Scream 4 wasn't really the huge hit that the Weinstein Company and fans of the franchise were hoping for-- despite some pretty positive reviews it opened to just $18 million, and so far has grossed $87 million worldwide, barely half of Scream 3's $161 million internationally. Add to the fact that Wes Craven was pretty vocal about how uninterested he actually was in the making the movie, and it seemed the Weinstein Company would be pretty happy to take the money they made off the profitable film and call it a day.
But no! Harvey Weinstein, speaking with MTV at Cannes, said the movie will likely break $110 million worldwide, and he's so confident there will be another one he's already counting on Craven's participation too:
"I'm sure [director Wes Craven is] going to do a sequel, I'm sure he's going to do a sequel. Foreign [sales] are so strong that we'll do over $100 million worldwide. It's at $90 now, with about five or six major countries to go and a lot of small ones. We'll probably do $110 million. I wish it would have been better domestically. But it's not the worst thing in the world that's ever happened."
Weinstein also re-emphasized what Craven told us about potential plans for Scream 5 and Scream 6, namely that screenwriter Kevin Williamson had an idea for a trilogy from the very beginning, and that the main idea behind making Scream 4 was in fact to kick off a new franchise. So thanks to being run by a group of people who don't know the meaning of the phrase "leave well enough alone," the Scream juggernaut will keep trucking along whether you want it or not. And much as I really did enjoy Scream 4, this really doesn't some necessary. Any die hard Scream fans out there who want to take the Weinstein Company's side here?

Quiche often graces the table of Easter brunches, but everything that's good about quiche happens to be what's not good for us.
It's rich. It's creamy. It's filled with cheese. And then there is the crust. The buttery crust that holds it all together is not so great for the body. So we decided to do a little remake.
The easy thing to reach for is the frittata. Like an oven-baked omelet, frittatas are easy and puffy and can be filled with lots of delicious ingredients. The only problem is that traditional frittatas are made without a crust. We wanted a crust. We also wanted at least some of the creaminess that makes a quiche, well, a quiche.
For the crust, we opted for a layer of shredded potatoes. They crisp nicely, adding that starchiness that the crust provides, but little of the fat.
For the creamy texture, we went with fat-free half-and-half and eggs studded with lean ham, asparagus, shallots and a touch of gruyere cheese. You can swap out whatever you like for your fillings, but be sure the ingredients are cooked before they go in.
Easter Frittata
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 8
1 cup chopped asparagus (1-inch lengths)
4 egg whites
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 shallots, sliced
3/4 cup diced smoked ham
2 cups shredded frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
Heat the oven to 400 F. Fill a medium bowl with ice water.
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 3 minutes, or until just tender. Use a slotted spoon to remove the asparagus from the boiling water and immediately transfer to the ice water. Once the asparagus is cool, drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine the egg whites, whole eggs, fat-free half-and-half, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth. Stir in the shredded gruyere.
In a nonstick, oven-safe skillet (cast iron works great) over medium, heat the oil. Add the shallots and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft. Add the ham, asparagus and the blended egg mixture. Stir for 1 minute, or until the egg just starts to set up.
Sprinkle the shredded potatoes over the top and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake for 5 minutes on the oven's center rack, or until the eggs are set. Increase the oven to broil and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the potatoes are crisp and lightly browned.

Australian Webber won impressively in Monaco and Britain last season but otherwise struggled for consistency as he finished a distant sixth in the Formula One drivers' championship.
Vettel clinched a third straight title in thrilling fashion at the final race in Brazil in November, having won five grands prix over the course of the campaign.
Although Red Bull insist both men have equal standing and are free to race each other, Marko said Webber was aware of where he stood heading into the new season.
"Mark knows what we expect of him," Marko told German newspaper Sport Bild.
"For four years, Vettel and Webber have driven together in our team. Sebastian was runner-up once and champion three times.
"The statistic speaks for itself. There is no reason to think the balance of power will change."
Webber signed a new one-year deal with Red Bull after his victory at Silverstone in July.
The 36-year-old said finding the right time to retire would be crucial, but he is yet to decide when he will call it quits.
"I haven't been there yet but it is going to be a very difficult moment, no question about it," Webber told GP International magazine.
"I suppose it's just about getting the timing right - not pulling the plug too early, knowing you have more to give of yourself, or going too long and not being quick enough or struggling to do the things you used to be able to do.
"That can become an issue as well."

for the last couple of yrs i've been flyin bandit 3s 8m & 11m. still really like them for the most part but...
they are getting old,
im starting to get into wave riding
finding the 11m is sometimes too much bar pressure for 1 hand and gives me tennis elbow.
i have flown the Wainman 12m and it was fine with one hand.
bandits i feel pulling me off the waves more compared to the few times out on the Wainman (probably my poor skills)
i think i could probably cover the same wind range with the 7.5 and 10.5 Wainmans with both a TT and surfboard as much as i did on the bandits on just a TT. love the carrot bar but feel the bandits are a bit more responsive. undecided.....
would love to hear opinions from people who have flown both and how the new bandits compare to the old ones?

Dear Mr. Stan Tomov,
I have compiled the testing_sgemm and executed it on my GTX 480M using Visual Studio 2010.
Because I've run into problems building magma 1.1.0 with Visual Studio, I ended up just grabbing from the library
testing_sgemm and sgem_fermi*.* files - just for the performance testing purposes (I couldn't get the whole thing to build, but when we start using magma for the project, I will need to build the whole thing with Visual Studio)
However, I am consistently getting the following results:
test_Sgemm_fermi(1024x1024): dSeconds=0.624246, gflops=3.440124
test_cublasSgemm(1024x1024): dSeconds=0.006688, gflops=321.117214
test_Sgemm_fermi(1280x1280): dSeconds=1.241110, gflops=3.379477
test_cublasSgemm(1280x1280): dSeconds=0.011544, gflops=363.324047
test_Sgemm_fermi(1600x1600): dSeconds=2.298245, gflops=3.564459
test_cublasSgemm(1600x1600): dSeconds=0.022207, gflops=368.893005
test_Sgemm_fermi(2000x2000): dSeconds=3.159041, gflops=5.064828
I have tried the following variations of the sgemm_fermi functions: magmablas_sgemm_fermi64 and magmablas_sgemm_fermi80
but the performance was similar.
Apparently I am doing something wrong. Ideally I would like to get the reported performance of >800 GFlops (or perhaps smaller for GTX 480M).
Could you, please help me?
Thank you,

Now that Egypt's first democratically elected president has been removed from office by the country's powerful military, the United States can try to use its leverage to get what it would like see: a return to constitutional order and an elected government, through elections including all of Egypt's political factions, in short order.
But US ability to influence events and leaders in Egypt is scant, as ex-President Mohammed Morsi's year in power and Tuesday's coup against him demonstrate.
Although most Egyptians seem to suspect that America's heavy hand is behind every major move in their country, it is evident that the Obama administration, starting with President Obama, was unable to deter Mr. Morsi from his authoritarian drift over recent months. Nor was it able to dissuade the Egyptian military, with which the US has long ties, from ousting Morsi and arresting him and dozens of other officials from Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood.
On Friday, the military intervened against pro-Morsi rallies across Egypt, with resulting violence claiming the lives of at least six demonstrators, according to news reports.
One explanation for this lack of US influence, some regional experts and critics of US policy say, is that the US has been reluctant to use its main leverage with Egypt – the $1.6 billion in annual aid (most of it military assistance) that makes Egypt the second-largest recipient of US aid, after Israel – to pressure leaders in their actions. The US should suspend that aid now, they say, to make clear to Egypt's new military-backed powers that the US and the international community are demanding that certain steps – new elections, delivery of a new constitution – occur quickly.
But for others, America's lack of influence is primarily a result of the little attention the US has paid to Egypt – even as this key Arab ally underwent a tumultuous and region-influencing revolution.
"We've been highly disengaged from Egypt over the past few years, and we've not built much of a relationship, haven't been very active with the broad range of actors playing a role in Egypt today," says Robert Danin, a former deputy assistant secretary of State for Near Eastern affairs who is now a Middle East senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Affairs in Washington. "To the extent that we seem powerless now," he adds, "it's in part because we've not been clear about what we've wanted and the seriousness we attribute to it."
The US ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson, became a stand-out target of anti-Morsi demonstrators in the days preceding the president's ouster. But if Ambassador Patterson came to symbolize a perceived US acquiescence to Morsi's accumulation of powers and trampling of basic freedoms, it's because neither the White House nor the State Department had been very public about US concerns over Morsi's drift, some analysts say.
Now the US has something of a "second chance," Mr. Danin says – but he cautions that, especially where the US is starting from, it can't expect to simply order the results it wishes to see.
"There's a difference between Egypt accepting our diktats and our having an influence," he says. "I'd argue that when we are engaged we can have tremendous influence."
What happens in Egypt and its next direction are important enough to the US and its interests in the region that Mr. Obama should speak publicly and clearly about it in coming days, some analysts say.
Others say the US can send the clearest and most powerful signal by suspending aid to Egypt. Indeed, many say the US has no choice but to suspend aid, because the Foreign Assistance Act stipulates that no aid – other than democracy-promotion assistance – can go to "any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by a military coup d'etat."
Given that, "a suspension of aid is required by US law," says Daniel Calingaert, executive vice president of Freedom House in Washington. But suspending aid, he adds, "would also serve the purpose of exercising leverage that the US has been far to hesitant to use until now." What the US must do now, he says, is "push Egypt's interim government to set a date for presidential and parliamentary elections, respect the fundamental rights of all Egyptians, and bring all major political currents, including the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, into discussions about the country's way forward."
CFR's Danin agrees that military assistance probably should be suspended. But more important still, he says, would be to lay out to Egyptians a set of "incentives and disincentives" defining what the US expects to see in the weeks going forward – and how the US proposes to help Egypt get there.
"There is a middle ground between simply imposing our will and disengaging," he says. "We need to work on finding it."

SmartStart for Proficy Change Management solution announced
Many companies are faced with increasing safety, reliability and regulatory compliance requirements, yet manufacturing IT organizations often lack the tools to adequately manage changes in the mission-critical software that controls their processes.
"All too often, changes are made by unauthorized users, without the benefit of an audit trail, or plants suffer additional downtime during backup recovery when the wrong software version is loaded," says Claire Cerrato, general manager of automation software for GE Intelligent Platforms. "Beyond the added costs, real safety and product quality situations can arise when interlocks are bypassed or older parameters are used."
SmartStart for Proficy Change Management addresses these problems by combining GE Intelligent Platform's full-featured change management software with a rapid engagement model to quickly automate and improve change management processes.
Proficy Change Management software helps organizations assess, monitor, manage, control, and lower project and maintenance costs associated with software and device management. In addition, by providing traceability and notification of changes, it drives increased efficiency of personnel, and as a result, productivity.
SmartStart delivers functionality in a low-risk, extremely rapid manner by using a proven, template- based approach to implementing automated change management in plant systems.
Functions of the combined solution include the following:
"With SmartStart , users can fully understand and evaluate the power of Proficy for 30 days with minimal upfront cost or risk of customization," says Cerrato. "Throughout the evaluation, companies invest only in the services that help get them started, and receive the latest software licenses at no cost for the duration of the evaluation period. SmartStart for Proficy Change Management leverages proven products and best practices, and combines the right blend of solution components for a specific industry application or process. It gives manufacturers an easy way to get started and allows for future expansion for true operational excellence."
SmartStart includes access to the right mix of Proficy software components; a fixed set of services to install the system, train teams, and support the evaluation; a structured engagement model that leverages best practices; availability of an entry-priced server module and pre-loaded, pre-configured server package; and access to GlobalCare technical support.
Separately, GE Intelligent Platforms launched its industrial gateway server 7.5 for data acquisition, visualization and control with Proficy software. Industrial Gateway Server (IGS) 7.5 drivers for the company's Proficy software use Kepware KEPServerEX technology and includes more than 100 protocols. The software lets users consolidate information from different control hardware and instruments to visualize, control, analyze and optimize processes via connected Proficy HMI/SCADA, MES, EMI or Workflow software. It is designed to use the maximum possible speed supported by the devices, and has built-in diagnostics for communication errors and complete browsing functionality into devices.

New Delhi, Nov 17: The union sports ministry is working on a plan to make India a top-10 sporting nation by 2020 and the first step in that direction is to double the budget for training athletes.
New Sports Minister Jitendra Singh told IANS that he was keen on carrying forward the good work done by his predecessor Ajay Maken and promised all possible support to the country's top athletes.
"Ajay Maken did a great job as sports minister and I am going to take that forward. Not only we are looking at providing better facilities to our top athletes preparing for major events like the Olympics and at the same time our focus will also be on finding the talented youngsters and nurturing them," said the sports minister here Saturday.
The ministry spent Rs.678 crore for the athletes' training ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games and Rs.260 crore for the London Olympics. The support helped India to put up their best-ever performance in the two Games.
Sports Secretary P.K. Deb, who accompanied the minister on his rounds of the various stadiums created for the Commonwealth Games, told IANS that the ministry was looking at an raising the allocation to Rs.250 crore a year from the current Rs.125 crore.
"The budget for athletes will be almost double of what it is right now. We are just waiting for the approval of the finance ministry. Our target is to be amongst the top-10 sporting nations of the world. Doing well in the 2014 Commonwealth Games and Asian Games the same year and in other major events is part of the plan for the 2020 goal," said Deb.
"Half of the money will be spent at the junior and sub-junior levels," he added.
Maken had earlier set a target of 25 medals in the 2020 Summer Games.
India had bagged a record two silver medals and four bronze at the London Olympics earlier this year.

I am finally able to share with you this Bushel and A Peck Pillow, which is one of the very first projects I made with the new Cricut Explore machine. You may remember when I shared with you about how I came to love Cricut's new machine. I shared with you a sneak peak of this pillow and many of you asked how you could get one for yourself! Well today is that day (and yes…there are STILL no pictures in my photo frames…ha…I give up ;)…
I, for one, particularly LOVE this pillow and project. My mom used to sing this to us when we were little. I think that many of you may feel the same way about this fun little song. So I thought, since I have sung it to my kids, it would be fun to display it in our home.
I simply made a pillow cover using this pillow cover tutorial I have shared with you earlier. I made it out of a painter's drop cloth. I have almost used up that drop cloth now after using it for several pillows and other projects around my home.
Then, using the Cricut Design Space, I designed this fun phrase from the song and cut it out in vinyl. You can cut it out in iron on transfer material if you want, but I wanted to stencil the words on so that it had a more faded vintage look to it. Either way will work great, depending on your own tastes.
I used the vinyl as a stencil for the pillow and stenciled it on with some black fabric paint.
Be sure to put a piece of paper or cardboard in between the layers of fabric (especially if you use a thinner fabric) so that the paint does not bleed through onto the back of the pillow.
Then after it has dried completely, put your pillow insert in the pillow cover and display in your child's room, nursery or family room. Right now it is sitting in our family room. We had it there for Valentine's as part of our decor…but I have left it out on display because it makes me happy when I see it. It is a good reminder of when my babies…were…well babies. I kinda miss that stage!
One of my favorite things about working with Cricut is that you can now MAKE this EXACT project with the click of one button on your own Cricut Explore Machine. Seriously…how awesome is that?!
It will cut out exactly how I have it here, or you can change it up a bit to fit the size and needs of your own style. Want to print it out for a painted sign? Or put on a blanket? You can do that too…
And? If you don't have a new Cricut Explore machine, stay tuned…we have something exciting in the works!

FOOD-THE DISH- Iron chefs? Chefs display culinary metal
Forget Buff Bagwell, Stone Cold, and The Rock–Dish brings you The Ianator and Hungry Humphrey, two local chefs getting ready to rumble in Charlottesville's first-ever "Chef Ten" competition.
Jacie Dunkle at Fellini's #9 is sponsoring the July 25 event, saying it's loosely based on the infamous Japanese "Iron Chef" competition, which pits one chef against another. In one corner, there'll be Ian Donahue from West Main, and in the other it's Fellini's own Chris Humphrey.
Using the same secret ingredient (white nectarines, Dunkle tells Dish) in each of three courses, the two chefs will battle it out first at West Main and then at Fellini's #9. Guests and judges will meet at West Main to sample Donahue's three courses, then move over to Fellini's #9 for Humphrey's three. In addition, each course will be paired with wine selected by Dereck Robinson from Country Vintner, a large wine distributor in Louisa County, and with a presentation by Elinor Howell from In Vino Veritas, a wine, gourmet food, and cigar market in Keswick.
"Since neither West Main nor Fellini's have a large enough kitchen to house both chefs simultaneously," says Dunkle. "I thought this spliting of the courses would work. So I hope it turns out to be fun and a great experience for the chefs and the guests"
Each course will be judged on a scale of 1 to 10, with each course winning in its own category. The chef with the highest overall score will be crowned ChefTen!
Dunkle says the judges will be the participating guests, who can make reservations by calling her at 434-979-4279 ($70/person or $130/couple plus tax and gratuity), plus Chris Arseneault from Seafood @ West Main, Brooke Fedora from Horse & Hound, and freelance entertainment writer Jessica Calloway.
But hurry! Dunkle says reservations for the culinary showdown are limited.
Sweet good-bye peas
Back in March, Dish was skeptical about Sweet Peas Bistro owner Joanna Yoakam's plan to unload her Palmyra restaurant by "giving it away" to a lucky essay writer. The idea was to charge each essay writer a $199 entry fee, with the winning entry taking over the concept, the lease, and all the equipment for free. Yoakam figured if she got enough entries she could pay off her existing debt, plus give a lucky restaurant owner a debt-free head start.
"Why not do it this way?" she told Dish. "I love the idea that we're going to change the course of someone's life. I love that my employees will have a say in who comes on board. Mathematically, it makes sense. We will pay off our remaining business debt, and someone else will be able to start off without that monkey on their back."
Well, while Dish loved the idea, it appears Yoakam didn't get as many entries as she expected.
"Although we received many entries for our contest," she says, "we did not receive enough to follow through with it in the end. We are selling the restaurant in the traditional way."
Yoakam says they've had several interested buyers, but nothing in ink yet. Although Sweet Peas closed its doors on June 30, Yoakam appears to have no regrets.
"We had one hell of a good-bye bash," she says.
Scottsville reports
Our Scottsville connection, Deep Palate, says Minor's Diner is expanding and opened up an entirely new dining area– to accommodate its growing popularity, it seems. Nearby, 330 Valley, the deli/bar/restaurant opening up in the old Rivertown Rose spot, has been delayed due to extensive renovations, which include a room for pool tables and pinball machines. And the long-talked about Horseshoebend Tavern, a project first started by 330 Valley's owners, is still on hold, as the owners are hustling to finish the 330 Valley project first.
Looks like that little town in the horseshoe bend of the James just might survive its culinary woes after all. We at Dish are keeping out fingers crossed.

Such was the case Monday night as the Lady Bisons tried to shake off the rust of 20 days without game. It took them 20 minutes to get their game back in form, but it was too late as South Alabama, a Sun Belt Conference team, won 61-50 at Allen Arena.
The Lady Bisons spotted the Lady Jaguars an 8-0 lead in the first half. Sparked by six 3-point field goals; the Lady Jaguars led by as many as 19 points in the first 20 minutes. South Alabama held a 35-19 advantage at intermission.
"We put ourselves in a big hole in the first half," Bennett said. "Probably part of that was the layoff.
"You don't want to make an excuse of it. But over the years the first game after Christmas has been a tough game for us to play. The second game after we come back is usually much better than the first one."
In the first half the Lady Bisons hit only seven of 31 attempts from the field. They did not score their first field goal until guard Jenna Bartsokas sank a deep 3-pointer with 12:31 left on the clock.
The Lady Bisons started a rally In the second half. With 15:18 left in the game guard Anna Bowers connected on a 3-pointer to trim South Alabama's lead to 38-28. They would cut the South Alabama lead to 10 points four more times, but could not cut it to single digits.
The Lady Bisons outscored South Alabama 31-26 in the second half.
With 8:21 left to play the Lady Bisons cut the South Alabama lead to 11 at 48-37 on a jumper by post player Brittany Duerk.
Morgan Faulkner hit a pair of free throws to again cut the South Alabama lead to 10 points at 56-46 with 1:58 remaining.
Bartsokas scored on a 3-pointer, her third of the game, with 15 seconds left to play. Bowers went to the line to shoot two shots and hit one with two seconds remaining to trim the lead to 11.
Bartokas led the Lady Bisons with 13 points. Forward Leah McAlister led the team with eight rebounds.
"We didn't shoot the ball well at all," Bennett said. "We were 8-of-16 on free throws in the second half and a lot of those were one-and-ones so we left some points on the floor there.
"We got some good looks from the 3-point line in the second half. South Alabama is a very good defensive team so it is hard to get looks. We just didn't knock down as many as we needed to hit."
Bartsokas also had a game-high five steals.
"Jenna can do a lot of things for us," Bennett said. "She can take care of the ball, score and defend."
South Alabama held a 53-44 advantage on the boards, including 17 offensive rebounds.
"Second shots hurt us," Bennett said. "We gave up stuff that we could control."
The Lady Bisons are 2-10 overall. South Alabama is 6-6.
Lady Bisons assistant coach Billy Snell missed the game due to illness.
The Lady Bisons, 0-2 in Atlantic Sun Conference play, return to conference competition Jan. 2 at Allen Arena when Stetson visits at 1 p.m. The Bisons will face Stetson at approximately 3:15.

SPRINGFIELD -- The Illinois House took steps on Memorial Day to make things a bit easier for the state's veterans.
Currently, veterans have to show their discharge papers or other proof of service to establish their credentials when accessing state-offered programs for former military personnel, said sponsoring Rep. Mike Fortner, R-West Chicago. Under this measure, veterans would be able to have their status marked on a state ID, including a driver's license.
The House voted 112-0 to send the bill to the Senate, where supporters hope the bill can be approved before the legislature is set to adjourn by the Thursday midnight deadline.
Fortner said some veterans, including his late father, have papers that are more than 50 years old. This legislation would simplify the process and make sure no one is using someone else's papers.
"I can at least tell you from my own father's papers. You get one set of papers. They're issued when you're discharged. They're never updated," Fortner said. "We offer these services, and those services do the veteran no good if they're discouraged because they couldn't find their papers.
"I just think it's wonderful we had a chance to vote on this on Memorial Day, of all special days."

Next Meetup
What we're about
A group of folks in the Greater Washington DC area bound by the belief that life is best taken one step at a time. Events are primarily day hikes (from easy to difficult), but include other outdoor activities and occasional social ones.
"It's quite a feet" hike rating:
- Easy, less than 2 blisters
- Moderate, 2 to 3.5 blisters
- Difficult, greater than 3.5 blisters
where 1 blister = about 5 mi., or about 2500' up or down.
Events are often also listed on the websites of the Sierra Club Potomac Region Outings (SCPRO; www.sierrapotomac.org) and/or the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) Washington DC Chapter (www.amc-dc.org).
For members used to Meetup groups: There are no stupid Meetup reminders (unless I forget to check the box); instead, you'll get one or two emails per month from me about upcoming events. I've been told this is much more annoying.
Finally, RSVP'ing on Wandering Soles for events is nice, but does not imply a commitment. If an event is limited in participation or requires a registration, you'll be asked to RSVP directly to a (hopefully) live human being.
Photo albums of all our wanderings may be found at http://www.goo.gl/YMPNso .

The Ravens have a few things on their shopping list for the NFL draft, but the top prospects will be scooped up by the time they step up to the podium for pick No. 26. But what if the Ravens somehow were handed the top pick in the draft?
Yes, I know, this isn't going to happen. But a little fantasy drafting should be fun to discuss.
In this hypothetical, the Ravens could take one of the draft's elite cornerbacks in Patrick Peterson or Prince Amukamara. They could select A.J. Green or Julio Jones to add a big-play receiver to the offense. Or they could add a dangerous pass rusher in Da'Quan Bowers or Von Miller.
Heck, they could even take Cam Newton if they wanted to.
You tell me: If you're filling in for Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome and you can have any player in this year's NFL draft, who would you take?

To try to wow consumers, some entrepreneurs are giving their food products an ethnic twist by sprinkling in ancient spices. They're adding everything from ginger and turmeric to more exotic spices like Shichimi (Japanese seven-flavor chili) to tickle the taste buds.
"Americans love flavorful foods," says Tammy Katz, chief executive at Katz Marketing Solutions, a food and beverage marketing consulting firm in Columbus, Ohio. In addition, "nutritionally conscious consumers are increasingly aware of the health benefits of these spices."

VintageModern Design Challenge: Modern Day/Vintage feel
Added Mar 12, 2012
Medford, New Jer...
I chose the vintage Slip-On Jumper Dress for my inspiration! As soon as I printed the page with the pattern, it hit me as to what I needed to do:) I love Dior's 'New Look'. He was my inspiration for this outfit. I have always admired his defining waistline and flared skirts or peplums and the femine look he created.I followed the exact directions for measuring my body and transferred all of the markings to musllin first, adding 6" to the bottom measurments. I then cut both the front and back pieces at 4 " below the hip measurements.
I prettty much followed the pattern but used inverted pleats on the top at the wasitline instead of a belt. I also chose to use buttons instead of a front seam and I went without the sleeve so the jacket had to be lined.
As for the bottom of the pattern, I reversed the 'skirt' and used the seam up the back with an invisible zipper and used pleats along the front of the skirt (as I did in the Jacket) as well as darts for a fitted design. I did use an interfacing to stabilize the waist and I lined the skirt as well for comfort.
I enjoyed this project as it allowed me to use a very simple pattern and turn it into a very modern design including my favorite come-back the peplum hem! With the fitted and slightly shorter cut jacket lining, I was able to give the peplum a bit of flounce, yet I used vintage buttons and a lace cami to keep to a 'vintage age' look. I was thrilled to add a waist defining midsection and will definitely be making more variations of this design. Next a flat A-frame peplum and skirt just like Dior's 1947 "New look' suit. Can't wait to get started!!

Neither rain nor lightening stopped the Salt Lake Bees on Saturday night. But Sacramento? That's a different story. Right-hander Jesse Chavez allowed two hits over the first five innings and Josh Horton drilled a tie-breaking double in the top of the ninth inning to lead the River Cats to a 9-7 victory over Salt Lake at Spring Mobile Ballpark. Sacramento never trailed, but it squandered a 7-1 lead when the Bees scored three runs in the seventh and eighth innings. In the top of the ninth, however, Horton doubled home one run and Stephen Parker added another RBI double, sending Salt Lake to its fifth loss in six outings. In a game delayed at the start for two hours by a wicked storm, Sacramento jumped to a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Shane Peterson led off with a single and advanced to second on an infield out. Horton followed with a run-scoring single up the middle. Salt Lake, meanwhile, struggled against Chavez. The Bees managed only two base runners in the first three innings. In the bottom of the first, Luis Jimenez singled up the middle with two out. But he was stranded when Ryan Langerhans flied out. In the third, Peter Bourjos coaxed a two-out walk off Chavez. But Trevor Crowe grounded out, ending the inning. At that point, the River Cats extended their lead to 3-0 on Parker's run-scoring double in the fourth and Grant Green's RBI double into the left field corner in the fifth. In the bottom of the sixth, the Bees finally broke through when Crowe singled and went to third on Hank Conger's two-out base hit. Doug Deeds singled home Crowe to make it 3-1, but Cory Aldridge fanned to retire the side. That set the stage for Sacramento's four-run seventh, which was highlighted by Green's homer. It wasn't enough, however, The Bees tied the game in the eighth on Bourjos' RBI single, only to lose it again in the ninth when the Cats fought back against losing pitcher Ryan Brasier. Before the game, the Bees lost catcher John Hester and left-handed pitcher Andrew Taylor, who were called up by the parent Los Angeles Angels. Hester appeared in 26 games for Salt Lake. He was hitting .217 with four doubles, three home runs and 13 RBIs. Hester played in 38 games with the Angels early in the season. He hit .212 with one double, three homers and four RBIs for L.A. Taylor appeared in 16 games for the Bees, all in relief. He owned a 1-0 record with a 3.50 earned run average. In 37 games at Double-A Arkansas, Taylor posted a 2-4 record with a 4.61 ERA. His first appearance with the Angels will be his major-league debut.

Julia's Reading Corner
Melissa has a passion for children's books and has passed on this love to her daughter, Julia. She figured it was high time she create a cozy environment for Julia to read at home. She shares: I write a blog children's books and you know that saying about the 'cobbler's children having no shoes'? Well recently I came to the very important realization that my daughter Julia's bookcase needed to be...ACTUALLY IN HER ROOM. It had been in her closet for four years!
I wanted a cozy space where she could actually see her books and be able to pull them out easily within arm's reach of her reading chair. In addition to the bookcase, we've got the 'Library Box' right next to it, as well as the 'Paperback Book Box' -- apparently having a bookcase still hasn't been successful in keeping our book collection under control!
Julia's collection of special treasures and knickknacks is also in the bookcase, and we framed and hung art that she made on the wall. I really wanted to make the space representative of her spirit and her interests!
The book corner is right behind her bed, so the area is semi-sequestered away from the rest of the room -- it's such a thrill for me to see Julia in her little book corner happily flipping through her books, many of which are the very same ones I read as a child.
Thanks Melissa! Readers, visit Melissa on her book-focused blog, Julia's Bookbag.

Mar 02,2007 00:00
Once upon an epoch, the forces of natural selection were pretty easy to spot: the lurking lion, the poisonous fruit, the deadly chill or prolonged drought.
Early humans who recognized these dangers - who survived by being smarter, faster, stronger or simply luckier - lived long enough to reproduce. Over millions of years, they perpetuated a species that became, in many ways, even smarter, faster and stronger.
To be sure, it's not so easy to see human evolution at work these days. That it's still happening is not in dispute (at least among the vast majority of scientists), but the factors that influence our evolutionary path have clearly changed.
There aren't so many lions now. Poisonous fruit gets labeled; antidotes invented. No chill or drought seems likely to be big enough or severe enough to threaten a human population that exceeds 6.5 billion people worldwide.
In just 10,000 years or so, humans have changed the world. In doing so, we have also changed the way we will change.
It's a fundamental principle of evolutionary theory that successful species never stop evolving. The process may not be continuous, but it is ongoing and inevitable. Stagnation equals extinction, the thinking goes, even in humans.
"This is perhaps not surprising," said Bruce Lahn, a geneticist at the
Future evolutionary changes in humans, however, are likely to be less dramatic and not easily observed.
Some scientists point, for example, to our wisdom teeth, which appear to be evolving into oblivion. Two reasons are commonly cited: First, as our brains got bigger, there was less room in the jaw for a third set of molars. Second, wisdom teeth are no longer needed. Early humans required big, heavy teeth to bite and chew through uncooked food. The modern diet is considerably less demanding. The result: A progressively shrinking jaw and more cases of people whose wisdom teeth simply don't come in.
But there's hard evidence of genetic change in humans, too.
In 2004, Lahn and colleagues published data indicating that at least two genes related to human brain size and function have significantly mutated over the past 60,000 years.
More recently, Sarah Tishkoff, a geneticist at the
Tishkoff found, however, that among a few ethnic groups in
With continued access to milk nutrients and a buffer in times of drought, lactose-tolerant individuals prospered in comparison to those who lacked the gene mutation. Tishkoff estimates they produced perhaps 10 times more descendants, thus spreading the genetic adaptation.
Boiled down, evolution happens when genetic change - random mutations in DNA - significantly interacts with natural selective forces. The famous finches of the Galapagos Islands, an archipelago of 13 main islands 600 miles west of
Though the finch species were closely related, Charles Darwin ultimately noted that each had adapted its beak to meet the particular environmental demands of the island where it lived. Some birds developed thick beaks to crack indigenous nuts and seeds. On other islands, finches had long, narrow beaks to feed upon cactus pulp or stubby beaks to eat insects.
These examples of "radiative adaptation" required isolation. For an organism to evolve into a new species, it must exist apart from the whole in a sustaining but small enough population that any newly evolved trait can be quickly embraced by the group. That condition no longer applies to people.
"The human population is now so very large and varied that it is hard to imagine that any one new trait that is successful in one group can spread genetically to the entire population in any reasonable period of time," said Dr. Ajit Varki, a professor of cellular and molecular medicine at UCSD.
Significant human evolution probably stopped 50,000 to 100,000 years ago, before the races diverged, said Steven Pinker, a professor of psychology at
Added Varki: "Natural selection in the classic sense of the word is no longer operative in humans."
But the process, say both scientists, continues nonetheless. The difference is what's driving it.
"Technology and culture are responsible for most of the changes in human lifestyle in the past 10,000 years," said Pinker.
Think about it this way, suggests Jared Diamond, a noted UCLA biogeographer. Imagine all human history compressed into a single day - 24 hours. From midnight, when human beings first appear on Earth, through dawn, noon and deep into the night, they are hunter-gatherers, living in small groups, barely eking out an existence.
It's not until 11:54 p.m., Diamond observes in "The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal," that agriculture is discovered. And in the last six minutes of humanity's compressed history (10,000 years ago to today), the world has been transformed. Cities have arisen. Writing has been invented, as have cars, refrigeration, antibiotics and the scientific method.
Peter Richerson, a professor of environmental science at
"We argue they have played the leading role: Technology and social organizations evolving through cultural means, then genes responding."

In this feedback loop of culture, technology and biology, scientists say, selection is still at work.
"Culture in general and technology in particular don't eliminate selection pressures," said Daniel Dennett, a professor of philosophy and co-director of
Pinker at Harvard agrees: "In countries with vaccination and antibiotics, for example, there might be less selection for resistance to certain infectious diseases, but perhaps more selection for resistance to atherosclerosis and Type II diabetes."
More profoundly, culture and technology give humans the power to consciously rewrite the rules of evolution. Modern medicine - and rapidly advancing reproductive technologies - mean people can produce offspring for more of their lives.
Global transportation and communications mean people and influences are broadly spread.
And it's all happening faster than ever. Even if biological evolution is proceeding at its usual pace, said Nick Bostrom, director of the Future of Humanity Institute at
"Significant evolution usually takes a large number of generations," he said, "but technology and culture now change substantially within a single generation."
"In the not-so-distant future," said Lahn at the
"Instead of the traditional Darwinian process that has dominated the evolution of life for the last several billion years since its inception (whereby mutations are introduced randomly and subsequently selected according to fitness), humans will be able to introduce non-random, designated changes to their own genetic makeup."
Which brings up the obvious question: What will we look like?
Over the years, various researchers and futurists have taken stabs at predicting the evolutionary fate of humans. These prognostications run the gamut, from a generally homogenized monoculture not unlike domestic cattle (in which everybody looks and behaves pretty much like everybody else) to a race of uber-humans who have been modified genetically, pharmacologically, mechanically and electronically.
Last year, an English economist published an essay in which he offered some specific predictions. Over the next several centuries, wrote Oliver Curry in a "think piece" commissioned by Bravo Television to celebrate its 21st anniversary, humans would diverge into two basic groups: a genetically improved upper class and a dimwitted underclass.
The former, Curry suggested, would be tall (6 feet to 7 feet), slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent and creative (thanks to embedded computer chips). The average life span would be 120 years.
Conversely, the underclass would be squat, ugly, stupid and short-lived.
Curry's specificity garnered lots of headlines and plenty of ridicule.
"The question to ask is this," said Dennett at Tufts. "What features are shared by most of the people having babies that survive to have babies of their own?
"In different environments, different pressures may well dominate. If pandemics or huge shifts in the environment occur, this may create bottlenecks, through which only a lucky few can pass their genes.
"Perhaps tolerance for mercury in the diet, or an ability to digest kudzu, or a pronounced fondness for living underground in the dark will be strongly favored after some catastrophe."
However, Dennett added, "Since evolution is an amplifier of noise - unpredictable insertions into the prevailing patterns - it is a mistake to extrapolate current trends with much confidence."
In other words, it's best to leave prediction-making to science fiction writers like Stephen Baxter, whose 2003 novel "Evolution" foresaw humans diverging into eyeless mole-men, neo-apes and elephant people herded by giant rodent masters. Entertaining, but not to be taken too seriously.
The divergence of humans on Earth into multiple species is extremely unlikely, say experts. Indeed, if humans are to evolve into something decidedly nonhuman, they would probably need to leave the planet altogether.
"If a group of humans were to go off to a distant planet and be isolated from the main human population for many generations, I suspect that evolutionary selection might become operative again," said Varki at UCSD.
But Ward, the
"My guess is, there will be no more human species," he said. "We're all there is for as long as we're on Earth. We are what we are, and we'll go on being what we are, with minor changes."

Historical Note
Helen Faith Keane (1901- ) is an American broadcaster who helmed her own TV series over the Dumont TV network in the early 1950s.
The daughter of Polish immigrants, Keane (often referred to by her nickname "Happy") attended Cornell University, where she was a member of the women's rowing team and from which she would graduate Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in English in 1925. She would later earn an MA in psychology from Columbia University.
Before her segue into broadcasting, Helen Faith Keane excelled in various fields. Her first job -- at $18 a week -- was as a copywriter for Bloomingdale's. She would stay with the store for six years, eventually being promoted to the position of Fashion Coordinator. After Bloomingdale's, Miss Keane took a job with Montgomery Ward to work as fashion coordinator for their catalog and retail stores. She was employed by Montgomery Ward for five years.
Just after WWII, while still working day shifts at Montgomery Ward, Ms. Keane began to work as a teacher, teaching night courses in fashion advertising at New York University. She would eventually join the faculty of NYU in their school of retailing, teaching first part time (1946-1952) and then full time (1952-1977).
It was during her tenure with Montgomery Ward and NYU that Ms. Keane entered broadcasting--"by accident."
After watching a daytime televised fashion show, Ms. Keane was displeased with the (male) commentator and called the station the next day to complain about it. Eventually she found she had a brand new job, one hosting her own daily TV talk show.
"The Helen Faith Keane Show...For Your Information" aired for exactly one year over WABD, a Dumont-owned station. Aimed at women, the program covered for its audience everything "from how to play the piano to what to ask your doctor about breast cancer." Said Ms. Keane about her program, "The ladies would write me with their questions and, when I received sufficient interest in a particular topic, I would seek an expert who could address it."
"The Helen Faith Keane Show...For Your Information" won a McCall's Mike award in 1951. One of that year's judges, Margaret Chase Smith, said about the program, "the material was inspiring evidence of what women can do, and are doing, for our country and our people."
In order to devote more time to her teaching at NYU and to have more time to travel, Ms. Keane ended her broadcasting career exactly one year after it began.
Ms. Keane has been married only once, to the late Dr. Philip Reichert. Reichert was also a graduate of Cornell (class of 1923). The couple had no children.
In 2001, Mrs. Reichert celebrated her 100th birthday. Two years later, still feisty and going strong, Mrs. Reichert made a return visit to Cornell to meet with the school's current women's rowing team.
Mrs. Reichert isn't the only one of her family with staying power. Her brother Peter, sister Lee, and brother Irving have also all lived, or are living, into their late 90s. Over the years, the four siblings have taken part in various scientific studies on human longevity.
Mrs. Reichert currently resides in New York City.

Dave's Rating:
That thing where they go rancid...
Note to readers: Care about spoilers in your terrible anthropomorphic animal cartoons? Then by all means stop reading, go out and buy a really expensive 3D ticket to this film and learn all of its wonders for yourself. The rest of you can keep going.
It's about an Ayn Rand-ian squirrel named Surly (the voice of Will Arnett) who's always looking out for Number One ("I'm just a squirrel tryin' to get a nut," he says in the opening moments, because someone had to). It's also about Surly's battle with a totalitarian Socialist raccoon (Liam Neeson) and with 1950s-era bank robbers using a nut shop for cover. There's a talking pug (Maya Rudolph) and a mute rodent poached in body if not soul directly from Ratatouille, a squirrel-girl love interest (Katherine Heigl) and a bunch of other animals that don't matter. Some are more equal than others here.
Winter is coming (the autumnal colors and period background details are nice to look at, the sole reason to do any looking in this film's direction) and there aren't enough nuts to go around the pointedly named "Liberty Park." With limited resources, the animals are panicked and Raccoon uses that fear to serve his own ends while Surly schemes to take all the nut shop loot for himself, right under the noses of human beings planning their own heist. Double crosses and double-double crosses ensue, the plot becomes convoluted and too complicated for kids to understand and, while the people are all squarely placed in the 1950s, the animals are somehow possessed of the ability to time travel and, upon discovering the existence of the nut shop, immediately begin dancing to Psy's "Gangnam Style."
A partly Korean production -- hence the inclusion of that already-dated Psy song not once but twice, the second go-round involving an animated Psy dancing with all the animals over the closing credits -- it's a film as much at war with itself as the North and South halves of that country. Every ill-fitting, contradictory plot point, character movement or song cue screams producer intervention, and the resulting hot mess is conflicted and baffling, jittery and dull, not to be enjoyed by any child or any adult. But where else can you find a movie equally concerned with farts as it is with warning against the excesses of both capitalism and collectivism? Nowhere? Yep, nowhere.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Female Supervisor Fired by District Manager Who Wanted a Man in Her Position, Federal Agency Charged
ATLANTA – Allegiance Industries, Inc., a cleaning service with work sites throughout the Atlanta area, violated federal law when it fired a female supervisor because of her sex, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Civil Action No., 110-CV-1260, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Brenda Lowery was hired by Allegiance Industries in or around January 2009 as a cleaning team supervisor. Lowery's cleaning team was assigned to work at an Arthritis Foundation of Georgia work site. According to the EEOC, on several occasions throughout her employment, Allegiance Industries' district manager told Lowery that he wanted a male supervisor at the Arthritis Foundation work site. On or around July 1, 2009, the district manager ultimately terminated Lowery, the EEOC said, and again told her that he needed a man on the contract. Immediately after Lowery was fired, Allegiance Industries placed a male supervisor at that work site.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The EEOC is seeking back pay, compensatory and punitive damages for Lowery. The lawsuit also seeks injunctive relief designed to stop the sex discrimination and prevent it from recurring in the future.
"This is a case where there is clear and direct evidence of intentional sex discrimination," said Robert K. Dawkins, regional attorney for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office. "It highlights the importance of the EEOC's obligation to protect the rights of employees."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

By 2012, 15-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys began seeing her once hot sales streak cool.
The 'Girl On Fire' – whose first three albums consecutively topped the Billboard 200 and her fourth, 'The Element of Freedom,' delivered fair numbers in comparison – was no longer burning up the charts in means fans had become accustomed to. In fact, some 12 years after her commercially and critically acclaimed debut 'Songs in A Minor' (2000), the ivory tickling diva didn't exactly find much to laugh about when her fifth album, 'Fire,' crashed and burned after making a #1 debut to the first week sum of 159,000 – almost a third of what 'Freedom's first week declared just three years prior
Taking a period to cool off to focus on philanthropy and family (see: giving birth to her second child in late 2014), the singer/songwriter continued to tease new music throughout the downtime – even promising fans something they "wouldn't expect."
That promise was finally manifested in May 2016 thanks to 'In Common'…
'Common' – a Soca/Dancehall-tinged tune – came as quite the sonic departure for the piano playing performer given her track record for kicking off projects with numbers of slower tempo. And, if the initial critical reception was anything to go by, the risk not only paid off, but Keys was quickly on the comeback trail to prominence. Instrumentally, the bass-buoyed bop got a "thumbs up" for being a standout from Keys' catalog as well as the sound dominating today's radio. Elsewhere, 'Common's vocal arrangement also earned a nod from listeners who'd grown weary of the Grammy winner's tendency to strain or yell through recorded and live performances.
Yet, while an overwhelming number seemed to have positive reviews "in common" in response to Keys' crack at a comeback, to date the tune hasn't exactly been able to mirror that reception commercially. Getting its official live TV launch via 'SNL,' 'Common' has since been performed to a world stage on the year's UEFA Champions League Final and taken to the 2016 BET Awards in an unconventional showing that saw the singer play several instruments at once while singing the song. Despite the multi-tasking maestra's moving live attempts to hoist the song up the Hot 100, apparently viewers were none-to-impressed. For, as of time reporting, it has peaked at the top of the bottom (see: Bubbling Under Charts).
To 'Common's credit, her team has only afforded it a "soft launch," meaning it has not been made widely available to every applicable radio format. An understandable move given the amount of dollars pumped into the star's last project, 'Fire,' which undoubtedly did not yield the anticipated return. To play it safe, her label home has shipped the song solely to rhythmic and R&B radio and, as peruse of related charts reveals, its performance on Billboard's R&B charts to date clearly indicates a strong level of interest. However, its iTunes and streaming figures – especially for an artist of Alicia's magnitude – are singing a different tune.
Simply put: where is 'In Common' incorrect? Have Keys and co. been choosing the wrong outlets and arenas to promote the song or is it simply a big misstep by itself? In other words…

ecourtney needed a new stationery design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 131 designs submitted by 46 freelance designers.
First impressions leave lasting impressions in any business. I need a creative and innovative twist on a business card design.
Erik Courtney
DESIGN COLORS: I tend to prefer blacks, blues, whites. That being said, I encourage you to explore other colors if your design requires them. I'm not at all married to any one color scheme.
DESIGN STYLE: Whenever I hand my business card to someone I know they are judging me creatively. What kind of filmmaker is this guy? Does he have a vision? In other words, the cliche business card with a movie clapper won't do (we've all seen those too many times.) I tend to work in the genres of science fiction, thrillers, and historical dramas. My films also strive to be technically innovative.
I don't have a logo at this point and am totally open to ideas. You can use my name or anything else that you think would be appropriate.Although I wouldn't want robots or other elements like that on the card.
The card should include the following info: Name, phone, address, email and websites (currently 2)
Thanks in advance for any submissions. I'm excited to see what you come up with. I'm willing to give daily feedback or more often if you want it.
- Strong first impression
- Bold and unique
- Hi-End
- Intelligent
- Graphically and thematically interesting
- Minimally colored graphic elements
- Open to square or rounded edges
- Science Fiction / industrial themes are encouraged
- 2 sided is nice, but not necessary
- Open to horizontal or vertical design
- Delivered in an Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator file, along with any non-standard fonts you used.
- No 3D or cut out cards
- Movie Clappers
- Anything that would be a problem for a printer like Sir Speedy to print
- Photo elements like actual pictures of cameras, directors chairs, etc... If you use photos the end result needs to look graphical not like actual pictures.

Dr. Goodword wrote:• Christmastide •
Pronunciation: kris-mês-taid • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass (no plural)
Meaning: The Twelve Days of Christmas, from Christmas eve to the eve of Epiphany, January 5, the same season celebrated in the famous Christmas song of the same name.
Notes: Today's word is a bit nostalgic since it contains the mysterious and poorly understood term tide. Today tide refers to the rise and fall of the oceans. It originally meant "time", however, before its meaning was reduced to just those times when the sea rises and falls.
In Play: Because so few Christian churches in English-speaking countries celebrate the original Christmastide now, today's Good Word has become confused with the general phrase, Christmas time. The sense of romance and nostalgia that Christmastide bestirs often guides it into church programs and announcements. Just remember it is the holiday season between Christmas and a bit beyond New Year's Day. Very little gets done over Christmastide; in fact, most schools in the US are closed over Christmastide.
Word History: The word tide comes from PIE *da- "to divide". With the suffix -m it emerges in Greek demos "people, land," things often divided, and all the words English borrowed containing it, such as democracy and pandemic. With the suffix -d, it gave English tide "time," now with a new meaning (sea tides) and with the old one in archaisms like eventide and today's word. The verb tidan "to happen" (to occur in time) left us the beautiful noun tidings "happenings, news," as in the glad tidings, brought by angels to the shepherds in the Christmas Story.
