It's hard enough to land a line in a TV commercial, let alone snag a starring role in a feature film. Or bag a record contract. Or a chunky book advance. Or a snazzy endorsement deal.
But achieving all of the above, with some philanthropy on the side? Now that's serious entrepreneurship--and it's all in a day's work for a rarefied clique of teenage celebrity entrepreneurs who have star power to spare.
These preternatural brand builders have dabbled in multiple entertainment genres, bagged endorsements, raised money for charity and even sold their personal stories to the tabloids. Their secret? They "really want it, have the talent and have the right machine behind them," says Fred Goldring, a Beverly Hills, Calif.-based entertainment lawyer.
In Pictures: Meet 14 Teen Celebrity Entrepreneurs
In Pictures: 12 Supermodels Turned Moguls
For many young celebrities, that machine is
Cyrus made her feature film debut in the 2008 animated Disney film Bolt, then reprised her role of Hannah Montana in the 2009 film Hannah Montana: The Movie, which has grossed more than $75 million worldwide. Her two solo albums, Meet Miley Cyrus and Breakout, have sold a combined 4 million copies. At the tender age of 16, Cyrus penned her autobiography, Miles To Go, which hit shelves in March and has sold 86,000 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan.
Triple- and quadruple-threat celebrities tend to hit their stride by tackling two entertainment staples: TV and music. (Fox's American Idol offers that one-two punch in one place.) While it's hard for adult celebrities to transition from acting to music, the teen audience is more accepting of multi-talented stars. "Teenage fans, particularly girls, have veracious appetites for knowing everything about stars' lives," says Goldring. "So when teen actors go into music and fashion, their fans follow because they already love them."
David Archuleta, 18, knows the drill. He got his big break in 2008 on season seven of American Idol, where he won second place with more than 40 million votes. He signed with Jive Records that June and came out with his first, self-titled album which has sold more than 500,000 copies. Since then, Archuleta has made guest appearances on Nickelodeon's iCarly and Disney's Hannah Montana, and he is scheduled to go on tour with fellow teen celeb Demi Lovato this summer. Archuleta is also making a name for himself as a philanthropist working with DoSomething.org to encourage teenagers to assist in disaster relief programs. (For more on creative giving strategies, see "Give Like An Entrepreneur.")
Hayden Panettiere, 19, has been a working entertainer since her diaper days as a model in PlaySkool advertisements. As a child, she took small roles in Disney's Remember The Titans and on the soap operas Guiding Light and One Life To Live, and later landed guest spots on Ally McBeal, Malcolm in the Middle and Law & Order SVU. She nabbed her most famous role, Claire Bennet on NBC's Heroes, at age 17 and has since become a regular at sci-fi conventions like GenCon and New York Comic-Con. She's also been in more than a dozen feature films including Bring It On: All Or Nothing and starred alongside Kate Hudson in Raising Helen.
If that weren't enough, Panettiere also lent her voice to the animated character Dot in the Pixar film A Bug's Life and Kairi in the Kingdom Hearts videogame series for PlayStation 2. Not that she's forgotten her modeling roots: Her face has appeared in Neutrogena, Got Milk? and Candies ads. Oh, yeah, and she traveled to Japan in 2008 to protest whale hunting.
For the Jonas Brothers--Kevin (21), Joe (19) and Nick (16)--celebrity entrepreneurship is a family affair. Nick was the first to dive into entertainment at the age of 6 by starring in the Broadway play "A Christmas Carol," which led to other Broadway roles; later, in 2004, he recorded a Christmas song and signed on with INO Records, a division of Columbia Records.
His big brothers got involved writing his debut album, and soon the Jonas Brothers were a trio act. In 2007 they landed a guest spot on (surprise) Disney's Hannah Montana. Recently, they released their first feature film called Jonas Brothers--The 3-D Concert Experience, and now are filming a Disney Channel series, called JONAS, loosely based on their lives. Their first book (yes, these boys have one of those too), called Burning Up: On Tour With the Jonas Brothers, has sold 170,000 copies.
All that fame and money notwithstanding, the kids also know how to give back: They recently donated $1.2 million to their Change for the Children Foundation--which they started and fund--to support Diabetes research, children's hospitals and performing arts summer programs.
Not all teen celebrity entrepreneurs start in entertainment. Shawn Johnson, 17, rose to fame as an Olympic gymnast in the 2008 Beijing Games. The world watched as Johnson won the gold medal for balance beam and the silver medals for all-around gymnastics and floor exercises.
Soon enough Johnson landed a slew of endorsement gigs for
To cap it off, Johnson became the youngest competitor ever on the eighth season of ABC's TV series Dancing With the Stars. She won.

it calls out, this dancing
m, this is for you. and it's for me. it's for anyone and everyone. bill t. jones, I celebrate you. because you believe that all body types belong on stage and that amazing movers come in all shapes, all sizes. because you once said that 'modern dance was nobody's sleeping beauty' (amen and hallelujah to that). because when you conducted a master class with fifty nervous young dancers, you still took the time to come around and personally introduce yourself to each one of us, warmly shake each hand. because during that ridiculously nerve-wracking ninety minute class where everyone seemed to be watching everyone else, you had us whispering desires and screaming our names, you had us flying effortlessly through thick summer air. because you created a book about modern dance for children that I am proud to read to my daughter, my son. because you make breathtaking work, work that is indeed tender, brave, sexy, outrageous and seductive. because watching you perform, watching your company onstage can only be defined as exhilarating. because you make me feel like singing, like shaking, like jumping, like grinning, like crying, like dancing.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blend Red
Today the wines of Châteauneuf du Pape, approximately 95% of which are red, are the most highly-regarded and sought after wines in all of the Southern Rhône. The many different styles of red Châteauneuf du Pape are due to the blend of different grape varieties (the Châteauneuf du Pape red blend) which may be used to produce this famous wine as much as to the range of terroirs within the appellation. Typical flavours and perfumes include a range of red and black fruits, pepper, spice, the wild herbs of the garrigue such as thyme and rosemary and, for some expensive cuvées at least, the flavour of vanilla from the new oak barriques in which the wine undergoes a period of maturation. In general they are medium-bodied to big wines, matured in the much larger old oak foudres, and with a generous dose of alcohol. They partner well with a wide range of red meat and game dishes as well as soft cheeses such as Brillat Savarin, Epoisses de Bourgogne and Pont L'Evêque.
Perhaps more than any other wine producing area of France it has experienced marked fluctuations of fortune in its long history. Although vines were first thought to have been planted by the Romans the wine-producing area made its early reputation when the Papacy was established here between 1309 - 1378. The church established new vineyards and the resulting wine enjoyed a good reputation and Papal approval. The Papacy's move back to Rome saw a comparative downturn in fortunes although wine was still important to the economy locally. Following the disaster of phylloxera which affected the area in 1866 killing off the majority of the vines the wine sold for such a low price that few growers could afford to replant their vineyards. By the 1880s a mere 200 hectares was under vine compared with today's 3,200 hectares. This increase was achieved slowly and two personalities can be regarded as being of crucial importance in Châteauneuf du Pape's recrudescence.
The first of these was Baron le Roy, the wealthy owner of several leading estates in the area such as Ch. Fortia, Ch. Rayas and Ch. La Nerthe who was a leading instigator in drawing up the boundaries and the regulations under which the wines of Châteauneuf du Pape were made in 1923. This appellation was the first in France to be recognised in 1936 as an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée or a wine with a controlled designation of origin. The template had been created which would shape the fortunes of the French wine industry for many decades to come. These measures laid down a minimum standard which underpinned a resurgence of the area's fortunes. The second huge boost came courtesy of the world's most widely read and revered wine critic Robert Parker. It was his championing of the wines of the Rhône Valley, and Châteauneuf du Pape in particular, that gave an enormous impetus to the area during the latter part of the 20th. century. Good reviews led to increased demand, this in turn led to higher prices and much of the increased wealth of the growers and producers was re-invested in both vineyard and winery leading to the creation of even better wines.
The stereotypical image of a vineyard in Châteauneuf du Pape consists of land littered with the galets or large, flat, round stones which reflect light back to the grapes and which also absorb heat during the day radiating it back to the vines at night thus aiding the ripening process. In reality there is a multiplicity of terroirs in the appellation. Soils in the west are rocky and include some limestone outcrops. The galets as well as stones and pebbles of all shapes and sizes help to produce ripe grapes with good concentration and intensity. To the north near the town of Orange the soils are sandier and contain clays, pebbles, limestone and marls but with fewer of the larger stones and rocks. Wine made from grapes grown here are more elegant and supple, the higher the proportion of clays the richer the wines. To the south lies an area of shallow sand and clay soil sitting on a well-drained layer of gravel. Within these areas there is also some soil variation. Many producers produce wines by blending different grapes harvested from diverse plots across the region while some others are beginning to make wines that reflect a particular terroir.
Grapes Used in Châteauneuf du Pape Red Blend
When the regulations were drawn up governing the new Apellation d'Origine Contrôlée system in Châteauneuf du pape a total of 13 grape varieties was permitted for the red blend including some white varieties. These were Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and local grape Counoise together with smaller proportions of Vaccarè'se, Muscardin, Picpoul (Noir), Terret Noir, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Rousanne and Picardan. Today another 5 varieties have been added to the list, viz. Grenache Blanc, Grenache Rosé, Picpoul Blanc, Picpoul Rosé and, finally, Clairette Rosé. These grape varieties coupled with the range of terroirs and the fact that many growers and producers own scattered plots forms a rich and broad palette from which the blended wine can be made. Some wines are made from 100% Grenache Noir harvested from one vineyard, others are the result of a blend of both grapes and plots - hence the wide variation in style of these wines. Although some of the best wines can last for a few decades almost all Châteauneuf du Pape reds make good drinking upon their release. Organic farming is increasingly popular, the long, warm, dry summers make this much more realistic than in more marginal areas further north. Below is a summary of the qualities of the most important grape varieties that make the blend.
Grenache Noir
Grenache Noir au Jus Blanc, to give it its full name, is the most widely planted grape in the whole of the southern Rhône. It ripens well here with high sugar levels translating into wines with high alcohol content. Its wines are sweet from the grapes' ripeness although they can lack the depth of, for example, Syrah. In 2014 72% of the vineyards here were planted with Grenache Noir. With its thin skins it is ideally suited to the area which is usually very warm and dry during the growing season. Typical flavours include red and black cherry, blackberry, white pepper and licorice with a smooth, somewhat oily, texture. There are many old Grenache vines growing here some of which are more than 100 years old.
Although Syrah has long been a recognised part of the Châteauneuf blend its vines only make up about 3% of the total plantings. In the 1980s and 1990s Syrah experienced a surge in popularity and plantings increased enormously across France with those in Châteauneuf increasing to more than 10% of the total. Syrah, a small, thick-skinned grape, does have a broader, more complex, flavour profile than Grenache though with blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, plum, spice, earthy notes, chocolate, licorice, pepper, truffle and floral notes. It also adds fine tannins to the blend. The southern Rhône, however, is not Syrah's natural home and although it is used to add structure, body, back-bone and depth of colour it has lost some popularity with growers.
The Mourvèdre grape is now the second most widely planted in this appellation, at about 7% of the total, having overtaken Syrah. Its natural home is in Spain and it is well-suited to long, very warm, even hot, dry summers. Its thick skins help to protect it from both disease and the heat and the ripe grapes add a good level of alcohol, depth and tannic structure to the blend. It has flavours of blackcurrant and blackberry in youth but at four to five years old it develops greater complexity with leather, truffle, game, spice and sweet jammy dark fruits. One top cuvée, Hommage a Jacques Perrin from the Château Beaucastel, uses up to 60% Mourvèdre in the blend and some cuvèes can be made from as much as 100% Mourvèdre.
Cinsault thrives in the baked landscape of the southern Rhône Valley. It easily withstands the winds of the mistral and is an early ripening variety with high yields but low in tannin and acidity. In Châteauneuf du Pape it provides under 3% of the total harvest although it is grown much more widely outside the appellation being a major component of many rosé wines. It offers ripe strawberry fruit with floral notes.
Other Châteauneuf du Pape Red Blend Grapes
The four grape varieties above comprise a little over 84% of vine plantings in Châteauneuf du Pape with the remaining 16% being divided between 14 more grapes - including white and rosé varieties. These are:
Black Grapes: Counoise, Vaccarè'se, Muscardin, Picpoul Noir, Terret Noir.
White Grapes: Clairette, Bourboulenc, Rousanne, Picardin, Picpoul Blanc, Grenache Blanc.
Rosé Grapes: Grenache Rosé, Picpoul Rosé, Clairette Rosé.

General Secretary of the ACT Alliance Visits IOCC
April 9, 2010
Baltimore, Md. (IOCC) - John Nduna, the General Secretary of the ACT Alliance, was received by International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) Executive Director Constantine Triantafilou at the IOCC headquarters in Baltimore, Md. on April 8. IOCC joined the new ACT Alliance, one of the world's largest humanitarian bodies, which officially launched on March 24.
"I express my great satisfaction with IOCC's commitment to the new ACT Alliance and the fruitful discussions we have with IOCC that strengthen the cooperation between IOCC and the Alliance," said Nduna during the visit. "As an Orthodox member of the Alliance, IOCC's contributions and participation is crucial. The participation and input of IOCC's Executive Director in ACT's finance committee has been crucial as it looked into financial accountability and fiscal responsibility of the ACT secretariat."
Nduna recently returned from Haiti where IOCC and other partners in the ACT Alliance are providing assistance to the survivors of the January 12 earthquake.
With more than 100 members globally, the ACT Alliance works in 125 countries with a combined operating budget of approximately $1.5 billion.

In my years as a bike racer, I received a lot of advice about training. I ignored almost all of it. I console myself with the knowledge that I must have ignored just as much bad advice as good advice, so I must have more or less broken even by the end.
The one bit of advice I followed was to start every ride with one question: "Why am I doing this?" On a cold, drizzly January ride it was often a question I asked anyway, usually about every 30 seconds. After all, the worst bike ride is better than the best day at work, but it might still face stiff competition from a day spent watching old movies and drinking Belgian beer.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
But the "Why?" question matters. If you haven't got a good answer, you should probably forget about training until you've thought of one. It can't just be, "Because I'll have fun."
>>> Dr Hutch: The chaos and carnage of reliability trials
We cyclists have higher purposes than that — we're seeking self-improvement, overcoming through suffering, and that sort of noble stuff. We're not just out there enjoying ourselves — if that was all it was, how could we justify the time, expense and family aggravation?
One acceptable answer to "Why?" might be, "It will improve my VO2max, by hitting efforts above second LTP power and recovering at FTP power minus 20 watts so that my blood lactate doesn't drop below 4mmol/l."
I say "might be" an acceptable answer, because of course no normal person has a clue what any of that means.
A more straightforward answer would be, "Because 50 miles at a good steady pace will improve my base fitness, and knock off at least some of the calories from last night's pizza." Or, "I'm going to do some sprint efforts because I really suck at sprinting, I only have 40 minutes spare, and I'm feeling really, really angry right now."
I'd even be prepared to accept, "Because my coach told me to." Part of the reason for having a coach is to outsource your thinking. As long as you know that somewhere out there has a good reason, you don't need to actually know what it is.
None of this is very complicated. But rather too often the best I could manage was something like, "Because I wrote this session in a training plan two months ago, and despite being so tired I that I couldn't get out of bed till midday, as God is my witness, I'll finish it." Or, "Dunno, really. I've got an hour till it's dinner and I've got to do something."
In either case, I'd have been better not bothering, and returning to the fray the following day, or the one after, refreshed and able to put in some quality training.
You can usefully take things a step further, and ask a second "Why?" Why is it actually so important to you to, for example, increase your VO2max?
>>> Dr Hutch: How exactly do you know whether you are under- or over-training?
"Because I'd like to win the club '10' champs." Or even, "So I can nab Bernard's solitary Strava KoM off him." Your motivation has to come from somewhere.
But I caution you, two "whys" along this road is sufficient. Never ask yourself the third one, about why you want to achieve whatever it is you're dreaming of.
The answer will always boil down to, "Because my life is empty of meaning, and I want to give myself some sense of purpose by pursuing a hollow achievement that I only want because others want it too and if I can get to it first it will make me feel better and them feel worse."
To be fair, that's more or less the human condition. But you don't want to spell it out to yourself. It takes all the fun right out of a ride.

A lovesick Brooklyn man was detained for stalking former first daughter Malia Obama in Washington, DC, and the Big Apple in an attempt to get her to marry him, sources said Wednesday.
Jair Nilton Cardoso, 30, allegedly harassed the ex-president's elder daughter on at least two different occasions last week, according to police sources.
He even went so far as to sneak into the building where she works in Tribeca to put a sign in one of the office windows saying, "I want to marry you."
On April 12, the dreadlocked creep was caught following Malia out of a building in the West Village, the sources said.
The 18-year-old's Secret Service detail stopped Cardoso and realized that he had also been busted barging into the White House several times in the past and urged to stay away.
Sources said the agents had told him to stop shadowing her two days earlier, after the window incident, but he refused and apparently kept it up.
On April 13, Secret Service agents tracked down Cardoso, who also went by the name John Charlie, and confronted him at his home in Brooklyn.
According to sources, the lovelorn stalker answered the door and was promptly detained and interviewed.
Photos captured at the scene showed Cardoso with a Rastafarian-style cap, black sunglasses and a long white cane — which appeared to be a walking stick for the blind.
After answering the agents' questions, he was deemed emotionally unstable and was taken to Kings County Hospital for a psych evaluation.
Since Malia was not harmed nor put in danger or threatened by Cardoso, sources said cops chose to not throw him behind bars.
In addition, he has no prior arrests in New York.
Obama's daughter has been interning for film producer Harvey Weinstein for the past several months. She has been living in the city since January.
The Secret Service is in the process of obtaining an order of protection against Cardoso, which would ban him from setting foot on any Weinstein properties, sources said.

Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office
SAN JOSE — A weeklong manhunt that riveted the Bay Area concluded late Wednesday with two inmates who broke out of Santa Clara County back in custody following a week on the lam.
Capping an intense two-day crescendo featuring multiple raids on homes, a motel and a recreational vehicle where the inmates were thought to have been hiding, San Jose resident Rogelio Chavez was nabbed Wednesday in South San Jose following an 8-hour standoff. As police lobbed tear gas into the home he occupied, Chavez apparently celebrated his last hours of freedom with a drug binge.
His capture came a day after Palo Alto resident LaRon Campbell was arrested in Antioch. On Nov. 23, the inmates sawed through the steel bars of their second-floor window in the south wing of the Main Jail on West Hedding Street, then rappelled down on a makeshift rope formed from bed sheets and clothing.
"We really owe the deputies here a debt of gratitude for everything that they've done," Sheriff Laurie Smith said at a news conference late Wednesday outside the window where the inmates escaped. "We have these two dangerous inmates back in custody."
On Wednesday afternoon, sheriff's deputies and tactical officers surrounded a South San Jose residence near Judith Street and Coy Drive, west of Oak Grove High School, as part of their hunt for Chavez. Authorities said an associate of Chavez was linked to the home.

— Karl Mondon (@karlmondon) November 30, 2016
Sheriff's deputies issued commands for people inside to come out and later deployed gas inside the residence. Around 8:30 p.m., deputies led Chavez out of the home in handcuffs.
Chavez spent part of the standoff holed up in the attic of the home, though he was ultimately arrested without incident in a room, authorities said. He appeared to be under the influence, said Smith, adding that he was found in possession of crack cocaine and marijuana. Chavez was taken to a hospital for medical attention before being transported to jail.
Karla Fernandez, a resident of the home and a friend of Chavez, also was arrested. She was booked for resisting arrest, obstructing an investigation, being a felon in possession of a firearm and being an accessory to Chavez's escape, Smith said.
"The investigation is ongoing and there may be additional arrests in the future of people who had harbored Chavez," Smith said.
Campbell's run from the law reportedly ended with him crashing down through the ceiling of his sister's Antioch home Tuesday night, literally in front of arriving officers.
The scene, reminiscent of a campy TV cop-show plot, ended with Campbell's arrest, and also the arrest of his sister, 24-year-old Marcaysha Alexander, who authorities booked on suspicion of harboring a fugitive.
Ken Augustino, 52, lives next to the residence where Wednesday's standoff took place. He was working at home when he noticed sheriff's deputies armed with rifles descend on the neighborhood. Authorities advised him to leave his home around 3:30 p.m. because they were planning to use tear gas.
Augustino said he was surprised Chavez had managed to elude authorities for a week.
"I don't understand how he's ever going to escape notice," said Augustino, referring to Chavez's facial tattoo.
Campbell's capture was fueled in large part by public tips received Monday after a $20,000 reward offer by Smith. Sheriff's investigators, the U.S. Marshals Service and Antioch police tracked Campbell to his sister's home in the 1000 block of James Donlon Boulevard.
"After several hours of constant surveillance, the marshals were able to see that Campbell was indeed at the residence," Undersheriff Carl Neusel said at a Wednesday news conference.
Around 10 p.m. Tuesday, authorities served an arrest warrant at the home, and Campbell tried to elude them for a few more moments before he was arrested.
"Upon entering the residence, they determined that Campbell was hiding in the attic, and Campbell then crashed through the ceiling onto the floor," Neusel said with deadpan delivery, "where the Marshals Service and Antioch police took him into custody without further incident."
Neusel added: "There are few things more satisfying than taking desperate, violent people into custody so they can face justice."
A source familiar with the investigation told this newspaper that Campbell has been placed in the Main Jail's psychiatric wing after he was taken back to Santa Clara County and evaluated.
Neusel lauded the public tips the Sheriff's Office received in the wake of the escape.
"Our investigation has benefited greatly from the steady public tips we have received," he said. "This investigation has been an all-hands-on-deck effort."

Investigators said surveillance video shows Chavez was at the Days Inn on Leavesley Road in Gilroy as recently as Sunday when deputies swarmed the motel but missed him.
One of three people detained at the motel, 35-year-old Emily Vaca, was arrested on allegations she helped Chavez elude capture by driving him around. Vaca was arraigned Wednesday in a Morgan Hill courtroom on a charge of being an accessory to a crime.
Chavez was booked in August on charges including burglary, extortion, false imprisonment, resisting arrest and firearms violations. Campbell had been in custody since February 2015 on charges that include robbery, false imprisonment, criminal threats and firearms violations.
What Campbell and Chavez used to cut through the bars, and how they got it, remains under investigation. Neusel said Sheriff's officials' examination of the escape so far has not revealed any obvious policy violations but that they are reviewing practices with the aim of making "the corrections as necessary in order to address and make sure this doesn't happen again."
There had not been a breakout escape from the Main Jail in about 15 years, according to the Sheriff's Office. The last time the agency pursued an escaped jail inmate was in March 2015, when Johnell Lee Carter, a child-molestation suspect from Campbell in the medium-security Elmwood jail complex, overpowered a deputy while being escorted to a medical appointment. He was at large for about a month before he was found with relatives in Mississippi.
The county jails have been under heavy scrutiny since the August 2015 beating death of mentally ill inmate Michael Tyree in the Main Jail, allegedly at the hands of three correctional deputies who are currently being tried for murder. Both the Sheriff's Office and a civilian reform commission have pushed for significant reforms in how the jails are operated.
Neusel alluded to those reforms Wednesday and reiterated a point made by other officials that the Main Jail South wing where the escape occurred is woefully out of date, constructed in the 1950s, and slated to be rebuilt. In the meantime, officials have pledged to add surveillance cameras and step up in-cell checks and monitoring of the bars and windows securing the jail wing.
Anyone with information about the case can contact the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office at 408-808-4500 or its anonymous tip line at 408-808-4431.
Staff writer Mark Gomez contributed to this report.
NOTE: This story has been corrected to reflect that the last inmate escape before this past week was about 15 years ago, not 25.

When EYE-Q reached out to Archer & Hound, their website was not organized, their services had little structure, and we recognized the potential for a more well-informed visitor and enhanced patient experience.
When it comes to building a large, complicated healthcare website, there are fundamentals you have to get right. If a website's foundation is flawed, everything you build on top of it won't work correctly—and EYE-Q needs their patients to have a positive experience from the moment they research them online to when they come in and experience the professional, high-quality doctors, staff and facilities first-hand.
In creating a clean and simple design, EYE-Q's websites became easier to use and can now reflect the organization's comfortable and welcoming environment. On the site, visitors will find videos explaining procedures as well as blog posts that bring in the community element on which EYE-Q prides itself.
The websites we created for EYE-Q's essential are user-friendly, organized and unified. We tackled a site-within-a-site for its essential sub-brands and made it all work responsively, from desktops down to mobile, with features including:

The airline industry has certainly come a long way over the years – good work, guys! – but how come the food on planes sucks as much as ever? It's not like your options at the airport are much better, either, and trying to get anything edible through security is a game of chance, when the rules are as clear as mud pie.
This begs the question: What are you supposed to eat when you have a 16-hour flight to Thailand with a stop in Dubai ahead of you? Maybe you're savvy enough to enjoy the comforts of a VIP lounge, but you still need enough fuel to make it this far. So let's take a look at some simple, delicious recipes you can pack away in your hand luggage.
Quick bites for shorter flights
Depending on the length of your flight you could need anything from a small snack to full-blown lunchbox.
For an energy boost…
Forget the bag of nuts from those overpriced shops after security; chuck your own trail mix in a bag and keep it in your hand luggage. This is a nutrient-rich energy boost that takes a matter of seconds to put together – and trail mix doesn't have to be dull if you get creative with your ingredients.
Alternative: chop up your favourite veg, pack a few wholemeal crackers and squeeze some humus into a 3.4oz (100ml) container – done!
For that fuller feeling…
Comfort food doesn't have to be unhealthy, but you want something hearty and the ultimate filler for short flights is the humble sandwich. Pretty much everything tastes good between two slices of bread and you can make yours as modest or mean as you like. In fact, there's nothing humble about half the brutes in this list of sandwich ideas. Just remember to wrap your creation in a clear sandwich bag – then another sealable plastic bag – and don't go anywhere near that roll of kitchen foil
Alternative: As there aren't many cold comfort foods to choose from, your best alternative would be a snazzy pasta or potato salad.
Long-haul flights
Long-haul flights are a different animal altogether and you need a much larger survival pack for this trip. Forget choosing between energy and comfort for long distances – pack both!
For an energy boost…
Okay, so let's start things of with an energising lunchbox. Check out this epic veggie nori rolls recipe – a clash of crunchy and creamy textures rolled into a raw, vegan energy boost. They're packed with all the plant-based protein you need to keep going and they're surprisingly filling too. And if that's not enough for you, chuck in some of that trail mix we talked about earlier or go for your favourite fruit and a handful of nuts.
Alternative: If vegan recipes just don't cut it for you then try your hands at some Korean kimbap instead – think sushi rolls, but with beef!
For that fuller feeling…
Nori rolls will keep you going for a while, but no amount of vegetables will get you through this flight – so it's time to break out the comfort food! Once again your challenge is to make something that really hits the spot, which you can keep in your hand luggage and eat later. This only really leaves one option: the food that tastes just as good hot or cold – pizza! We're not talking about last night's takeaway leftovers either, because these homemade pizza recipes are the ultimate taste of quick and easy comfort food for later.
Alternative: Asia offers up a more exotic option with a number of cold sesame noodle dishes from across the continent.
Stay updated on security rules
Though it can be difficult to keep up with regularly-changing airport security regulations, it pays to try and follow them—not only because you want to get through the queue faster, but also because you want to ensure that your delicious snacks aren't going to end up tossed in the bin before you even get to your gate. If you want to be super careful, you can simply avoid the liquid foods and keep your sauces to a minimum.
How do you keep fuelled and fed when you've got flights to contend with? We always want your tips and tricks, so please leave them in the comments. Bon appetit!

Alumni Profile: Seth Gold
University alum Seth Gold prides himself on his work ethic. He's a fourth-generation pawnbroker and star of truTV network's reality show, Hardcore Pawn.
Seth has a lot to show for his hard work: Hardcore Pawn amassed more than two million views for its season premiere, breaking the standing record.
Gold became involved in his family business after graduating from the University in 2003. Originally on the pre-medicine track, he altered his path after graduation to become his father's business partner at American Jewelry and Loan.
With 10 years of experience, there's not much that Gold hasn't seen at the business, which is located on Greenfield Road in Detroit.
At the shop, customers bring in merchandise either to sell or to pawn, which means they obtain a cash loan in exchange for the merchandise as collateral. However, as simple as this process may seem, transactions become heated when customers don't think they are getting a good deal.
On the show, customers are notorious for their arguments and negotiations. The most ridiculous experience, Gold said, was when a guy tried to pawn a glass eye.
"I popped it out of his head," Gold said.
Since Gold has always been a self-proclaimed "Michigan guy," Wolverine memorabilia frequently appears on the show. In the first season a Michigan helmet sat behind him in his office, and Gold still goes to games at the Big House.
Gold said he doesn't have time for many hobbies. He once tweeted, "Trying this sleep thing. Let's see how it goes."

The weather likely won't stop the 20th running of the Copper Basin 300 Sled Dog race. The season's first big mid-distance event is scheduled to get underway tomorrow at Lake Louise. Temperatures along the race trail have been as cold as 50 below zero. Organizers met last night to talk about contingencies if things don't warm up, and race board president Marty Karjala says one way or the other, the race will be run.

Xbox 360 users can look forward to better controls, app integration, and cloud saves beginning early next month.
Microsoft has announced that its newly retooled Xbox dashboard will be coming out of beta for public release on December 6th. The console's upgraded interface has been completely redesigned to match the company's "Metro" style, bringing Xbox Live one step closer to looking and operating like Microsoft's mobile and PC operating systems.
Aside from the new look, your 360 is also set to offer new software and services. New dashboard "apps" (because everything must now have "apps") will be introduced, including Bravo, HBO GO, Manga Entertainment, Syfy and more. Not all of the announced content services will be available on December 6th, however, but according to Director of Programming Major Nelson, more apps will be released "on an ongoing basis through the holiday months."
In order to browse the service's new apps, the redesigned dashboard will feature improved integration for the Kinect, including swipe and gesture based navigation as well as sharpened voice control. Using naught but the power of your spoken words, you'll be able to govern your machine nearly hands free (until you get to the actual gaming part, I suppose), including the ability to use a new Bing! search feature available for all who own the accessory. If you still haven't picked up the peripheral, don't worry, you'll be able to flip through apps and channels with your standard controller button-style.
As far as new features are concerned, Xbox Live Gold members will now have the free option of "cloud storage" for their game saves and profile, meaning all of that data will be backed up on Microsoft's remote server for easy access from any Xbox connected to the internet. With your profile and achievements on the cloud, the dashboard will also offer something being called "beacons," which will allow players to "like" games on Facebook and share achievements with the world.
It's hard to say whether this major design change will end up delighting or infuriating the XBL community, but at least there won't be much of a wait to find out. Based on Major Nelson's description, it seems like there's not much to be worried about anyway; all of the changes seem focused on ease of use and convenience, after all. The only thing I find questionable is this new "beacon" business. Personally, I can think of nothing better than attracting thousands of new friends by setting up my Xbox to automatically post every achievement I earn to my wall. Popularity, here I come!

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I have written on numerous occasions about my advocacy of iCalendar as the means by which, I believe, time-related information should be disseminated. (Unfortunately I'm not too good at articulating why but thankfully I don't need to be because Dilbert creator Scott Adams has done a fine job of that in his blog post Calendar as filter). To that end I tried to start an initiative earlier this year where folks hosting SQL Server webinars around the world could make information about their webinars available in an iCalendar feed and I would then use an aggregation service (called ElmCity) to produce a single feed containing all that information so that the likes of you and I could subscribe to it and see those webinars turn up in our smartphone/Outlook calendars. Unfortunately I couldn't round up enough willing volunteers (thank you to the one person that did contribute) so it didn't get very far.
I was, therefore, pleased to see that John Sansom (blog | twitter) has begun a similar initiative for aggregating information about SQL Server user group events in the UK; the difference being that John is maintaining the calendar himself and inviting others to contribute rather than using an aggregation service like I was trying to do. John has made the calendar available for subscription at https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/gnbu8hpgv4f1gpnueo8lif06mo%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics which you can subscribe to using Outlook, Hotmail Calendar, Google Calendar etc... If you use one of those online services (like Hotmail Calendar or Google Calendar) and you have that account synced to your smartphone then it should automatically turn up there too.
If you want to learn more go and check out John's blog post on the subject at SQL Server Events.
Great job on setting this up John!

Just Say NO To Old Age: Professor X isn't the only one with incredible mental powers: recent research says that you might be even better at brain-boosting, helping heal yourself with the power of a positive attitude – while he can't even summon up the mental energy to stand.
The power of positive thinking might make us sound infinity percent more likely to wear hemp and say "man" an inappropriate number of times for science reporters (i.e. ever), but it's real research at Harvard. Professor Ellen Langer has conducted several studies into "mindfulness theory", researching just how much your attitude affects your actual body. The answer: quite a bit.
One of Benjamin Button's many stories-within-stories in F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, involves the tale of a clock built for the New Orleans train station that is designed to run backwards, in the hope that it will resurrect the First World War dead.
With a similar result in mind, in one experiment Langer shut several septuagenarians in a hotel that had been redecorated in mid-eighties style, eliminating all evidence of the last two decades. Subjects were instructed to act as if they'd really gone all Doctor Who, and after only seven days they were faster, stronger, better than before. Stronger for seventy-year olds, anyway, and certainly stronger than a control group who didn't get this amateur time-travel and were basically left to think about how damn old they were.

"Ready or not, Apple's new MacBook is cutting the computing industry's cables," Stephen Shankland reports for CNET.
"The slim laptop has just a single USB port, the new tiny Type-C variety that's slowly popping up in devices this year," Shankland reports. "It's a multipurpose port that connects to external devices like hard drives, runs video to TVs and external monitors, and supplies the laptop with power when it's charging time."
"The new USB port is remarkably flexible, but it's still just one port. For those who need to attach printers, Ethernet cables, external hard drives, cameras, monitors, keyboards, mice, TVs, game controllers and tablets, that might seem confining," Shankland reports. "You'd better get used to it, because the new MacBook hints at the direction the industry is headed as it relies increasingly on wireless technology."
"The awkward transition highlights the privilege and pain that comes with being an Apple customer. It also underscores the unique position Apple enjoys, one where it can make drastic changes to transform the computing industry because, well, it can get away with it," Shankland reports. "'They're as usual ahead of the curve,' Endpoint Technologies analyst Roger Kay said of the pared-down ports and pumped-up wireless abilities on Apple's latest laptop."
"'Yes, many will complain, but that's the cost of progress,' said IDC analyst Tom Mainelli," Shankland reports. "From a business perspective, Apple's willingness to push for that progress ultimately wins out — at the expense of rivals."

MacDailyNews Take: We are Mac users and Mac users embrace change.
Apple leads. The rest of the world follows, as usual.
Now, we would love to see a tiny MagSafe adapter cap (or very short corded adapter) that sticks into the USB-C port for MagSafe power cords. That way we don't have to regress in the name of progress.

What: A new video on millennial movies choosing to forgo the "Chosen One" narrative.
Who: Comic book video game-focused YouTuber Panels to Pixels.
Why we care: Most children of the '80s are well familiar with "Chosen One" narratives. They grew up swinging lightsabers in an echo of Luke Skywalker and went on to witness Neo learn he's the long-prophesied One. (If they hadn't already figured that last one out by doing a word jumble with his name.) Movies like Star Wars and The Matrix made manifest the sneaking suspicion among young people that they were indeed special–or at least let them live that dream vicariously. The next generation similarly grew up expecting a letter from Hogwarts every day. Perhaps they learned a lesson when that letter never came, though.
[WARNING: spoilers ahead.]
Looking at recent films like Star Wars: The Last Jedi, The Lego Movie, and Blade Runner 2049, Panels to Pixels sees a fascinating trend. The traditional narrative of the Chosen One is being subverted in favor of films where ordinary folks turn out to not be cosmically special and rise to a challenge anyway. In the video, the host ties this developing trend to filmmakers being more tuned into millennial mindset–their actual way of thinking beyond stereotypes of safe spaces and avocado toast. Millennials are the largest generation in history and because of the after-effects of the recent recession, among other factors, many of them are under-employed. They are disillusioned but hopeful–and they require a different balm for the soul than being assured they had the magic in them all along.
Watch the full video below for further convincing about how this trend might appeal to its target demographic.

African forest elephants are being poached out of existence. A study just published in the online journal PLOS ONE and supported in part by San Diego Zoo Global shows that a staggering 62% of all forest elephants have been killed across their range in central Africa, for their ivory over the past decade. The severe decline indicates what researchers fear is the eminent extinction of this species.

The first miner to find the solution to the puzzle is able to authorize the transaction (to add bitcoin to the block). Each winner in the Bitcoin-mining lottery receives a reward (a certain amount of bitcoin). The reward includes all of the transaction fees for the transactions in that block, which motivates miners to collect as many transactions into a block as possible to increase their reward.
Reviewing Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Mining
There are no physical "coins" in bitcoin, only balances kept on a public ledger in the cloud, that—along with all bitcoin transactions—is verified by a massive amount of computing power. Bitcoin is backed by millions of ASICs around the world called "miners." By mining bitcoin, you can earn cryptocurrency without having to put down money for it. It is also the only way to release new bitcoin into circulation.

COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BSI Financial Services has selected IndiSoft, a provider of technology solutions for the financial services industry, to provide vendor management functionality through its Sunesis platform.
BSI Financial Services, a provider of technology, loan subservicing and outsourcing services to banks and institutional investors in the residential mortgage industry, selected Indisoft's Sunesis platform because it is flexible and configurable to meet their specific needs.
"It is imperative to have a platform to streamline the due diligence process, maintain documents and help manage vendor oversight to ensure those relationships are functioning properly and are compliant with regulations," said Monica Sawatsky, SVP, BSI Financial Services. "Sunesis gives us that functionality and so much more without any disruption to our existing processes. This is the kind of technology that will allow us to make any changes based on our needs at any time."
Increased regulatory scrutiny has raised the stakes for managing third-party vendors. Specific technology to assist servicers in this area has never been more critical to mitigating regulatory risk.
"Many companies still use Excel spreadsheets and access databases to manage and audit third-party vendors. However, in this era of heightened risk and expense management, these end-user programs fall short," said Hans Rusli, CEO of IndiSoft. "Moreover, the scalability and flexibility of the Sunesis platform enables companies to deploy it at the enterprise level, beyond mortgage servicing."

Its Sunesis platform enhances risk-based assessment and helps companies meet regulatory requirements.

Stephen's molestation: DU says girl's new demands 'highly unreasonable'
"Following a meeting of the Department Research Committee (DRC), we had approved a new supervisor for her. However, while the modalities were being finalised she sent a new application last evening demanding that the new supervisor should be a female.
"The demands raised by her in the application are "highly unreasonable". She should have raised her demands during the meeting of DRC and insisted on <g data-gr-id="27">appointment</g> of a female supervisor then," Gurmeet Singh, HOD, DU's Chemistry department said.
Following a directive from the HRD ministry, the varsity had on Tuesday approved a new research supervisor maintaining that the process can move ahead only after St Stephen's facilitates an approval from the former supervisor.
The girl had approached the department to submit a set of demands that she <g data-gr-id="25">be</g> assigned a
female supervisor and allowed to resume her research work "from its present status".
"I want to make it clear that I don't want to start my research work afresh. I should be given the compounds made by me during research and the computational data collated so far.
"I also want the software key which I had been using while working with my supervisor," she had said in her application. Reacting to the demands, Gurmeet Singh said, "it is not university's prerogative to get her data back from the former supervisor, we have no administrative control over him. It is for St Stephen's to facilitate the same".
"We are doing our best to help out the girl but having agreed to everything, she needs to make up
her mind and let the matter proceed in towards the best possible solution," he added.

The Entire D6 Interview With Intellectual Ventures' Nathan Myhrvold (1 of 3)
We're posting all the interviews from the sixth D: All Things Digital conference that took place in late May.
Unfortunately, due to issues too complicated to go into, we have to post all the D6 interviews in several 15-minute parts (I know, I know).
But–as many readers have requested–they will all be available in their entirety in this column.
Here is a video of an interview Walt Mossberg did with Nathan Myhrvold, Founder and CEO of Intellectual Ventures.
In it, Mossberg wrangles with the former Microsoft (MSFT) CTO and research guru over his controversial company, which is assembling a large body of patents and inventions.
The Wall Street Journal wrote a piece today about Myhrvold's efforts (and did not use our D6 video covering the exact same topic, but we happily link to the Journal's article anyway!), discussing how Myhrvold is "using that clout to press tech giants to sign some of the costliest patent-licensing deals ever negotiated."
The video of the interview is in three parts.
In this first part, Myhrvold talks about exactly what Intellectual Ventures is–essentially, supporting inventors before they invent–discusses the importance of patience in the inventing business, gives examples of inventions in arenas like energy and defines what a "patent troll" is (not him, he insists).

Stevens Point, Wisconsin, resident Lois Matykowski was devastated when, five years ago, she lost her wedding ring.
"My husband and I had been married for 20 years at that time," she tells ABC News. "We had just upgraded the ring, and it wasn't insured. And it wasn't just the value, but also the emotional ties."
"How do you replace that?" she adds.
Matykowski looked everywhere, searching high and low for her ring. She checked the house, she checked the car, she checked the yard — but her wedding ring was nowhere to be found.
That's when she had a thought about where her ring might be.
Matykowski's dog, Rottweiler mix Tucker, has a very telling nickname.
"He's known in the family to be the food burglar," Matykowski explains.
Tucker has earned a reputation for mischief over the years, she says.
"You wouldn't think he's ten years old by the way he acts," Matykowski tells WAOW of Tucker.
But after weeks of checking Tucker's leavings for her beloved ring, Matykowski began to give up hope.
Little did she know that more than five years later, her ring would turn up exactly where she suspected it might surface.
Two weeks ago, Matykowski and her granddaughter were sitting outside in the yard, enjoying summer popsicles. Tucker, always the mischievous pooch, sneaked a treat for himself — popsicle stick and all.
"After I turn around and look at my granddaughter and the popsicle is gone and there's Tucker smacking his jaws," says Matykowski.
It may have been tasty at first, but that popsicle didn't sit easily in Tucker's tummy. Two days later, Tucker started vomiting. As Matykowski cleaned up after poor Tucker, she made a shocking discovery.
"I look in the paper towel and here is my wedding ring," Matykowski remembers. "I kid you not. My wedding ring was in Tucker's puke."
"I screamed. I kid you not," she says.
For all those long years, Matykowski's missing wedding ring was very close indeed, sitting at the bottom of her dog's stomach. Tucker's veterinarian believes the popsicle stick must have dislodged the ring from its resting place.
"I'm just elated. He threw up on the carpeting and I don't even care," Matykowski says.
"My friends have been telling me: 'I want a dog that throws up diamonds,'" she jokes. "Who wouldn't, right?"
But after all those years in the bottom of Tucker's tummy, was the ring even salvageable? Matykowski says she gently brushed the ring with a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean and buff the ring and it looks as good as new.
As for Tucker, the Rottie mix is feeling much better now. Matykowski says she hopes her dog will stick to eating only things that are meant to be eaten.
