Popular Tanzanian actress Irene Uwoya has now come out to apologize to the country's journalists following backlash after she recently dished out cash and caused a stamped during a press conference.
The drama occurred at the Hyatt Regency on Monday during the launch of Swahiliflix; ahead of the official launch set for August 31, 2019 at Mlimani City Plaza.
The actress, who was one of the major personalities set to address the presser, arrived late and gave a short address before digging into her bag and taking out wads of cash.
"Na nisiwachoshe sana nimewaweka muda mrefu, swahiliflix ni mambo moto lazima tusalimiane na ndugu zetu waandishi wa habari, nawatuza na kitu kidogo," she said.
["Let me not tire you out any more because I have already kept you waiting for long, Swahiliflix is hot and so we must unite with our journalists, I therefore want to give you a small gift."]
Ms. Uwoya then proceeded to toss the money at the journalists, most of whom then abandoned their trade and started scrambling for the cash.
The act has since been viewed as disrespectful as it also subjected the journalists to heavy criticism from Tanzanians online.
However, addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Ms. Uwoya expressed remorse at her actions that even led to some of the pressmen's equipment being destroyed.
"Mimi binafsi, kwa sababu mimi ndiye nilifanya hivyo, naomba msamaha kwani sikufanya makusudi, nilifanya kwa mapenzi na furaha zangu. Nilitoa hela kwa mapenzi yangu, sikuwa nawadharau. Kwa walio haribu vifaa vyao naomba mnisamehe," she said
[I, personally, ask for forgiveness since I am the one that committed the act. I did it out of love and happiness, not because I was demeaning you. And for those whose equipment got destroyed in the process, please forgive me."]
The actress also clarified her remark to journalists – during the presser – that they should be well dressed during the official August 31 launch.
"Sikusema hamko smart, nilitamani mjee katika uniform kama vile suti siku hiyo. Kwa wale mlinionelea vibaya naomba mnisamehe," she added
["I did not say you were not smart, I just meant that you should come in suits on that day. For those who took my statement the wrong way, kindly forgive me."]

Special issue of Fungal Biology Reviews, published by Elsevier and the British Mycological Society, features unique video content.
Amsterdam, 16 March, 2011 – A recent special edition of the journal Fungal Biology Reviews, published by Elsevier, on behalf of the British Mycological Society, features a total of 76 videos which together comprise the most comprehensive collection of fungal cell biology movies ever published. The movies were produced by Professor Gero Steinberg of the University of Exeter, UK, who is a renowned researcher in the field of fungal cell biology.
The editors of the journal and special issue, Nick D. Read and Geoffrey D. Robson, were delighted with the opportunity to publish this all new video content, and expect the collection to become a primary teaching resource in the field. Author Gero Steinberg said, "By sharing this video data with my colleagues, I hope to contribute to the education of a new generation of researchers in the exciting and fast-growing field of fungal cell biology."
The contribution by Steinberg and Schuster is part of a special issue with key note and plenary papers from the 9th International Mycological Congress (IMC9) held in Edinburgh in August of 2010. Many of the leaders in the field, including John Taylor of the University of California and Joseph Heitman of Duke University, contributed to this remarkable publication featuring expert review articles and written versions of the inspirational plenary lectures that were given at the 2010 congress.
In line with its mission to contribute to the progress and application of science, Elsevier has made the entire issue, including all video material, publicly available on Science Direct until 2012 at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/17494613.

If you are a fan of the much-loved and charming Raashi Khanna, then we have some awesome news for you. In an exciting development, her latest release Tholi Prema—which hit screens this Saturday is going strong at the box office. In merely two days, it has collected Rs 18 crore at the ticket window worldwide and proved to be the choice of the audience. The favourable reviews seem to have worked wonders for the film and helped it become a major success. If Tholi Prema manages to keep its hold over the box office in the coming days, it truly could turn out to be one of the biggest hits of Raashi's career.
In case you did not know, Tholi Prema is a romantic-drama and has been directed by newcomer Venky. Some time ago, the Khanna girl had said that the film could go a long way in establishing her as a bankable performer.
"The role I was waiting for came in the form of Varsha in Tholi Prema. It's always exciting to be part of films where you matter and add value. This is one such character for me. I believe the film will establish me as an actor because I have put in great effort to be a character I couldn't relate to even at a basic level," she had told a daily.
Besides Raashi Khanna, Tholi Prema also features Varun Tej in the lead. The young star was last seen in the sleeper hit Fidaa and received praise for his act. As such, Tholi Prema could go a long way in establishing him as a force to be reckoned with.
On a related note, with Tholi Prema in theatres, Raashi will turn her attention her next big release Adanga Maru. As far as Varun is concerned, he will soon be beginning work on his space film.

Speaking in an interview with Al Jazeera, Barlow said Buhari did not have any choice but to end the contract because he came under pressure from the US – a country he said sponsored the then All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate's campaign in 2015.
Boko Haram insurgents abducted 276 girls from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state in 2014. So far, 112 of the girls are still held captive by the insurgents. Fifty-seven were lucky to escape while 107 were released in batches in Swiss-coordinated negotiations.
In the build-up to the 2015 elections, the President Goodluck Jonathan administration made some successes in combating Boko Haram but after the Buhari administration came on board, the momentum went down temporarily.
READ ALSO: We saved N700bn through TSA, whistle-blowers, reforms – FG
Barlow said his army was initially engaged to rescue the Chibok girls but that changed to combating Boko Haram.
"Our initial aim was not Boko Haram per se, it was to rescue the Chibok girls. They were the girls that were kidnapped and the western response was #Savethegirls (#BringBackOurGirls)," he said.
"That type of nonsense does not save girls. Unfortunately, these girls became victims of a situation where the security had broken down in a specific area, they were kidnapped and that was the first mission – rescue the Chibok girls.
"We ended a selection process of the Nigerian soldiers, the soldiers were retained after a selection process, they were trained in a specific way to conduct a hostage rescue operation.
"However, after about five or six weeks of the training of the hostage rescue team we were asked to change our mission and that mission was to go to a town called Maiduguri in north-east Nigeria that had come under severe threat of Boko Haram and we rapidly had to transition what we were doing and suddenly train an offensive force with the minimum of equipment.
"We rushed to Maiduguri and we met with 7th infantry division commander, he was under pressure, we finally understood the pressure he was under and our suggestion to him that the force that we have trained which named the 72nd mobile strike force would actually spearhead the division and that is precisely what we did.
"The operation was in three phases, the first phase was to cut a dividing line across north-eastern Nigeria and isolate Boko Haram into two isolated areas and mop up. One area in the south was the start and after that then mop up in the north. The division will follow behind and occupy terrain.
"But we were never allowed to execute the entire operation. In one month, we took back terrain larger than the terrain of Belgium from Boko Haram. We were not allowed to finish because it came at a time that governments were in the process of changing.
"President Jonathan's government saw the entire Boko Haram contract, if we call it that, as a last grasp to regain popularity. The incoming president, President Buhari was heavily supported by a foreign government and one of the first missions was to terminate our contract.
"We were told it was the United States and they had actually funded President Buhari's campaign and the campaign manager for President Buhari came from the US.
"I'm not saying the United States is bad, I understand foreign interests but I'd have thought that a threat like Boko Haram on the integrity of Nigeria ought to be a priority but it wasn't."
When asked why the US allegedly aborted the mission, he said: "I think the US can answer that, I have come to realise that when a foreign interest clashes with a state's interest and domestic interest, conflict is bound to ensue and those conflicts continue with no end."
Barlow added that the federal government would be in the right position to disclose how much they were paid for the operation.

"I think they should spin out a portion of PayPal," he said, noting that he owns about 2 percent of eBay shares. Icahn, who owns just over 2 percent of the e-commerce company, has been pressuring eBay for weeks to spin off PayPal.

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) are expected to be a crucial component of vaccine-elicited protective immunity against HIV-1. However, all attempts to elicit such responses to date have failed. The lack of progress in this area could relate to the insufficient authenticity of candidate immunogens. A consistent finding of immunogenicity studies has been that while immune sera efficiently bind to the index immunogen, few Abs recognize the native form of Envelope glycoprotein (Env) found on virus particles. Because nAbs have the select ability to bind to these Env trimers, we hypothesize that Env trimers may in turn be the only antigen capable of selectively and reliably inducing nAbs in a vaccine setting. Testing this hypothesis has until now been impossible, due to problems in isolating pure native Env trimers. For example, particulate vaccines bear many non-functional forms of Env on their surfaces, as well as native trimers. These alternative forms of Env are """"""""promiscuous"""""""", in that they are recognized by non-neutralizing Abs (non-nAbs). As a result, they interfere with the development of nAbs. Here we describe new methods to completely eliminate non-functional Env, which will allow us to isolate and test pure authentic Env trimers as vaccines.
Our Specific Aims are:
Specific Aim 1 : To produce virus-like particles bearing authentic Env trimers as the sole form of Env. We are attempting to eliminate non-functional Env from particles, leaving only intact trimers. New strategies have brought us close to achieving this goal.
Specific Aim 2 : To generate soluble forms of pure authentic Env trimers. We are investigating methods to purify authentic soluble Env trimers. The antigenic topology and stability of pure soluble trimers will be characterized.
Specific Aim 3 : To evaluate pure authentic trimer immunogens in rabbits. The results from immunizations of successive groups of animals will guide improvements in the consistency, magnitude and breadth of nAb responses. The kinetics, duration and specificity of nAb responses will be characterized.
Specific Aim 4 : To rescue broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies using pure trimer VLPs as """"""""bait"""""""". BnmAbs are useful tools for vaccine design. Pure authentic Env trimers may be ideal """"""""baits"""""""" for selecting memory B cells, allowing new bnmAbs to be rescued. We will generate fluorochrome-labeled baits and work in collaboration with a group who has recently demonstrated a flow cytometry method to rescue new bnmAbs from HIV-1-infected donors. The neutralization potency, breadth and specificity of any newly identified bnmAbs will be determined. We will also examine IgG sequences and the extent of divergence from the germline.
We hypothesize that pure native HIV-1 Env trimers can elicit effective nAb responses. We will use a new strategy to produce VLPs bearing only authentic Env trimers. By similar methods, we will generate fully authentic soluble Env trimers. Their ability to elicit nAbs will be compared to mock immunogens.

November 24, 2017
Salute to all who are willing to sacrifice for our country...
I am writing this column in advance. It is Veteran's Day and I am the proud mother of a Lt. Commander Navy, former Army vet who served in Iraq, and former sailor who served on a minesweeper in the Persian Gulf.
I am also the widow of a Korean War Army veteran.
(I never served, but wow, how I worried!)
Speaking of Veteran's...
I received this letter from AARP Fraud Watch Network. It began, "They protected us. Now it's time to protect them."
It continues, "We're thrilled to officially launch Operation Protect Veterans, in partnership with the United States Postal Service, to protect American's military veterans and their families from identity theft and fraud."
Vigilance against scammers is our number one weapon in the fight against fraud. And now, we've got the proven tools and resources to help veterans and their families to be on guard for common scams. Check out
The update your military file scam: A caller claims to be from the Department of Veterans Affairs and asks to "update" your information to be used to steal your credit.
The cash for benefits scam: Scammers target veterans in need of money by offering cash in exchange for their future disability or pension payments. These buyouts are typically a fraction of the value of the benefit.
Charity scams: A caller claims to be raising money for disabled veterans or veterans with cancer or a similar sounding name. But often, the so-called charity is not registered with the government and/or uses most of the money to raise more funds and pay their salaries.
VA loan modification: The scammers contact military families offering to help refinance their VA loans and then ask for upfront fees. They never provide the promised loan.
Please feel free to reach out to the AARP Fraud Watch Network directly at email@example.com or call the Fraud Watch Network helpline at 1-800-908-3360 if you have any questions about scams targeting veterans.
(Be wise! Beware!)

(I repeat... I AM NOT A COUGAR!)
One for the road...
Freda and her friend Ruth were having a chat about their sons. "So Ruth," asks Freda, "I hear that your Paul has just been made a director of Shmultz PLC. Is he a good businessman, then?"
"Is he a good businessman?" replies Ruth. "Oy! He's a brilliant businessman, Freda. In fact mine Paul is so dedicated to his company that every night he takes his secretary to bed with him-just in case he comes up with a brilliant idea."

Chocolate Angel Pie
by Martin Family Food Admin on Oct.27, 2015, under Desserts, Pies
For a pie with a balance of chocolate filling, crisp meringue, and fluffy whipped cream, we needed to boost the chocolate flavor. By making a cooked custard, we were able to load nearly a pound of chocolate into the filling, and using part milk and part bittersweet chocolate lent depth and complexity. True meringue takes time, and we found that 2½ hours in the oven was necessary for the lightest, crispest crust. To prevent the crust from sticking to the pan, we rely on a double dose of cornstarch—in the egg whites and as a coating for the pie plate. To finish, we go with lightly sweetened whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa powder.
Serve the assembled pie within 3 hours of chilling.
- 9 ounces milk chocolate, chopped fine
- 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
- 3 large large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch, plus extra for pie plate
- 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
- 3 large egg whites
- Pinch cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
1. FOR THE FILLING: Microwave milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate in large bowl at 50 percent power, stirring occasionally, until melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt together in medium bowl until combined, about 1 minute. Bring half-and-half to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisking constantly, slowly add hot half-and-half to egg yolk mixture in 2 additions until incorporated. Return half-and-half mixture to now-empty saucepan and cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened slightly, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir half-and-half mixture into melted chocolate until combined. Let cool slightly, about 8 minutes.
2. Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip cream on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to high and whip until soft peaks form, 1 to 3 minutes. Gently whisk one-third of whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until ready to assemble pie. (Filling can be made up to 24 hours in advance.)
3. FOR THE MERINGUE CRUST: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 275 degrees. Grease 9-inch pie plate and dust well with extra cornstarch, using pastry brush to distribute evenly. Combine sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in bowl. Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and whip whites to soft, billowy mounds, 1 to 3 minutes. Gradually add sugar mixture and whip until glossy, stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vanilla to meringue and whip until incorporated.
4. Spread meringue into prepared pie plate, following contours of plate to cover bottom, sides, and edges. Bake for 1½ hours. Rotate pie plate, reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees, and bake until completely dried out, about 1 hour longer. (Shell will rise above rim of pie plate; some cracking is OK.) Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
5. FOR THE TOPPING: Spoon cooled chocolate filling into cavity of pie shell, distributing evenly. Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip cream and sugar on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form, 1 to 3 minutes. Spread whipped cream evenly over chocolate. Refrigerate until filling is set, about 1 hour. Dust with cocoa. Slice with sharp knife and serve.
The egg white crust is part of what distinguishes angel pie. To avoid a sticky, broken meringue shell, add cornstarch to the whites, and grease the pie plate and dust it with more cornstarch. Also, this uses the ideal baking time and temperatures to ensure that the interior and exterior of the meringue cooked properly.
PB&J Cookies
by Martin Family Food Admin on Nov.30, 2011, under Cookies, Desserts
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup canned white cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup reduced-fat peanut butter, such as Better'n Peanut Butter
2 tablespoons agave nectar
3 large egg whites
4 packets (about 4 grams) powdered stevia, such as SweetLeaf
1/4 cup puffed millet cereal, such as Arrowhead Mills
1/4 cup peanut butter chips
Nonstick cooking spray
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, add the cranberries. Pour in hot water to cover and allow to soak.
3. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a food processor, combine the vanilla, cocoa, cannellini beans, peanut butter, and agave. Blend until the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping down the side of the bowl halfway through blending.
4. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whip attachment, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in the stevia. Continue to beat the whites until they are creamy and nearly stiff. Add one-third of the egg-white mixture to the cocoa-bean mixture in the food processor. Blend to combine, about 30 seconds. In 2 batches, fold the lightened cocoa mixture into the egg whites until they are almost fully combined.
5. Drain the liquid from the cranberries and then add the cranberries to the batter. Add the millet. Fold the batter until the cranberries and millet are evenly dispersed and the cocoa mixture is completely incorporated.
6. Drop mounded spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared sheets. Spread the batter out to form cookies about 2 inches in diameter. Sprinkle the peanut butter chips on top of the cookies.
7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the pans one turn halfway through baking. Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.

Puppy Chow
by Martin Family Food Admin on Nov.03, 2011, under Cookies, Desserts
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
9 cups Crispix cereal (any flavor)

2. Microwave for one minute then stir to blend all ingredients thoroughly. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Stir well.
3. Place the 9 cups of Crispix cereal in a very large bowl.
4. Pour the peanut butter-chocolate mixture over the cereal and toss evenly, making sure all the cereal gets a good covering.
5. Place the powdered sugar in a large zip-lock type plastic bag.
6. Add the peanut butter-chocolate cereal mixture to the bag, leaving enough room for the puppy chow to be shaken (you may have to divide the mixture into smaller batches, coating one batch at a time).
7. Shake the bag vigorously to evenly coat each piece of the puppy chow with powdered sugar.
8. Once the mixture is fully coated, place in a large serving bowl.
9. Coat any additional pieces by shaking the mixture in the powdered sugar filled bag. Add powdered sugar to the bag as needed until all the mixture is coated.

Ask AutoGuide No. 26 – Acura ILX vs. Audi S4 vs. Cadillac CTS-V
Goldilocks and the Three Bears is a lighthearted fairytale highlighting the adventures of a cute little girl and a trio of cuddly bears… or is it? A closer examination of this innocent-sounding narrative reveals that it's actually a gloomy tale that glorifies breaking and entering, trespassing, vandalism and theft.
At first blush Goldilocks comes across as a naive if misguided protagonist, but things quickly take a turn for the worse. She breaks into the three bears' home, defiles their morning gruel, smashes some furniture and then makes a mess of their bedding. She may sound like an angelic little girl but in reality Ms. 'Locks was probably a troubled teenage miscreant looking for a place to crash and some junk to pawn.
Today Ask AutoGuide borrows a page from this nefarious children's tale to compare three luxury sedans, though we're skipping bears, blondes and felonies. One of these cars is small, another medium and the last quite large. Adding some interest to the feature, each one hails from a separate continent though they're all equipped with manual transmissions. What's the right choice for our hypothetical Goldilocks? Juvenile detention isn't an option so let's explore these sedans.
Baby Bear – 2014 Acura ILX Six-Speed Manual with Premium Package
Acura's ILX is the smallest offering in this ursine trio. As it stands, baby bear is a compact four-door that's built on the Honda Civic's acclaimed if pedestrian architecture. It features four-cylinder power and a polished six-speed manual transmission.
The car's gear selector is a fine piece of mechanical engineering; it feels like something that belongs in the breech of a high-dollar firearm, not the cabin of an entry-level luxury car.
The ILX is powered by a 2.4-liter VTEC banger that signs a check for 201 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. If that sounds familiar it should; those are identical to the numbers posted by a Honda Civic Si, a car ostensibly aimed at Spanish-speaking customers. "Si Señor!"
Overall, the car's performance is completely satisfactory, though hardly stellar; it's certainly outmuscled by the other two bears in this high-dollar trio. Still, the ILX should provide an entertaining on-road experience without sacrificing acceptable efficiency.
When it comes to economy this baby stickers at 22 miles per gallon in urban motoring and up to 31 on the interstate. Combined, the ILX should deliver 25 MPG. While hardly stellar, those figures are the best in this comparison by a margin wider than the Grand Canyon. Mama and papa bear are thirsty critters!
With the Premium Package, which is the only way you can get an Acura ILX with a stick, the car clocks in at $30,095 including $895 in shipping and handling fees. Still, at that price you get leather-trimmed sport seats, a power driver's chair and Bluetooth connectivity, to say nothing of keyless entry with push-button start and a multi-view rear camera. Baby bear may be small, but he's packing some luxury heat!
Mama Bear – 2014 Audi S4 Premium Plus
Come to mama! The Audi S4 is one hot sedan! This middleweight luxury four-door trounces the Acura with a combination of attractive design, premium interior trimmings and outright performance. Sounds like a "just-right" combination to us.
However, like a high-end call girl the S4's seduction comes at a price; it's a lot more expensive and dramatically less efficient than the streetwalking Honda, er, sorry, ILX.
Base price for this tempting Audi is $48,995 including $895 in obligatory fees. That gets you an attractive and well-equipped vehicle, but be warned. There are several perils to ordering an S4.
Like other German automakers the four-ring brand likes to charge extra for stuff, like paint. Black or white are free but any of the other available colors are going to cost you an additional $500 or $1,075. Maybe Henry Ford was right about having any hue as long as it was black… Opting for fancy leather inside jacks up the price by nearly $1,300; ditto for upscale trim. Avoid Nappa cow hides and wood embellishments and you can drive off the lot for right around 50 grand.
Under the Auto Union's hood rests a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. Like a butter churn this powerplant delivers a creamy-smooth finished product. Horsepower clocks in at 333 while torque maxes out at 325 lb-ft.
Of course this entry-level Audi is equipped with a manual transmission featuring half-a-dozen forward gears. In addition to this nicety you get Audi's trend-setting and industry-leading quattro all-wheel-drive system for maximum traction in all weather conditions.
What does all that supercharged V6 goodness result in? Well, the S4 is advertised as sprinting from zero to 60 miles an hour in a scant 4.9 seconds; she's expected to deliver a terminal velocity of 155 miles an hour, though we don't advocate exploring the upper end of this car's capability on public thoroughfares.
Back to reality, not everything is perfect about this middle-of-the-road Audi. Aside from its steep base price the car also enjoys gasoline, and lots of it. According to the U.S. EPA this car should return 17 miles to a gallon of petroleum distillates in city driving and up to 26 on the open road. Its combined score clocks in at a wince-inducing 20 MPG.
Mama bear may offer an appealing blend of alluring attributes but watch out; she'll rip your wallet to shreds if you're not careful!
Papa Bear – 2014 Cadillac CTS-V Standard
Three furry critters and a blonde-haired chick? Things are getting kinky, especially when you throw a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine into the mix, which is exactly what lurks under the Cadillac CTS-V's hood.
This car is powered by an advanced GM Small Block that cranks out 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft of torque, probably more twist than provided by the battleship USS Iowa's steam turbines.
Teamed to a six-speed shift-it-yourself gearbox as well as tried-and-true rear-wheel drive the V-Series makes even the fleet Audi seem glacial. This grizzly-grade Cadillac should be able to dash from zero to 60 miles an hour in just 3.9 seconds, a full second quicker than the S4.
There's an old saying, "speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?" This quick Caddy upholds that idiom. Base price for an options-free model is $65,825, including $925 is destination charges. That's A LOT higher than the Audi and more than double what the Acura ILX stickers for.
What do you get for that monumental outlay of cash? Aside from blistering acceleration passengers are treated to a 10-speaker audio system, 10-way power-adjustable front seats and some other ancillary junk that doesn't really matter. What counts with this car has already been mentioned: 3.9 seconds.
Now, in addition to a steep base price there are a few other downsides to this fast four-door. Fuel consumption is a major issue. According to Uncle Sam, the best Cadillac's CTS-V can muster is a paltry 19 miles per gallon on the highway. Its around-town figure is even grimmer; the car stickers at just 14 MPG. Its average is 16.
There are two other problems with this high-powered sports sedan. As a result of its frightful consumption the car gets dinged $1,300 for gas-guzzler taxes (included in the above-mentioned price). Additionally like Audi, Cadillac charges extra for deluxe paint colors, but they offer more hues for free than their German counterpart, twice as many in fact.
Lastly, Cadillac just introduced a brand-new CTS. It's a sexy four-door with a seriously premium interior and up-market exterior styling. Unfortunately the 2014 V is not this car; it's the previous generation CTS, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but newer is generally better. Wouldn't you agree?
Like Goldilocks and the Three Bears we've presented a trio of different luxury sedans, each equipped with proper manual transmissions. The Acura ILX represents the baby; it's affordable and efficient, though not all that much fun. Playing the role of papa bear is the Cadillac's CTS-V, a bruiser of a car with 556 horsepower and frightful fuel economy. Splitting the difference is Audi's elegant S4. It's quick and pretty. Which one is right for you? Why not test drive them all? That's half the fun of buying a new car.
If you need a little assistance shopping for your next vehicle feel free to do the same. Send a short message to [email protected] Let us know the basics of what you're looking for. How many seats do you need? What size of vehicle do you want? How much are you willing to spend? With some of those fundamentals out of the way we'll get busy to come up with two or three must-see vehicles that you'll have to put on your test-drive list.

Tarek Saadi, President of Ericsson's North Middle East Region, has said his company remains bullish on Iraq despite the threat of terrorism.
Speaking on the sidelines of a trade event, he said:
"Iraq is one of the more important markets for Ericsson in the Middle East ... We still believe in the long terms prospects of the country.
"We believe 3G [will] be a long term revenue driver to the operators and to Ericsson."
According to the report from Gulf News, he did however admit that his "very bullish" outlook for the country had been moderated.
The company works with all three operators in Iraq -- Asiacell, Korek and Zain, with which it has a network management contract -- and Saadi says its operations have not been largely affected by the increasing instability in the country.

ADOTAS – It sounds like some kind of malevolent organization that Bruce Lee will have to infiltrate and destroy using only his furious fists and feet, but ORMMA actually stands for Open Rich Mobile Media Advertising, an effort to create cross-platform mobile rich media standards for in-app advertising.
At the heart of the initiative — led by The Weather Channel, mobile ad platform Crisp Wireless and app developer Tringapps, who each made a significant technological contribution to its development — is the extension of desktop ad serving to mobile apps to defrag the space. ORMMA is based on HTML5 standards so ad units will be compatible across all mobile platforms and includes rich media ad specifications and open-source code.
Early adopters of the new standard include ad networks PointRoll and Jumptap, and ORMMA is currently under review by the Mobile Marketing Association, which is expected to disclose an evaluation and whitepaper on the initiative within three months.
"The current model for serving ads into mobile apps is broken. Publishers and app developers need to work with numerous vendors and SDKs to run campaigns across multiple platforms and devices, which greatly limits the ability to plan large-scale, mobile rich media ad buys," said Cameron Clayton, senior vice president of mobile and digital applications for The Weather Channel. "The mission of ORMMA is to simplify the serving of rich media ads into mobile apps by creating an open standard and industry best practices that gain contribution from — and are adopted by — leading publishers, developers and vendors."
Further technical details can be found at ormma.org, as well as the ORMMA Google Gode Project wiki, which overviews the software development kit and details the initiatives proposed standards.

EGREMONT — A new wine, beer and liquor store on Main Street is seeking to bring a boutique-level of service to beverage-buying.
South Egremont Spirit Shoppe had its grand opening last week in the historic yellow house with green trim — an old horse carriage axle manufacturer — on Route 23 next to Mom's Country Cafe and Egremont Market.
The shop is decidedly chic with none of the usual package store retail racks, cash registers and bottle deposit machines in site. Just about every display was purchased at an antique store and refurbished to hold wine — the bulk of the store's merchandise — and spirits. Local art hangs on the walls. After a while, you start to notice little jokes tucked into the decor, like a photo of Tom Selleck, Mr. "Magnum P.I.," right under the magnum-sized bottles.
"This has been a dream for a long time," said co-owner Tom Morrison, who, before starting his own place, was the "wine guru" at Spirited Wines in Lenox. "We worked hard for other people and now it was time to do something for ourselves. The opportunity came along in Egremont and this is a great community and an awesome spot to be in."
Morrison founded the shop at 71 Main St. with co-owner Dan Thomas, who just wrapped up about 10 years as the sommelier at The Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge. The two beverage pros have known each other for the last decade or so and over the past year began making plans to open their own wine store.
"Retail is challenging," Thomas said noting that he was just browsing Amazon.com. "So, I want people to shop different. They can come here and it's an experience. We didn't want to have the traditional wine store."
South Egremont Spirit Shoppe specializes in affordable wines from vineyards little-known to the average wine-drinker. Most of the wines are in the $12-to-$30 range. They carry a lot of wines from familiar grape-producers such as Italy, Spain and France, but right now they're also selling wines from Austria, Croatia, the Finger Lakes, Greece and the Canary Islands.
They feature labels from winemakers such as Weingut Muller-Grossmann, Eric Kent, Chateau Rayas, Kruger-Rumpf, Masseria Li Veli and Minimus.
Thomas said with the owners' connections in the beverage business they are able to bring hard-to-find wines to Egremont as well. He picks up a bottle of Chateau Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape — one of the more expensive bottles in the store.
"In Massachusetts we're the only retailer that gets it in — and we have it in a red — because I know the broker," he said.
The store isn't just about introducing people to new flavors; the shop has familiar beverages as well including craft beer, liquors and traditional wine varieties.
"People need a bit of recognition, like Chardonnay," Thomas said. "People like Chardonnay, I like Chardonnay, but here are some good examples of it that we can introduce people to."
The organization of the shop has the wines displayed around the store on three tiers: the first being lighter wines; the second, mid-range; and the top, full-bodied vinos. There's a standing beer cooler and a wall dedicated to spirits as well as an open-top cooler for cheese and charcuterie. At the front of the store is the "twofer" section where people can purchase two bottles of wine for $20 or $30, depending on personal choice, from an array of preselected vintages.
Thomas said future plans for the South Egremont Spirit Shoppe include installing a comfortable wine tasting section with chairs and a couch for relaxed shopping. The owners are also looking forward to hosting seminars and talks about wines as well as tasting events.
"I'm a firm believer in variety is the spice of life," Thomas said.

Delpit, Jefferson among 6 LSU Tigers entering NFL draft
After passing game coordinator Joe Brady left for the NFL on Tuesday, the exodus of the national champion LSU Tigers continued Wednesday with six juniors declaring for the draft.
Safety Grant Delpit, wide receiver Justin Jefferson, center Lloyd Cushenberry, left tackle Saahdiq Charles and linebackers Patrick Queen and Jacob Phillips all announced their decisions Wednesday, two days after helping the Tigers defeat Clemson in the College Football Playoff championship game.
The highest-rated prospect as a likely first-round pick, Delpit wrote on Twitter on Wednesday, "We are champs. We hoisted the trophy for you and LSU fans everywhere. I've decided to move on to the NFL. I will carry the joy and excitement of this season with me forever."
The 2019 Thorpe Award winner and two-time All-American tallied six tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in LSU's 42-25 victory over Clemson, completing a perfect 15-0 season.
Delpit's three-year totals include 199 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks, eight interceptions and 32 passes defensed in 40 games.
Widely pegged as a first- or second-rounder, Jefferson made his announcement to Yahoo Sports, saying, "We just had a perfect year. We won the national championship and set records. We had a lot of awards and did it with our team. I feel like it was the best way to go."
A former two-star recruit on Rivals.com, Jefferson racked up 111 catches -- third-most in SEC history -- for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns this season, including 14 grabs for 227 yards and four first-half scores of the CFP semifinal win over Oklahoma.
He added nine catches for 106 yards against Clemson, finishing his career with 165 grabs for 2,415 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Queen, who announced his decision on Twitter, is viewed by most outlets as a second- or third-round prospect. A speedy 227-pounder, he racked up eight tackles (2.5 for loss) and a half-sack while earning Defensive MVP honors in the national title game.
He finishes his career with 131 tackles (17.5 for loss), four sacks, an interception and three pass breakups in 41 games.
Cushenberry, rated by some as the draft's top center, also announced his decision on Twitter, writing, "It's been a dream of mine since I was 8 years old to play in The National Football League. Now it's time to turn my dreams into reality."
Considered a probable second-round pick, Cushenberry started all 28 games over his final two seasons and graduated early in December.
Charles started 28 times in his LSU career, but missed six games this season due to multiple suspensions. He is considered a late-round prospect, as is Phillips, who led LSU with 113 tackles, including 7.5 for loss and one sack, this season. Phillips and Queen served as the team's starting inside linebackers.
Several other Tigers underclassmen are expected to consider declaring for the draft before Friday's deadline, including cornerback Kristian Fulton, edge rusher K'Lavon Chaisson and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
Brady is leaving LSU after one season to join the Carolina Panthers as offensive coordinator.

ADDvantages Learning Center of South Jersey provides real solutions for students with ADHD, Aspergers, CAPD, learning disabilities, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyslexia, sensory integration, writing, reading, math, homework, study skills, social skills, behavior management, and parent training.
Our distinction is that we work on weak processing skills so as to enable our students to learn. We dont just tutor; we train the brain to process incoming information for easier and faster independent learning. We realize that adults and childrend continue to struggle even with tutoring, so we have provided a better way.
Our students leave with the necessary skills to achieve, the motivation to succeed, a much improved attitude towards school, and the self-confidence to move forward. Most important, they leave with the ability to learn with ease and experience success!

In the practicing professions, much of what we learn is in the classroom. Our areas of study require thorough contemplation of the seminal works and what have become the foundational theories over time. However, as licenced clinical social worker Danna R. Bodenheimer writes in Real World Clinical Social Work, "In the end, it takes not only good curriculum but good teachers to help students thoughtfully, carefully, and deliberately integrate what they've learned into their practice." And then, what about after school is over? For that, Bodenheimer has positioned herself as a facilitator or coach, a sort of out-of-classroom teacher. Her book offers a glimpse into what the new social worker can expect after school, as well as what the more seasoned clinician may want to consider.
Bodenheimer tackles some of the toughest concepts for clinicians. These include the importance of cultural competence in dealing with clients, the subjectivity of clinical social work, and the value of a strengths perspective with regard to self and others. And on top of that: fear.
As Bodenheimer puts it, this includes "a fear about our own indispensability, a fear of termination, a fear of taking care of our own professional and personal needs, and a dual fear of our own competence and incompetence."
The book opens with a narrative from one of her first clients, whose story Bodenheimer weaves throughout to illustrate the development of a safe clinical atmosphere. The introduction also provides seven overarching questions to help scaffold the following chapters.
Bodenheimer goes on to distill the theories she considers primary to the profession, including issues related to object relations, self psychology, and ego psychology. She describes the relationship of theory to practice, with a focus on CBT. For each theory, Bodenheimer describers it in general, then gives an example of application, and finally discusses where it tends to fall short with regard to training, function, and accessibility.
She also returns to the questions from the introduction and relates them to theory and case conceptualization, which she defines as "our effort to make sense of a case, and to begin to answer the 'why' questions about how our client is functioning."
When it comes to supervision opportunities, such as in-agency, private, group, and peer, Bodenheimer writes that these experiences are "an often undervalued, yet paramount, element of clinical social work. Our field," she continues, "largely informed by classroom teaching, relies heavily on the sharing of practice wisdom between generations. This is what differentiates our functioning as a field from many others." She provides solid evidence of the differences between early-career and late-career supervision, and discusses why practitioners should consider maintaining some level of supervisory relationships beyond licensure.
Bodenheimer's writing style is easy to follow. She offers a step-by-step discussion of the real-world aspects of the profession, such as common locations social workers select for employment. Here, she covers the clinical nature of each setting, typical length of treatment, types of supervision offered, and common theoretical modalities expected. She also includes a detailed discussion of salary planning and expectations that will be particularly helpful to the new practitioner.
The book is accessible to readers from across the spectrum of learners and clinicians. It works as a reference text for professionals who are well along in their careers, serves as a how-to or what-to-consider manual for an undergraduate student seeking more information when choosing a major, and offers insight to the graduate student considering next steps.

The Disciples, in this morning's reading (Acts 1:1--14) are a little confused -- what else is new?! If you think about it, however, a lot has happened in the three years they have been with Jesus let alone the last month and a half with Jesus. I'm sure, because we read it in the Gospels, that a lot of things not only changed but their thoughts and the way the tried to think, had changed. Now Jesus has been with them, raised from the dead (!) continuing to explain things, teach things and encourage them. No wonder they are going "is this the time?" Then, as Jesus is ascending to heaven, they stop and look up.
They also follow instructions, we're told in a few verses, to go back to Jerusalem and spend time in prayer and praise. It makes me wonder if we follow these instructions. When everything gets so hectic, when there is so much to get done, when an important "trip" is added to our "journey" of life, do we remember to stop and look up as we take time for prayer and praise?
Psalm 121 reminds us "I look up to the mountains -- does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." (verses 1 & 2) Like the Disciples, pausing to watch Jesus ascend to heaven, we need to take time (no matter how busy we get) to have a "pause that refreshes" with God. I encourage you to take time daily with God to feel the "help" that "comes from the Lord."

Need to know
What happens icon plusA laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is carried out under general anaesthetic, which means you'll be asleep. Your consultant surgeon will make a few cuts in your abdomen. They'll then insert a laparoscope (a thin telescope with a light on it) through these cuts to examine your ovaries. Your consultant will then make a larger cut above your pubic line. They'll use the larger opening to remove the cyst. Samples of the cyst may be sent for analysis to check it for cancer.
How to prepare icon plusYour consultant surgeon will explain the procedure to you during a pre-surgery screening, which will most likely take place on a date before the procedure. Like all procedures, there may be some risks and side effects involved. These will be explained to you. As you'll be receiving a general anaesthetic, it's likely you'll be asked to limit your food and drink intake in the hours leading up to your surgery. You may also be asked to put on special tights to prevent blood clots during the surgery.
Afterwards icon plusYou may be able to go home on the day of your procedure or one or two days after. In any case, you may need to ask someone to pick you up. You may experience abdominal pain for up to 10 days after your procedure. Your consultant surgeon or specialist nurse will make sure you go home with the right level of pain medication. They'll also explain how to care for your wounds. You'll receive a date for a follow-up appointment. If your cyst has been sent away for analysis, your consultant will give you the results during your follow-up.
