STANFORD — Sixth-ranked Stanford overcame combative Colorado on Sunday to remain tied for the Pac-12 lead in women's basketball.
The Cardinal (18-2, 7-1) blew a 21-point lead but survived for a 69-56 victory to end a five-game home stand in front of 3,904 at Maples Pavilion.
Stanford also survived a scare when junior star Chiney Ogwumike left the game briefly with a leg injury after getting fouled by the Buffaloes' Chucky Jeffrey.
Ogwumike led Stanford with 20 points and 11 rebounds but also got good support from Joslyn Tinkle (16) and Toni Kokenis (15). Guard Amber Orrange added 10 while making 5 of 10 shots.
No. 20 Colorado (15-4, 4-4) was led by freshman Jamee Swan with 14 points while Jeffrey added 13.
The game proved much more difficult than three weeks ago when the Cardinal opened the Pac-12 season with a 57-40 victory at Colorado. But it was a rough trip to the Bay Area for the Buffaloes, who lost at Cal 59-56 on Friday after leading 31-19 in the first half.
Stanford remained tied with Cal (7-1) while UCLA (6-2) and Washington (6-2) trail by a game. All of the league's leaders won Sunday.
Stanford couldn't sustain any kind of momentum in a game it should have won handily.
The Cardinal led by 21 with 13:40 left then got sloppy. The Buffaloes went on a stampede to cut the margin to 51-42 with 10:47 to play. The visitors outhustled and out-rebounded the Cardinal to get back in the game with a 12-0 run.
Kokenis' steal and layup ended the scoreless stretch but then Stanford's worse-case scenario happened. Ogwumike suffered a leg injury with 8:09 left after being fouled. She missed both free throws and Brittany Wilson went down a made a 3-pointer to cut the margin to seven with 8:01 left.
Some fortuitous shooting as the shot clock expired kept Stanford in front. First Tinkle made a jumper to give her team a nine-point cushion then Kokenis made a 3-pointer at the buzzer and got fouled on the play. She missed the free throw but Ogwumike returned to get the rebound and score for a 60-46 lead.
Had those plays favored the Buffaloes Stanford might not have been able to stop them.
Stanford strained to build a 35-26 halftime lead although Colorado was accident prone with 10 turnovers.
With better perimeter shooting the Cardinal might have walked into the locker room with a commanding lead.
Stanford lost momentum every time it got it because it failed to convert on open looks too many times. The Cardinal went ahead by eight with 5:54 left in the half. Just as quickly Colorado scored five in a row because of Stanford's suddenly stagnant offense.
But when the Buffaloes cut the margin to three points with 3:19 left the Cardinal went on a 9-3 run to end the half up by nine points.
Ogwumike had 11 points and six rebounds despite a collapsing defense designed to force Stanford to shoot from outside. Kokenis had 10 points and made the Cardinal's only two 3-pointers.
Colorado was led by Swan, who made all four of her shots inside to score eight points.

While component manufacturer SRAM has been on a roll with parts to make you go faster as of late, it appears their new goal is to bring you to a firm, predictable, well-modulated stop. The company announced the release of a new, four-piston hydraulic disc brake system called Guide today, aimed at the trail/all-mountain segment.
The new brake is a departure from its predecessors in a number of ways, including the abandonment of two of the company's longtime brake hallmarks—the Taperbore master cylinder design, and the notably absent Avid brand name.
But before we talk about what's not there, we'll look at what is—a host of new technologies like Swinglink, TPC Plus, Pure Bladder and Direct Link joining SRAM's existing Contact Point Adjust and Reach Adjust features
In order to minimize what SRAM calls "deadband"—that part of brake lever throw before you get to any stopping power—they've introduced a cam system within the master cylinder body called SwingLink. SRAM purports this little trick of engineering reduces lever throw while increasing modulation, two traits previously thought to be mutually exclusive. The result, according to SRAM, is balance of power and precision that is smoothly and predictably modulated rather than the abrupt, grabby on-off feel associated with a short lever-throw set-up.
TPC Plus
TPC Plus refers to the "timing port connection" where the master cylinder bore and reservoir are connected. When the lever is squeezed, a cup seal passes this area and closes the port, pressurizing the system. It effectively vents out power-sapping air bubbles from the system more-or-less automatically bleeding it. In theory, this should lead to longer service intervals and more consistent performance which was somewhat of an Achille's heel for its Taperbore predecessors.
Pure Bladder
Also helping to tame the tiny bubbles of bad performance is a reshaped bladder specifically designed to evacuate air called Pure. SRAM says the new design improves braking power, consistency and back-pressure relief, all, again pointing to more consistent overall performance.
Contact Point Adjust and Reach Adjust
Despite a clear intent to depart from prior designs, we were glad to see SRAM carry-over two excellent features from the Elixer 9 Trail brakes. Contact Point Adjust is a feature that uses a large dial on the master cylinder body to adjust how far the pads are from the rotor. This allows you to adjust how soon in the lever-throw the pads engage the rotor.
We frequently use this feature to balance out the feel between levers after brake pads start to wear. With front pads normally going away first, a turn of the dial makes the levers feel equal, despite unequal pad wear.
Somewhat related is Reach Adjust, a feature that lets you dial in bias of how far the lever sits from the bars. This is particularly useful for people with smaller hands or riders who prefer to have their levers closer to the bar. [Editors note: We're fairly certain this adjustment alone has saved numerous marriages].
Reach Adjust, SwingLink and Contact Point availability
SRAM has essentially used the features Reach Adjust (R), SwingLink (S) and Contact Point Adjust (C) to differentiate the three brake models and price points. The full-featured Guide RSC goes for $199 per brake and includes, predictably, Reach Adjust, SwingLink and Contact Point Adjustments. The $149 per brake Guide RS deletes the Contact Point Adjust, while the entry-level $129 Guide R comes only with Reach Adjust and uses the simplified DirectLink in place of the higher-end SwingLink (see full specs at end of story).
Guide calipers look familiar
Calipers for the new brake system appear to be re-styled versions of the four-piston, dual diameter stoppers on current Elixer Trail models. The lightweight calipers feature the same 14 and 16mm pistons of their predecessors and presumably share the same easy-to-change, top-load brake pads. SRAM says the powerful calipers weigh only four grams more than Avid's two-piston cross-country calipers.
New Centerline rotors
Not to be confused with Shimano's Center Lock, SRAM's new brakes ship with updated brake rotors dubbed Centerline. The six-bolt, one-piece steel rotors feature a twin diameter contact pattern "designed to keep the center of friction consistent throughout the rotation thereby minimizing vibration," according to SRAM. It replaces the Avid HS-1 and is available in 140, 160, 170, 180, 200MM diameters.
So why not Avid?
As we alluded to in our intro, a significant part of the story here is what's not on the new brakes. Item one—Taperbore—has been essentially replaced by TPC Plus, so we covered that. But the Avid branding, what of that?
We move from informational to speculative here but clearly Avid and brakes in general have been a headache for SRAM. While we've had excellent performance from some Avid brakes, we've had our share of mystery maladies as well.
A check through our forums shows plenty of nay-saying, and SRAM's recent hydraulic cross disc debacle— while well handled by the company—is undoubtedly a costly black eye. But is it enough to force a drastic change in branding? Or were the wheels already in motion from years of cumulative baggage.
Clearly we don't know the answer to that question nor the future prospects for the Avid brand name, but given the rate and volume of high-level successful product introductions in the last couple years—1×11 drivetrains, the RockShox Pike fork and Reverb dropper post, among others—the lagging brake brand may have simply become intolerable for company management. Time will tell.

I went to a tiki party at a campground by the beach in Cardiff. Over the weekend, they had over 200 people there, which, they told me, was their biggest turnout yet. They had tiki torches, a thatch hut, and carpeting on the sand. Kamin explained, "We have friends that get us that carpet. It works perfectly, and when the party is over, we just roll the thing up and throw it away." I tell her that I'd been to some parties where people probably wished they could throw their carpet away.
She made me a drink and said, "It's a Cape Cod. It's vodka and cranberry juice. Well, someone told me that's what it's called." I didn't argue. She took me around and introduced me to her friends.
I noticed that several people were named Bob and that on the walls, it said "B.O.B." I asked about this and a guy jumped in and told me, "There are lots of locals named Bob, what can we say?" He said that the "B.O.B." had been around for 30 years.
Kamin introduced me to a person named Scary Terri. She said she got that name from bowling. "Did you have trouble keeping the ball in your own lane?" I asked. She ran over to talk to someone else, and I never found out how she got the nickname.
Then I met someone called Psycho Dave. I started to wonder if everyone at the party had a nickname. Dave told me that he was going through a divorce and that his wife wanted him to go to see his friend's dad, a psychiatrist. I asked him if that was why his friends called him Psycho Dave. "No. My friends called me that long before any of this. It was endearing, and it just sort of stuck."
His story didn't make a lot of sense to me. I thought he told me that his father-in-law was also a psychiatrist but that he didn't want to talk to him. And at one point, Psycho Dave told me that his father-in-law said he was normal. He seemed normal.
A woman started talking to me about UFOs, and I thought, she might not be normal .... They thought they saw UFOs at their campsite and "freaked out" watching them. The next morning, they discovered it was a group of kids at another campsite who were throwing bags that they had lit on fire into the air. "Well... that's cool," I said. "My first UFO story I've ever gotten at a party."
Someone who overheard me said, "So, this is the best party you've ever been to, isn't it?"
"Well... I've been to a few mansions in Rancho Santa Fe that were awesome." She replied, "Yeah, well, they had to buy their greatness. We didn't."
I met a guy who owned a restaurant. He used to be a fireman in Texas. He told me he had been an extra in the movie Paper Moon and that he had played a character named Bubba in Blazing Saddles. I didn't remember the movie well enough to recall who that was.
A couple of women who were leaving overheard our conversation and said that they worked at a restaurant in Monterey and that one of them waited on Al Pacino once.
I heard someone playing ukulele and found out later that it was Kamin's mom. She also plays saxophone, banjo, and bongos.
When I heard a couple guys playing acoustic guitar near the back, I went over to talk to them. They told me that they were in a band in the '60s called Smokestack Lightning. "Did you like the Yardbirds' version of that song?" I asked them. "We hated it!" they said in unison. Then one of them said, "Nobody did it better than Howlin' Wolf."
I saw a guy wearing a shirt that read, "I see drunk people." He had four empty beer cans near him. I saw older men laughing while looking at a yearbook. They were wearing reading glasses and using cell phones to light the pages up in the night.
I listened to the waves hit the beach as I sipped my Cape Cod.
Someone asked me if I wanted a cookie, and I turned around expecting to see Girl Scout cookies. The cookies, however, were shaped like hands in the "hang loose" symbol -- thumb and pinky stuck out -- and covered in frosting.
As I chewed my cookie, someone came over and told me about a person who does a great Scooby-Doo impression. I listened as he did it. I felt like a judge on American Idol. I wasn't sure if I should comment like Simon. Or better yet, "Good job, dog." Should I say, "Cartoon characters are a dime a dozen. Let's hear you do a Nicholson impression."
I smiled and said, "Sounded good."
Someone got a bonfire going, and though I tried to take a photo of a large group of people standing near it, after a few shots of smoke blocking their faces, I gave up.
A woman told us that she was a guitarist, and we said we wanted to hear her play. There was a broken guitar nearby that someone fell on. It was in horrible condition and looked pieced together, as if it were a jigsaw puzzle.
"I'd play that if it wasn't broken," she said. Someone suggested, "I think it just needs to be tuned." We all had a laugh but then the woman picked it up and played a few songs. When she finished, people applauded. I said, "I've seen guitar strings break during a song, but never a whole guitar.... When you got to the bridge on the second number, that thing was ready to burst."

Jay Leno addressed Internet rumors that NBC might ax his prime-time show head on, joking Thursday night on "The Jay Leno Show" that perhaps he should begin reaching out to other networks.
"It's Katie Couric's birthday today and, you know, she left NBC for another network," Leno said of the CBS News anchor. "I've got to give her a call, see how that's working out."
Speaking to bandleader Kevin Eubanks, Leno said: "So far nobody is saying anything to me. But Kev, if we did get cancelled it may give us time to do some traveling. In fact, I understand Fox is beautiful this time of year."
U.S. & World
Earlier on Thursday, NBC issued a statement defending its commitment to Leno's program after industry website FTVLive.com had reported the network planned to "pull the plug."
"Jay Leno is one of the most compelling entertainers in the world today," read the NBC statement. "As we have said all along, Jay's show has performed exactly as we anticipated on the network. It has, however, presented some issues for our affiliates. Both Jay and the show are committed to working closely with them to find ways to improve the performance."
The former "Tonight Show" host also referenced the less than stellar ratings his 10 p.m. show have commanded since an initial surge when the program launched in September. Leno's exit from "Tonight" at the peak of his popularity paved the way for Conan O'Brien to take over hosting duties at the prized late-night gig.
"See, it's always been my experience NBC only cancels you when you're in first place – so we're fine," Leno joked. "Hey Kev, what does NBC stand for? Never believe your contract."
Also on Thursday, NBC execs met with Leno and O'Brien to talk about the future of its late-night line-up, The New York Times reported. What they came up with would restore Leno to his 11:35 p.m. start time -- but with a catch, according to the Times.
Citing two senior NBC executives, the paper reported Leno's show would be reduced to a half-hour format, which would push O'Brien's show to 12:05 a.m. for the full hour. Jimmy Fallon's show would then start at 1:05 a.m., the executives told The Times. The new schedule would take effect after the Winter Olympics on February 28th.
"We remain committed to keeping Conan O'Brien on NBC," the network said in a statement to The Times. "He is a valued part of our late-night line-up, as he has been for more than 16 years and is one of the most respected entertainers on television."

The new Visio offers a number of new capabilities – the modern look of the app, new themes and shapes for making professional-looking diagrams, new ways to collaborate with multiple authors and reviewers. We've also made it much easier to share those diagrams with your coworkers and friends – even if they don't have Visio. That's where Visio Services comes in. Visio Services lets you share great-looking diagrams using SharePoint or Office 365 with up to the minute data.
Full fidelity viewing, no publishing
Visio Services is a part of Microsoft SharePoint and O365 that offers a fast and simple way to consume Visio diagrams. You just need to have a Visio document stored in SharePoint and a browser – no Visio client is required. We present the diagram with the same visual fidelity as the Visio client, including your themes and cool effects. Visio 2010 users will recall that diagrams had to be published to a special web format (.VDW) for viewing. No longer! Visio Services works with the new native Visio file format (.VSDX) so that any document saved in SharePoint is viewable – no publishing required. (Visio Services will still support your existing .VDW files.)
Collaborate on diagrams with commenting
One great reason to share your diagrams with others is to get feedback on them. With Visio Services your reviewers can add comments to the diagram – as well as see the comments from others. In fact, you may have people commenting on the diagram using the Visio client and people commenting in the browser at the same time. See the collaboration blog article for more details about the new commenting and collaboration features in Visio and Visio Services.
See the latest information
The information in Visio diagrams is not always static. You can connect a diagram to a variety of data sources to show dynamic information in a visual context. Visio Services can refresh the data and update the shapes in the diagram that are linked to data.
You can even incorporate diagrams into rich dashboards or larger SharePoint solutions. Below is an example of a SharePoint website for a University dorm. Visio diagrams are embedded in this site to give information about upcoming residence hall events and up to date information about dorm facilities. Diagrams are also available in document libraries for easy access to view in the browser or edit in Visio.
Access wherever you need it
Since Visio Services works through your browser, you can use it with a wide variety of devices – desktops, laptops, mobile phones, or tablets. It works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari to give you access using your platform of choice. We've also added enhancements for touch and for mobile devices with smaller screens.
Try it yourself
Now that you know what Visio Services is all about, why don't you try it yourself? Visio Services is part of SharePoint and SharePoint Online in Office 365. You can get a trial Office 365 Preview account, drop some Visio diagrams in a SharePoint document library, and then see Visio Services in action. We've attached some Visio files to this article for starters. Here's what you need to do:
- Sign up for the Office 365 Enterprise Preview
- In the Office 365 Preview admin center, navigate to the SharePoint sites by clicking on the Sites button in the blue header.
- Go to the Team site to upload a Visio diagram to the Document collection by clicking on "new document" > "Upload existing file" (You may use the example file contained within this zip download)
- Click a Visio diagram in the document collection to view in the web browser
For more information and resources about the Office 365 Preview, check out this Office Preview Getting Started Guide.
Visio Services is a way to share modern diagrams across your organization with the latest business information. It's a great complement to Visio and SharePoint.

Too many speed bumps, needless chicanes, and painfully slow speed limits: it feels like towns are always trying to screw up their own transportation infrastructure.
Smalleyxb122 had a great example of a town doing itself some harm, inspired by the story of a woman who hated train whistles so much, she parked her car on the tracks to get them to stop.
In high school, I lived less than a quarter mile from train tracks. It was in a new construction subdivision, and the residents complained about the train horn (the train was there first!). They eventually successfully petitioned to have the horns quieted down. Unfortunately, for those of us who would walk the tracks to get home from school, the quieter horns gave a false impression of how far the approaching (from behind) train was. Fortunately, it only resulted in a couple of close calls. The horns were back to full volume thereafter, and the residents when back to complaining.

Product Questions and Answers
Will the adhesive leave anything behind when I go to take the tape off my stainless steel refrigerator? Will it damage the fridge in any way?- Asked by Diane R. on 19-Mar-14
In most cases, the adhesive side is stuck to the small non-magnetic item such as a photo, and the magnetic side of the tape sticks the item to the refrigerator. The magnetic side should not affect the refrigerator. If applying the adhesive to the fridge itself, an adhesive remover such as 3M Adhesive Remover may be used to remove residue from the refrigerator if needed.- Answered by MisterArt on 19-Mar-14
Can it hold heavy items like an iPad on the fridge?- Asked by Jenn on 30-Dec-13
This super thin (.0118 in.) magnetic tape is designed for lightweight materials only such as paper and photos.- Answered by MisterArt on 07-Jan-14
Can magnetic tape be removed easily from stainless steel fridge without leaving residue?- Asked by BDC on 24-Aug-13
Yes, and if there is residue, just use an adhesive remover like Bestine.- Answered by MisterArt on 28-Aug-13
Will this work to attach my refrigerator magnets to stainless steel?- Asked by Pat on 21-May-13
This tape is actual magnet material and it will work on stainless steel.- Answered by MisterArt on 21-May-13

LOVELAND — A Texan with experience in fine restaurants around the country plans to bring a taste of the South to downtown Loveland.
Clay Caldwell was in town this week, starting the process of converting the former Teraza's Not Just Gyros shop at 141 E. Fourth St. into his mo' Betta gumbo restaurant.
Teraza's owner Terry Madigan closed her restaurant Oct. 24.
Caldwell said he's shooting for a mid-December opening but realizes mo' Betta might not open until January.
He said his future restaurant will specialize in "low-country cooking," which he described as the cuisine of the area "from New Orleans all the way around to the Carolinas."
"It's the food that everyday people eat," he said. "It's not going to be strict Cajun.
"In the South, no matter what your economic station is, you eat the same," Caldwell said. "It breaks down barriers."
He offered some examples: poor-boy sandwiches with crab and shrimp, entrée salads such as a New Orleans Cobb with Creole-flavored chicken or fish, beignet pastries, bread pudding, french fries with truffle oil and Parmesan cheese and red beans and rice.
He'll also serve beer and wine.
Prices will range from $7.99 to $14, he said.
"The focus will be on quality of food and quality of service," Caldwell said. "You're not going to find granite countertops in here, just a good time."
He said he plans to decorate the eatery at the corner of Fourth Street and Cleveland Avenue using "a touch of New Orleans with a modern twist."
He will be open for lunch and dinner, staying open late into the evening, and is considering featuring live music, such as a three-piece jazz ensemble.
Caldwell lives with his wife and 15-year-old daughter in the Dallas area but is in the process of moving his family to Colorado. He said he's looking forward to the change.
"I spent 20-odd years in the best restaurants and hotels in the country," he said, including the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta and Scottsdale Princess resort in Arizona.
He received his chef training at the Culinary Institute of America in New York, worked as an executive chef and in management and served as a consultant.
"I've loved it, but now this is for me. I want to have fun," he said.
Caldwell said he spent two years searching the country for just the right location to start a restaurant – a place with a slower pace but the prospect of success. The Loveland area kept coming up, he said.
Barry Floyd, the Loveland businessman who is leasing the building to Caldwell, said he remembers the success of Broussard's New Orleans Restaurant in downtown Loveland 20 years ago, and he expects Caldwell's venture to do well, too.
"I'm impressed with him as a person, and I'm impressed with his education and work background," Floyd said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – UMBC senior Mohamed Hussein (Cairo, Egypt/Victory College) and junior Ryan Green (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) have swept the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) end-of-year awards, the conference office announced on Monday afternoon.
Hussein earned the CCSA Swimmer of the Year award after another record-breaking year, the first season for the Retrievers in the swimming-only conference. Green, meanwhile, took the Diver of the Year honor after winning the 3-meter competition and taking silver in the 1-meter at the conference meet, and then competing at his second straight NCAA Zones Championships.
"Once again, we continue to surprise ourselves with another set of awards," said UMBC swimming and diving head coach Chad Cradock. "Mohamed and Ryan truly deserve these honors as the hard work and dedication of our team as a whole is reflective of their performances."
After becoming the first Retriever male swimmer to advance to the NCAA Championships last season, Hussein pushed even further as a senior during the 2013-14 season. He was named the CCSA Co-Most Outstanding Male Swimmer of the meet after leading the Retrievers to a second-place team finish and the No. 23-ranking in the nation.
At the championship meet in Knoxville, Tenn., Hussein broke the meet and conference record while winning a gold medal in the 200 IM, as well as the 100-yd. backstroke. He also picked up a silver medal in the 200 back with a new school record and NCAA "B" cut time. In addition, the Retriever senior helped UMBC capture gold in the 800 free relay while snapping the meet, conference, and school record in the event.
Hussein continued his season at the ECAC Championships at Navy where he won the 100 butterfly, 200 backstoke, and 200 IM in school record times, and was named the meet's Most Outstanding Male Swimmer for the second consecutive year.
He then completed his magnificent career for UMBC at the NCAA Championships in Texas where he became the first Retriever swimmer to compete at two national meets. In Austin, Hussein represented the conference as the CCSA's lone swimmer and broke the league's open records in the 100- and 200-yd. backstroke competitions.
For the season, Hussein paced the Retrievers with 12 individual dual meet wins, while also aiding UMBC to nine relay victories. During UMBC's Jan. 11 meet against Howard, Hussein helped the 200 medley relay, as well as the 200 free relay, set new UMBC Aquatic Complex records. In addition, he was named the CCSA Swimmer of the Week three times during the dual meet season.
On the diving boards, Green had a breakout season for the Retrievers, setting new career-bests in both events. During the dual meet season, the junior received the CCSA Diver of the Week honor twice, including after sweeping the diving events during the Retrievers' home meet against Howard. During UMBC's training trip to Florida over the school's winter break, Green scored 304.65 on the 1-meter to qualify for the NCAA Zones meet.
At the CCSA Championships at the University of Tennessee, the junior diver opened his weekend by winning the 3-meter competition. Sitting third after the prelim round with a score of 262.95, Green scored a career-high 318.15 to capture gold. The next day, Green led after the preliminary round of the 1-meter event with a career-best score of 319.85, and then scored 301.70 in the finals to finish second behind teammate Pak Lam Wong. Following the conclusion of the meet, he was named the Most Outstanding Male Diver of the Meet.
Just over two weeks later at the NCAA Zone "A" diving championships at Virginia Tech, Green became the first UMBC male diver to advance to the finals of an event. On the 1-meter board, Green scored 278.20 to place 17th overall in the opening round and then scored 262.85 in the finals.

Orphan Sunday
originally posted on 8/26/09
I have seen this photograph many times, but I just heard the story behind it today. Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer Prize for this photograph in 1994. This child was crawling to an aid camp in Sudan. He was less than 1km away. No one knows what happened to this child, as the photographer left immediately after taking the photograph. 3 months later, the photographer committed suicide because of depression. For me this begs the question: How many times have I turned away from someone in need? The answer is- all too often. We can all say, "I would never walk away from that starving child." But we do it everyday- by ignoring what is happening in our world.
The need is great, around the world and in our own communities. Are you praying that God will show you how you can help the orphan? Are you answering His call?

NYT Nonsense on SAFRA
With the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA) likely to be voted on by the full House or Representatives today, the media is finally giving some space to debate over the bill. Unfortunately, the New York Times only pays attention to the parts it likes, writing in an editorial today that:
The private lenders and those who do their bidding in Congress have recently taken issue with a Congressional Budget Office analysis that showed that the bill would save about $87 billion over the next 10 years.
They argue, absurdly, for example, that the savings would be smaller if the system were analyzed under accounting rules other than the ones that the federal government is required to use. The aim is to mislead taxpayers and members of Congress into believing that the C.B.O. estimate is dishonest.
Um, excuse me New York Times, but the CBO has never said the bill — not just going from subsidized to direct lending, but the whole bill — would save $87 billion over ten years. Moreover, it has been a series of analyses from the CBO — albeit driven by requests from members of Congress — that have continually increased the cost estimates for SAFRA. (I have linked to all the CBO analyses here.) CBO's very first estimate of the bill's likely net cost put it at around $6 billion over ten years, and it only went up from there after incorporating such things as lending risk and potentially higher Pell grant costs.
Of course, the Times isn't alone in its refusal to talk honestly about SAFRA. Despite all of the CBO estimates, yesterday U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said SAFRA would give college students and numerous other interests the world without costing taxpayers a dime. "We're not asking the taxpayers for one single dollar," he said. And SAFRA's sponsor, Rep. George Miller (D‑CA), has been touting his bill as a revolutionary money saver since day one.
The truth on this thing is out there, but it's definitely not in the New York Times.

Art Dubai 2012
The Art Dubai art fair in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) takes place in the luxurious Madinat Jumeirah leisure complex from March 21 – 24, taking local and international art fans under its wing for the sixth year. Last year the fair had 20,000 visitors – roughly the same amount that attended Art Moscow in 2011 (while art market heavyweights The Armory Show in New York this spring and London's Frieze fair in autumn last year were seen by over 60,000 people).

This year, the Art Dubai gallery show features 75 participants from 32 countries. Taking part, among others, are the famous The Pace Gallery (London, New York, Beijing), as well as Galerie Perrotin (Paris), Goodman (Johannesburg), the Rodolphe Jassen gallery (Brussels) and Galerie Chantal Crousel (Paris), all highly renowned in the art world.
Artist Faig Ahmed. (c) Kim-Leng Hills
Faig Ahmed, Aidan gallery, Moscow
The only representative of the Russian region is the Aidan gallery, established in 1992 by one of Moscow's first gallerists – Aidan Salakhova. The Aidan gallery regularly takes part in significant contemporary art fairs, such as the above mentioned Art Moscow and The Armory Show, as well as ARCO (Spain), FIAC (France), etc. The gallery has brought the work of talented Azerbaijani artist Faig Ahmed (1982) to Art Dubai – 'paintings' reminiscent of woven and then artistically transformed Turkish carpets. In 2007, Faig Ahmed represented his country in the 52nd Venice Art Biennale. Azerbaijan's pavilion at last summer's 54th Venice Biennale, on the other hand, was created by the owner of the Aidan gallery herself, Aidan Salakhova, who also works as an artist. Many may remember the cloth-covered sculptures that the Azerbaijani president considered an insult to Islam after viewing the pavilion.
Russian artist Alexander Kosolapov by one of his most famous works – the bronze sculpture Hero, Leader, God (2006-2007). At the Art Dubai fair Kosolapov is represented by Galerie Hussenot from Paris.
Although no other galleries from Russia are taking part in Art Dubai this year, the following Russian artists are represented by several foreign galleries: Alexander Kosolapov (Galerie Hussenot, Paris), Valery Koshlakov (Krinzinger gallery, Vienna), Erik Bulatov (Galerie Piece Unique, Paris) and Taus Makhacheva (Impronte Contemporary Art, Milan). Baltic and Scandinavian galleries are not taking part in the fair this year.
Russian artist Erik Bulatov (1933) is represented at Art Dubai by Galerie Piece Unique from Paris. The image shows Bulatov's 2010 painting La Retour
Also worth mentioning are the two prizes awarded during Art Dubai.
Firstly, The Abraaj Capital Art Prize, whose winners were just announced on the afternoon of March 20. The prize is unique in its status as the only art award aimed solely at artists from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. Additionally, it awards proposals, not actual works of art (acting as support for the materialization of these ideas), and the prize is presented to a curator and artist partnership instead of to an individual author.
The second award, new this year and to be presented for the first time, is the John Jones Art on Paper Award, its jury including curator and co-director of London's Serpentine Gallery Hans-Ulrich Obrist, artist of Palestinian origin Janah Hilwé (1943), once ironically named "the witch of contemporary art", and prominent art critic from Beirut, Kaelen Wilson-Goldie. Any artist taking part in the Art Dubai gallery show whose work involves paper is eligible for the prize. The winner will be given the opportunity to hold a solo exhibition in Dubai within the next year, as well as a cash prize of AED 30,000 (approximately LVL 4000), and the winning piece will be acquired by the John Jones Contemporary Art Collection in London. The winner will be announced on March 21.
This year, Art Dubai is being held within Dubai Art Week, providing a wonderful opportunity to enjoy other significant creative projects alongside the fair. This is a successful format for raising awareness of trends in the specific region's art, and has become an integral part of art fairs all over the world.

Al-Saraya Theatre will reopen in Jaffa early October with a performance of Travel on Travel, written by Palestinian author Salman Natour (b. 1949 in Dalia al-Karmel, Palestine), directed by Munir Bakri, and starring Rawda Suleiman and Suhail Haddad.
Travel on Travel was published in 2008 by the Tamer Institution in Ramallah. It is the second part of the trilogy Sixty Years: Desert Journey, which tells the Palestinian story through different characters.
The first was Memory, whose main character is a wrinkled old man. It was also produced by Saraya Theater and directed by Adib Jahshan. The third and final installment is titled Waiting, which Saraya is expected to produce on stage in early 2013.
After Memory was first performed on the Saraya stage in 2003, it toured in different theaters across Palestine and abroad.
Natour chose Jaffa and the Saraya theater because they give the literary piece a deeper meaning.
Natour, who also wrote Palestine on the Roads, says that Saraya remains the most important cultural landmark in Jaffa "where we get to see the few Palestinian productions in the city."
Travel on Travel tells the story of a meeting between two Palestinians. Fadwa (played by Suleiman), the refugee artist from Bissan, has been living in Morocco since she was six. Salim (played by Haddad), a native of of Jaffa, still lives in the city but his parents were evicted from their home, making him a Palestinian refugee in his own homeland.
Salim is a political activist who meets Fadwa in a peace conference in Europe. Fadwa advocates her cause through her paintings, which have been exhibited in various galleries in Europe. Salim works for the Palestinian cause through his political activities.
Their meeting focuses on love, emotions, struggles, and differences, especially regarding a solution to the Palestinian question.
Through his trilogy Sixty Years: Desert Journey, Natour tells the Palestinian story in its day-to-day details – great and small.
He did not want the story to remain on paper and chose to turn it into a play, starting with Memory.
Through his trilogy Sixty Years: Desert Journey, Natour tells the Palestinian story in its day-to-day details."What is wonderful about the theater is that you directly address the people face-to-face and you can see their initial reactions during the performance," Natour told Al-Akhbar in an interview.
"The world is direct, intimate, intense and human, while the interaction is also direct in the theater, unlike other mediums such as books, radio, or cinema," he added.
For Natour, the theater intensifies the ideas of the text.
"Theater does not accept chatter," he explained. "Everything on stage is essential, which makes the production deeper and more integrated."
Natour recently returned from putting on Memory in Tunisia and Morocco. In Tunisia, the country that saw the birth of the Arab uprisings, he presented it in the Great Theater, while he chose the outdoor al-Rabat Central Square in Morocco. In both, thousands attended.
Of his North African tour, Natour said, "Every time, I discover that our Palestinian stories are powerful and communicative – be they in small or big theaters, or open squares. All we need to do is to master the presentation of the story in its human and literary shape."

Hey, what happened? I've just disappeared from the site... It's puzzling to witness what things become when you're dead. Even worse when you see that some(thing/body) managed to make things look like you've never been there!
Let me tell... I once called myself ivanw from Paris, France, my avatar was:
...as in my VCO business name + me climbing the learning curve.
To make sure I was not mistaken when I thought I've really existed, I went to the search page to look for my former login name ivanw... I was right! No trace of my posts but I found some replies to some of them.
I DID EXIST ONCE! And I think I still do now.
So, here I am in a transition phase, on my way back to existence. I still have work to do... making sure I don't look too ghostly.
I am still trying to understand what happened, more on this soon...
unless I'm really dead

MBTA Transit Police officers who arrested Dzhokhar Tsarnaev spoke today about the moments before they handcuffed a man accused of bombing the Boston Marathon last week.
The officers – part of the Transit Police SWAT team – told reporters at a press conference Monday that as they approached the boat where Tsarnaev was hiding, they felt no fear – only focus.
"At a time like that, training kicks in," said Officer Saro Thompson, one of the officers who made the arrest. "We knew we gotta get him out, get him down."
MBTA Transit Police Officer Richard Donohue, 33, was injured during a shootout between the police and the suspects in Watertown early Friday morning, after Donohue and other transit officers had joined a pursuit of the suspects from Cambridge.
After the fire fight, transit officers were part of the search for the suspect who remained at large, but were dismissed at 6:30 p.m., after authorities announced that they believed the suspect had escaped their perimeter.
Minutes later, they were called back to the scene: The suspect had been located.
They arrived later than many of the other law enforcement officers who had also raced back to Watertown, blocked off a perimeter, and trained their weapons on the boat to ensure that the 19-year-old could not escape.
Thompson said Tsarnaev had already indicated to law enforcement officers that he was willing to surrender.
Dozens of officers had already been assigned a task, Sgt. Detective Sean Reynolds said, and when it came time to move in, FBI officials looked to four members the MBTA Transit Police team.
"We just happened to be in the right place in the right time," Reynolds said.
The conclusion of a weeklong manhunt was a relief, said Officer Jeff Campbell.
"We just want to get him into custody and have this situation come to an end – for us, for the families, for the city," Campbell said. "It needed to end."
The officers involved in the arrest had also taken part in the chase that led police from Cambridge to Watertown early Friday morning. At the time, Reynolds said, they did not know whether the shooting of an MIT police officer late Thursday night was related to the Marathon suspects.
"We couldn't imagine they were separate, but we had no idea," said Sgt. Detective Sean Reynolds.
"The adrenaline's pumping," he continued. "You're just trying to get there to stop it."
MBTA Transit Police Chief Paul MacMillan said he is hopeful that Donohue will make a full recovery. On Monday, he said, the officer's breathing tubes were removed and he has been able to breathe on his own.
"Each day we get more optimistic," MacMillan said.
Thompson said he and other MBTA officers had visited Donohue Monday, proud to tell him that they'd accomplished what Donohue had been attempting to do.
"I said, 'We got him., " Thompson said.

A deputy mistakenly shot and killed an innocent homeowner during a search for an armed ex-felon who had barricaded himself inside the victim's Pico Rivera house, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said Saturday.
Frank Mendoza was killed Friday night when the parolee allegedly broke into his home in the 9000 block of Rosehedge Drive and got into a shootout with deputies during an hours-long standoff, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Deputies entered the home in search of the suspected gunman, identified as 24-year-old Cedric Ramirez, and came across Mendoza, officials said.
U.S. & World
"Believing the man was Ramirez, a deputy fired two shots at that man. The man dropped unconscious in the doorway and was subsequently recognized to be one of the residents," said sheriff's Chief Bill McSweeney.
McSweeney said the incident remained under investigation.
Family members said Mendoza was six months away from retirement. The 54-year-old had also been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Mendoza lived at the home for more than 35 years, family members said. He looked forward to retiring from his 30-year career at Unified Grocers and spending time with the eight children he raised at the home.
Mendoza's wife, 60-year-old Lorraine Mendoza, was taken hostage during the standoff.
"From talking to my mother, she was locked in the bathroom, but from looking inside we know that there were gunshots fired through the bathroom," said her son, Jeremy Mendoza.
Deputies pulled Mendoza, who was slumped over in a doorway, from the home while the gunman was still inside holding his wife hostage, McSweeney said.
She was rescued and was unharmed.
Three other people who were inside the house were evacuated before Mendoza was shot, officials said.
The son said the family did not know Ramirez.
Ramirez was wanted on two outstanding felony warrants for being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm and taking a vehicle without the owner's consent, sheriff's officials said.
The standoff came to an end early Saturday after Ramirez was shot and killed when deputies attempted to re-enter the house. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Officials said a gun belonging to Ramirez was recovered there.
McSweeney did not identify the deputy who shot Mendoza, saying only that the deputy "has a very fine record."

Día de los Muertos is the perfect time of year for Mexican hot chocolate. This recipe is a twist on the classic plain chocolate caliente; it's spiced with chile guajillo, which lends a mildly spicy flavor and an earthy and fruity bouquet to this traditional beverage.
chocolate para mesa
Champurrado is Mexico's answer to hot chocolate. There's this place in Mexico City where my suegro loves to eat. It's a little family-owned restaurant called Merendero Las Lupitas, and he's friends with the owner.
Las Lupitas is situated on a corner in Coyoacán facing the Plaza Santa Caterina, in a two-story white building with these beautiful, dramatic thick cobalt blue accents around the windows. They have a heavy, rustic wooden door, and inside there's colorful papel picado strung across the ceiling. Lots of local art adorns the walls.
What I love about this place is that it's so traditional. The menu is pretty basic and the atmosphere emits a feeling like you're eating in a relative's home. Even the placemats, dishes and furniture are very modest. But don't be fooled by all the simplicity–each dish on the menu packs as much satisfaction as that of a fancy restaurant, minus the attitude and the cost.
Among the number of delicious, traditional items on the menu there, my suegro almost always orders a mug of atole at the end of his meal.
Atole is a hot drink, made with a nixtamal (corn) base from dissolving masa in water, sometimes with piloncillo, and heating until it becomes thick. It's a stick-to-your-ribs type drink that's guaranteed to keep you warm. It can come in many flavors; vanilla, chocolate and strawberry are most typical.
RELATED RECIPE: Atole de fresa
You can usually find quickie versions in a powdered packet in the grocery store, and they taste OK if you're in a bind and can't make the real deal. But the packets typically use powdered cornstarch as a thickening agent, so they lack the depth and flavor produced by using real masa as the drink's base. The chocolate version is called atole de chocolate or champurrado.
The basic steps of this recipe–minus the chocolate–can be used as a base to make plain atole (sometimes also called atole de vainilla; just add a teaspoon or so of vanilla extract). It is also the base for atole de fresa.
RELATED RECIPE: Atole de vainilla
There are two different ways I make champurrado at my house: the easy way and the hard way. This recipe is for the easy way. The more difficult method (a recipe taught to me by a friend) involves actually roasting cacao beans and grinding them in with the masa to get a more earthen chocolatey flavor. We'll save that for another day.
In the meantime, this recipe is plenty good, and reminds me of the down-to-earth style of Las Lupitas that our family has grown to love so much.
A note about my method for juicing the masa: I like to use thin-ply Gerber cloth diapers rather than cheesecloth because they strain more effectively and with much less mess. In addition, you can wash and reuse them because they're much sturdier than cheesecloth.
RELATED RECIPE: Atole de calabaza
Yield 6 servings
How to make the classic Mexican chocolate atole known as champurrado.
- 1 pound prepared masa* see note below
- 6 cups water
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 disc Mexican chocolate, chopped (Abuelita, Ibarra, or other brand)
- 3-4 small cones of piloncillo (about 1 ounce each, or one large cone weighing 3-4 ounces and chopped into small pieces)
- 3-4 small cinnamon sticks
- 1-2 tablespoons granulated cane sugar such as Zulka morena (if desired, to make it sweeter)
- Either cheesecloth or a very thin-ply cloth diaper to strain the dissolved masa
- A molinillo or a wooden spoon
- Measure out 6 cups of warm water into a large bowl. Submerge the masa and using your hands, dissolve the masa in the water until the water is cloudy and the dough is completely incorporated.
- Over another large bowl, preferably deeper rather than wider, lay the cheesecloth or diaper cloth across the top of the bowl. I know you must be thinking I'm kidding about a diaper cloth–a friend taught me about this trick & I've never used cheesecloth since. The diaper cloth is a much cleaner method and I personally prefer it because you can wash them out and reuse them; the cheesecloth doesn't strain as finely, makes more of a squirting mess and shouldn't be reused. The diaper cloths I like come in a 12-pack from Gerber. Again, I know it sounds weird and at first, I was skeptical when a friend shared this method with me, but trust me, it causes minimal mess compared to the cheesecloth.
- While holding the cloth in place, pour about one-third of the dissolved masa water into the cloth. Bring the ends of the cloth together to close it at the top and gently massage the bottom of the cloth to strain the water through. Be careful not to squeeze too hard because the water will squirt. Repeat until you've poured all the masa water through the cloth.
- Once you've massaged the cloth so there's no more water but still some clumps of masa, squeeze the cloth well to get any remaining water out. Discard the remaining masa from inside the cloth and pour the water into a deep pot.
- Place the pot over a medium flame and add the piloncillo (you can chop or grate the piloncillo before adding if you like), stirring with the molinillo or wooden spoon until it dissolves.
- Add the cinnamon once the piloncillo is incorporated.
- Constantly stir the water; as it heats, it will start to thicken. If you don't stir enough, depending on the masa you used, it can start to get clumpy–which you don't want. You will know the atole is thick enough to add the chocolate when the liquid leaves a coating on the back of your wooden spoon.
- Add the chopped chocolate and stir well with your spoon or molinillo.
- Add the milk, stirring constantly. If desired, add a little raw cane sugar to sweeten.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly; ladle into mugs.
*Either pre-made masa purchased from a tortilleria or homemade will work; if making at home using a masa harina product like Maseca, prepare to directions on packaging before proceeding. If you buy masa harina for home use, be sure you buy the one for making tortillas–not the one for making tamales. If you're really ambitious, you can grind your own nixtamal to make masa. I typically buy mine straight from the tortilleria.

After the week from hell, three days with a raging fever, and six days on antibiotics, Sunday I finally felt well enough to venture out. Well, okay, if I hadn't been headed to the Apple Store to buy my new iMac, I would have skipped the whole thing.
I'd been holding out for two years because my beloved iMac G4—aka MacGorgeous was six years old (that's about two in Mac years), and still ran like a champ, making it difficult to talk myself into plopping down the money to buy a new Mac when there's absolutely nothing wrong with the old one. Of course, with enough incentive, I could talk myself and anyone else into just about anything so it's not surprising that I somehow managed it. It did help that my daughter's PC went to the big Windows Cloud in the sky, and like her mama, Twinkle Toes is a Mac Girl. I decided that I'd go even greener—I do drive a Prius after all—I'd be even more environmentally friendly and recycle MacGorgeous, though there are some who might call me cheap, but let's not even go there. I doubled the memory, put a little bounce in MacGorgeous's beach ball, and with a tearful goodbye willed him to my daughter which seemed apropos since I felt like death…
I had been so excited, I was finally getting the iMac of my dreams. The one I would visit anytime I was within a twenty-mile radius of an Apple Store. The Mac with a screen big enough to land a plane on. AKA—MacDreamy (sigh)—the 27-inch iMac proving the old adage that size really does matter.
But by the time my husband and I got home, I didn't even open the box. I just asked DH to set MacDreamy up because I needed a nap. I was almost happy it took eight hours to complete. Who knew strep throat could pack such a punch?
Monday began early with my youngest waking me with 103 fever—yeah, she'd been feeling like crap since Saturday and I'd been delusional enough to think she had a cold. I told you I could talk myself into anything. I had no idea that cleaning up MacGorgeous and setting up MacDreamy would take all day when done in the midst of dealing with a sick kid and doctor's appointments. On the bright side, the lovely Apple Care people and I are now intimate friends.
Imagine my surprise when my son came home from a half-day of school (yeah, I'd forgotten about the whole half-day thing) so it was a double surprise when I noticed he carried a box addressed to me containing my new book, Wild Thing.
So to celebrate, my new book, my new iMac, and the loss of MacGorgeous who, I might add, looked stunning sitting on my desk right next to MacDreamy, I'm giving away two copies of Wild Thing to a lucky commenter. Reading your comments will give me something to do other than take care my son, who woke up this morning claiming illness too. Yeah, Santa really did come early…

Santa Came Early This Year...
After the week from hell, three days with a raging fever, and six days on antibiotics, Sunday I finally felt well enough to venture out. Well, okay, if I hadn't been headed to the Apple Store to buy my new iMac, I would have skipped the whole thing.

(sorry I noticed some typos in the last one)Wow! 27 inches IS MacDreamy! So sorry about the travelling illness in your house. We had it in our house last week, but it was mainly contained to my four year old and husband. It was actually a blessing in disguise because when I brought her into school yesterday I found out that PINK EYE made a round in pre-k last week and they had to disinfect everything over the weekend... Glad we dodged that bullet. I'm so excited that Wild Thing is coming out soon and I'd love to win a copy! I've been patiently(ish) waiting ever since I flew through your first four books at the beginning of this year. My heart still belongs to Mike and Annabelle, but I swear I'm married to Rich Ronaldi's twin.
Happy Mac'n :)

I am absolutely jealous about the new Mac. 27 inches sounds like a dream. Do you also have an apple laptop to write away from home?

I've been on the bubble about replacing my aging Hp with a Mac. MacDreamy hmmm? Now there's an incentive to hit the Apple store.
Sorry about the illness rounds, hope Twinkletoes loves her refurbished Mac and I can't wait to read about Wild Things!

Robin - Sorry everyone's been sick, but congrats on the arrival of MacDreamy, and of course, Wild Thing! I like how the cover art is more life-like/realistic than on the domestic gods books.

In case Santa Clause is reading your blog, Robin, I do not consider a house full of strep throat to be a fair trade for any computing device. Were you a bad girl this year or something?

LOL, Robin. Wow, you really DO get attached to your computers. Hope everyone in your family is feeling better and that you have a nice, long love affair with MacDreamy. :)

@ Gina~ LOL Rich Ronaldi's twin, huh? Well, at least he has some redeemable qualities--he's gorgeous, with a great sense of humor and he's amazing in every room but the kitchen. And yeah, you did dodge the bullet--Pink eye is the worst! Check back tomorrow to see if you've won a copy! Well, that's if I figure out how to post the winner. Maybe the other killers will help me...
@ Anonymous Woman - I have the first generation MacBook Air too and I adore it. The new ones are even nicer--yeah, I was drooling over those babies as well. I was one of those crazy people waiting outside the ATT store on the day the first iPhones were released. What a party! The only thing I'm missing is the iPad but I'm working on talking myself into it. Give me another few years, I'm a hard sell. LOL
@ Cathy - Yes, at 11:00 last night MacGorgeous made it up to Twinkle Toes's room. She went to bed with the remote in her hand and iTunes playing. She's a very happy ballerina--let's see if she can avoid coming down with Strep! My boy scout's fever is rising. God help me!
@Gail - Thanks! MacDreamy is making everything not seem so sucky but I'm worried I'll be making chicken soup for life!
@ Grace - Yeah, well...{hangs head in shame} You know me. When I'm good, I'm great, but when I'm bad, I'm better! Still, MacDreamy beats coal in my stocking--and yes, I've been on the receiving end of that and reindeer poop too.

@ Joya - Well Mac people do, I've never hear anyone lusting after an HP or a Dell, but maybe I just haven't noticed... Last week at Starbucks, my husband stop by to say hi and started laughing--one side of the store had mac people and the other had PC users--he called it the great divide. I told him he had to leave, he was sitting on the Mac side and he's a total Technoweenie, IT and Windows lover... In order to stay happily married, we have stopped the whole Mac VS PC debate. :)

Better you exercise the sickness demons now than at Thanksgiving or Christmas proper.
I have to say it must be true love if you can survive past a PC and Mac divide, even if you refrain from talking about it.

@ Paige - Thanks for the congrats on MacDreamy and Wild Thing. I'm pretty excited about the new book, too! Hunter Kincaid is one of my all-time favorite heroes. Sigh... I really loved writing him.
@ Diane- LOL I hadn't thought about the tax deduction part. This keeps getting better and better!
@ Anna - definitely better to get the bad stuff over with now and you're right about the true love part. He even helps me figure things out on my Macs sometimes which really has to chap his ass... I'm so not a techie.
@ CrystalGB - Thanks! Good luck in the drawing!

I am in need of a computer but I'm still on the fence about getting a Mac. I'm just so used to how a pc works. My husband loves his MacBook and is trying to convince me to get a MacBook (which he would take the new one and I would get his hand me down)

My Son became ill beginning Friday night. As of Saturday morning he felt like crud and I disinfected every touchable surface in the house because Daughter has a job and can't get sick, I take care of everyone else and can't get sick (again, I had a sinus infection last month and about ran myself ragged) and hubs can't get sick because he just started teaching a new class at work. So far Son is feeling much better (He bounded into my room yesterday morning. *g*) and no one else seems to be feeling badly. *knockonwood*
Congratulations on MacDreamy! *g* (Hubs and I are Mac people, I converted him years ago.)

@ Mary - Thanks for the congrats on the book, and yeah, MacDreamy is pretty spectacular, though I do miss my old keyboard, I'd worn the keys smooth and this new one feels rough to my fingertips--weird huh? Who'd a thunk?
@ Virginia - Thanks! I'll try to take care of him, though he must be getting better, he's asked what we were having for dinner a half dozen times in the last couple hours.
@ Sarah - once you go Mac, you never go back. It took me all of about a week to get used to living in a MacWorld--but my word and everything else were the same so I was almost as productive. I'd give it a try, keep the new one for yourself and if it's not for you, you could always give it to DH and he'll be happy...
@ Johanna - my pleasure!
@ Elizabeth - Maybe Santa could stick a picture of the cover model in your stocking--of course it will be attached to the book. I'll send him a note.
@ Brandy - I hope everyone your way stays healthy.
@ Julie - Yeah, MacDreamy is pretty shiny. Sigh.. Thanks for the good wishes!

Hi Robin - sorry to hear about everyone being sick. That's totally no fun. We did the same at work. One guy came in sick for a few days. He managed to pass it to me a few days later. I ended up being out for a week (doc wanted me to rest since it was so bad). Got worse from there - it went through our entire office. It took a little over a month, but I think we're clear of it now.
Congrats on Wild Thing! He looks like a McDreamy to me! Which reminds me, better put him on my Christmas wishlist! Hahaha. No, seriously. I will.

@ Diane - LOL Yeah, that's where my mind went too. I'm feeling better, thanks. Now all I have to do is get rid of the kids and pray my DH doesn't come down with it.
@ Barbara - I was thinking about the 24 inch but then these things last forever so I thought I might as well get what I really wanted. I spend more time with MacDreamy than just about anything else. {grin} I hope you enjoy Wild Thing!

Hi, Robin,
Wow. You have had a packed week. I'm sorry so much of it has been sickness. And its aftermath. One year (and I do mean year) the four of us gave strep back and forth for a year - until we got hit while we were out of town and the doc said, "I'm treating all of you!!" Finally ended the cycle. ... thought I'd mention it just in case.
Anyhoo, congrats on your new MacDreamy! I have a boring old PC, but he's faithful - and the DH bought a new HUGE monitor for it this year, so hey! MpcDreamy! :D
Love the hunky cover - can't wait to read your latest!

Director J.J. Abrams proved with 2009's "Star Trek" that it is OK to boldly go where others had gone before, as long as the journey is exciting, original, entertaining and respectful to legions of loyal fans. His film, which found the balance between reprising and reimagining, was a direct hit.
In his second voyage on the Starship Enterprise, Abrams has perfected that approach. "Star Trek Into Darkness" is the best work since Gene Roddenberry brought the franchise to life in the 1960s.
Abrams shows a deep and passionate loyalty for all of the incarnations of "Star Trek," while also bringing a fresh approach that makes the familiar seem all the more fabulous.
"Star Trek Into Darkness" has the Enterprise crew taking on a threat that has the power to wipe out Starfleet Command. It's up to the impulsive Capt. James Kirk (Chis Pine) to lead a mission to stop the threat. It's a mission that means going against almost every regulation in the Starfleet manual.
The warp power of the film comes from Pine, who has managed to channel the cockiness and swagger that William Shatner used to breathe life into the character a half century ago without going so far as to make Kirk a caricature.
As with the original series, Kirk's brashness has a damper in Mr. Spock (Zachary Quinto). It would have been easy for Quinto to play Spock's lack of emotion in a robotic, wooden manner. The original Spock, as a half human and half Vulcan, could control his emotions. This Spock is a few percent more human, which allows for just enough emotion to give Quinto some additional room to play.
The entire cast is just as reverent and original when it comes to taking over the familiar characters. That's why scenes without Kirk or Spock resonate with the same energy.
Action films live or die by their villain. And "Star Trek Into Darkness" gets plenty of life from Benedict Cumberbatch as the mysterious John Harrison. He has the kind of larger-than-life presence to play the foreboding foe Kirk needs. There's a lot more to the character, but like so much of the film, there are some things that are best discovered during the voyage.
What happens between Kirk and Harrison is delivered at a breath-taking pace. The movie starts at warp speed and never slows until the haunting refrains of the original theme song herald the arrival of the closing credits.
The film moves so quickly, it's hard to pick up the many references to past "Star Trek" offerings. Despite all of these hidden gems, the script by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof can be just as easily enjoyed by those not familiar with the franchise. It's a solid summer movie thrill ride for anyone willing to buy a ticket.
Abrams showed with his original foray into the "Star Trek" world that he had the vision and creative might to relaunch the franchise. With this second turn at the helm, he's taken that groundwork and launched it into a whole new galaxy of fun and entertainment.
As long as Abrams is in charge, the new "Star Trek" movies will live long and prosper.
Grade: A
Rated PG-13 for violence, language. Stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Alice Eve, Simon Pegg, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Cho, Anton Yelchin. Directed by J.J. Abrams. Running time: 2 hours, 12 minutes.
