The Sony PlayStation Vita has only launched in Japan thus far. It started off well there, selling approximately 325,000 in its first 48 hours. However, sales plummeted to just 72,000 in its second week, painting a grim future for the technologically impressive handheld.
Sony's PlayStation Vita won't launch in the UK until 22 February, but if early Japanese sales are anything to go by, it could be heading for an emergency price-cut before too long. Units sold dropped massively in just the second week on sale, the Vita being outsold by its predecessor the PSP, 101,000 to 72,000. Japan has traditionally been a market open to Sony's portable units too, suggesting the handheld faces even more serious trouble once it launches in the US and Europe.
The Vita sold an estimated 72,000 units between 19 and 25 December, while the Nintendo 3DS shifted 482,000 in the same period. We have not read of any supply issues that could account for this poor figure in what should be a lucrative time of the year. If sales continue along this trajectory, the Vita is in big trouble. We'll admit it, though, we still want one.
The PlayStation Vita follows a similar path to its predecessor. It's far more powerful than the Nintendo 3DS or any current smartphone, with a quad-core processor, quad-core GPU and 5in touchscreen. Packing in so much power also ensures that it can only be so competitive in its pricing, though. Getting such grunt for £229, the handheld's RRP, is a great deal, but it may not seem so to buyers who see that it costs more than either the Sony PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

Dir: Sebastian Junger. US. 2013. 79mins
A sturdy, affectionate appreciation of Tim Hetherington's work and life, Which Way Is The Front Line From Here? is a fine primer on the acclaimed British war photographer who was killed in Libya by mortar fire in 2011. Directed by author/reporter Sebastian Junger, who collaborated with Hetherington on the 2010 Oscar-nominated documentary Restrepo, Which Way may not be an incisive look at the mentality of the combat journalist, but it's contemplative and affecting in a way that a mere highlight reel of Hetherington's career wouldn't be.
Junger is nicely restrained, never overselling the emotional wallop that's to come.
Premiering at Sundance and playing at True/False, this documentary will air on HBO in April, its smart collection of thoughtful talking-head interviews and sharp images from Hetherington's work instructive and engaging. No doubt Hetherington's connection to Restrepo — not to mention his recent death at the age of 40 — will draw interest from those wanting to learn more about the man.
Which Way serves as a fond memoriam for a photojournalist credited for his humane, striking shots taken in war-torn lands such as Liberia. The documentary traces Hetherington's background but also seeks to explain what made his work so unique. Junger, who clearly feels close to the material because of his connection to Hetherington, has compiled interviews from Hetherington's parents, girlfriend and colleagues to offer an overview of this charming, handsome man who was able to insinuate himself in dangerous, foreign war zones. (As Hetherington himself admits in an archived interview, he was often the only tall white man in the areas where he took photographs.) Hetherington remains somewhat mysterious despite Junger's best efforts, but this seems fitting for someone who amazed even his fellow wartime journalists with his unpredictability and nerve.
The film isn't particularly illuminating in understanding precisely why people like Hetherington and Junger are drawn to such a life-threatening profession, falling back on familiar explanations such as an addiction to the job's adrenaline rush and the belief in the importance of their work. But Which Way is far better at getting inside Hetherington's creative philosophy, showing in some detail how his specific approach produced such superb photographs. (The film includes several of his stills, and each impresses in the way it reveals small but telling moments of relatable human behaviour amidst the carnage and terror.) The viewer comes to recognize that Hetherington's great subject wasn't war itself but, more specifically, how war reflects and perverts ideas of masculinity.
As the movie builds to Hetherington's death in Libya, Junger is nicely restrained, never overselling the emotional wallop that's to come. In this way, the filmmaker honours his colleague's approach, realizing that the simple truth is far more meaningful than grandiose statements. Clocking in at less than 80 minutes, Which Way is hardly a definitive last word on Hetherington, but Junger isn't aspiring to such heights. Rather, this feels like Junger's chance to express his admiration for a man whose occupation he shared — and for a friend he very much misses.

Fijian authorities scrambled to evacuate tourists and residents in low-lying areas Sunday as a monster cyclone threatened the Pacific nation with "catastrophic damage" after causing devastation in Samoa.
At least four people were killed when Cyclone Evan slammed into Samoa and the toll was expected to rise with a search launched for eight men missing on three fishing boats.
Only one survivor has been found, said the New Zealand Rescue Co-ordination Centre, which is overseeing the search.
After crossing Samoa, Evan intensified as it ploughed through the Pacific and forecasters said destructive winds could reach nearly 300 kilometres per hour (186 miles per hour) by the time it hits Fiji early Monday.
Government officials fear it could be as devastating as Cyclone Kina, which killed 23 people and left thousands homeless in 1993.
Squally thunderstorms were expected to flood low-lying areas while coastal villages were at risk of sea flooding, authorities said.
The international airport at Nadi was packed as 850 tourists were removed from luxury resorts on outlying islands,
"The safety of the tourists was paramount," said Fiji Tourism and Hotel Association managing director Dixon Seeto, but with most flights booked the holidaymakers had little chance of getting out before the storm.
Fiji's main airline Air Pacific either cancelled or rescheduled its Monday flights while other airlines said they were closely monitoring the situation..
Philip Duncan, head analyst with the WeatherWatch.co.nz meteorological service, said Fiji faced the prospect of flash flooding and mudslides.
"Gusts may end up climbing to 280 kilometres per hour or greater around the centre of Evan," Duncan said.
"Some small, low-lying communities and resorts may suffer catastrophic damage and some small islands may be entirely submerged as the storm and storm surge roll by."
More than 200 evacuation centres have been opened and Information Ministry permanent secretary Sharon Smith-Johns said people at risk should move.
"People living in low-lying areas should consider moving to higher ground or evacuation centres," she said.
Fiji's military leader Voreqe Bainimarama has warned the storm is an "impending disaster" and offers of international aid have already been received.
Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr said Canberra was offering financial assistance as well as expert personnel and supplies.
The cyclone is expected to hit the northern part of Fiji early Monday with strong winds and heavy rain striking several hours earlier, said Nadi Weather Office duty forecaster Amit Singh.
"The cyclone is not going to slow down. It is intensifying," he said.
Meanwhile, it could be some days before the full extent of the damage in Samoa is known because of the difficulty reaching outlying islands.
About 4,500 people remain in emergency shelters after Evan destroyed houses and damaged electricity and fresh water supplies, Samoan officials said.
Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele also warned of possible food shortages next year because crops were destroyed.
The New Zealand Air Force and Tahiti search and rescue authorities were scouring the ocean for the fishing boats missing in rough seas.
New Zealand search coordinator Tracy Brickles said the 30-year-old skipper of one boat survived and made his way ashore after his vessel tipped over on Friday but there was no information about his crew.
A vessel fitting the description of another boat has been seen washed up on an island but there was no sign of survivors.

Consumers are being warned to be wary of any notices or advertisements that claim to offer homeowners facing foreclosure "complete forgiveness of the loan" or other monetary relief if they join a class-action lawsuit. Such ploys are likely a pretext to collect illegal up-front fees for foreclosure assistance.
In class action litigation, consumers generally do not have to pay to join, and most reputable firms will not charge a fee for attorneys to review your case or to determine if you are eligible to join a lawsuit.
The California Attorney General recently filed a lawsuit against California lawyer Philip Kramer, the Law Offices of Kramer & Kaslow, plus 19 other lawyer and non-lawyer individuals and companies, for deceptively marketing class action or "mass joinder" lawsuits. The defendants in that case are believed to have taken over $7 million in fees from homeowners in 17 states "" including Arizona – after sending out hundreds of thousands of flyers advertising the program. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants advertised nationwide settlements against lenders that did not exist and that many servicers were not provided by lawyers or legal staff.
Notices may be mailed to homeowners or posted on their doors. Typically, the business claims that the fee they are charging is for a forensic audit of your loan documents to see if you are eligible to join the class action litigation. However, the Federal Trade Commission's Mortgage Assistance Relief Services Rule ("MARS Rule") contains a broad ban on requesting or collecting up-front fees for almost all types of mortgage assistance, including forensic audits related to foreclosure relief. Arizona's foreclosure consultant statute also prohibits companies from collecting an up-front fee for assisting homeowners in foreclosure.
Foreclosure rescue companies may promise to refund your fee if you are not eligible to join the litigation. However, the Office's experience with guaranteed refunds indicates that they are very difficult to obtain, or the company may disappear before the refund is paid. If you are facing foreclosure, refuse to pay up-front fees and instead contact the Arizona Foreclosure Prevention Helpline at (877) 448-1211 for free assistance provided by HUD approved housing counseling agencies.
If you feel you've been a victim of a class joinder scam or any other type of consumer fraud, please contact the Arizona Attorney General's Office Consumer Information & Complaints Unit at (602) 542-5763 / (520) 628-6504 / (800) 352-8431. You can also file a consumer complaint online at: http://www.azag.gov/consumer/complaintform.html
Attorney General Tom Horne issued the warning.
"The mortgage crisis is only made worse by predators who take advantage of consumers who are already facing the loss of their home," Horne said. "State and federal law ban almost all types of up-front fees for foreclosure assistance. I am committed to prosecuting anyone who engages in this type of consumer fraud, and it is just as important that consumers be vigilant against these types of scams."

Portable boom gets the shot
Name: : XShot 2.0 camera extender
What it is: : A 9-inch rod that telescopes out to 37 inches. Attach a lightweight camera or camcorder and capture images of yourself that appear to have been shot by someone else.
How it works: : Screw a pocket-size camera or camcorder (maximum weight: a little more than a pound) on to one end of the XShot, then tilt the camera to just the right angle and lock the XShot in place. Extend the XShot away from you for self-portraits that capture more background than if you were to hold the camera in your hand and aim it at yourself. This makes the XShot a must-have for camera-happy travelers.
The good: : The XShot is stable, maneuverable and portable enough for a backpack. And it eliminates the potential awkwardness of asking a stranger, "Would you mind taking a photo of us?" This works especially well with pocket camcorders such as the Flip Video because you can pan the camera around you to capture interesting vistas or walk and talk about the scenery as if you are being followed by a cameraman, making your videos look like travelogues. The more you use it, the more you'll want to use it.
The bad: : It doesn't work with cell phones, which don't have camera mounts. A new iPhone case-and-XShot bundle ($44.95) and iPhone 3GS tripod attachment ($19.95; you'll still need to buy a $29.95 XShot) are expected to ship this month.
Cost: : $29.95 to $44.95

The Seine runs through the heart of Paris. A walk along the river leads you past typically Parisian book stalls, busy artists and romantic parks, and its banks have served as the backdrop for countless movies. But it's only from the many bridges that you truly experience the essence of this elegant river, the lifeblood of the city.
The Seine divides the city into two parts. Many people prefer one side to the other: the Rive gauche (Left Bank) is seen as more historic and romantic, while the Rive droite (Right Bank) is hot and happening. What links them are the bridges of Paris: there are as many as 37, each with its own character and each with a different and breathtaking view over the city of love.
Framed by the stunning Île de la Cité and the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower, the Pont des Arts is an unbeatable spot from which to watch the sunrise. There are benches along the entire length of the bridge, which are occupied every day by people enjoying the magnificent view over the Seine and the Parisian life passing them by.
The Pont des Arts is also known as the bridge of lovers: they say that if two lovers kiss here, they'll stay together forever. Completed in 1804, the innovative design was an idea by Napoleon Bonaparte. He wanted a metal bridge over the river to link the Institut de France with the Palais des Arts (as the Louvre was then known), which is where its name originated. Unsurprisingly, the bridge has served as a source of inspiration for countless artists.

October has favorite month potential. I love the chill in the air, the smell of fireplaces and getting to wear hoodies and a few extra pounds. But one thing tarnishes the lovely month of October: Halloween decorations.
I'm afraid of ghosts. There, I said it. Ghosts freak me out. I don't care how groovy Shaggy's van is; I could never join Scooby and the gang. Casper, in all his "world's friendliest ghost" glory, could come knocking with a bucket of homemade fudge, a carafe of riesling and my favorite Bon Jovi album, and I still would have to pepper spray him.
My preschool teachers did the best they could. In addition to teaching us our ABCs and the difference between turquoise and aquamarine, they taught us not to fear those who go "Boo!" in the night.
"When you kids get scared, just chant, 'There's no such thing as ghosts.'"
It worked. And just to double up the anti-ghost power, I never gave a ghost a reason to haunt me. I avoided seances; my parents were the original owners of my home; and I kept my dying scorned lovers to a minimum. Outside of the month of October, my illogical fear of ghosts rarely reared its see-through head.
That all changed a few years ago when I packed up my Jeep and drove cross-country. By the time I paid for gas, food and my first and last month's rent, I had $186 in my bank account. There was no money left to furnish my apartment. As fate would have it, the weekend I arrived, there was an estate sale happening in my apartment complex. An old lady named Fran had died, and her friends were selling off her life.
I spoke with the ladies running the sale and mentioned how I had just moved in. They waived the fees, saying Fran would've wanted me to have her furniture.
My newly-furnished apartment was starting to feel like a home, when Fran's friends knocked on my door.
"We have one more thing for you, honey." They handed me a sign that once hung outside Fran's shop. It read:
"Fran Robins. Psychic. Tarot Card Reader. Talks to the Dead."
Hello, worst nightmare.
"Here," another one of Fran's friends said, handing me a bag of salt crystals. "Put some in the corners of your apartment. It will keep the bad spirits away."
I lined every wall with salt. When I ran out, I went to the store and bought more. When I ran out again, I lined the walls with pepper. Fran's sign was stored in my closet, under my clothes, facing the wall.
That night, sleeping alone in my new apartment, I said aloud: "Hi, Fran. I appreciate your stuff and all, but if you could not visit, I'd be super-grateful. Thanks."
Over the years, I slowly replaced Fran's furniture. When I moved out of my old apartment, I left Fran's sign in the closet for the new owners. Something about that just felt right. Today the only thing I have left from Fran is her dining room table. She never did visit. Not yet, anyway.
A few nights ago, I was driving home. Through the fog, I could just make out some shadowy figures on my neighbors' lawn. My heart skipped a beat. Fran? As I drove closer, the shadowy figures turned into ghost Halloween decorations. I hate October.
I walked into my house, looked at Fran's dining room table and chanted, "There's no such thing as ghosts."

Mark Cuban Would Tank Games in Certain Situations
I hope he's not going to get mad at me for using that headline, but I'm trying to be fair given what he shared on the radio. If I were going for the entirely sensational headline, I would have just said "Mark Cuban would tank games." Mind you however, that when Cuban joined Michael Irvin and Mike Fisher on FOX Sports Radio, he said he would tank games in certain circumstances:
Irvin: I can dance with you all day right there, it sounds like you're saying I'd rather just tank a couple games, but I won't even go there Mark, let's move on.
Cuban: I'll be the first to admit Michael, I would tank a lot of games.
Irvin: You would tank games? Mark wait, you would tank games to get the first pick in the draft?
Cuban: Yes, yes see it depends on where you are.
The depends on where you are has to deal with the recent history of your franchise, Cuban went on to say. For instance, Cuban argued (and I agree), that having a team stuck around 40 wins each year is the worst position a franchise can be in. Stuck on 40 wins means you're not good enough to go far in the playoffs, and you're not bad enough to get a great player in the lottery. So Cuban said that if his team were stuck around that area, he would want them to get better in the lottery — essentially by
tanking playing younger players. Only problem … look what happened to Boston.

OCMC Agape Grants to Assist the Ministries in Seven Countries in 2010
The love that Christ's disciples show for others has served as a living witness to the faith, inspiring countless numbers of people to come into the Body of Christ. For over 20 years, the Agape Canister Program of the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC), through its support of philanthropic ministries such as orphanages, feeding programs, and healthcare programs, has helped the Church to meet the needs of children, families, and communities in a loving witness to the Orthodox faith in mission countries. The OCMC is excited to announce the ministries that will be receiving support from the Agape Canister Program in 2010.
This year, Agape funds will assist 10 projects in 7 countries: a Youth Camp and the Fellowship of Love Soup Kitchen in Albania; the Protection of the Theotokos Family Center, the St. Dimitrie Program, and a Youth Camp in Romania; the St. Thomas House Orphanage in Indonesia; a feeding ministry in Kenya; Youth Day Camps in Kosovo; medical supplies in Uganda; and a Youth Camp in Guatemala. All of these projects will be administered by OCMC missionaries, mission priests, and mission teams during 2010 with the blessing, and under the guidance, of each country's respective hierarch.
There are over 200 active Agape Canister Partners overseeing approximately 1000 plastic Agape canisters placed in offices, restaurants, parishes, and businesses throughout the United States and Canada. These canisters raise an average of $129,000.00 per year for philanthropic ministries like those listed above. New Agape partners willing to take responsibility for one or more canisters in their community are always needed. This is especially true right now as the past two years have seen decreasing revenues which has limited the ability to distribute grants to both new and renewing Agape projects. To find out more information about this vital aspect of international Orthodox missions and/or to become involved in the Agape Canister Program, call 1-800-GO-FORTH or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: For Ohne Titel's spring season, it was all about mixing the brand's signature knits with lighter silks — with a bit of mesh for athleticism thrown in as a nod to this season's sportiness. The first dress was a knit jacquard that swirled in cobalt, aqua, and black. This pattern repeated on silk short-sleeve shirts worn with skinny pants or knit skirts. This mixture of fabric combinations and patterns added a nice consistency to the show. For old-schoolers, there was even the peplum, back for its third season on the catwalk, here in a tucked style, worn with a mesh top.

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: Wednesday, April 10, 2013, 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time
Note to journalists: Please report that this research was presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Apr. 10, 2013 - NEW ORLEANS, April 10, 2013 — An advance in micromotor technology akin to the invention of cars that fuel themselves from the pavement or air, rather than gasoline or batteries, is opening the door to broad new medical and industrial uses for these tiny devices, scientists said here today. Their update on development of the motors — so small that thousands would fit inside this "o" — was part of the 245th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, being held here this week.
Joseph Wang, D.Sc., who leads research on the motors, said that efforts to build minute, self-powered robot devices have evoked memories of the 1966 science fiction film Fantastic Voyage. It featured a miniaturized submarine, which doctors injected into a patient. It then navigated through blood vessels to remove a blood clot in the brain.
Fuel and propulsion systems have been a major barrier in moving science fiction closer to practical reality, Wang explained. Some micromotors and even-smaller nanomotors, for instance, have relied on hydrogen peroxide fuel, which could damage body cells. Others have needed complex magnetic or electronic gear to guide their movement.
"We have developed the first self-propelled micromotors and microrockets that use the surrounding natural environment as a source of fuel," Wang said. "The stomach, for instance, has a strongly acid environment that helps digest food. Some of our microrockets use that acid as fuel, producing bubbles of hydrogen gas for thrust and propulsion. The use of biocompatible fuels is attractive for avoiding damage to healthy tissue in the body. We envision that these machines could someday perform microsurgery, clean clogged arteries or transport drugs to the right place in the body. But there are also possible uses in cleaning up oil spills, monitoring industrial processes and in national security."
Wei Gao, a graduate student in Wang's lab, described how the team at the University of California, San Diego, has developed two types of self-propelled vehicles — microrockets made of zinc and micromotors made of aluminum. The tubular zinc micromotor is one of the world's fastest, able to move 100 times its 0.0004-inch length in just one second. That's like a sprinter running 400 miles per hour. The zinc lining is biocompatible. It reacts with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which consists of hydrogen and chloride ions. It releases the hydrogen gas as a stream of tiny bubbles, which propel the motor forward. "This rocket would be ideal to deliver drugs or to capture diseased cells in the stomach," said Gao.
Gao also described some of the latest advances in the technology. The newest vehicles are first-of-their-kind aluminum micromotors. One type, which also contains gallium, uses water as a fuel. It splits water to generate hydrogen bubbles, which move the motor. "About 70 percent of the human body is water, so this would be an ideal fuel for vehicles with medical uses, such as microsurgery," said Wang. "They also could have uses in clinical diagnostic tests, in the environment and in security applications."
Another type of aluminum micromotor doesn't have gallium and is the first such motor that can use multiple fuels. "We're really excited about this micromotor," said Gao. "It is our most flexible one to date. For the first time, we've made a micromotor that can use three different fuels — acids, bases and hydrogen peroxide, depending upon its surroundings. Therefore, we can use these motors in many more environments than ever before."
The scientists are working on extending the lifetimes of the vehicles so that they last longer and functionalizing them for specific biomedical applications. They also are exploring commercial partners for realizing real-life applications of this work, said Wang.
Wang acknowledged funding from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy.

The motion of synthetic microscale objects is of considerable fundamental and practical interest, and has thus stimulated major research efforts over the past decade in connection to diverse potential applications such as targeted drug delivery. For nearly a decade, chemically-driven micro/nanomotors have relied mainly on hydrogen peroxide fuel that hinders many of their practical applications. Here we demonstrate new hydrogen bubble propelled micromotors which can be driven by their natural environments (such as acid and water in human body), without any additional chemical fuel. The tubular polyaniline/zinc microrockets (prepared by template based electrodeposition method) display effective autonomous motion in extreme acidic environments (with a speed of over 100 body lengths per second). The ejection of hydrogen bubbles from the exposed zinc inner layer, upon its contact with acid, provides a powerful directional propulsion thrust. The observed speed-pH dependence holds promise for sensitive pH measurements in extreme acidic environments. In contrast, the new water-driven Al-Ga/Ti based Janus micromotor can be propelled by the hydrogen bubbles generated from the rapid aluminum and water reaction. Although this reaction process is greatly hindered by an oxide passivation layer on the Al surface, the problem can be addressed by using aluminum-gallium alloys through liquid metal embrittlement. Factors influencing the efficiency of the aluminum–water reaction and the resulting propulsion behavior and motor lifetime, including the ionic strength and environmental pH, are investigated. These new hydrogen bubble propelled micromotors could greatly expand the scope of applications of nano-/microscale motors toward new extreme environments (e.g., the human stomach or silicon wet-etching baths) or mild environments (e.g. human blood) and could thus lead to diverse new biomedical or industrial applications ranging from targeted drug delivery or nanoimaging to the monitoring of industrial processes.

Total time: 2 hours, 15 minutes, plus 7 hours braising time and overnight chilling time
Servings: 5 to 6
Note: Adapted from "The Cooking of Southwest France" by Paula Wolfert. She recommends serving the daube with noodles, followed by a salad of bitter greens.
4 1/2 to 5½ pounds oxtail, cut into pieces
1 calf's foot or pig's foot, split (optional: for extra body)
3/4 pound slab of lean salt pork
1 tablespoon olive or peanut oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 onions, coarsely chopped
1 bottle full-bodied red wine, such as Syrah
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
Herb bouquet: 3 sprigs parsley, 1 sprig thyme and 1 imported bay leaf tied together with a string
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 ounces jamon de Bayonne, prosciutto or Serrano ham, cut into ½-inch dice
3/4 ounce dried French cepes or Italian porcini, crumbled
1. The day before you plan to serve the daube, heat the oven to 275 degrees. Trim off all excess fat from the pieces of oxtail.
2. Blanch the calf's foot and salt pork in a saucepan of boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain. Slice the rind off the salt pork and reserve. Cube the salt pork and divide into 2 batches. In a heavy, nonreactive skillet, heat the oil and slowly cook half of the salt pork, stirring often, until the cubes turn golden brown and a great deal of their fat has rendered out, about 10 minutes. Line a flameproof earthenware or enameled cast-iron 5- to 6-quart casserole with the pork rind, fat side down. Transfer the browned salt pork to the casserole.
3. Season the oxtail pieces with 1½ teaspoons salt and one-half teaspoon pepper. Brown the oxtail pieces over moderately high heat in batches without crowding the skillet used to cook the salt pork, about 10 minutes per batch. As they brown, transfer the pieces to the casserole.
4. Remove and discard half the fat in the skillet. Cook the onions in the remaining hot fat until golden brown. Add the onions to the casserole.
5. Deglaze the skillet with 1 cup of the wine. Boil down to a glaze. Add another cup of wine and repeat. Add the remaining wine, vinegar and 1½ cups water. Bring just to a boil and skim carefully. Pour over the meats. Add the calf's foot, herb bouquet and garlic. Cover tightly and place in the oven to cook very slowly for 3 hours without disturbing.
6. Carefully remove the oxtails to a deep bowl, cover and keep moist. Remove the meat from the calf's foot while still warm and place in a food processor. Add the remaining salt pork cubes, the cooked pork rind, cooked garlic and the ham. Grind to a smooth paste.
7. Strain the cooking liquid, pushing down on the onions to extract all their juices. Remove as much fat as possible and pour the juices into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and boil slowly, skimming from time to time, until reduced by one third.
8. Carefully return the pieces of oxtail to the casserole and spread the meat paste on top. Add the reduced liquid. Rinse the cepes under running water, drain and add to the casserole. Cover and bake in a 275 degree oven for 2½ hours without disturbing.
9. Remove the casserole from the oven and transfer the oxtails to a work surface, discarding any loose bones. Season with salt and pepper, pour into a bowl and cover and refrigerate. Separately, cover and refrigerate the cooking liquid.
10. About 2½ hours before serving, heat the oven to 275 degrees. Remove the jellied liquid from the refrigerator, and lift off and discard all congealed fat. Combine the liquid and add the meat in the casserole, cover and reheat the daube without stirring for 1½ hours.
11. To serve, remove the oxtails to a deep heatproof platter. Cover with foil and keep warm in the turned-off oven. Strain the sauce into a small saucepan, pressing down on the solids. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook at a slow boil, with the pan half off the heat, skimming, until the sauce lightly coats a spoon, about 20 minutes. Adjust the seasoning. Pour over the meat and serve hot.

Clear Lake is one of the oldest lakes in the world, so naturally there have been stories of monsters living in the lake. Twenty years ago the late Lyle Dyslin of Kelseyville caught what many believed to be one of those Clear Lake monsters.
On a clear October day in 1993, Dyslin was fishing off a dock at the Edgewater Resort in Soda Bay where he hooked one of the strangest looking catfish ever to come out of Clear Lake. The catfish weighed 18 pounds but its tail was horizontal instead of the normal vertical, the head and nose resembled the face of a dog, and the pectoral fins were small and fleshy, looking more like little feet.
Dyslin couldn"t believe what he had caught. In fact, he wasn"t even sure it was a catfish. He called me and I met him on the dock. Sure enough, the head of the fish did resemble a small dog. In fact, Dyslin"s constant companion was his small dachshund. Dyslin held up the catfish alongside the dog and they looked like twins. I took some photos and then Dyslin carved the initials "LD" on the head of the catfish and released it back into the lake.
The Record-Bee ran the story and the photo nearly 20 years ago and it immediately gained national attention. The San Francisco Chronicle did a feature story on Dyslin and his strange catfish. Other newspapers picked up the story and it ran in more than 200 newspapers nationwide. Major fishing magazines and newspapers called Dyslin for interviews and he became something of a national celebrity. One organization even claimed that the strange catfish was brought to Clear Lake by aliens from another planet while yet another group claimed the catfish was part of a 2-million-year-old species of fish that once swam in Clear Lake in abundance but has since become extinct.
Within a few weeks of Dyslin catching and releasing the catfish I received a number of phone calls from fishermen who also claimed to have caught strange looking catfish out of Clear Lake. One individual said he was fishing in his 24-foot cruiser near Soda Bay where he hooked into a monster catfish, which he claimed towed him all the way to the Cache Creek Dam, a distance of more than 15 miles. He said he finally cut his line to keep the fish from pulling him over the dam.
Yet another fisherman said his black Labrador retriever was swimming near his dock in Horseshoe Bend where a giant catfish swallowed the dog. He claimed the catfish must have weighed at least 200 pounds. Others said they were afraid to let their children swim in the lake because there might be a monster fish lurking nearby. Weeks after Dyslin caught his strange catfish dozens of fishermen anchored in Soda Bay hoping to catch Dyslin"s catfish, but it was never seen again.
Months later a Department of Fish and Game (DFG) fishery biologist claimed to have solved the story behind Dyslin"s catfish. He said the fish was nothing more than a deformed channel catfish that came from a DFG hatchery and was stocked in the lake along with thousands of other juvenile catfish. The biologist said it wasn"t unusual for catfish spawned and raised in a hatchery to be deformed because of gene mixing. He said that he had seen catfish with no tails or just a stub of a tail as well as others missing parts. In his opinion what was unusual was that this particular catfish had lived so long. He said deformed creatures in the wild have a very short lifespan and are usually easy prey for predators.
Despite the statement from the fishery expert many people still believe the catfish is just one of several strange creatures swimming in Clear Lake. What made the story exciting was that Dyslin carved his initials onto the head of the catfish. That part of the story is true because I saw it.
Dyslin also gained fame a few years later when he caught a new lake record for catfish. He was fishing from the same dock at Edgewater Resort in 1995 when he caught a 33.25-pound catfish. In 2009 Fred Miranda of Clearlake caught a 33.3-pound catfish, which is the current lake record.

How far is Far?
6 thoughts on "P & Q: Far Breton"
I am really excited to make the Far Breton. I think this is going to be one of those recipes that is amazing, but overlooked because of the lack of picture and obscure name. I love the dried fruit that will go into it.
Excited for two-a-days!
I just made it with pecans, chocolate chips and brown sugar. It tastes like pecan pie but with custard where there should be treacle. My tastebuds are confused. I can't wait to hear about everyone else's.
Hindy! That sounds amazing! I will probably be making mine tonight! Thanks for the teaser.
I just made my batter and popped it in the fridge, I'm planning on baking this evening. I'm excited to see how this one turns out! Using Chai tea to soak the fruit in, yum.
I had no idea what to expect and it's good. I had trouble telling if was done and baked it for 55 minutes, which seemed to be fine (I made a half recipe in a six-inch pan).
Mine fell. . . any helpful suggestions for me?

Why Did All of the 'X Factor' Judges Walk Off the Set?!
By now we're almost used to hearing about Britney Spears leaving of the 'X Factor' set. But why did all four judges on the panel walk off of the Kansas City set?
TMZ reports that Spears, Demi Lovato, L.A. Reid and a sick Simon Cowell's substitute Louis Walsh all high tailed it off of the 'X Factor' set following what may have been the worst audition ever.
The wannabe crooner, whose name hasn't been revealed (yet) allegedly walked onstage and claimed to be "better than Chris Brown." (We can't wait for Breezy to get wind of this and tweet about it!) He then disrespectfully turned his back to the panel, closed his eyes and sang what the site describes as "melodic torture" before the audience began to boo. The judges couldn't handle the mess and bounced after only a few bars. The source says that the entire panel walked off together but eventually came back, though Spears took a little extra time to recover from the aural atrocity she'd just heard.
One audience member told PEOPLE, "It was really awkward. You could tell the judges were done." The source said that it wasn't just the lack of talent, but also the hopeful's rudeness that sent them packing. "I don't think they had a choice," the witness added. "They didn't want to waste their time." Thing is, since the guy's back was turned, he didn't even realize the judges left!
Another audience member affirmed the contestant's general jerkiness. "He was one of the worst singers and had a bad attitude … [The judges] all hated it and walked off."

Release Date: November 18, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. – University at Buffalo undergraduate students will travel to northern Peru next summer to conduct rigorous interdisciplinary research into the biological and chemical properties of indigenous medicinal plants and study ways in which the plants are employed by the curanderos— the region's native healers — as well as the cultural meanings attached to these practices.
This collaborative effort involving anthropologists, natural products chemists, ethnobotanists and physicians in the U.S. and Peru is funded by an undergraduate Minority Health International Research Training (MHIRT) grant from the National Institutes of Health to San Diego State University (SDSU).
MHIRT involvement in Peru began 11 years ago through the collaboration of ethnobotanist Rainer Bussman, director of the William L. Brown Center for Plant Genetic Resources, Missouri Botanical Garden, and Douglas Sharon, now an adjunct professor of anthropology at UB and at SDSU.
Gail Willsky, associate professor of biochemistry in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, became involved three years ago when microbiology and chemistry laboratory work became a more important part of the project. Her students previously have participated in that aspect of the research.
This year's research will consist of two interrelated studies in anthropology and laboratory analysis co-directed by Willsky and Sharon.
Ana Mariella Bacigalupo, associate professor in the UB Department of Anthropology, will coordinate the anthropology portion of the project at UB.
Willsky, a biochemist whose research areas include the anti-diabetic properties of metal-containing compounds, says she will work with students "to conduct research into the anti-bacterial properties and toxicology of extracts of medicinal plant and plant mixtures used by Peruvian healers to treat infectious diseases. They also will learn to identify and collect plants and to prepare extracts for analysis."
These "wet bench" laboratory studies — so called because the chemistry generally is conducted in the liquid phase at the lab bench — will take place in the Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Universidad Nacional de Trujillo in Trujillo, Peru.
John Crane, an expert in infectious diseases and associate professor in the Department of Medicine in the UB medical school, will serve as a consultant to the project.
The anthropological side of the project will be led by Sharon, whose work includes extensive research into curanderism and medicinal plant use on the northern coast of Peru. He is the author of "The Wizard of the Four Winds: A Shaman's Story," about the mestizo curanderism of the late Eduardo Calderon (Sharon now works with Calderon's daughter, Julia, also a curandero) and "Shamanism and the Sacred Cactus," a study of the use of the hallucinogenic San Pedro cactus by Peruvian shamans.
Bacigalupo, who will coordinate the anthropology project at UB, has for decades investigated and published on indigenous shamanic healing practices among the Mapuche people of Chile. She is the author of "The Voice of the Drum in Modernity: Tradition and Change in the Healing Therapies of Seven Mapuche Shamans"and "Shamans of the Foye Tree: Gender, Power and Healing among Chilean Mapuche."
"The project's anthropology research," she says, "will address several areas: the cultural meanings and curanderos' uses of medicinal herbs and herbal mixtures; the collaboration between practitioners of modern medicine and the curanderos in the fields of phytotherapy, ethnobotany, pharmacy and psychology; patients' health care–seeking behaviors and how they navigate traditional versus biomedical health care systems; and the impact of traditional medicine and ethnobotany on the improvement of health care in Trujillo."
This work, says Bacigalupo, will be conducted at the homes of curanderos and at the Centro de Atención en Medicina Complementaria (CAMEC)-EsSalud in Trujillo, a center for complementary medicine, as well as at the highland gardens of medicinal herbs in Huamachuco, on the Andean cordillera.
Additional direction will be provided by medical anthropologist Linda Kahn, research associate professor and National Research Service Award fellow in the Department of Family Medicine in the UB medical school.
Sharon's previous ethnobotanical and anthropological studies with Rainer Bussmann, director of the William L. Brown Center, Missouri Botanical Garden, have characterized the pharmacopia of the curanderos in this region and examined some of the ways in which traditional and biochemical treatments are understood and sought by patients.
In 2010, they reported in the Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (6:10) their compilation of 974 herbal mixtures made from 330 different plants used by the curanderos to treat 164 different afflictions.
Willsky's lab previously identified 16, two-plant mixtures used by Peruvian curanderos specifically to treat infectious disease. Seven of these mixtures were studied in 2012 and 2013, and the 2014 summer project will continue that work.
Information for prospective participants
The cost for students participating in the Peruvian study is $2,800, which includes airfare, lodging, local transportation and food.
Medical students are eligible for funding through the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Undergraduate minority students are eligible for funding through National Institute of Health, Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research Training Grant.
Minority, first-generation and low-income undergraduate students are eligible for funding through the McNair scholars program.
Anthropology students must be fluent in Spanish. Previous coursework on native healing traditions in Latin America and ethnographic research methodologies is helpful. Interested anthropology students should contact Bacigalupo at email@example.com.
Students participating in the laboratory work must have experience in traditional laboratory chemistry and biology courses. Prior research experience is helpful. Interested biomedical students should contact Willsky at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Patricia Donovan has retired from University Communications. To contact UB's media relations staff, call 716-645-6969 or visit our list of current university media contacts. Sorry for the inconvenience.

DAYTONA BEACH -- Scott Pruett earned the best seat in the house for the start of Saturday's Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Pruett, wheeling the No. 01 BMW Riley, zipped around Daytona International Speedway's 3.56-mile road course Thursday afternoon to earn pole position honors for the twice-around-the-clock endurance event.
Pruett, a four-time Rolex 24 champion, was clocked at 127.455 mph. He nipped Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates' teammate Scott Dixon, who posted a best of 127.337 mph in the No. 2 BMW Riley.
"It's incredible," Pruett said. "For us to be one-two is exciting. For me personally, I have so many great memories for a lot of years.
"I told the guys before the run, 'I don't know how many years I have left, so I better get it done.' It was nice to pull it off and get to start up front."
Dane Cameron will start third on the grid after posting a lap of 126.624 mph in the No. 42 BMW Riley.
Rounding out the top five qualifiers were Michael Valiante, No. 6 Ford Riley, 126.595 mph, and Richard Westbrook, No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Corvette DP, 125.840 mph.
GT, GX qualifying
In GT qualifying, Nick Tandy, driving the No. 32 Porsche GT3 Cup, earned top class honors with a lap of 119.074 mph.
"Daytona has been a historically great track for Porsche," Tandy said. "This is the 50th year with the 911 model this year. Putting forth a good deal of effort for this race and this season in Grand-Am."
Andy Lally, piloting the No. 44 Porsche, was second best in GT time trials. He turned a lap of 118.856 mph. Rounding out the top three GT qualifiers was Sean Edwards, No. 30 Porsche, 118.659 mph.
Shane Lewis made Rolex 24 history by earning top starting position among the new GX class. Lewis, driving the No. 16 Porsche Cayman, was clocked at 111.827 mph.
"It does matter where it starts -- for the crew," Lewis said. "This is for the hard hours for the team put into this car. Yes, it's awesome to start up front."
DAYTONA BEACH -- Ryan Ellis, driving the No. 30 Mazda Speed 3, earned ST class pole honors for the Continental Tire Challenge/BMW 200 at Daytona International Speedway this afternoon.
Ellis was clocked at 101.626 mph over the Speedway's 3.56-mile road course. He will start 33rd in the 71-car field.
"I've only had one pole in my career and it was here in 2011," Ellis said. "To back in this spot, to be with a championship-contending team, is absolutely great. That qualifying run was insane. We stuck together and helped push each other."
Tyler Cooke earned outside pole honors for the ST class. Cooke, who wheels No. 81 BMW 328i, was clocked at 101.586 mph. Rounding out the top three fastest cars was Mikey Taylor, No. 171 Volkswagen Jetta, 101.400 mph.
DAYTONA BEACH -- Jade Buford took the No. 55 Aston Martin Vantage to the Continental Tire Challenge/BMW 200 pole position after posting a lap of 109.997 mph at Daytona International Speedway Thursday afternoon.
The race is scheduled to start at 1:45 p.m. Friday.
Buford, Brentwood, Tenn., was pleased with the Aston Martin's performance.
"It was pretty good," Buford said. "It's been good since we unloaded it off the truck. We knew all we had to do was keep doing what we've been doing."
Jack Roush Jr., wheeling the No. 61 Ford Mustang Boss, was just a tick off Buford's pace. Roush was clocked at 109.697 mph. He was followed by Joey Atterbury, No. 51 Mustang, at 109.584 mph.
Rounding out the top five qualifiers were Al Carter, No. 45 BMW M3, 109.582 mph, and Brett Sandberg, No. 48 BMW, 109.408 mph.
With 71 cars entered in Friday's race, Buford said a good starting spot could be the key to victory.
"Track position doesn't hurt," Buford said. "Being up front is not necessarily a bad thing."
Jim Norman, driving the No. 38 Porsche, crashed in the chicane during qualifying. He was evaluated and released from the Speedway care center.

2 October 2013 at 3.51pm | 1 Comment
Iain Banks's The Wasp Factory was published in 1984 – the year George Orwell had imagined a dystopian state in what was once Great Britain. The relevance of Orwell's vision to the political climate of the 1980s is certainly thought provoking, and Banks's first published novel may be regarded as an update. We find in it an alternative dystopia and a caution against the emergence of a differently reprehensible state.
The Wasp Factory is a controversial novel. The Irish Times said of its publication, 'it is a sick, sick world when the confidence and investment of an astute firm of publishers is justified by a work of unparalleled depravity' and the Sunday Express described the book as 'a silly, gloatingly sadistic and grisly yarn of a family of Scots lunatics.' The Times Literary Supplement decided it was sensationalism in the face of the writer's previous rejections: 'the surest way to make an impact with a first novel, if not the most satisfactory, is to deal in extremes of oddity and unpleasantness.' We have the benefit of hindsight.
In place of the Stalinist-style political control that Orwell saw as the undesirable endgame of European totalitarian socialism we see untrammelled freedom. Banks gives us a scenario in which a teenager with a tendency towards megalomania and an obsession with torturing animals roams free, unmonitored by any form of authority. We are shown what disturbed humans are capable of when nobody is watching.
Frank, the protagonist, is not a legally registered citizen (a sort of Orwellian 'unperson') and his father keeps him hidden from the authorities on a 'nearly-island' on the North Sea coast of Scotland. Frank's dominion over the 'island' and its fauna is slightly ridiculous, recalling the imaginary war games many children play. But there is nothing ridiculous in his dispassionate and sadistic capacity for murder, nor in the family saga of abuse and neglect that is described in the margins of the story.
Paul Morley, in his programme article for Ben Frost's opera (which received its premiere at Bregenz Festival this summer and gets its UK premiere in the Linbury from tonight) was keen to keep much of the plot concealed. He wrote, 'it is best for the audience to know nothing about what is about to happen, other than they are where the action is, and one more crazed thing leads to another, to more and more change, until there is, incredibly, nowhere else to go.' We are presented with the story of a dangerously cunning sociopath who, left to his own devices, commits barely believable transgressions of what we might sentimentally (nostalgically?) call 'conscience'. Few in today's national climate would accept that it is best they 'know nothing' and let one crazed thing lead to another.
If The Wasp Factory struck a keynote in the early eighties, Banks's seventh novel, Complicity (1993), pursues the tune. Margaret Thatcher's government spanned the decade that separates the two books and Complicity describes a series of sadistic murders committed in retribution for the victims' selfish exploitation of the permissiveness of the Thatcher years. Banks's response to Thatcher's death in April 2013, two months before his own, was to comment that while he was respectful, her 'baleful influence on British politics remains undiminished.' His strong feelings go some way towards explaining the tone of these two shocking novels that bookended the Thatcher decade. Thatcher's keenness to free the British economy from state control and the stranglehold of the unions could be seen as partly responsible for the barbarity of unregulated enterprise that has proceeded at the expense of other forms of freedom. Banks certainly saw degeneration and savagery in the societal changes linked to the free market of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
In the wake of the Cold War and in the name of democracy, the project to avert an Orwellian nightmare has failed to take responsible precautions against the proliferation of simple, unconscionable selfishness. The Wasp Factory can be read as an allegory of what happens when sociopaths are allowed to wreak unbridled dominion over a small island. Perhaps rather than (or as well as) a sensationalist novel that launched the career of a highly political writer, The Wasp Factory is a leveled caution of the Orwellian kind.
The Wasp Factory runs from 2 – 8 October 2013 in the Linbury Studio Theatre. A limited number of tickets are still available.
The production is staged with support from Capital Cultural Fund Berlin and Nordic Culture Point.

We note the passing of Dennis Hopper, friend and co-star of James Dean. Here is a letter from fan and entertainment writer Bob Rees, to me.
" I was very fortunate nearly 25 years back to interview Dennis Hopper when he was here in Houston. He visited Rice University campus in order to run his new film--Out of the Blue. He had just finished Blue Velvet recently as well. He also put on a bizarre multi media spontaneous presentation, and he spoke. He was not in good shape--as he was pretty messed up on drugs, but he has nice things to say about Jimmy. I spoke with him after his lecture and he was very worshipful towards Jimmy. That was his idol.
Jimmy taught him how to act, he said. "How to smoke a cigarette short". He said Jimmy told him that he thought the two of them should--"take hold of this town (Hwood) by its tail, and give it a good spin". After Jimmy died, Hopper tried to take up Dean's mantle of being the Rebel. Living that role on and off screen. But what Hopper lacked was discipline and grounding. Anyway--after the media presentation and lecture ended--we all got in school buses and drove out of town to a race track! There Dennis Hopper proceeded to tie himself into a chair that was rigged with sticks of dynamite and he ignited it! All that happened was that the chair went up in the air several feet and came right back down to sit on the ground!
He was lucky-as this was a serious and dangerous stunt he pulled. After--he was -of course-more dazed and confused than he already had been. A few weeks later he was picked up in Mexico out of control running naked through the streets. He went to a sanitarium of sorts.
Glad to say that the last 20 years of Hopper's life--he cleaned up his act and life. Publicly and privately-he pulled himself together and had many "normal" years. He was a special, distinctive and unique kind of talent. There is no one quite like him around nowdays. It was seldom an easy ride for the Easy Rider--but he will be missed and remembered as an important Hollywood character. Need I add--my interview with him was the strangest one of my career as an Entertainment Writer. Interesting memories--again Dennis was one of a kind, and I am glad I got to spend an evening in his world so many years ago. R.I.P. Dennis.
best--Robert Rees--here in the Lonestar Giant state."
January 20, 2010: My newspaper today noted the passing of Kate McGarrigle, mother of Rufus and Martha Wainwright, friends of all the Deaners. Rufus once performed a whole concert at Ball State University to raise funds for saving Jimmy's High School. The article I read did not mention Louden Wainwright, her husband, but did mention her sister Anna and Jane. She died at her home in Montreal after an extended battle against intestinal cancer which had spread to her liver. She was only 63 years old.

HAVELOCK � Police are seeking suspects in a shooting Friday in the parking lot of the Kelly Park Apartments in Havelock.
HAVELOCK � Police are seeking suspects in a shooting Friday in the parking lot of the Kelly Park Apartments in Havelock.
The unidentified victim was transported to CarolinaEast Medical Center in New Bern then flown to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville. He was reportedly shot twice in the leg but was alert at the scene.
Two men, described as black with dreadlocks, fled the scene in what was described as a brownish/reddish Suzuki SUV and have not been caught.
Shots rang out about 12:20 p.m. in the central parking lot at the apartment complex just off Shipman Road.
�We were all in here. We heard the shots,� said Donald Smith, a witness. �The guy was down there laying down. The guy that done it was gone.�
According to witnesses and the initial investigation, the suspect and victim were involved in a fight in the parking lot when the shooting happened.
�I walked by there and they were already fighting,� witness Gary Wallace said. �The one that was doing the shooting was getting his tail beat. I guess he retaliated.�
Smith said he didn�t know either of the men involved.
�The one that got shot knows who it is,� he said.
Smith said he was watching a crime show on television and thought initially that the shots he heard were from the TV.
�I was watching �In the Heat of the Night� up there while I was washing dishes,� he said. �All of us heard the shots. He shot about four or five times.�
Police placed yellow markers by at least seven spent 9 mm shells in the middle of the parking lot. Markers were also placed next to a pair of sandals and a piece of clothing at the scene.
In the minutes after the shooting, there was a report that the suspect Suzuki had been sighted in Carteret County. Authorities searched U.S. 70, Nine-Foot Road and Lake Road but could not find the vehicle.
Havelock police are continuing the investigation and have not released the name of the victim or any suspects. The victim�s condition at the hospital was not immediately available.
The shooting is the second in the last nine months at Kelly Park Apartments. On Nov. 17, Demetri Shavar Berry, 28, was shot and killed as he broke into an apartment. The district attorney�s office, based on the police investigation, determined the shooter, Marvin Lovell Norris Jr., 19, was defending himself and was not charged.
