With his long, sculpted features, subdued yet saturnine expression and intelligent manner, Nimoy has most often been cast as cerebral types (Spock), though his intense, incisive manner also makes him an apt villain (Mission: Impossible).

Toured in musicals shows such as, "My Fair Lady" and "Fiddler on the Roof" (as Tevye), and as Theo van Gogh in a one-man drama he wrote himself, "Vincent".

(This letter is often used as a symbol of God in Judaism, as it is an abbreviation for God's name Shaddai. This usage is seen, for example, on every mezuzah.) Nimoy may also have derived the accompanying spoken blessing, "Live long and prosper" from this source, as the last phrase of the blessing is "May the Lord be forbearing unto you and give you peace" (Numbers 6:24-26).

Leonard: (on acting) The door is not completely closed. Obviously, I said a couple of years ago that I was retiring and here I am talking about a performance that I just gave. There are certain special situations that come along that can intrigue me. This one did. It's nice to get off the couch and throw the clothes on and a little makeup and go back to work every once in a while. I still enjoy it.
Leonard (At Comic-Con refering to Trek 11): This is really going to be a great movie, and I don't say things like that lightly.
Leonard: (To Sixpage.com about his choice of obese photographic subjects)
They are interested in fat liberation. Their self-esteem is strong. They will tell you that too many people suffer because the body they live in is not the body you find in the fashion magazines.

Leonard Nimoy: (on Enterprise) I haven't seen much of it. I think they're very talented people.

Leonard:(On Star Trek to Tv Guide) For the writers, Star Trek was a terrific opportunity to use the future as a metaphor for the upheaval of the '60s, but people were predicting I'd never work again.
Leonard:(To Jam Movies about possible involvement in Trek 11) The head of production at Paramount called my agency to tell them about this project, and they are aware of [William Shanter]'s and my contribution to the franchise, and they'd like us to know they might want some involvement. It was all very, very general. They might possibly want Bill and I to set up the story as a flashback. But that's just conjecture on my part.
Leonard Nimoy: (on what he does in his pass time) My wife and I are very active in the art community in Los Angeles and in New York. My wife is a Trustee at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and we spend a lot of time in galleries and museums.
Leonard Nimoy: (on what past cast members he stays in contact with) I'm very much in touch with Bill Shatner. He and I and Nichelle Nichols and Jimmy Doohan were together at the TV Land Awards, Star Trek was presented with an award and we accepted for Star Trek
Leonard Nimoy: (on working with Gene Roddenberry) He was a very complicated man and a great visionary

Windows 8 will have both the new Metro-style applications and user interface and the traditional Windows 7 desktop for legacy applications, which kind of runs like an application. Since legacy applications have to be recompiled to run on ARM anyway, it's always been a bit unclear if the ARM version of Windows 8 would include the legacy desktop at all - even Microsoft itself confirmed it wasn't sure yet. Microsoft bloggers Mary-Jo Foley and Paul Thurrot have fresh rumours that Microsoft has now made the decision to remove the legacy desktop from the ARM version.

Multi-seat MadnessTuesday, March 10th, 2009
Just to demonstrate a problem that can occur with fptp elections in multi-seat districts, the result of the 2008 municipal election in the Tredegar Central & West ward (a four seater) of Blaenau Gwent CBC:
- S.Thomas, Lab, 808
- H.L.Trollope, Lab, 740
- N.Hobbs, Lab, 712
- D.I.Morris, Lab, 691
- G.Bowen-Knight, Plaid, 587
- G.Walters, PV, 544
- W.Kenvin,LDem, 539
- D.Wilcox, PV, 516
It is obvious that the voters of Tredegar preferred all four Labour candidates to all four non-Labour candidates. And, on one level, that's all that matters. But election junkies are usually more interested in partisan support than 'owt else, election junkies like statistics and election junkies like percentages. So, what were the party totals for Tredegar Central & West? If we just add up everything we get:
- Labour, 57.4%
- Plaid, 11.5%
- LDem, 10.5%
The problems here are obvious. Only one party ran a full slate; two of the parties ran just one candidate. And each voter has four votes; as a result more votes were cast in this election than registered voters in the ward (and this with the usual awful turnout of a local election). One common solution to this problem is just to take an average of the votes for each party, thus:
- Labour, 30.8%
- Plaid, 24.5%
- LDem, 22.5%
While this method might make sense if all parties ran full slates, when one party runs four candidates and no other runs more than two, the percentages start to have little in common with the actual election result. Another common method is just to use the top candidate of each party; this method has the same problem with results like this as just doing an average and throws in a different problem (that of personal votes). A further, desperate, alternative would be to average the results of the Labour and non-Labour candidates, thus:
- Labour, 57.5%
- Non-Labour, 42.5%
The problems here are obvious as well. When given the choice, some voters always split their tickets and quite a few will only vote for a single candidate (especially if their chosen party has just one candidate). And so on.
In other words, there appears to be no easy solution to this problem, and where does that leave map-makers? A possible answer would be to abandon (more or less) winning-party maps and just map party support instead… comparing the vote of each party to the number of voters in each ward and not to the votes of other parties in the same ward. More on that at a decent hour.

2012 Student Projects
STEM Summer Scholar 2012 - Jubril Lawal
My name is Jubril Lawal, a recent graduate of Liberal Arts and Science at Hostos Community College. I am the second of seven children and have always been fascinated by science. As a Bronx residence who is aspiring to become a medical doctor in the near future, I think it is essential to be research-minded and not just a doctor who prescribes medication.
Understanding the science behind medicines is vital for the development of new drugs. My goal as a physician would be to focus more on preventative medicine specifically cancer and cancer research as this is one of the most common causes of mortality in the United States. I am driven in this interest by the fact that I know three people who are dealing with different types of cancer and in my community early detection and treatment of cancer is a major problem.
I chose to participate in the STEM program after being introduced to it by my physics professor who I worked with on my honors physical biology coursework. I think the idea behind it is excellent and it is the first of its kind. I am grateful for the opportunity given to me by the departments of Chemistry and Biology at Lehman College and particularly Dr. Moira Sauane for her unrivaled support during this period.

Rated: PG-13 for sexual content and smoking.
Release Date: 2009-09-25
Starring: Anne Fontaine
Film Genre:
Country: France
Official Website: http://www.sonyclassics.com/cocobeforechanel/
Go to our film page
"Coco Before Chanel" is nothing short of a treat for your eyes – and your sensibilities. Anne Fontaine has created a period piece that like its subject, Gabriel "Coco" Chanel, is a classic.
Fontaine and Audrey Tautou create Coco seamlessly before your eyes. As the title claims this is a film about Coco, not about the successful Chanel. It is a story about a woman who is destined to be an icon, but not about the icon. In short this film is not about fashion, it is the story of a woman's tragic success. Thanks to Fontaines' masterful screenplay and direction this glimpse of Coco's life feels authentic without being audacious.
Fontaine and Tautou take care to represent the eyes of Coco, as they become the vision of Channel. The whole narrative plays through the understanding of Coco's vision, and Tautou portrays it perfectly from her first glimpse to her final gaze. Of course this film is incomplete without Etienne Balsan, Benoit Poelvoorde, and Boy Capel, Alessandro Nivola, because at its heart is the story of a woman's tragedy and assiduity. The care and portrayal of these key figures matches that of Tautous', which keeps the audience attached to the emotions and vulnerabilities of each until the bittersweet end.
The film in no mean encompasses the eighty-seven years of Coco Channel's life; it does, however, encompass the style. It is a quiet, comfortable film that is driven through, in part, by the magic of stills; and so if you are outside those niche audiences prepare yourself for an altogether different experience. Like all things Coco Chanel, even if you cannot afford it, you cannot afford to miss it.

Llorente repeats Bilbao exit claim
Fernando Llorente has confirmed he will leave Athletic Bilbao when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The Spain striker turned down the offer of a new deal at the Primera Liga club over the summer and said he wanted to leave, but Bilbao refused to negotiate with interested sides.
Llorente, who has previously been linked with Juventus and Arsenal, has found himself relegated to the bench so far this season, starting one league game and scoring a single goal.
After failing to persuade him to stay, Bilbao could choose to sell the 27-year-old in January rather than lose him on a free transfer in the summer, with Juve thought to be planning a winter swoop for the striker.
He said: "I am going to leave on June 30. I want to develop as a player and try something new."
Llorente, who made his senior debut with Bilbao in January 2005 after coming through their youth academy, was the club's top scorer last season with 17 goals in 32 league appearances.
The uncertainty over his future has made him a target of abuse from some sections of Bilbao's fans and he added: "It isn't about money because the offer the club made was irresistible.
"The media have not helped with the negotiations and it is one of the things that has generated the bad atmosphere around me out on the pitch. This has encouraged me not to renew my contract; this and many other things.
"I took the decision when I went out for the first Europa League game at San Mames (in August).
"Most of what has come out in the press is lies and this has turned people against me. This has meant when I run out on to the pitch people whistle at me. There is a sector of the crowd who do not want me but I feel loved by the majority."

Faith's 10 Essential Kitchen Tools
What gets the most use in your kitchen? As we closed out the Kitchn Cure, we took mini-trips through our own cupboards and cabinets and lookd at the humble, unassuming tools that really make our kitchens work.
These solid standards may not have the glitz of a blender, or the brawny glamour of a stand mixer, but they're the things we reach for over and over when starting a recipe. Here are mine (Faith's) — ten kitchen tools that are always in the dish drainer, waiting to be used again!
It was hard to narrow down exactly what gets the most use, but after a little thought, it seems like these are the tools and cookware that get pulled out of the cupboard over and over again.
10 Smart Yet Inexpensive Kitchen Tools
- Metal mixing bowls - Is any explanation required? I use these for everything, especially the biggest one, which is necessary for everything from mixing coleslaw to big batches of cookies. These bowls are practical and inexpensive.
- Mesh strainer - Multi-use, and lightweight. I reach for this to drain pasta, wash fruit and greens, and to strain tea and soups.
- Chef'n Switchit spatula - My favorite spatula. See more about it here.
- Wooden "tasting" spoon - From Crate & Barrel. There's something about the long handle and the small bowl that makes me reach for this first out of all my many wooden spoons.
- Wood cutting board - Cutting boards are always out in my kitchen. They hold cheese and charcuterie, and then of course I pull them out every time I need to chop something!
- Kiwi paring knife - I love this knife. I bought it at the Wok Shop in San Francisco's Chinatown. It's small, but not too small, and wicked sharp. It's almost like a mini chef's knife.
- Victorinox chef's knife - My favorite chef's knife is this inexpensive Victorinox 8-inch knife. It's under $30, and a fantastic restaurant-quality knife.
- Microplane - Cheese, spices, lemon — my Microplane handles it all. I am constantly using it.
- 3-quart pots - For nightly cooking, I reach for my 3-quart pots. The sauté pan is just right for frittatas and cooking meat. The saucepan is big enough for small batches of pasta, soups, and everything else. When you're cooking for just two or three, these are handy sizes to have around. (These are from Sur La Table's now-discontinued Lagostina line.)
- Commercial-quality sheet pans - These steel baking sheets are about $10 or $15 apiece at restaurant supply stores (or Sur La Table and other cooking shops, although you'll probably pay more there). They don't warp, bend, or scratch. They're completely functional and no-nonsense and they're the only kind of baking sheet I use now.
What are your ten most-used kitchen tools?

Stuff review the Blackberry 10
BlackBerry Z10 Review
BlackBerry Z10 review – overview
The Z10 is for many RIM's (or should we say BlackBerry's) last chance to show us what it's made of – or risk being put to pasture forever. Running the shiny new, feature-laden BlackBerry 10 OS, the flagship handset will be hoping to stand shoulder to shoulder with Android and Apple heavyweights with an HD screen, BBM smarts and revamped BlackBerry World. So has the Z10 got what it takes? It's finally time to find out.
BlackBerry Z10 review – design and build
At first glance, the BlackBerry Z10 could be a slightly taller, slightly wider iPhone 5– that is until you spot the BlackBerry logo adorning the front and textured rubber back cover, which makes it easier to grip than the Galaxy S3. Although it might feel a little flimsy when taken off, the back cover snaps into place easily enough, making the entire handset feel like a solid single-piece unit.
The handset itself is very well built and on par with the creak-free build quality of HTCs, Nokias and iPhones, with a reassuring weight in the hand. It will certainly handle the bumps and scrapes of a working life. And while the new BlackBerry handset is a bit chunky in the bezel department, the fact that BlackBerry 10 is so big on gesture control (more on that later) means that those small areas to rest your thumbs without fretting about opening or closing apps are quite welcome.
We're not ecstatic about the exposed micro USB and HDMI ports down the left hand side, as it doesn't look particularly elegant, but since flaps over ports can be fiddly we're not going to moan too much. On top are the power button and headphone jack, with the volume (and voice search, play/pause) buttons on the right.
One bonus is that the BlackBerry Z10 continues the RIM tradition of microSD slots and removable batteries – two features which are becoming rarer and rarer in the Android world – with the Nexus 4 a prime example of a smartphone that offers neither.
BlackBerry Z10 review – screen
The BlackBerry Z10's 4.2in 1280x768 LCD display packs an Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3-beating 356ppi. The result is a very sharp screen with excellent viewing angles. Colours aren't as saturated as those of the Samsung Galaxy S3's AMOLED display, but that means they're a little more natural.
Side by side comparisons with the iPhone 5 show that Apple's screen has a small edge over the BlackBerry Z10, with slightly more vibrant colours, but the Z10 makes up for it by serving up just a little more detail, helped by those extra pixels. Right now this is the sharpest screen around, although we suspect that record may not last long with the Sony Xperia Z's scorching 1080p display due to arrive imminently.
Overall the Z10 packs a formidable screen, and one that's perfectly proportioned for even the tiniest-handed of users to navigate comfortably with one thumb. It's a shame then, that like the BlackBerry PlayBook, we craved a few more notches of brightness as even at the highest setting the Z10 can appear dim next to its rivals.
BlackBerry Z10 review – camera
Disappointingly, there's no physical button to launch the camera, although you can launch it from the lock screen. Once fired up it takes photos snappily enough, with a simple tap on any part of the screen, plus you can use the volume buttoms if you prefer to get a little more physical.
The main 8MP camera takes photos with a good level of detail, particularly close-up, and offers up even brighter colours than those taken with the Samsung Galaxy S3 – though these aren't always the most accurate. As expected, low-light shots result in plenty of noise and while the Z10's Night mode does help, the S3's Low Light mode gives better results. 1080p video is largely clear and smooth but can be a little soft and prone to a touch of motion blur.
The Z10's camera isn't as feature rich as some Android cams so don't expect to be altering ISO and exposure settings – there's a burst mode and a handful of scenes to choose from but not much else. The BlackBerry Z10's imaging party trick is TimeShift, which lets you mix and match everyone's faces in a group shot for the best possible picture. Altering people's faces individually and stitching them all together is impressive – we reckon it'll genuinely come in useful for those one-chance shots.
BlackBerry Z10 review – power
Despite having a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor (which in this day and age could be considered slow), we happily whizzed around BlackBerry 10 without too many stutters and crashes. Games and multi-tasking were handled with ease, no doubt helped by the 2GB of RAM on offer.
Our time with the Z10 hasn't been freeze-free though with Angry Birds and streaming video occasionally causing problems. And a word of warning, the Z10 takes its time to boot up – between 45 seconds and a minute to get to the homescreen before 'preparing BlackBerry Hub'.
BlackBerry Z10 review – battery life
With a 4.2in HD screen to power, gone are the days of the never-ending BlackBerry battery. We're told standby time on 3G is 300 hours+ and video playback should reach 11 hours but in our intensive test (streaming video over Wi-Fi on full brightness), the Z10 lasted around the five hour mark. We'll update our review with a total battery life very soon.
BlackBerry Z10 review – BlackBerry 10 OS
The greatest hardware in the world is only as good as the software that powers it, which is why the new BlackBerry 10 OS is just as important as the Z10 itself, if not more so. BlackBerry wants a shot at regaining its former glory, which is why its latest OS was built completely from scratch.
So what's different? On first impressions, BB 10 has some nice UI touches like 'breathing' rearrangeable icons, Dropbox and File Manager integration, plus a night mode for the alarm clock that dims the screen and turns off notifications.
BlackBerry Z10 review – BlackBerry 10 gestures, multitasking and BlackBerry Hub
BlackBerry has also decided that it hates buttons. Not just physical ones, but on-screen ones too. Like the PlayBook before it, gestures are used to navigate the OS, and once you get the hang of it, you won't want to go back.
Unlock the Z10 simply by sliding up from the bottom of the display to reveal a homescreen of recently used apps, without having to hit the power button on the top. This is quite useful for checking the weather or your calendar if those apps are open, as they behave similarly to Windows Phone 8's Live Tiles, displaying information in real time. Just slide up, take a peek and let go.
These live apps (or active frames as BlackBerry calls them) on the home screen are BB 10's answer to multi-tasking. Swiping up from the bottom of the Z10 at any time will throw you back to the homescreen where you can close or switch between any open apps. It's more intuitive than hitting the (at times) unpredictable back button in Android, and faster than hitting the physical button of the iPhone 5. It would be near-perfect if there was an option to rearrange these active frames, but for now they're automatically placed in order of use.
BlackBerry 10 also makes it easy to flick to the BlackBerry Hub (all your texts, emails, social network messages in one place) at any time. Flick up and drag to the right to access the Hub no matter what you're doing.
Swiping down from the top of the screen brings up an Android-style settings menu as well as some in-app menus. iPhone and Android users will be a little shocked at the lack of a permanent status bar but BlackBerry 10 is that minimalist. If you want to check your signal or battery, a slight flick up is all that's required, before releasing to go back into a fullscreen app.
BlackBerry Z10 review – BBM, BlackBerry World and apps
BBM is arguably one of RIM's greatest successes, and it returns in BlackBerry 10 with a new video call feature. You can even share your screen in real time – which will be great for business types who want to share important presentations and websites during calls.
Speaking of business, BlackBerry 10 comes with BlackBerry Balance, a feature which essentially separates your phone into two profiles' Personal and Work, separating your personal and business contacts, photos and documents. It sounds like the ideal way to switch off at the weekends, and it would be, if it weren't for the fact you have to be a BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 customer to use it. It's a shame as it could be one of BlackBerry 10's stand out features, allowing people to switch off from their work emails and relax – let's see this roll out to everyone in a future update please, BlackBerry.
On the apps front, RIM is quoting that 70,000 apps are available in BlackBerry World. Although there are some popular downloads like Angry Birds Star Wars, World of Goo and WhatsApp to be found, it's impossible to ignore the fact that BlackBerry 10 is still a long way off from hitting the amount of quality high profile apps found on the App Store and Google Play. It's a problem Windows Phone 8 users will be familiar with, but with RIM offering plenty of incentives to developers to port over apps, we hope the selection will improve over time. For now Google Maps, YouTube and Netflix are sorely missed.
BlackBerry Z10 review – Maps
The Maps application was custom developed for BlackBerry 10 by TeleCommunication Systems, with traffic data supplied by TomTom. Compared to Google's excellent Maps service, BlackBerry Maps is extremely bare and stripped of features. Although it supports turn-by-turn navigation, we couldn't get the navigation arrow to accurately face our correct orientation. You also can't choose walking or public transport routes and there's no satellite or Street View equivalents to be found.
The Maps application is also the only example of consistent stuttering and lag that we found during our time with the BlackBerry Z10, with chunks of the map taking longer to load than others and a few problems connecting to the server. Overall, we think BlackBerry would be better off going the Google route, or at least work on getting a Google Maps app into BlackBerry World stat.
BlackBerry Z10 review – Keyboard
The BlackBerry 10 keyboard is one of the best touchscreen keyboards we've ever used. Its fretted style might be a tribute to RIM's legendary physical QWERTY keyboards of old, but it's got a tonne of fancy tricks up its sleeve.
Its scarily accurate word prediction is fuelled by scanning your existing messages to better understand your typing and language habits. Want to flitter between three different languages? Though it struggled with our bad French, the Z10's keyboard has the tech to automatically detect what language you're trying to type in and predict words accordingly, without having to faff around with settings.
Also as you type, predicted words appear dotted around the keyboard. Simply flick the word you want upwards and carry on typing. It's fast and it's clever, just be careful to touch the word exactly and not the nearest letter.
To top it all off, the BlackBerry 10 keyboard adjusts the sweet spot for each key, depending on how you type. If you keep hitting 't' instead of 'r' for example, the keyboard sweet spot invisibly adjusts accordingly, tailoring itself to your typing style. The only thing missing is haptic feedback.
BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 review – verdict
The BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 OS have been designed to claw back BB's position on the smartphone heap, not to mention silence the naysayers once and for all. The Z10 itself is a solid handset with enough power and pixels to be a respectable flagship, if not quite No.1 in a straight fight with its smartphone rivals. Does it match the features and opportunities for tinkering of Android? No. Does it match the quality and quantity of apps available for the iPhone? No.
But BlackBerry 10's innovative features – from its superb keyboard to the fantastic TimeShift – have got us excited. There's plenty to like and that means the Z10 has plenty of potential. If BlackBerry has enough cash and influence to truly build an iOS-rivalling ecosystem – wince, we hate that word – with all the essential apps, games and movies we demand, then BlackBerry will certainly deserve another chance.

Google has launched an instant-messaging (IM) program that allows text chat and computer-to-computer voice connections, a move that highlights the search giant's increasing competition with Yahoo, Microsoft and America Online. You can download Google Talk here. Google also makes it very clear that you do not need Google Talk to use their service, and they provide detailed instructions on using other IM clients to connect to Google Talk. Update: Micheal Robertson announces partnership with Google to promote the use of open standards in VoIP/IM.

I secretly enjoy it when people go off on rants about the liberal Ivory Tower of academia; it gives me an opportunity to wait until the silly David Horowitz talking points stop flowing from their talk-holes and ask them a few specific questions about the ideological makeup of the typical academic community.
The truth is that the OMG LIBRUL BRAINWASHING hypothesis stands up well only under the conditions necessary for any right wing pet theory to hold up: cherry pick some confirming evidence and ignore everything else. Sure, you're going to find a bunch of bleeding hearts in the Sociology department. Anthropology is basically a hippie commune. Don't even ask about the "Cultural/Media Studies" departments. OK, great. We've just identified about 2% of the faculty and departments at any major university. Now let's take a stroll over to the business school. Or the law school. Or the Econ department. Bastions of left-wing rhetoric, right?
The reality is that every department on every campus could be teeming with True Believer socialists committed to brainwashing their students and the level of indoctrination wouldn't hold a candle to the average two course Macro/Micro sequence in Economics. This is not to say that Econ professors are especially conniving, ideological, or bad at teaching. The problem is simply that teaching Economics in the modern American educational system means teaching Neoliberalism. It's basically Intro to Hayek and Friedman. Fukuyama may have overstated things by declaring the End of History, but we've certainly seen something close to it in Economics. There is nothing but Neoliberalism now. Everything else is quaint, referred to only as a historical curiosity, and worth knowing only inasmuch as it sets up the victorious tomahawk dunks of Neoliberalism.
Some young Harvard students have made waves recently by doing the sort of thing only college undergrads have enough self-importance to do when they walked out of Greg Mankiw's Intro to Macroeconomics class and forwarded an open letter to the media to air their grievances. Mankiw's intellectual dishonesty is well known to veteran readers of this forum, and apparently his teaching is as well rounded as his journalism and commentary. That is, his students seem to think he's teaching a 16 week infomercial for his textbook and the One True Path to Economic Righteousness.
This is news because it happened at Harvard and to an economist with a non-negligible public profile. The reality, though, is that this is pretty much par for the course in that field. Introductory economics classes, as a prerequisite for admission to business schools, pretty much give the Alex P. Keatons of the world what they want. These departments think that intellectual diversity means throwing in a reading from Robert Reich.
This is traditionally justified with appeals to Neoliberalism's often touted empirical rigor. It is "positive" and highly Scientific, thus it can reasonably be put forth as the One True Economics. It's not that economics curricula are biased, it's just that there is only one economic school of thought that makes sense! What do we need multiple theories for when we already have one that explains everything?
Oddly enough, educating Americans to believe that there is one correct economics seems to be correlated with our collective inability to consider any real alternatives politically. Perhaps this is why our solution to every economic dilemma is, "Do it again, only harder." What was that definition of insanity again?


text: What Is a Sterling Filled Medal? What's a Sterling FIlled medal? Sterling Silver Filled (sometimes referred to as "1/20 silver filled") is a strip of sterling silver that is bonded to a base medal. It must be at least 1/20 sterling silver content of the total weight of the medal. It looks the same and wears the same as pure Sterling Silver. Sterling Silver Filled is not silver plating. It's a great durable process that costs only a fraction of a sterling silver medal.

MANHATTAN — A Kansas State University researcher is getting $113,000 over two years to help fight malaria.
Biology research associate Bart Bryant has been awarded the National Institutes of Health's National Research Service Award Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship. The fellowship includes research and mentoring and education components.
Bryant works in a laboratory that focuses on mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases, particularly malaria. He says the work is aimed at understanding how malaria interacts with mosquitoes and why mosquitoes are immune.
The hope is that by understanding how the immune system works, the researchers can eliminate parasites in mosquitoes and possibly find a cure for malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases.

Jim Carrey No Longer Too Gay for America
It's true. We are finally ready to embrace gay Jim Carrey. Also today: a new miniseries about things exploding in olden times starts to come together, important Gossip Girl news, and the truth about babies.
Ridley Scott's production company has teamed up with Sony and some other folks to put together a miniseries based on the book Pompeii, a historical account of the terrible volcano attack suffered by the ancient Greek cavemen or whatever. Roman Polanski was originally supposed to direct the thing as a feature film, but he's creepy and it would be better as a miniseries anyway, so here you go. (Even though he's named Roman and everything!) Hopefully it will be on a Rome level and not on a The Big One level. [THR]
Squealll!!! Horrible Jenny of horrible Gossip Girl might be leaving the show! Or at least taking a hiatus. Something "very big" is happening with the character at the end of the season (boarding school? fatal handbag catastrophe?) and then she'll be gone for an indefinite amount of time. Roman Polanski was originally going to do the story as a feature film, but Jenny's like fifteen, so... you know. Anyway, we've heard through the grapevine that Jenny actress Taylor Momsen hates being on the show, so maybe she finally got her wish and can go wear fashions and smoke cigarettes in peace. [EW]
Workhorse actor Delroy Lindo has been cast in the new show from Shawn Ryan (The Shield). In Ride-Along, he'll play a shady politician/business man with possible ties to organized crime. So he'll basically play the city of Providence. And the state of New Jersey. And the country of Russia. [THR]
Here is an attractive young man who will play the new attractive young man on Friday Night Lights. He was previously seen as the attractive young man on Greek and Lincoln Heights. He is meant to make up for the depatures of Zach Gilford and Taylor Kitsch, also attractive young men. [EW]
Aha! I Love You, Phillip Morris — Jim Carrey's big gay movie with big gay Ewan MacGregor as big gay lovers that was too big and gay for America — has gotten a new release date! It will open in limited release on July 30th. So the country's horribly divisive gay problems are now completely solved. Good news. [Variety]
Has Hollywood unlocked the incredible power of babies? It appears that it might have. [THR]
