"Forbidden Kingdom" Rules Box Office
The tale of a modern American teen hurtled back in time to a kung fu adventure in ancient China, "The Forbidden Kingdom" features Asian superstars Chan and Li in multiple roles and their first big-screen duel.
"I couldn't believe it had never been done before," said Harvey Weinstein, whose Weinstein Co. released "The Forbidden Kingdom" along with partner Lionsgate.
Universal's romantic comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," starring Jason Segel as a nice guy who's dumped by his glamorous girlfriend (Kristen Bell), opened in second place with $17.3 million. It's the latest from producer Judd Apatow ("Knocked Up").
The previous weekend's No. 1 movie, the slasher remake "Prom Night," fell to third with $9.1 million, raising its total to $32.6 million.
Al Pacino's serial killer thriller "88 Minutes," from Sony's TriStar Pictures, was a dud, premiering at No. 4 with $6.8 million. The movie stars Pacino as a crime profiler who receives a call telling him he has 88 minutes to live.
"Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed," a rare documentary opening in wide release, debuted at No. 9 with $3.1 million. Released by Rocky Mountain Pictures, the film features Ben Stein as he challenges Darwinian theories that prevail in academic circles and suggests that life could have emerged through intelligent design.
In narrower release, the Weinstein Co. documentary "Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?" bombed with just $143,299 in 102 theaters, averaging a paltry $1,405 a cinema. "Forbidden Kingdom" averaged $6,623 in 3,151 theaters.
A globe-trotting hunt for the al Qaeda leader, "Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?" was directed by Morgan Spurlock, who made the hit documentary "Super Size Me."
With a PG-13 rating, "The Forbidden Kingdom" proved a family friendly film compared to more action-intense martial arts flicks. The movie is part of a new Asian line of films from the Weinstein Co., including an upcoming remake of "Seven Samurai."
"I have three daughters who have never seen a martial arts movie, and they loved this," Weinstein said. "A lot of females identify with it. That's the audience that's going to grow. I think we'll get young girls and moms next weekend."
Overall receipts were up for the first time in a month as Hollywood lumbers through a prolonged dry spell. The top 12 movies took in $82.1 million, up 12 percent from the same weekend last year.
"There is a collective sigh of relief in Hollywood," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box office tracker Media By Numbers. "This is overdue and much needed as we head toward the beginning of the summer season."
Movie attendance is running 6.5 percent behind that of 2007, according to Media By Numbers.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. "The Forbidden Kingdom," $20.9 million.
2. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," $17.3 million.
3. "Prom Night," $9.1 million.
4. "88 Minutes," $6.8 million.
5. "Nim's Island," $5.7 million.
6. "21," $5.5 million.
7. "Street Kings," $4 million.
8. "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!", $3.5 million.
9. "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed," $3.1 million.
10. "Leatherheads," $3 million.

Say hello to major junior hockey's newest franchise: The Victoria Royals. Armed with a classy logo and a color scheme that includes two types of blue, the Royals are ready to compete in the Western Hockey League starting in 2011-12.
Victoria Royals Thru the Years
Victoria is no stranger to junior hockey. It played home to the Victoria Cougars in the WHL until they relocated to Prince George in 1994.
Fans of the team will remember some very popular players from back in the day.
- Grant Fuhr
- Barry Pederson
- Joel Savage
- Brad Palmer
- Gary Lupal
- Curt Fraser
- Wade Flaherty
- Geoff & Russ Courtnall
- Mel Bridgman
- Greg Adams
- Len Barry
- Mark Cipriano
- Micah Aivazoff
- Brent Thurston
- Torrie Robertson
- Paul Cyr
Now, after a 17 year layoff, Vancouver Island has a major junior team again.
The Royals are the relocated version of the Chilliwack Bruins. Two minority owners wanted to buy the team in keep it in Chilliwack but the remaining Bruins partners outvoted them and decided to sell the franchise.
The new ownership group announced on April 20, 2011 that the sale was approved and the team would move to Victoria.
The Royals will begin play this fall. Who will emerge as the star of this team? Could it be Czech forward Lukas Kralik, whom they selected this past June at the CHL Import Draft?
The team will be looking for a new go-to scorer now that Ryan Howse, who dominated for Chilliwack, is done his eligibility.
Three cheers to Victoria for getting junior hockey back!

Katherine Blunt | The Colorado Springs Gazette
The Front Range Pipeline that runs through eastern El Paso County has positioned Colorado to take advantage of the burgeoning market for natural gas liquids.
The pipeline, which began operating in February, is expected to become increasingly important as the state's production of natural gas liquids (NGLs) continues to grow. Last year, the Denver-Julesburg basin produced about 53,000 barrels of NGLs per day; by 2019, that number is expected to nearly double, according to research by Bentek Energy, a Denver-based energy analytics firm.
NGLs include ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline.
Every day, the 435-mile pipeline transports about 80,000 barrels of NGLs from Weld County, which sits atop the Denver-Julesburg basin, to Skellytown, Texas. There, it connects to the Texas Express pipeline, which carries the liquids to Mont Belvieu, Texas, the largest NGL hub in the country. The liquids are then stored, processed and distributed.
Construction of the pipeline, which extends about 24 miles through northeastern El Paso County, began last year. It runs underneath more than 50 tracts of private property in the county, according to public records, and lies at least 3 feet below the ground.
The companies that own the pipeline — Texas-based Enterprise Product Partners and Anadarko Petroleum and Denver-based DCP Midstream — had to purchase rights-of-way from the property owners before moving forward with the project. The companies, which together form Front Range Pipeline LLC, secured 25-foot easements on both sides of the pipeline that restrict property owners' use of that space.

The El Paso County Public Services department required a $3.3 million bond for Front Range's use of county roads to construct the pipeline. The corporation will pay property taxes after the State Department of Revenue assesses value of the pipeline and apportions it to the affected counties next year. Until then, no one can say how much the county might receive.
The joint venture offers Colorado NGL producers a direct route to Mont Belvieu. Before construction of the Front Range Pipeline, Colorado NGL producers transported their products using the Overland Pass and Mid-America pipelines, both of which pass through the state's oil and gas basins. But neither connects directly to Mont Belvieu.
"Producers in (the Denver-Julesburg basin) now have the capacity to ramp up their drilling plans," said Rick Rainey, vice president of public relations for Enterprise.
By 2020, the pipeline's daily transport volume is expected to increase to 107,000 barrels per day because of the projected expansion of the NGL market, Rainey said. It has the capacity to carry 150,000 barrels per day.
The boom in the NGL market is largely a result of a drop in domestic natural gas prices and an increase in crude oil prices, according to research by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The development of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology during the past decade allowed oil and gas producers to extract large amounts of natural gas from dry shale plays. But supply exceeded demand, pushing prices down and encouraging producers to turn to crude oil and NGLs, two commodities that often correlate in price.
"Producers have been focusing their efforts on oil and liquid-rich plays to achieve the highest returns they can," said Jennifer Van Dinter, manager of NGL analysis at Bentek. "Targeting wet gas plays has been a key strategy for their production growth."
NGL production in the Denver-Julesberg basin pales in comparison to other wet gas plays. In 2013, the Eagle Ford basin in Texas produced 543,000 barrels per day. By 2019, that number is expected to reach 900,000 barrels per day, according to Bentek research.
Van Dinter said the Front Range pipeline will play a key role in the development of Colorado's NGL reserves because pipeline infrastructure is limited. Producers in the Williston Basin, a large oil and gas play underlying parts of Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota, are now competing with Colorado producers to use the Overland Pass pipeline.
"Front Range (Pipeline) gives the Rockies another avenue to move liquids down to the Gulf Coast," she said.
Despite a projected increase in the need for NGLs during the next decade, supply is expected to grow faster than demand, according to Bentek research. NGL suppliers are evaluating demand in overseas markets.
"We will definitely require exports to balance the NGL market," Van Dinter said. "We currently send natural gas up to Canada for their oil sands projects. With propane and butane, we are building (liquefied petroleum gas) export terminals. Where they will go is something we're trying to learn more about here."
The United States has never shipped ethane overseas, but exports may begin soon. Last month, Enterprise announced its plans to build an ethane export terminal in Houston. It's expected to begin operations in 2016.
"(Exporting ethane) is still a little bit of a situation that has to be proven because we have never exported via ship," Van Dinter said. "Actually moving it across water theoretically works, but we haven't tried it."
Regardless of how the NGL market evolves, Front Range revenue is largely insulated against fluctuations in demand. To use the pipeline, producers must enter a 10-year contract that requires them to ship a fixed amount of NGLs. If a producer ships less than that amount, it must pay the difference. The ship-or-pay model is common in the pipeline industry, Rainey said.
He declined to reveal how many contracts Front Range has acquired.

Nuits Sonores 2015: Making the Most of 12 Hours in Lyon
Combining my two interests of running from uni work and trying to explore a city in an inordinately short amount of time, last Friday I spent the night in Lyon for Day Three of the annual Nuits Sonores Festival. Nuits Sonores is an urban festival, taking place all over the City of Lyon during the Ascension weekend.
Knowing I'd be staying up all night (the event was running from 9pm-5am, so I decided to save on hotels and just get a commuter train back to Basel in the morning), coffee was in order.
When I arrived in Lyon it was drizzling, but luckily the nighttime events were taking place in the Ancien Marché du gros, a collection of disused industrial buildings which were lit up for the occasion. Despite being fairly central, they weren't that easy to find, so the lava lamp visuals projected onto the side of the main hall were not only snazzy but practical too.
Having arrived at a time that most would consider devastatingly uncool (before 11pm!) I was there to catch Blue Daisy, who's electro-rap stylings were going down very well with the crowd. (Though it doesn't look very full in the photo above, the halls were huge!)
I was also there early enough to get some drinks tokens before the queues built up (and over the course of the night, they really did build up.) and to grab something to eat:
This being France, there wasn't an abundance of vegetarian options among the impressive line of food trucks. Among them I managed to track down the fantastic Bão Kitchen who were serving up some tasty veggie bão – savoury buns filled with diced vegetables and smothered in sweet chilli sauce. I may or may not have gone back for seconds before the night was out…
Next I headed over to the third and smallest hall for the brilliantly named Jessica93, a post-punk one man band from Paris who was looping and layering some shoegazey noises and getting some interesting results. Hall 3 seemed to be home to the more eclectic acts of the night, as demonstrated by the next band, Future of the Left.
I had barely heard of Future of the Left before Nuits Sonores, and I demand to know why nobody told me about them. This shouty alt-rock band from Cardiff were the unexpected highlight of the night for me, although they weren't exactly at home among the electro-house pumping out from the other two halls. They might not have drawn the biggest crowd at the festival, but it was certainly the most rowdy. The guitarist brought a number of bananas onto the stage, and one by one fed them to enthusiastic crowd members during the set. In this cut throat music industry it's great to see a band that takes the time to worry about their fans' potassium intake.
Next up was the act I had come all this way for – Public Service Broadcasting. Credit to Rosie for taking me and Bill to see them last year and getting me hooked. This was before their new album The Race For Space was released, and I was excited to hear some of the new tracks live. They didn't disappoint. Along with some favourites from their debut album, they played Gargarin and Go! from the new album, both of which got a great reaction from the crowd and rightly so.
By this time the larger halls were starting to get really full, so I went over to check out Brodinski in hall 2. I loved his solo release, Dance Like Machines, so I had high hopes for his set. I was a little disappointed. This is probably an unpopular opinion but as one of the more sober members of the crowd I felt slightly unimpressed with the repetitive beats and lacklustre mixing, which fell short of being redeemed by the impressive lights, and the visuals dredged up from the depths of the uncanny valley. Some of his set is of course on youtube, so you can listen to it here and draw your own conclusions.
All in all, Nuits Sonores Night 3 was fantastic, and I'll definitely try and head back for next year!
Were you there? Can you recommend any other festivals in the area? Let me know in the comments!

We never have shared nodes for codes that need The vast majority of our customers/users do. Limited resources, they have to balance performance against cost and opportunity cost. Sadly not every user has an infinite budget to invest in contention free hardware (nodes, fabrics, or disks). So they have to maximize the utilization of what they have, while (hopefully) not trashing the efficiency too badly. > multiple cores since be built our first SMP cluster > in 2001.

Yes this happens as well, but some users simply have no choice. > > Even at TACC (62000+ cores) with 16 cores per node, nodes > are dedicated to jobs. I think every user would love to run on a TACC like system. I think most users have a budget for something less than 1/100th the size. Its easy to forget how much resource (un)availability constrains actions when you have very large resources to work with.

It's almost like 1998 all over again, the way Amazon and eBay keep ratcheting up their efforts to attract customers and provide more-personalized shopping experiences.
The latest shots the online retailers fired came on Tuesday, with Amazon looking to strike at what has long-been one of eBay's bread-and-butter business areas: the market for celebrity collectible items. Amazon launched what it is calling its Entertainment Collectibles story, with an inventory of more than 350,000 items, such as memorabilia from Oscar and Grammy-award winners.
Meanwhile, at eBay , the online retailer debuted what was being called the biggest redesign of its homepage in the company's history—big because it potentially will be a different homepage for every eBay user.
"There is something for everyone," Peter Faricy, vice president of Amazon Marketplace, said in a statement about the company\'s new collectibles business. "Fans will find keepsake items from their favorite artists, actors and icons of entertainment, and aficionados will discover some of the rarest items for their collections."
Amazon may be hoping to capitalize on the Oscar hopes of the movie "Silver Linings Playbook," which is up for Best Picture at Sunday's award ceremony, because Amazon highlighted the film in its announcement. Among the items from the film now on the site are a running outfit that Best Actress nominee Jennifer Lawrence wore in the movie (which can be yours for just $2,499.99) and a copy of "A Farewell To Arms" that Best Actor nominee Bradley Cooper throws out a window in a fit over author Ernest Hemmingway's storytelling.
At eBay, the company is rolling out a personalized shopping "feed" that consumers can tailor to their interests and likes. Are you really into "Downton Abbey"? Add it to your feed and you fill find an almost unlimited number of opportunities to buy DVD sets of the PBS hit series. Looking for an iPhone? Same thing. Are you a big fan of "Silver Linings Playbook" actor Bradley Cooper? Well, you can satiate your interest, and even refine it to the point where your feed results just include Cooper's movies, or magazines where he is mentioned, or just about anything involving the winner of People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive award in 2011. (A copy of that magazine is available on eBay for $39.99 from one seller).
A visit to ebay.com/new provides a tutorial about how to design one's site feed with eBay, including a note from eBay president Devin Wenig, which explains the company's reasoning behind its new personalization efforts.
"We\'re committed to delivering more inspiring, more intuitive ways to browse and buy the things that matter to you most," Wenig said. "The more interests you add, the more your homepage reflects you."
According to comScore, total U.S. online spending grew 15% in January for retail – so both Amazon and eBay are pushing hard to keep share in a still-growing market.

Pilot was hailed as a
hero in '72 hijacking
Reginald Levy, 88, a pilot praised for his cool-headed bravery during a 1972 hijacking by Palestinian militants, died of a suspected heart attack or blood clot Aug. 1 in Dover, England, his family said.
Levy was a pilot for Belgian airline Sabena when he took off from Brussels bound for Tel Aviv on May 8, 1972 — his 50th birthday — with 90 passengers onboard.
Mid-journey, the Boeing 707 was hijacked by four armed members of the group Black September, who ordered Levy to land at Israel's Lod — now Ben Gurion — airport and threatened to blow up the plane if Israel did not release more than 300 Palestinian prisoners.
Levy's response was admirably calm, even though one of the passengers was his wife, Dora.
He kept talking to the hijackers to keep them calm. Sent to convey messages from the militants to Israeli authorities led by Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, Levy gave the Israelis detailed descriptions of the attackers' numbers, weapons and positions.
After almost 24 hours, commandos disguised as airplane mechanics stormed the plane, killing two of the hijackers and capturing the other two.
Among the commandos were Ehud Barak, now Israel's defense minister, and the current prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Several passengers were injured, but none was killed.
"Every one of us is lucky to be alive," Levy said after the attack. "I have had some tough times, but this was my toughest."
Levy's behavior earned him the admiration of Israeli authorities — and the enmity of Black September, which issued threats against him.
Born in Blackpool, England, in 1922, Levy flew bombers for the Royal Air Force during World War II, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross. After the war, he took part in the Berlin airlift before joining Sabena as a commercial pilot. He retired in 1982.
Founding bass guitarist
of L.A. punk band Fear
Derf Scratch, 58, founding bass guitarist of the pioneering Los Angeles punk band Fear, died July 28 in Camarillo. He had liver disease.
He was born Frederick Charles Milner III — "Derf" was "Fred" spelled backward — in 1951 in Monmouth, N.J., and grew up in Temple City.
In the late 1970s, Scratch joined Fear as it was forming in the San Fernando Valley, and the guitarist became a key player in Southern California's early punk scene. In raucous, live performances, the band developed a savage yet sarcastic sound. Fear's 1978 debut single was "I Love Livin' in the City," a snarly swipe at Hollywood.
After comedian John Belushi met Scratch at a Hollywood music store, he hung out with Fear. At Belushi's insistence, the band was booked on "Saturday Night Live" on Halloween 1981 for what turned into an infamous appearance — slam-dancing punk fans got out of hand, damaging NBC studio equipment and injuring themselves.
That same year, Scratch showed up in the Penelope Spheeris film "The Decline of Western Civilization," which documented the Los Angeles punk rock scene and Fear's crowd-baiting antics.
Fear released its first full-length album, "The Record," in 1982, and Scratch soon left the group. More recently, he had played with the Werewolfs and was seriously injured in 2006 in a car accident after one of the band's Hollywood shows.
Soviet expert and
Stalin biographer
Robert Tucker, 92, a Princeton University professor emeritus who was an authority on Josef Stalin, the Soviet Union and Marxism, died of pneumonia July 29 at his home in Princeton, N.J., the university announced.
Tucker was an attache in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow for nine years during Stalin's rule. He published two biographies of Stalin and several works on Karl Marx.
Tucker arrived at Princeton in 1962 and the next year became founding director of the university's Russian studies program. He was a faculty member until 1984.
Born May 29, 1918, in Kansas City, Mo., he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees at Harvard University, then worked for the U.S. Office of Strategic Services from 1942 to 1944. Tucker also was a Rand Corp. researcher and taught at Indiana University before joining Princeton.

Please Hear What I Am Not Saying
an adaptation by Dr. David Wiesner
original by Charles C. Finn
Don't be fooled by me.
Don't be fooled by this mask that I wear.
For I wear a thousand masks and none of them are really me.
Masks that I'm too afraid to take off, fearing that you'll get to know me.
Pretending is an art that is second nature to me.
I'm pretending that I am in command and that I need no one.
That I'm cool and that my surface is so smooth and I cannot be shaken by anything.
I act as if I am in control, but please don't for one moment be fooled by my surface, that's only my mask.
Beneath this mask lies no smugness, no complacence.
Beneath this mask dwells the real me in confusion, loneliness, and fear.
But I don't dare tell you that.
I don't dare tell you that this is my mask.
I'm frightened by all the possibilities of my weaknesses being exposed.
I think about it all the time. Will I look like a fool?
That's why I work frantically to create this mask to hide behind in my relationship with people.
This nonchalant, sophisticated facade helps me pretend and shields me from the glance that knows me.
But such a glance is precisely my only salvation.
It's my only salvation if, however, the glance is followed by acceptance and love.
It's the only thing that can liberate me from myself, from my own self-built prison...from the barriers that I have so painstakingly created.
It is only that glance that will assure me of what I cannot assure in myself and, that is, that I am really worth something.
But I don't tell you this. I don't dare to. I'm afraid to. I'm afraid that your glance will not be followed by acceptance and love.
I'm afraid that you'll think less of me...that you'll laugh and that your laugh would kill me.
I'm afraid that deep-down I am nothing. That I'm just no good and soon you're going to find out and you'll no longer love me...that you'll reject me.
So I play my game. My desperate, pretending game with the facades of assurance from without and that of a trembling little child from within.
And my life becomes a front.
And I idly chatter to you in suave tones about anything that really means nothing.
And yet I can never tell about the crying inside of me...of my greatest hurts...of my deepest fears...my concerns.
I can't tell you that because I am afraid.
So please listen carefully not to what I am saying, but to what I am not saying.
To what I'd like to be able to say. And for what my very own survival I need to say.
I dislike this hiding...honestly.
I dislike this phony, superficial game I'm playing.
I really would like to be genuine and spontaneous and me.
But you've got to help me.
You've got to hold out your hand.
You've got to hold out your hand even when it appears to you that it's the last thing I want from you, because I am going to share a secret with you about myself;
the moment I act like I need you the least is the moment I need you the most.
The moment I act like I need you the least is the moment I need you the most.
Don't be fooled by this mask. When you see anger in this mask, don't be fooled for one second...that's not anger, that's hurt.
The mask of anger is easier to show than the mask of hurt.
And if we make the error of looking at people's masks only to see anger on their face, we may end up in a confrontation only because we missed the point.
You have the power to wipe away this blank stare of the "breathing dead" beneath this mask.
It will not be easy for you.
Long felt hurts make my masks endure. The nearer you approach me the harder I may strike back.
Irrationally, I fight against the very thing that I cry out for - my identity.
You may wonder who I am. You shouldn't.
Don't be fooled by the face I wear.
I am someone you know very well.
I am every man and woman and child.
I am you.
Remember this when dealing with your students.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian Robin Williams, recovering from heart surgery, will resume his "Weapons of Self-Destruction" stand-up tour in September, his representatives said on Wednesday.
Williams, 57, had to postpone the tour in early March after complaining of shortness of breath. He had surgery that month at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio to replace his aortic valve, repair his mitral valve and correct an irregular heartbeat.
Williams, who got a transplanted cow heart valve in the operation, was scheduled to make his first major public appearance on Wednesday on CBS' "The Late Show with David Letterman."
"This little break has given me more energy than ever," Williams said in a statement. "Plus it's wonderful to have a cow valve ... if you don't mind the grazing, it's quite invigorating."
Replacing a faulty aortic valve with a valve from a cow is a common method of treating the heart ailment.
Williams, known for his manic stand-up routine steeped in wacky accents and improvisation, will resume his tour on September 30 in Bloomington, Indiana.
The resumed tour has 29 dates, including stops in Atlanta, Detroit and Washington. It ends November 28 in Atlantic City.
Williams won an Oscar for his supporting role as a psychologist in the 1997 drama "Good Will Hunting." He will reprise his role as the late U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt in the comedy sequel "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" that opens on May 22.

Back when I was growing up, in the dark days before the Internet, there were very few ways to learn about sex.
There were, on occasion, a few glimpses of nudie pictures – usually someone's older brother's Playboy. But these pictures were inert and added to the mystery surrounding sex, instead of offering illumination.
As a child of the eighties, I looked to TV for entertainment, for knowledge, for guidance. I shunned all books. In fact, I never noticed any books in my house, though I now know there must have been books, my father being a reader. Who needed books when they had TV? But TV never spoke of sex. At least not directly. Obliquely maybe, cleverly, but I was a boy who had no finer senses. Even as a grown man subtlety is still somewhat baffling.
It was my best friend who first drew my attention to the strange rectangular objects grown ups and dorks read. He was the first to show me that there was a link between books, reading and sex.
His father liked to read big, fat, trashy novels, which he left about the house when they had revealed their secrets and were useless to him. My best friend would have to move these spent entertainments from chairs before sitting, tables before eating and in the bathroom he would have to kick aside an overfull basket of novels to do his business.
It was in the bathroom that he made his discovery.
At twelve my best friend was my confidante, there was very little he did not know about me and little I didn't know about him. By thirteen, however, there were secrets. One of which was knowledge of what was contained in these books. My best friend did not share his forbidden fruit with me.
Overnight, my best friend became a reader. This felt like a betrayal. Wasn't TV good enough for him?
Every time I saw him he was reading a new book. I only lived two doors from him so I saw him at least five times a day. Five fat books a day? Boy! that kid could read...
Then I began to notice him using a patronising tone whenever our discussions turned to the subject of girls and sex. We were thirteen, all of our discussions turned to girls and sex. This tone was annoying and would have lead to a complete rupture had not his secret been revealed.
"I know because I read about it!" he said, in the midst of a heated of a dispute about the mechanics of sex.
"You read about it? There is sex in books!?"
To prove his point he had to find the book and the particular passage. We went into his house and wandered from place to place picking up this book and that. Each time he would do the same thing. He'd hold the book in his palm and let the book flop open by itself. He'd scan the open pages and then say, "No, that's not it."
Finally, he discovered the passage and showed me. Mamma Mia! My eyes almost popped out of my head. Here, in print were all the words we were told were forbidden. Here, in words, were all of the acts we were told were forbidden. The rudest, filthiest practices known to mankind were between the covers of these seemingly innocuous objects.
And my best friend's father left them around the house for the whole world to see!
There was a book called The Godfather, another called Shogun, and books by James A. Michener, Wilbur Smith, Sidney Sheldon, Harold Robbins and on and on and on. Some opened easily on the pertinent passages, some hid their lessons deep within pages of boring clap-trap, and some made you feel like a prospector panning for gold, sifting through the mud and the slime for a few lines of smut.
And then suddenly you'd discover a copy of Clan of the Cave Bears and a cry would ring out of the mountains – Eureka! (Just imagine if our parents were more imaginative and owned copies of Story of 'O', Henry Miller's Sexus or the Marquis de Sade?)
I certainly looked at adults differently after the discovery. Is that why they were always trying to get us to read?
And apparently, we were both slow on the uptake. We soon learnt that his sisters and my sisters had known all along that there was sex in books. Their books had sex in them. Virginia Andrews, Jackie Collins, Jacqueline Susan.
Even Judy Blume!
Years later, some of these books and their detailed accounts of sex lead to problems. One girl I knew had read in a Harold Robbin's novel that a girl will know she has lost her virginity because her lover will bite hard on her earlobe at the crucial moment. Another friend had almost ended up in traction trying to re-enact a favourite scene from an Eric Van Lustbader novel.
My best friend's discovery lead to me reading. True, this was an inauspicious beginning to my reading life. In fact, it was years before I read an adult novel in its entirety, from cover to cover. And when I did, the choice, Jaws, did not encourage further attempts.
But by then I didn't need books in the same way. So, after reading Jaws, I gave up reading for a time.
The beginnings of my other reading life, which began a few years later, had nothing to do with sex… well, not as much to do with sex. So I'll leave that story for another time.
It all must seem a little quaint to modern kids who gain a thorough knowledge of the ins and outs of sex the first time they search for images of the Wiggles on Google or look up Enid Blyton's series of novels – The Adventurous Four, or watch music clips on Rage on a Sunday morning. But in the eighties if you wanted to know stuff, you had two options – TV and Books.
If you wanted to know forbidden stuff, however, there was only one option, the trash your parents read.

Do ideas about information and reality inspire fruitful new approaches to the hardest problems of modern physics? What can we learn about the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, the beginning of the universe and our understanding of black holes by thinking about the very essence of information? The answers to these questions are surprising and enlightening, but also controversial. The topic of information within physics has involved some of the 20th century\'s greatest scientists in long-running intellectual battles that continue to the present day.

Cooking workshop

The cooking workshop was so much fun! Ian, Michelle, Cathryn, Mickey
and I prepared Greek chicken casserole and upside-down chocolate fudge
pudding in my suite. I was surprised to find myself helping Michelle
and Mickey learn how to chop onions, mince garlic, and measure flour.
I guess I did manage to learn how to cook somewhere along the way…
We brought the completed dishes to the group dinner and had a lot of
fun trying out other people's dishes. It was awesome, and I look
forward to doing it again.

Daniel Radcliffe in a murder story involving the icons of the Beat Generation. Keri Russell in comedy about a woman obsessed with Jane Austen. Kristen Bell as a lifeguard in a dangerous relationship. And the return of the filmmaker behind the sci-fi indie classic Primer.
These are among the films making their debut in the competition category at the Sundance Film Festival, which runs January 17-27 in Park City, Utah.
Other announcements — such as those for the Midnight Movie and Premiere sections — will come in the days ahead, but first the festival likes to highlight those films that will be competing for the jury prizes this year.
As for trends, this year … ?
Sundance Festival director John Cooper and Trevor Groth, the chief programer, share a look before venturing forward with slight smiles.
"We did see a trend in the way sexual relationships are handled, across all the programs," Cooper says. "Meaning, the head-on approach the filmmakers are taking to explore sexual relationships in our modern society. Also, I think, it's interesting to show sex both as power and sex as a human need and desire. And we see the perspective of both men and women. It permeates the whole program — bold and clear and authentic."
"Historically, we've always had a film or two that really delved into this," adds Groth. "Even last year with The Sessions, it was like that. But this year it came in a wave that we really felt. I find that interesting, to analyze: What was out there in the filmmaking community, and the world, that triggered this exploration of where we're at with sexual relationships?"
Among the competition films that fit that group are Afternoon Delight, with Kathryn Hahn (TV's Parks and Recreation) as a housewife who hires a stripper (The Dark Knight Rises' Juno Temple) as her nanny; Kristen Bell in The Lifeguard, as a woman sleeping with a high-school kid, and Concussion, with Robin Weigert (TV's Sons of Anarchy) as a woman who wakes up from an accident determined to shake off her old life. It also comes into play with Touchy Feely, the latest from Humpday and Your Sister's Sister filmmaker Lynn Shelton, with Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston and Josh Pais in the story of a massage therapist who develops an aversion to human contact.
Harry Potter star Radcliffe continues to move away from The Boy Who Lived by taking on the role of Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, which co-stars Dexter's Michael C. Hall and Boardwalk Empire's Jack Huston (this time without the half-mask) in the story of a murder involving the founding writers of the Beat Generation.
And Russell, who had the indie hit Waitress at the festival in 2007, returns as a lovesick woman looking for love in 19th century places in Austenland, from director Jerusha Hess, the co-writer of Napoleon Dynamite.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's Rooney Mara co-stars with Casey Affleck in the lyrical Ain't Them Bodies Saints, about a pair of escaped prisoners fleeing the law in the hills of Texas, while Octavia Spencer, the best supporting actress Oscar-winner from The Help, turns up opposite Chronicle's Michael B. Jordan in Fruitvale, based on the true story of a young man's final day before being cut down by police.
Among the straight-up comedies, Groth said, include Smashed director James Ponsoldt's The Spectacular Now, starring Miles Teller (Project X) as a high school kid trying to rescue a shy girl, played by Shailene Woodley (The Descendants); and Toy's House, about three runaway boys, co-starring Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, and Alison Brie — among several others that walk the line between darkness and humor. "There were some years when I'd say we didn't have a single comedy in our competition," Groth adds with a shrug.
"I know …" Cooper groans. "How did we make it through?"
Fans of Sundance past will be eager to see Upstream Color, the first feature from writer-director Shane Carruth since his low-fi but deeply beloved time-travel story Primer. It's hard to tell what it's actually about, based on the vague description in the programming announcement, but it sounds like another variation on a sci-fi theme, about a man and woman "entangled in the life-cycle of an ageless organism."

Measles is one of the world's most highly contagious viral diseases. For years, measles has been rare in the United States, thanks to immunization. But recently, that has changed. With the number of measles cases on the rise, it is vital for parents and caregivers to be well informed on ways they can protect their children.
Immunizations against diseases such as measles are especially important when your family travels internationally. Even though endemic (widespread outbreak) measles was eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, travelers returning from or visiting from other countries have been linked to most of the cases of measles reported in the US. Because outbreaks do occur, it is important for your child to be fully immunized and protected.

Three weeks after securing his first Challenge Tour title, Raymond Russell returned to Italy to lead the Doubletree by Hilton Acaya Open thanks to a five under par 65 in the first round.
The Scotsman, who turns 40 next week, won the Challenge Provincia di Varese in northern Italy last month, and the south of the country proved as productive a hunting ground as he notched six birdies and one bogey at the stunning Acaya Golf Resort near Lecce.
That gave him a one shot lead over Denmark's Joachim B Hansen, while Spaniard Raul Quiros and Englishmen Chris Lloyd and Matthew Southgate had two under par rounds of 68.
Only eight players were under par in the first round as strong winds and thick rough proved a stern test, but Russell capitalised with some straight hitting.
"I played well today," said Russell, who played on The European Tour between 1996, the year he won the Air Frances Cannes Open, and 2006. "It's the sort of course where you have to keep it on the fairway, otherwise you are in huge trouble. That's what I did – it's simple when you can do that.
"It's similar to the course in Varese in that you have to keep out of the rough, but it's even tougher here. I had a great four at the seventh after hitting it in the water off the tee. I hit my second shot to the front of the green and chipped in.
"Winning has helped me see things more clearly and it gives me confidence. The week after the victory I played in Local Final Qualifying for The Open and missed out by a couple of shots. That was disappointing. And last week I played terribly in the first round (of the Credit Suisse Challenge) and shot three under in the second to miss the cut by one.
"So it's nice to open with a good score here, and hopefully I can keep this going."
Hansen has been showing some promising form in recent weeks, making the cut in his last four events and not finishing worse than 28th.
He attributed his fine score to his approach play, saying: "I hit it close to the pin and holed out well all day. I started par, double-bogey, which wasn't great, but I'm pleased with the way I bounced back and took my chances for birdies.
"I had four in a row from the 16th (having teed off from the tenth), which was a good run. It was disappointing to finish with two bogeys, but I definitely would have taken four under at the start of the day."
Lloyd, 20, is playing his second season on the Challenge Tour and is relieved to return to form after a wrist injury kept him out of action for several weeks earlier in the season.
"It's a course where you really have to stay patient and there are a few holes where par is a really good score," said the Bristol man. "The first hole is really the only one playing into the wind, and the par fives are all reachable, so there are chances out there if you hit it straight. It's more of a mental challenge.
"I played nicely and my bad shots were not too bad. I hit it in the water on the 14th, but then hit a three iron from the drop and holed the putt for a four. So I was potentially looking at a six but made par. I scrambled really well today.
"My wrist is fine now and I'm back to playing well again. I was a bit rusty for a while and had a shocker in Saint-Omer. Then I shot a 62 in Scottish Hydro Challenge but missed the cut the following week, so it has been up and down but I'm feeling good now.
"I had last week off and just spent time in the gym and preparing. I'm feeling really refreshed and ready for the second half of the season."

Primal Rage – Move List
Move List by Victar
Version: 2.1 | Updated: 01/12/05
THE PRIMAL RAGE CONDENSED MOVELIST rev. 2.1
(Chaos' FoFury corrected)
Notes: All moves are confirmed for arcade PR version 2.3. All moves &
fatalites do work on SNES Primal Rage, though some are very hard to do
without a quality joystick. Chaos' Golden Shower fatality is censored in
SNES PR. Chaos doesn't do anything during the Golder Shower and a censor
sign appears.
"Version 2.3 only" moves & fatalities are not in Genesis PR or 32X PR,
since both are conversions of the earlier arcade version 1.7.
All moves & fatalities listed here work for the IBM PC version if you're
using a four-button joystick. If you're using the keyboard or a two-button
joystick, many of the moves are different. See the PR for IBM PC FAQ for
keyboard moves.
All moves & fatalities should work for Jaguar PR, 3DO PR, & PSX PR. Please
let me know if they don't.
There is a separate, completely different movelist for Game Boy/Game Gear

All characters can do three types of jumps in Primal Rage. First, to do
a standard jump, just press up or diagonally up like any other fighting
game. Pretty easy, eh? The second type of jump is the long jump. To do a
long jump, tap down, then do a "normal" jump immediately afterward This
jump will be higher and faster than the standard jump, and it will go much
farther. No more characters whose only jump is a drifter... The third type
of jump is the most difficult, and most surprising jump in any game. A
"hop jump" (a.k.a. "tiger jump") is the shortest possible jump and
*extremely* fast! You do a hop jump by pushing the joystick in the
direction you want to jump, then down, then do the standard jump (either
tapping or rolling the joystick will work). Additionally, the hop jump can
now be done straight up, just tap toward (or away), down, and straight up!
Unlike version 1.7, Primal Rage version 2.3 lets you execute hop jumps
versus the computer, and the computer can use them against you, too!
Here's a chart to summarize the three different jumps:
Jump Type | Toward | Away | Up
normal jump | UT | UA | U
long jump | D, UT | D, UA | D, U
hop jump | T, D, UT | A, D, UA | T or A, D, U

Everyone has a hobby. For Florida resident Ronald Eugene Robinson, that hobby used to involve going to his local CVS, buying a six-pack of enemas, using those enemas, carefully re-sealing said enemas in their original packaging, and then returning them "unopen and unused" to the CVS from whence they came.
Robinson is believed to have "pre-screened" as many as twelve enema six-packs over a two month period before being apprehended by authorities. In that time, CVS estimates that 21 customers may have purchased "potentially impacted enema products." Mercifully, these customers have since been notified. The Associated Press reports that Robinson faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, if convicted.
Stay strong, Florida. Between this and the mysterious monster eyeball, you've been through more than your share's worth of harrowing experiences as of late.

The Gentoo Linux Documentation team aspires to create exceptionally
professional documentation that is immediately clear and concise to the
end user. In order to fulfill this goal, we have very specific rules and
guidelines that
This policy will cover these topics:
The Gentoo Documentation Project Team is split into several smaller teams that operate in complete cooperation with each other. Each smaller team represents an active development team of a Gentoo Documentation Subproject.

manager as required by the
For day-to-day managerial tasks the Gentoo Documentation Project has an operational manager. This person keeps track of all documentation-related tasks that are more short-term. The operational manager and strategic manager can be one and the same if the strategic manager wishes so.

If for any reason the lead translator cannot perform his or her duties, the follow-up lead translator is in charge. If even this person is unavailable, the mentor(s) is/are in charge of the language.
If a translated document is contributed, but the language in itself is not supported, the Gentoo Documentation Team will not publish it officially. In this case the document will stay unlinked until an official translation team of that language is formed.
When a language is officially supported, but the team doesn't have any members or no one wants to take on the responsibilities of the lead translator, all links to the documents will be removed from the site. However, the documents will stay available in case the language becomes officially supported again.

You will be given a Gentoo e-mail address and be appointed to one or more subprojects. During the initial days or weeks, you should ask your mentor as much as possible, preferably have him/her double-check everything you do. If your function requires CVS access, you will only receive it when your mentor deems it appropriate. Until then, your mentor is in charge of the CVS commits.
Becoming a (follow-up) lead translator shouldn't be held lightly. You are responsible for every translated document and final reviewing. The lead translator will make certain that the translated documents are grammatically and syntactically perfect.
In order to become a Gentoo (follow-up) lead translator you must be a Gentoo developer.
During your "training" period you are a (follow-up) lead translator and should act upon it. All guidelines regarding (follow-up) lead translators apply.

Adenomyosis is a disease that occurs when the cells that normally line the uterus grow into the muscular tissue of the uterine wall. It occurs most often in women older than 30 who have had a full-term pregnancy. It is rare in women who have not had a full-term pregnancy.
Adenomyosis does not occur after menopause. But adenomyosis that was present before menopause may be diagnosed after menopause. It may also be found in tissue samples after pelvic surgery in post-menopausal women.
Cause The cause of adenomyosis is not fully understood. Some researchers believe that it is the result of damage to the inner wall of the uterus during pregnancy, labour, delivery, or a surgical procedure.
Symptoms Most women with adenomyosis do not have any symptoms. Adenomyosis is frequently found in uterine tissue biopsies after pelvic surgery such as laparotomy or laparoscopy has been done. When symptoms are present, they include:
Examinations and tests When symptoms occur, the evaluation of suspected adenomyosis may include:
The diagnosis of adenomyosis can be made only after a pathologist examines uterine wall tissue samples. Adenomyosis is often discovered after a hysterectomy.
Treatment Most women with adenomyosis do not have any symptoms. When pelvic pain or heavy menstrual bleeding are present, suspected adenomyosis is often successfully treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). A hysterectomy may be needed if you have severe symptoms but are not approaching menopause. Symptoms go away after menopause is complete or after hysterectomy.
What to think about The use of birth control pills may make symptoms of heavy bleeding or pain worse. Symptoms go away after menopause is complete or after a hysterectomy.
When to call If you have symptoms of adenomyosis, call your doctor to schedule an appointment.

OAKLAND, Calilf. --Three vehicles were destroyed at the O.co Coliseum Saturday night and several others damaged when a vehicle that parked near a hot grill from a tailgate party caught fire, according to an Oakland fire official.
The fire was reported around 7:12 p.m., according to Battalion Chief Darin White.
A Jeep that had parked directly over or adjacent to a hot Weber grill in Lot A on the 66th Avenue side of the coliseum caught fire, and the fire spread to the vehicles on either side, White said.
All three vehicles were destroyed, and two or three others sustained some damage from the radiant heat, White said.
No injuries were reported.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. home prices rose in February compared with a year ago by the most in nearly seven years, as a growing number of buyers bid on a limited supply of homes.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index climbed 9.3 percent in the 12 months ending in February. That's up from an 8.1 percent gain in January.
Annual prices rose in all 20 cities for the second month in a row, the first time that has happened since early 2005. Phoenix recorded the biggest annual gain, with prices rising 23 percent. Prices jumped nearly 19 percent in San Francisco.
