Purpose doesn't need to involve calculations or numbers. Purpose is human, not economic. Purpose is about the quality of life for your patients. Having a clear articulated and lived purpose is the best way to scale both stakeholder and social value. It's that quality that cannot be described or named easily that not only drives an organization but is also a strategic starting point, a product or service differentiator and an attracter of loyal talent and customers.
Purpose statements are fundamentally different from vision and mission statements. A vision statement is a declaration of what a pharmacy would like to become, something that will never be attained but continually strived for. Mission statements describe how a Pharmacy will accomplish its vision, usually including a summary of core competencies and competitive differentiation. Purpose statements explain why a pharmacy (or patient service) exists, the problem it is solving and why it's important in today's world.
What is the main idea behind what you are doing for your customers?
Your business purpose is your why; it's the reason for being, the reason for doing what you're doing. Everything you do, from designing your patient service to hiring staff to your customer's experience, will be aligned with this purpose. It's your north star; and it guides you when you're lost and points you in the right direction when competing ideas are spreading you too thin. As Simon Sinek, the famed marketing consultant and TED Talk speaker, frequently notes, customers and employees are not loyal because of what a company does, but because of why it does it.
Develop your purpose statement from a WHY perspective using the Simon Sinek style. It's one sentence that captures your unique contribution and impact.
Your contribution is the real actionable part of your Why. The impact is the condition you wish to leave the people and world around you and it's your Pharmacy's purpose. The impact it has on your patients lives. The applied benefit they seek.
For example, consider a purpose statement for a pharmacy offering a pain management patient service: 'We help our patients to optimize their medication so that they can focus on living their life free of the constraints of pain.'
Where to focus your efforts
Several change management experts suggest that employees are the most important audience for messages around purpose. It's more important that the purpose resonates with the employees than with the customers. If it doesn't happen there, then the customers will catch on very quickly. And then any patient service could suspiciously sound like a manipulation rather than inspiration.
It must matter to the provider of services first, and eventually to the community it serves.

Chinese house price data for January was released on Wednesday, and if you're looking for evidence that policymakers are winning the war against rapid price growth in the nation's largest cities, it is surely found in the chart below.
Courtesy of the Commonwealth Bank, it shows the monthly change in new home prices over the past three years.
The cities are ranked in terms of size, ranging from "tier one" — the largest in the country — all the way through to "tier three or below" — at the other end of the spectrum.
And does it tell a story.
Prices, led by the largest centres, have slowed sharply in recent months, coinciding with tighter buying restrictions being implemented by authorities to cool rapid house price growth seen in the earlier parts of last year.
"The slow-down in new home price growth in China over the last few months is largely a result of policy," said Vivek Dhar, mining and energy commodities analyst at the Commonwealth Bank.
"Authorities are making property purchases more difficult to prevent a housing bubble.
"Restrictions were first implemented in almost two dozen cities in late September. Since December at least 7 local city governments stepped up purchasing restrictions," he says.
And it's clear those restrictions are working, even forgiving some scepticism that the scale of the deceleration is far larger than other private surveys.
According to the China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), prices in tier one cities fell by 0.05%, following a slightly larger decline in December. Prices in tier two centres also fell during the month, maintaining the trend seen in late 2016.
Smaller tier three cities bucked the trend, growing at the same pace as seen in December.
While the movements in house prices are being used to gauge potential financial stability risks, for those more interested in the outlook for commodity prices, Dhar says price movements in China's smallest cities will be a key determinant of demand in the latter parts of the year.
"Price growth in tier three or smaller cities is most relevant for China's commodity demand," he says.
"Tier 3 and below cities accounted for around 80-90% of total new property construction following China's stimulus in 2008-2009."
Dhar says that a risk to the outlook for commodity demand will be if policymakers attempts to cool the market end up aggressively slowing price growth in these smaller centres.
"We could see Chinese commodity demand slow later this year, helping push commodity prices lower in 2017," he says.
On the back of efforts to reduce overcapacity in Chinese raw materials producers, along with a rebound in infrastructure and residential property investment, prices for steel, iron ore and coking coal skyrocketed in 2016, more than doubling in some instances.
Given house prices in tier three cities tend to lag movements seen in larger centres, it's easy to understand why so many expect that the current commodity price rally won't last.

|Predicted Gross (m)
|1. Inglourious Basterds
|2. District 9
|3. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
|4. The Time Traveler's Wife
|5. Julie & Julia
|6. Shorts
|7. Post Grad
|8. G-Force
|9. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
|10. The Ugly Truth
|-. The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard
|-. X Games 3D The Movie
After a decidedly muted reception at Cannes, Inglourious Basterds was left for dead on the awards front, and its box office prospect became even more murkier. However, it is now surging almost all the way back with the majority of critics praising its final theatrical version and tracking showing it could surpass Kill Bill 2 to become Tarantino's biggest opener ever. Unlike Grindhouse, Inglourious Basterds has a bona-fide star for the lead in Brad Pitt, who is heavily featured in the trailers. A failure of similar proportion is quite impossible, and it could break out to $30m+.
The signs for Shorts range from weak to terrible. The BOM poll numbers of 67.6% Never and 2.5% OW are worse than Aliens in the Attic's and only a little better than what Hoot (which opened to a miserable $1,116 PTA in 3,018 theaters) had. The tracking is not showing much strength either. Robert Rodriguez has some fanbase of his own, but at this moment, a sub-$7m opening appears highly likely.
On first glance, the poll number for Post Grad may look bleak as well (70.7% Never and only 2.7% OW), but the genre is always one of the worse performers for such questions at BOM. For example, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, Alexis Bledel's film last year, had 76.5% Never and 4.5% OW, while still opened to almost $4K PTA. The bigger issue facing Post Grad is that we have had two consecutive openers in the last couple of weeks targeting at the female audience, and the competition could be tough to overcome. Still, Bledel should have enough drawing power to match the tracking number of $5-6m.
One has to wonder why a film like X Games 3D is made in the first place. No data is suggesting people care about it at all and even know it exist. The BOM poll of 82.7% Never and 1.9% OW is one of the very worst in history. Its PTA will only be saved by the inflated 3D prices. it reminds me of Supercross, and I expect a similar opening as a result.
After a strong opening weekend, District 9 continues to see good figures during the week, but they are not untypical enough to suggest a sub-50% drop, not with Inglourious Basterds attracting a similar demographics of viewers. For the other holdovers, G.I. Joe may not escape another 50%+ drop with the new stream of competition, while two comparable films are moving in the opposite directions. In fact, natural frontloadedness and mediocre WOM could hit The Time Traveler's Wife hard enough that it falls below Julie & Julia this weekend, despite of leading by 50% in the last frame. J&J has narrowed its week-to-week drop to 36.5% on Wednesday, and with less competition, it should see a bigger Friday bump this time. It is going to be a close battle between the two.
After finally stabilizing nicely and crossing $100m, G-Force will face the double challenge of losing audience to Shorts and losing 3D screens to X-Games. A 40% drop could be expected.
In their brief three-year history, Paramount Vantage had opened a film in over 1,000 theaters right away just four times. None of the previous three saw good second weekend hold (Black Snake Moan: -54.5%, A Mighty Heart: -59.8%, How She Move: -62.8%), and The Goods should be no different.

August Job Numbers: Last Ones Before Voting Begins
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Election Day isn't until Nov. 6, which gives Democrats and Republicans three more monthly jobs reports to anticipate, right?
Not exactly. Although job numbers for August, September and October will be released before Election Day, August's jobs report, which comes out Friday, is the last one before general election voting begins, thanks to early voting.
Between Friday's jobs report and September's, which comes out Oct. 5, several key swing states, including Iowa, Ohio and Virginia, will have already started to vote through early and in-person absentee ballots. And while historically speaking, the majority of votes are not cast early in these states, a sizable percentage (although less than half) of the voting population still gets to the polls before Election Day. In 2008, 30 percent of the total votes cast in Ohio came in early. In Iowa, it was 36 percent, and in Virginia, 14 percent.
Watch our ABC News/Yahoo News Convention Show LIVE tonight, 7-11:30 PM HERE.
By the time October's jobs report is released Nov. 2, much of the vote could have already been cast in additional swing states, such as Colorado, Florida, Wisconsin and North Carolina, where President Obama will accept his party's nomination tonight.
With polling showing Romney and Obama in a virtual dead heat, these early votes in key swing states could make a difference.

"A wonderful compendium of everything you always wanted to know about trends in women's roles—both in and out of the home. It is a balanced and data-rich assessment of how far women have come and how far they still have to go. "—Isabelle Sawhill, Urban Institute
"Based primarily on the 1990 population census, Balancing Act reports on the current situation of American women and temporal and cross-national comparisons. Meticulously and clearly presented, the information in this book highlights changing behaviors, such as the growing incidence of childbearing to older women, and unmarried women in general, and a higher ratio of women's earnings to men's. The authors' thoughtful analysis of these and other factors involved in women's fin de siècle 'balancing act' make this an indispensable reference book and valuable classroom resource." —Louise A. Tilly, Michael E. Gellert Professor of History and Sociology, The New School for Social Research
In Balancing Act, authors Daphne Spain and Suzanne Bianchi draw upon multiple census and survey sources to detail the shifting conditions under which women manage their roles as mothers, wives, and breadwinners. They chronicle the progress made in education—where female college enrollment now exceeds that of males—and the workforce, where women have entered a wider variety of occupations and are staying on the job longer, even after becoming wives and mothers. But despite progress, lower-paying service and clerical positions remain predominantly female, and although the salary gap between men and women has shrunk, women are still paid less. As women continue to establish a greater presence outside the home, many have delayed marriage and motherhood. Marked jumps in divorce and out-of-wedlock childbirth have given rise to significant numbers of female-headed households. Married women who work contribute more significantly than ever to the financial well-being of their families, yet evidence shows that they continue to perform most household chores.
Balancing Act focuses on how American women juggle the simultaneous demands of caregiving and wage earning, and compares their options to those of women in other countries. The United States is the only industrialized nation without policies to support working mothers and their families—most tellingly in the absence of subsidized childcare services. Many women are forced to work in less rewarding part-time or traditionally female jobs that allow easy exit and re-entry, and as a consequence poverty is the single greatest danger facing American women. As the authors show, the risk of poverty varies significantly by race and ethnicity, with African Americans—most of whose children live in mother-only families—the most adversely affected.
This volume contributes to the national dialogue about family policy, welfare reform, and responsibility for children by highlighting the pivotal roles women play at the intersection of family and work.Biograf�a del autor:

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that poor behaviour was the reason for Mamadou Sakho's early return to England from Liverpool's pre-season tour of the United States. The Reds are playing in the International Champions Cup and completed their first game of the tournament against Chelsea on Wednesday (27 July), which was aired in the UK on Thursday; they lost the match 1-0 courtesy of a Gary Cahill header.
The French defender is set to miss the start of the season with an Achilles injury and was receiving treatment for the injury during the tour. He returned to Anfield earlier this week with the Liverpool Echo stating that his future at the club could be in doubt after flouting club rules on a number of occasions.
The German coach, however, has down played the severity of the incident, but made it clear that any player who does not follow club rules will be disciplined, while stating that just fining the player is not his style. The manager also denied talk of an argument between the two and revealed that he will talk to the player once the Reds return from their pre-season tour.
"I have to build a group here; we have to start new here. So I thought maybe it made sense for him to fly home to Liverpool and after eight or 10 days when we come back we can talk about it. It's not that serious," Klopp said, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo.
"He nearly missed the departure of the plane, he missed a session and was late for a meal. We have some rules and we have to respect them. If somebody doesn't respect it or somebody gives me the feeling he is not respecting it then I have to react that's all," the German manager explained.
"It is private how he reacted. But we had no argument, it wasn't 'aghh, you, no...' I spoke. You cannot argue when only one person is speaking. That's all."
"I think missed a session is missed a session. Even injured players have sessions."
"Fine him? I am not interested in the money of the players. Actually not really often in my life I've had to fine anybody because I want that we learn together to do the thing that is right," he added.
"Always it is the same with every group. I don't like fining. Sometimes it's funny, when the fine is bull****."
"Come on, pay for it, that's nice. But mistakes, fining never helps. It's not because they care about money, it's always yeah in the moment it hurts but after a while not. So I want them to do the things because they want to do it, that's all."
Sakho has not played for Liverpool since the Merseyside Derby in April as he was banned for allegedly failing a drug test. He has since been cleared of the allegations with an apology from Uefa and is cleared to continue his playing career with the Reds.

Muslims across the Middle East are rushing to stock up on dates, dried fruit, pistachios and other delicacies for the holy month of Ramadan.
However, it seems some traders are cashing in by hiking prices as the demand rises.
Ramadan, when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, begins with the sighting of the first sliver of the new moon, probably on Sunday or Monday in most countries in the region.
In Egypt, the mufti said a cloud of pollution, blamed on the burning of rice chaff, would make the job of sighting the crescent moon difficult.
Average Egyptians are complaining, meanwhile, that they are having trouble paying for the food which is served at the evening iftar, or breakfast, and sohur, the last meal before dawn.
"People can no longer afford it with the price increases," said Ahmad, who sells dried fruit in the Rod al-Farag market in Cairo.
In the last four years, an economic crisis has deepened in Egypt, with the steady devaluation of the Egyptian pound against the dollar. This has boosted prices, as many foodstuffs are imported.
On 28 January, the government lifted the currency's peg to the dollar, causing the Egyptian pound to drop from 4.51 to 6.15 to the dollar.
Egyptian traders named the best
Studies by private banks said prices had risen an average of 15% since then.
But at Rod al-Farag, the main market for dates and dried fruit, vendors said prices for food eaten during Ramadan had shot up almost 50% since last year.
"Because of the price increases, I reduced my orders by two-thirds over last year," said Ahmad.
Hazlenuts soar
A kilogram (2.2 pounds) of hazelnuts doubled from 23 pounds last year to 46 pounds this year, while the same quantity of pistachios shot up from 46 pounds to 58 pounds and almonds went from 37 pounds a kg to 50 pounds, he said.
In Beirut, which is also in economic turmoil, hotel owners and merchants are hoping to do business with Arabs coming from Saudi Arabia and other wealthy Gulf states.
In Baghdad, which is marking its first Ramadan since Saddam Hussein was ousted, people are rushing to buy items that were once banned such as satellite dishes to tune into Arab channels broadcasting Egyptian Ramadan specials.
"Sales have increased 20 percent with the approach of Ramadan with about 480 dishes sold per week, from 90 to 150 dollars each," said Issar Abd Allah, a partner in the Mahrajan al-Rabi Al-Awal company in Baghdad.
Meanwhile, the US military commander of Iraq, General Ricardo Sanchez, announced the lifting of the night-time curfew in Baghdad during Ramadan.
"We are making sure our forces understand the rhythms of the people involved and the sensitivities," Sanchez added.
Police on alert
Iraqi interim Interior Minister, Nuri Badran, called on police on Thursday to remain vigilant for possible attacks during Ramadan.
Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, issued its annual warning to non-Muslim foreign residents of the kingdom that they face deportation if they eat, drink or smoke in public during Ramadan, which is marked by an upsurge in religious devotion.
Pilgrims flock to the Muslim holy sites at Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia during Ramadan, especially on the last 10 days of the month.
The holiest night falls on the 27th day of the month, which marks the revelation of the Quran, the Muslim holy book, to the Prophet Mohammad in 610 AD.

Tiga is a 21st Century techno icon thanks to the magnitude of successful singles in his discography. The Montreal producer, DJ, and singer keeps his creativity flowing by constantly looking for innovative ways to capture his audience's attention. Tiga always asks others to remix his own music, handing over his projects in search of new approaches from other creators. That in itself is humbling for any form of artist. The surplus of remixes put out prior to his latest album is part of a bigger strategy to reach more ears and it works well! Even after the release, Tiga teams up with Audion for an electro edit of "Make Me Fall in Love".
Tiga's most recent collective project comes to you as No Fantasy Required. The eleven track compilation features other artists such as Matthew Dear, making the keys production for "3 Rules", Hudson Mohawke with "Planet E", and Jake Shears from Scissor Sisters on "Make Me Fall In Love". The HudMo collaboration seems the most distinct, as the other tracks blend in smoothly with Tiga's signature style.
EARMILK's highlights are on the tracks "Always" and "Plush", both of which stick out in particular on No Fantasy Required. "Always" is produced alongside one half of Paranoid London, an acid house DJ duo who help produce the beat. The joyful lyrics refer to Chris from The Martinez Brothers upon Tiga asking, "you feeling good?" "Plush" is the oldest composed track featured on the album and the first single out. It moves over a groovy soundscape of strange rhythms that seem to flow backwards and forwards in well-tuned timing.
The success of the single "Bugatti" blew up almost immediately on release. The comedic chorus has everyone singing along wherever the track plays. A bouncing melody makes the track shine as an electronic dance record that anyone can easily enjoy. Remixes and edits following the release were almost endless, so Tiga released a Pusha T collaboration alongside 10 other remixes to coincide with the rendition.
No Fantasy Required is playful, lighthearted, and constantly shifting. There is a real absence of flow from one song to the next, which takes away from the coherent aspect of being a well-crafted album. Perhaps the amount of singles during the second half reduces an authentic listening experience. The transitioning moves from an emotional journey into an acid infused stage and ends on an uplifting mood. Yet there is a handful of in-between tracks and outliers scattered throughout the entirety that might confuse you in a strangely satisfying way. Tiga's unique method of creating fun lyrical songs that stick out in memory is special, and that's what sets this album apart from others. Overall, No Fantasy Required marks a new milestone in Tiga's career and deserves a 8/10 for a creative approach, but lacks a complete structure from start to finish.

My French teacher called me last night and said if I came back to class tomorrow and did the oral exam I could still possibly get the diploma. She was so nice about it I caved and said yes, even though I will be totally humilated and sheepish after disappearing about five weeks ago.
So now I am frantically trying to construct a story out of some pages I've been assigned from the text. These are times when you suddenly feel the urge to call up any francophones you may happen to know 😉 We've got a cliffhanger of an ending now: Est-ce que ils ont tous swingé ensemble? Personne ne le sait.

This wrap is perfect for a quick lunch or snack. It's low calorie but so delicious, I love how satisfying it is. Just take all of your favorite FLAVORS and wrap it up! Go on, sing a little song, I bet you didn't know you were such a good wrapper, did you. 😉
1 Medium Whole Wheat Tortilla
3 – 4 Slices Low Sodium Deli Turkey
3 Lettuce Leaves
1 Chopped Tomato
1/4 Cup Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Sriracha or Hot Sauce
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 Lime (Juices)
Take the tortilla and spread on the sauce. I love this sauce on everything, and it's much healthier than mayo. Next lay out the lettuce leaves on top of the sauce. Chop the tomato into a small dice and sprinkle on the wrap. Finally top with the turkey slices, add a little more sauce if you'd like. Wrap it up just like a burrito. Place the wrap in the fridge for 20-40 minutes. Once its ready, slice in half and enjoy.
So easy and so healthy, now that's a wrap! 🙂
Happy Flavoring!

The line in brief
The line, developed and integrated jointly by FICEP and Wheelabrator, skips countless individual manual work steps, reduces unnecessary storage times and eliminates a myriad of sources of error in the production process.

|Blast machine
|Wheelabrator roller conveyor shot blast machine RB 1500G
|Machine opening: 1600mm x 550mm
|Processing speed for surface grade B Sa 2.5: circa 1.4 – 1.9 m/min (plate) & 0.7 – 1.4 m/min (profile)
|Blast wheels: 4 ROTO-JET blast wheels with 11kW each
|Abrasive velocity: 80 m/s
|Saw & drill equipment:
|FICEP Endeavour 601 DDB
|Max. profile dimensions: 600mm x 310mm
|Max. workpiece length: 18m
|Two drill units with 15kW and 180 – 2500rpm each, one can be rotated to work on both sides of the workpiece, an additional traversing axis for singing and milling
|High-speed saw with 9kW, can be swivelled between -45º and +60º
|Completely automated, with magnet loading system and unloading conveyor
Bernhard Hahner, Managing Director at Hahner Stahlbau, explains: "The new line is the result of a new approach to production. We wanted to be able to do more, but also do things a lot more efficiently. That means intelligent integration left, right and centre, and just-in-time delivery. Wheelabrator and FICEP helped us develop a production line that, fundamentally, is a vast and clever transport system for steel plate, with integrated blast, drill and saw facilities."
Workpieces are simply loaded at one end of the 100m long line and then pass through various processing steps autonomously, on a labyrinth of roller conveyors. First stop is the Wheelabrator shot blast machine, which puts together its own batches, starts automatically only when needed, and engages the blast media flow with pinpoint precision. Workpieces that are only shotblasted are diverted for loading straight after the blast process.
Bernhard Hahner: "Until now, we've always had our shotblasting done externally. Integrating the blast machine tightens complex processes, shortens storage times, generally improves the quality of our outputs and reduces risks associated with handling and transport. It also allows us to offer flexible and cost-effective subcontract shotblast services here in Germany, within incredibly easy distance of our customers."
All further transport of the workpiece – to work stations or further processing equipment – is also fully automated. In principle, Hahner is not against the manual distribution workpieces, diverting them off long roller conveyors towards their destined next work step. However, in a busy production environment, it can quickly become quite taxing for the operator to keep an eye on the movements of each and every part and remembering, which part is needed at which welding station.
That's why a roller conveyor track can be automated as a CNC axis, enabling the predetermination at planning stage of end points for every piece of material. After the last process step, each piece travels to its final destination without further manual interference and can be unloaded at exactly the right point.
When it comes to workpiece logistics and various loading tasks before and between process steps, automation and clever integration can unlock considerable cost-savings at forward-thinking companies like Hahner.
While drill and saw lines have been able to process profiles automatically for some time, the loading of shorter pieces in particular has remained a manual job. This is where the magnetic loading system on a FICEP saw comes in, with straightforward automation allowing an interrupted workflow through the machine and reducing the physical strain on the operator, who previously had to lift and shift heavy cut ends.
Operators also no longer have to constantly keep an eye on every work step, to intervene correctively, smooth away obstacles or unload parts intended to skip a certain process. At Hahner, all this is now done automatically, reliably and without supervision.
Bernhard Hahner: "The new line has been designed to allow our team to go home after the day shift, while the line does another shift. This, as well as overall tighter and smarter processes, enables us to radically reduce the processing hours per tonne of steel. We can also do more (elongated holes, complex geometries, a broader range of processable part dimensions), and can run more exotic workpiece specifications swiftly and cost-efficiently."
A production line as sophisticated as this one demands high standards when it comes to the performance of the integrated blast machine. Tomas Golz, Managing Director at FICEP, comments on choosing the blast equipment: "The whole project at Hahner revolved around investing in solid, flexible and sustainably economical foundations. The Wheelabrator equipment ticks all these boxes. It combines state-of-the-art blast technology and uniquely low running costs, can be automated flexibly and is incredibly sturdy. The result: only strong links in the chain."
