Mila Kunis discusses her starring roles in Oz the Great and Powerful and Jupiter Ascending. Another star joins Wally Pfister's enigmatic Transcendence. Daniel Radcliffe's Frankenstein movie will be unlike any previous Frankenstein film. Plus Walking Dead, True Blood, and more!
It's all spoilers from here on out!

Guardians of the Galaxy
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige reveals the vast, vast majority of James Gunn's cosmic superhero movies will indeed take place in space:
The Thor film and the Guardians Of The Galaxy film certainly are cosmic. Guardians and Thor will take the brunt of the cosmic side of the universe, particularly Guardians, which is 95% in space...
Will Guardians Of The Galaxy prove as integral to Avengers 2 as each Avenger's solo film?
I would say that it does not. It's much more of a standalone film. It takes place in the same universe. And when we've been on the other side of that universe in other movies, you might see those characteristics in Guardians, but the Avengers are not involved with what's happening out there at this time.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Kevin Feige also talks some more about how the Captain America sequel departs from its predecessor:
Captain America will showcase… What's exciting to me about Cap –- sort of about Iron Man 3 too if you look at it -– is it's tonally almost like a different genre. Shane Black's described Iron Man 3 as a Tom Clancy sort of political thriller, which I like a lot. We hired our directors on Cap because they loved our explanation that we really want to make a '70s political thriller masquerading as a big superhero movie. Just like with the first film -– we got Joe Johnston because we said, 'We want to do a '40s World War Two movie masquerading as a big superhero movie.' I love that we're doing a sequel to a film that's a completely different genre than the first film. I think that's fun. And the comics do it all the time."
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Bryan Singer has now confirmed yesterday's casting news:
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Director Marc Webb tweeted this latest photo from the set.
You can also check out some additional behind-the-scenes photos from the filming in Chinatown right here.
Jupiter Ascending
Mila Kunis discusses her role in the Wachowskis' upcoming film, which also includes Channing Tatum as an intergalactic bounty hunter, former Game of Thrones head actor Sean Bean as a Han Solo type, and a plot involving the queen of the universe and humans being at the bottom of the cosmic evolutionary ladder — pretty restrained stuff by Wachowski standards. Anyway, here's what Kunis had to say about the upcoming production:
The movie that I'm doing, that's following up [Oz the Great and Powerful], requires a lot more wire training than this one did, but at least this one prepped me for that. I love it! I will do and have done all my own stunts, as much as allotted.
What is that next film?
The Wachowski movie (Jupiter Ascending). That one requires a lot of wires. Everything seems to be wired. But, I haven't started that yet. I start next week.
Transformers 4
New franchise star Mark Wahlberg offers some small details about Michael Bay's latest Transformers movie, though I have the funniest feeling he's not being totally serious towards the end there:
"Michael [Bay] and I had an amazing experience working together on Pain & Gain. That movie is insane. It's like Boogie Nights meets Pulp Fiction meets Fargo. Michael made that movie for $25m and then he asked me if I wanted to work with him again, told me his idea and I said, 'I'm in'. It's very different from the other three. I play a man. Who has a child... It will [be smaller]. It will just be a couple of people in a room talking."
There's still no official plot details for Transcendence, the directorial debut of Christopher Nolan's longtime cinematographer Wally Pfister, but a new press release has confirmed that Iron Man 3 and The Town actress Rebecca Hall will be joining Paul Bettany (who is also in Iron Man 3, come to think of it) and Johnny Depp (who, to the best of my knowledge, is not in Iron Man 3) in the film, which supposedly deals with scientists uploading their consciousnesses into computers or something. [Comic Book Movie]
Oz the Great and Powerful
James Franco discusses his character's journey from Kansas conman to... well, to Oz-based conman, I guess, given what the character gets up to in The Wizard of Oz:
The character, as written, was very much [director] Sam [Raimi]'s idea. I think it was one of his big contributions. When you deal with Oz, as a subject, you have a fantastical land. So, I had faith that the designers would be able to create a spectacular world, but you don't want a movie that's just a journey through a fantastical world. You want the characters to have their own inner journeys. So, Sam's idea – or maybe it was a collaboration with the writers – was that the character would also have an inner journey. He would start off in one place, and then have room to grow, once you got to Oz. I thought, as selfish as he is and as much of a cad he is, in the beginning, it would never go to the point where he's unlikable because all of his manipulations and conning of people are played for laughs. And I can't quite blame him for being the way he is because of his history. He grew up in circumstances where he just wanted to get out. He wanted something different. With performing, he saw a way out. So, he's gone a little too far in his ambitions and it's blinded him to the love of the people around him, but you can't blame the initial reasons for being the way that he is.
And Mila Kunis discusses the challenges of playing the witch Theodora:
It was one of those things where I got very nervous about playing such an iconic character, or at least playing a character that has such an iconic end result. I didn't want to ruin it, and I didn't want to recreate it, and I didn't want to reinterpret it. So, in order for me to wrap my head around it, I had to make sense of her origin, which was just given to me, kind of like a gift. Here's a girl who is incredibly naïve and very young, and almost doesn't believe that she's worthy of love, and has never really truly experienced love, and then she meets James' character and falls madly in love with him, very quickly, mind you, but in love nonetheless, and then she gets her heart broken. And she doesn't have the emotional tools of dealing with heart ache, and doesn't want to deal with it, so she takes the easy way, given to her by her sister and goes through an emotional transformation that's mirrored by a physical one, and she happens to change color. I honestly viewed her as a just a normal girl who gets her heart broken, and who just so happens to be a witch that can fly.
There's more at the link. [Collider]
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has now officially signed on for the Frankenstein movie directed by Sherlock's Paul McGuigan and written by Chronicle's Max Landis. Radcliffe will play Dr. Frankenstein's assistant Igor — a character that is indelibly associated with the Frankenstein story, despite the fact that he doesn't really exist as a character outside of Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein. Here's a recent statement from Landis on just that very fact:
realized we were missing Igor, the Igor everyone seemed to know, and I was like, "Wait, what?" So I started watching ALL of the Frankenstein movies, from Mel Brooks to Peter Cushing to Robert De Niro, and realized that the only time Igor's actually been (Doctor?) Victor (Henry?) Frankenstein's assistant was in the fucking Monster Mash. I was like, "Wait, what?" That's when the idea came to me: instead of trying to do some high minded "revisionist" Frankenstein, why not try to stay true to a version that only lives in the zeitgeist, and has NEVER REALLY EXISTED. And why not do it in an intelligent, hopefully, thoughtful way, about friendship and science, genius and madness, love and ambition, life and death? Why not use that imaginary, fairy dust framework of "guy with hunchbacked assistant makes monster" and make it fun, sad, scary and hopefully, I really hope this, moving. Let's just hope it comes together, you know? I think it's really cool.
You can read his complete statement at the link. [Ain't It Cool News]
Kick-Ass 2
Morris Chestnut, who previously played a main character on that V reboot from a couple years back (think hard, you might remember it, it was on ABC or something), discusses his role as Sergeant Marcus Williams — a role played by Omari Hardwick in the original — in the Kick-Ass sequel:
"'Kick-Ass 2' is gonna be a fun ride. It's a wild suspenseful ride. 'Kick-Ass 2' is a wild, kick-ass ride. I'm proud to be a part of that one. I play Chloe Moretz's guardian. Nic Cage died in the first movie, so he asked me to look over her, and I'm just trying to force her to do the right thing; in terms of going to school and getting her education, and staying away from the streets, and staying away from Kick-Ass. And she doesn't listen to me. I don't really get too much action in this one. I'm the wise guardian. I know what she's into, but I let her know – 'Don't force me to have to make a decision. Because I m your guardian and I love you and I made a promise to your father that I would look after you, but I'm also an officer of the law. So if you break the law, and you're out there doing this Kick-Ass stuff, I'm gonna have to make a decision.'"
Game of Thrones
Tywin Lannister actor Charles Dance more or less confirms that season four is happening. This was already pretty much a certainty, but HBO likely won't officially renew the show until after the third season premiere, in keeping with previous seasons:
"We're about to start season four aren't we? This year. We get scripts pretty early on, much earlier on than in similar series, usually you get perhaps one episode and you just have to trust that what's going to come in subsequent episodes is going to be as good as the one you've got, but in this I think there are six scripts already written, and we will probably be able to see them with more than adequate time to prepare before we start shooting."
The Walking Dead
Here's a promo and a pair of clips for episode thirteen, "Arrow on the Doorstop."
Costars David Morrissey and Laurie Holden discuss their respective characters, starting with Morrissey tackling whether the Governor is actually evil:
Morrissey: I don't think any one character can be summed up that way," he said. "All the characters have elements of good and bad and evil in them. The Governor and Rick are both facing the same problems. They're both leaders, both trying to keep their communities alive. Right now, the Governor is actually doing a better job at that. There's a part of him that's good. He wants to be that father figure. But the darkness has allowed him to grow and prosper.
Holden: When she goes back and sleeps with him again, it's not because she's having a weak female moment and thinks he's handsome. She thought she could follow through with Carol's plan. Andrea thought she could do it and tried to do it. I think sleeping with him disgusted her. Then, she woke up, and — it's one thing to kill someone in self-defense, but it's another to stand over with them a knife while they're sleeping. She couldn't do it. You could call that weak or you could call that strong. But Andrea has never killed anyone before. She wants to find the humanity in both [Rick and the Governor].
And comics creator Robert Kirkman discusses the continuing evolution of Carl:
[We] watch him grow and evolve from this kid who's almost a burden to a child soldier. Where we're gonna go with this kid is some pretty exciting places. This season is really just the beginning of his journey.
True Blood
Here are some casting tidbits for the upcoming sixth season:
Beginning in episode 6.06, there will be a new recurring vampire on True Blood named Wes! He was turned in the 1970s when he was in his mid 20's. His ethnicity isn't specified. He's sexy, smart, compassionate, protective, and plays the guitar. He's going to be involved in a love triangle with Jason and another vampire (hmmm... sounds like it could be Jessica, but the "other vampire" isn't named). Wes will be a strong recurring role in season 6 and a regular in season 7 - so we know he "survives" season 6 - and some rear nudity is involved.
Person of Interest

Once Upon a Time
Here's a promo for this Sunday's episode, "The Miller's Daughter." The official description is below.
CORA'S DESIRE TO TAKE RUMPLESTILTSKIN'S PLACE AS THE DARK ONE TAKES ONE STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING REALITY AS HE LAYS DYING, AND MARY MARGARET IS ONCE AGAIN TEMPTED BY DARK MAGIC, ON ABC'S "ONCE UPON A TIME" — Rose McGowan ("Charmed") Guest Stars as Younger Cora — Cora's desire to rid herself of Rumplestiltskin in order to take his place as The Dark One takes one step closer to becoming reality as she and Regina try to overpower a dying Mr. Gold, and Mary Margaret is once again tempted by dark magic.

"We are all deeply confused about how to manage love, sex, and commitment in the modern world. There is one person on the planet with a particularly compelling diagnosis and set of answers. Esther Perel is a guide and mentor for our times."
"On the subject of sex, a subject that makes so many stammer, clam up, or crack wise, Esther Perel, a couples therapist and author, is uncommonly eloquent, even rhapsodic. Perhaps not since Dr. Ruth commandeered American airwaves in the 1980s has there been a public figure with so much of an audience for her work on human sexuality...Instead of offering more explicitness, she writes and talks about the aspects of sexuality that can't be captured on a screen, the hidden, psychological states that do or do not set the mechanics in motion."
"Esther Perel tells it like it is. She is refreshingly honest, deeply informed, and highly entertaining."
"Esther Perel is America's go-to relationship expert. When it comes to coupledom and desire, no one knows how to help people reignite the spark of passion like her."

Union Leader: Top U.S. military chief sees Portsmouth shipyard up close
PORTSMOUTH — The nation's top military officer paid a visit to the Port City on Monday with members of the New Hampshire and Maine Congressional delegation.
General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, met with officials at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and Pease Air National Guard Base.
He was in the state at the invitation of Senator Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, and was hosted by Ayotte, Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, and Angus King, I-Maine, as well as Congresswomen Chellie Pingree, D-Maine, Annie Kuster, D-NH and Carol Shea-Porter, D-NH.
Dempsey and the delegation members met with shipyard commander Capt. William Greene and shipyard leadership to discuss operations.
Dempsey also received a tour of the nation's oldest shipyard and was briefed on the status of repairs to the USS Miami submarine that was badly damaged in an arson fire last year.
After visiting the shipyard, Dempsey and New Hampshire delegation members met with representatives from 15 New Hampshire businesses, both large and small, working in the area of defense, including BAE, Juliet Marine Systems of Portsmouth and Mentis Sciences of Manchester. They also paid a visit to Pease Air National Guard Base to receive a briefing on the New Hampshire National Guard's Deployment Cycle Support Program and to meet with New Hampshire defense suppliers.
In a phone interview from Washington, D.C., on Monday evening, Ayotte said the visit was a positive one.
She said as far as the delegation knows, it is the first time a chairman of the Joint Chiefs as ever been to the shipyard or the guard base and it was an honor to have Dempsey in the state.
She said the delegation was proud to showcase the work being done at the shipyard as well as by members of the Army Guard and Air Guard.
Ayotte said it was necessary to highlight the importance of New Hampshire, the shipyard, and the guard base in the defense of the nation, and for Dempsey to hear firsthand from workers.
She said he was impressed with the workers, their skills and expertise and their professionalism.
She said the delegation is often talking about the performance of the shipyard and guard base, but to see it in person gives it more impact.
Workers also had the opportunity to talk about the impact of furloughs, which began Monday for a small number of employees at the shipyard.
"There are no better spokespeople for those programs and for what is done in New Hampshire than the people on the ground, the workers on the shipyard he got to meet and see for himself, the members of the Guard he got to meet … nothing can replace hearing directly from the people who serve our nation every day, so I think that hearing from them is the best type of feedback he can get," Ayotte said.
Shea-Porter also expressed pride in welcoming Dempsey to New Hampshire.
"I think General Dempsey was impressed by the extraordinary work ethic of the men and women at Pease and the Shipyard, and he realized how much the local communities support the men and women who serve," Shea-Porter said.
The New Hampshire delegation spent most of the day with Dempsey before they all flew back to Washington on Monday evening ahead of votes on Capitol Hill in both the Senate and the House.

"Mother? " There was no reply. She hadn't expected one. Her mother had been dead, now, for four days, and Kira could tell that the last of the spirit was drifting away ... Now she was all alone.
Left orphaned and physically flawed in a civilization that shuns and discards the weak, Kira faces a frighteningly uncertain future. Her neighbors are hostile and no one but a small boy offers to help. When she is summoned to judgement by The Council of Guardians, Kira prepares to fight for her life. But the Council, to her surprise, has plans for her. Blessed with an almost magical talent that keeps her alive, the young girl faces new responsibilities and a set of mysteries deep within the only world she has ever known. On her quest for truth, Kira discovers things that will change her life and world forever. A compelling examination of a future society, Gathering Blue challenges readers to think about community, creativity, and the values that they have learned to accept. Once again Lois Lowry brings readers on a provocative journey that inspires contemplation long after the last page is turned.
"This extraordinary novel is remarkable for its fully realized characters, gripping plot, and Lowry's singular vision of a future..." -- VOYA

Great Time Buying a New Car
Pleased we were allowed to drive different Makes/Models to decide what we wanted. Lee was very helpful in all the questions asked and pleasant. Was very helpful in setting up the Nav and phone acc. Very up front concerning prices, models, and what was available.
Jan 02, 2020
Love my new vehicle! And everyone was super quick! I told Jeremy what I wanted and he found it. The vehicle is being shipped here from Arizona, but it's worth the wait
Dec 25, 2019
New purchase
I was in the market for a new vehicle particularly an suv. I was looking for used because I did not want to spend a lot of money. Turns out Jeremy was able to sell me a new vehicle for less than a used one. Jeremy was great to work with. I would totally recommend your dealership and Jeremy for anyone in the market for an INFINITI.
Dec 24, 2019
I've never been to dealership before that was as friendly and laid back as Infinity OF SM. Salesman Jeremy Odom seemed to be very knowledgeable and tremendously helpful which help me make my final decision purchasing my new Vehicle
Dec 02, 2019
The Best Car Buying Experience Ever!
Buying a newly used vehicle can be a time consuming, nail biting experience...from selecting a vehicle that meets most of your criteria from the inventory available, negotiating and finalizing the deal which we know takes time (the dreaded office sit down followed by paperwork lasting possibly hours), and our overall feelings once we drive off the lot! Well, I must say, Jeremy Odom and the entire team at INFINITI of South MS, left me with a totally satisfied and benchmark car buying experience! No pressure sales, confidence in quality (certified used program with the amazing 6 yr unlimited mileage warranty for my vehicle purchase), compassion and empathy for my feelings at the time of purchase with a reassuring guarantee that I can return without penalty (Am I making the right choice? What if I have a change of heart? Can I bring it back?), and time spent -from stepping on the lot to receiving the keys and driving off in my car even with all my questions...let's just say I asked just about everything you could image! All in all, I stopped by the dealership uncertain that I would find the perfect vehicle for me on the busy Saturday after Black Friday at 4:45 pm (the dealership closes at 5pm) and drove off the lot before 6:30pm!! Everyone sacrificed their personal time to stay late with a smile just to make sure I could drive home in my new 2016 Certified INFINITI Q50. Absolutely Above and Beyond, Exceptional Customer Service! To top everything off, I will never have to wash my car myself...the cherry on top perk I look forward to now!
Dec 01, 2019
Best Salesman Ever!!!!
Went to the INFINITI dealership looking for a car. The salesman that helped me, Jeremy Odom was awesome.Not only was he knowledgeable about the vehicle I was interested in, he was very patient and explained every option opened to me. Jeremy helped me get in a 2019 QX50 LuxeJeremy made my experience at INFINITI of South Miss a great lifetime memory. Thank you Jeremy!
Nov 27, 2019
Great experience
I had been watching for a new/used car for about 6 months and finally found one i was interested in. I message the dealership to set an appointment for a test drive and Jeremy text me the same day. When we arrived that evening, he was super nice and very helpful. I never felt pressured like most car salesman make you feel. I knew exactly what I wanted though and was ready to purchase. He was polite and very knowledgeable.
Nov 19, 2019
Upgrade from INFINITI QX50 Pure to INFINITI QX50 Luxe
I just bought my second INFINITI from Ray Brandt INFINITI of South MS. I previously took my first INFINITI into the dealership almost weekly for the complimentary car wash and was very pleased with the courteous service of the detail team. Jeremy Odom was the salesman that sold my first INFINITI to me and he stayed in touch and I just bought my second INFINITI from him. Jeremy is very knowledgeable about the INFINITI products and treated me with the utmost courtesy and respect from the time I walked in until the time I drove away in my new INFINITI each time. All of the salesmen and managers that I encountered on my visits to the dealership were friendly and helpful. I will continue to visit this dealership for all of my automotive needs.
Nov 17, 2019
Well worth the drive
I had been searching for a used q50 that met many requirements, I spent over a month and finally found it at INFINITI of south Mississippi. They had the right car, and then the right people to close the deal.

Nov 08, 2019
Awesome Experience! I love my QX80!

Nov 07, 2019
Infinity 1
Infinity Of South Mississippi is above and beyond any dealership on the coast. Jeremy, is an Awesome salesman. Very courteous and professional. Before I left the dealership Jeremy went the extra mile to insure that I understood all the functions that was in my vehicle before I departed the dealership. If you are in the market for a new or a pre owned Vehicle then Infinity Of South Mississippi is the dealership. The service department is above and beyond reproach.
Oct 25, 2019
Good experience

Jeremy is AWESOME!!
Jeremy was actually recommended to us by another salesman at another dealership. We went to see him and he happened to be there for a few minutes on his day off! Still took the time to talk to us. We were very specific with what we wanted - and it wasn't easy to find. He called us the very next day and said he found an Infinity QX80 - in the exact color combo with a bench seat in AZ. He made the call Friday, and it was here today (Monday)! He is SO nice and knowledgeable - everyone at this dealership was so polite! Jeremy kept us informed every step of the way. I HIGHLY recommend him! You won't be disappointed.

Easiest car buying experience ever
Jeremy and Dan were just awesome. Jeremy had a great attitude, answered any questions I had, and had everything ready to go when I got to the dealership. Dan was courteous, not too pushy about warranty stuff, and had me in and out of the dealership super quick. I would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone looking for a new rode

Our first INFINITI purchase
This was the best car buying experience that I have EVER had!! Our salesman, Jeremy Odom, was wonderful. He's a consummate professional and super friendly!! Jeremy made the process so simple. In less than 12 hours we did the credit application, got our approval, drove to Mississippi and were the proud owners of a QX80. It was wonder experience all the way around.

Jeremy is the best!
Jeremy made the car buying experience an absolute joy! I wouldn't have wanted to buy from anyone else. Need to promote him to sales manager instead of the very rude, bully manger (josh) yall have now. If it wasnt for Jeremy I would not have bought the car from josh but we loved Jeremy. When I picked up my car it wasnt cleaned to Jeremy's standard so he had it detailed again and made sure it was right. He went out of his way to make us happy. We will suggest buying from ththe dealer again but sont use josh if you can help it! Norris was also wonderful and very friendly!
Jun 27, 2019
Jeremy was awesome! He did a great job! He took time to show me all the features of the car. He help setup my INFINITI App.

Jeremy's attitude and personality made us feel very welcomed & right at home. Norris Chiasson went over and beyond to make sure we got the best finance package available! Thank you so much to both individuals for making the purchase of my brand 2018 INFINITI Q70 a very enjoyable & pleasant one!

Abu Grahib Prison
Suzanne Pharr February 27th, 2008
(This piece was written during a two-week stay at Windcall, a place for social change activists to restore their energy and ideas in a beautiful natural setting. In it I reflect upon having seen a picture of Lynndie England that looked very much like me as a young tomboy in rural Georgia. Abu Grahib Prison still haunts me as a symbol of the US war on Iraq.)
I think I know you, Lynndie England,
you with your proud bright face
flashing two thumbs up
before a naked Muslim man
who tries to maintain dignity
as the flashing camera lights
record this small moment
of world domination
bannered in red, white and blue
on cars back home.
Back home, not so long ago
in your one stoplight West Virginia town
you were the kid
they called tomboy and smiled
when you dreamed of chasing tornadoes,
you flying along behind,
trying to lift up and be free.
How many times your President said,
"a war against the uncivilized."
You were civilized.
You married a friend.
You were not queer. No.
Eleven months and a divorce
and you could catch the tornado tail
of the Iraq invasion,
a tomboy girl ready to be home
among guys, just as tough,
just as right for the USofA.
I think I know you, Lynndie England,
your face so like my own five decades ago
when I on my Georgia farm,
a tomboy among house dresses,
tried to travel through books
to some other place, brave and free.
How many times my Governor said,
"Bar the school doors from
the uncivilized Negroes."
I could not be civilized enough.
Playing with boys and loving girls,
I found chance and scarce opportunity
joining the giants of the 60s
to set me free.
Who would we be, Lynndie England,
if tomboy spirits in country towns
could fly their dreams on rushing winds
where no soldiering, hiding or hating
were ever masked as freedom?
Where would we be if civilization
were defined as expansiveness of heart?
You and I, Lynndie England,
are made of the same country dirt,
sometimes green and growing,
sometimes racked with rocks,
always, always bearing history,
you and me.

I read an article on ESPN.com that says Rex Ryan wants to have a sit-down with Darrelle Revis and the entire Jets organization to work out his contract. He says the plan works like this:
"Everybody put their cards on the table. Have Darrelle come here with anybody he wants. We'll have Mr. Johnson here ... We'll call off practice. We'll have our whole team there to meet. That way, there's no he-said, she-said. Let's work it that way. Maybe that's how we'll get a solution. Everybody wants a solution. Let's figure out a way to do it. Maybe this is the way."
Is Ryan really serious about this plan, or is he playing hardball in the hopes that Revis chickens out and kowtows to the Jets? By challenging him to negotiate in front of the whole team, it sounds to me like he wants to expose Revis as selfish and greedy. Personally, I feel like Revis does deserve a new deal, but I don't think he's worth whatever he and his agent are asking. I have to give Rex Ryan credit for this plan. It might just be what the team needs to get their star CB back on the field.

Replies to criticism of the Planetary Boundaries concept:
Johan Rockström: addressing some key misconceptions
Planetary Boundaries concept is valuable for policy
New approaches are needed to help humanity deal with climate change and other global environmental threats that lie ahead in the 21st century. A group of 28 internationally renowned scientists propose that global biophysical boundaries, identified on the basis of the scientific understanding of the Earth System, can define a safe planetary operating space that will allow humanity to continue to develop and thrive for generations to come.
This new approach to sustainable development was conveyed in Nature and Ecology and Society where the scientists have made a first attempt to identify and quantify a set of nine planetary boundaries.
"The human pressure on the Earth System has reached a scale where abrupt global environmental change can no longer be excluded. To continue to live and operate safely, humanity has to stay away from critical 'hard-wired´ thresholds in the Earth's environment, and respect the nature of the planet's climatic, geophysical, atmospheric and ecological processes," says lead author Johan Rockström, director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
He warns that transgressing planetary boundaries may be devastating for humanity, but if we respect them we have a bright future for centuries ahead.
Nine boundaries identified
The group of scientists including Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Will Steffen, Katherine Richardson, Jonathan Foley and Nobel Laureate Paul Crutzen, have attempted to quantify the safe biophysical boundaries outside which, they believe, the Earth System cannot function in a stable state, the state in which human civilizations have thrived.
The scientists first identified the Earth System processes and potential biophysical thresholds, which, if crossed, could generate unacceptable environmental change for humanity. They then proposed the boundaries that should be respected in order to reduce the risk of crossing these thresholds.
The Nine boundaries identified were:
- climate change
- stratospheric ozone
- land use change
- freshwater use
- biological diversity
- ocean acidification
- nitrogen and phosphorus inputs to the biosphere and oceans
- aerosol loading
- chemical pollution.
The study suggests that three of these boundaries (climate change, biological diversity and nitrogen input to the biosphere) may already have been transgressed. In addition, it emphasizes that the boundaries are strongly connected — crossing one boundary may seriously threaten the ability to stay within safe levels of the others.
See video with Johan Rockström introducing the planetary boundaries (article continues below).
"The expanding human enterprise could undermine the resilience of the Holocene state, which would otherwise continue for thousands of years into the future, "he says.
Drifting away from a familiar domain
Co-author Professor Hans Joachim Schellnhuber points out that the climate system has clearly started to drift away from the familiar domain where historic experiences apply. The risk of highly nonlinear changes in our environmental conditions is sharply increasing outside that domain.
- Observations of an incipient climate transition include the rapid retreat of summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, melting of almost all mountain glaciers around the world, and an increased rate of sea-level rise in the last 10-15 years, Professor Schellnhuber says. He is Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
- A novel framework
The planetary boundaries concept is already gaining popular interest outside the scientific community, and will be the subject of an upcoming book by environmental author Mark Lynas, whose previous climate change book Six Degrees won the Royal Society prize in 2008.
Katherine Richardson, co-author of the scientific article, emphasises the huge potential for mankind to be more proactive and prevent us doing irreparable damage to the environment.
- What we now present is a novel framework through which our scientific understanding of the Earth System can potentially be used more directly in the societal decision making process, says Richardson. She is Professor at the Earth System Science Center at the University of Copenhagen.
Safe within boundaries
The researchers stress that their approach does not offer a complete roadmap for sustainable development, but does provide an important element by identifying critical planetary boundaries.
- Within these boundaries, humanity has the flexibility to choose pathways for our future development and well-being. In essence, we are drawing the first — albeit very preliminary — map of our planet´s safe operating zones. And beyond the edges of the map, we don´t want to go. Our future research will consider ways in which society can develop within these boundaries — safely, sanely and sustainably, says co-author Professor Jonathan Foley, Director of the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota.
See video with Professor Foley, explaining the boundaries and the importance of not transgressing them.

LONDON - Oscar Pistorius made history last month when he became the first double-amputee to compete at the Olympics.
While the South African "Blade Runner" didn't make the medals podium, it's probably only a matter of time before Pistorius or another disabled runner triumphs.
Many experts predict Paralympians will soon be outperforming their able-bodied counterparts, thanks in part to future developments in prosthetics.
"We're already at the era where prosthetics can outstrip human performance," said David James of the Centre for Sports Engineering Research at Sheffield Hallam University. "With the developments being made in things like powered knees and ankle joints, athletes will soon be flying down the track.
"It's possible Paralympic athletes could one day run faster than Usain Bolt."
Bryce Dyer, an engineering design expert focusing on elite sport at Bournemouth University, said the breakthrough made by Pistorius will spur other disabled athletes to go even further, perhaps using more advanced prosthetics. Dyer added that it's up to sports federations on where to draw the line on prosthetics that enhance performance.
Pistorius' blades were deemed not to give him any advantage over able-bodied runners by sports officials, even though some experts argued otherwise. But more advanced prosthetics could indeed give Paralympians an unfair edge, raising questions over what they will be allowed to use in the future.
"The technology will only improve," Dyer said.
The blades currently being used don't give Paralympic runners the same amount of energy able-bodied runners get from their legs — the athletes are powered only by their hamstrings or hip flexor muscles, as opposed to the additional power a regular runner gets from his or her thigh, calf and ankle.
"In the future, you might see nanotube technology that could produce the same structure as in a biological leg and give you the same amount of energy," said Philippa Oldham, head of manufacturing at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
Still, it's unclear how much these high-tech prostheses will help ordinary people who need artificial limbs. Prosthetics in the Paralympics are the product of thousands of dollars of research and designed for a very specific purpose: improving sports performance. Their benefits may trickle down to the general population, but much of what is showcased at the Paralympics is restricted to elite athletes.
Bruce McLelland, an engineer who has an artificial leg, said the prosthetics used at the Paralympics are "a world away" from what he uses. McLelland has a normal artificial leg for everyday use and another one for swimming. He said his legs incorporate some of the design of the running blades, including being made of carbon fiber so they are lightweight while also being strong and flexible.
"The blades are great if you're going to go running, but they would not suit everyday life," he said.
Pistorius' blades are designed for sprinting at high speed so it's very hard to stay still on them without rocking.
"They also don't really fit well into your normal trouser legs," McLelland said.
McLelland said he usually watches the Paralympics to see the newest prosthetic technology, noting different designs in various sports, like the artificial legs used by badminton players, which are thicker than the running blades since they must be strong enough to allow athletes to jump sideways and quickly change direction. "I think having that kind of flexibility in my prosthetic would be great," he said.
In wheelchair sports, some countries including Britain and Japan have partnered with car companies to ensure the wheelchairs will one day be available on the mass market. To give athletes an edge in sports like wheelchair rugby and basketball, the chairs are now more agile and lightweight, an advantage ordinary wheelchair users could certainly benefit from.
Still, McLelland said his artificial leg, even if it is somewhat outdated, is just fine. "I'm very happy with it and haven't noticed anything detrimental," he said. "But then again, I'm not trying to break any world records."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) was enacted on September 25, 2008, and became effective on January 1, 2009. The law made a number of significant changes to the definition of "disability" under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It also directed the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to amend its ADA regulations to reflect the changes made by the ADAAA. The EEOC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on September 23, 2009. The final regulations were approved by a bipartisan vote and were published in the Federal Register on March 25, 2011.
In enacting the ADAAA, Congress made it easier for an individual seeking protection under the ADA to establish that he or she has a disability within the meaning of the statute. Congress overturned several Supreme Court decisions that Congress believed had interpreted the definition of "disability" too narrowly, resulting in a denial of protection for many individuals with impairments such as cancer, diabetes, and epilepsy. The ADAAA states that the definition of disability should be interpreted in favor of broad coverage of individuals.
The EEOC regulations implement the ADAAA -- in particular, Congress's mandate that the definition of disability be construed broadly. Following the ADAAA, the regulations keep the ADA's definition of the term "disability" as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; a record (or past history) of such an impairment; or being regarded as having a disability. But the regulations implement the significant changes that Congress made regarding how those terms should be interpreted.
The regulations implement Congress's intent to set forth predictable, consistent, and workable standards by adopting "rules of construction" to use when determining if an individual is substantially limited in performing a major life activity.These rules of construction are derived directly from the statute and legislative history and include the following:
As required by the ADAAA, the regulations also make it easier for individuals to establish coverage under the "regarded as" part of the definition of "disability." As a result of court interpretations, it had become difficult for individuals to establish coverage under the "regarded as" prong. Under the ADAAA, the focus for establishing coverage is on how a person has been treated because of a physical or mental impairment (that is not transitory and minor), rather than on what an employer may have believed about the nature of the person's impairment.
The regulations clarify, however, that an individual must be covered under the first prong ("actual disability") or second prong ("record of disability") in order to qualify for a reasonable accommodation . The regulations clarify that it is generally not necessary to proceed under the first or second prong if an individual is not challenging an employer's failure to provide a reasonable accommodation.
The final regulations differ from the NPRM in a number of ways. The final regulations modify or remove language that groups representing employer or disability interests had found confusing or had interpreted in a manner not intended by the EEOC. For example:
The Commission has released two Question-and-Answer documents about the regulations to aid the public and employers – including small business – in understanding the law and new regulations. The ADAAA regulations and accompanying Question and Answer documents are available on the EEOC website at www.eeoc.gov.

Amazon.com reported a third quarter loss of $274 million on Thursday, with the online retailer tossing some of the blame on its investment in the daily deals site LivingSocial. According to Amazon, more than half of its losses for the quarter, roughly $169 million, were tied to the Groupon rival.
LivingSocial — which boasts a 29 percent ownership stake from Amazon (now valued at $94 million) — showed an operating loss of $753 million and a net loss of $503 million for the nine months ended September 30th. That occurred on revenue of $372 million for the period.
Looks pretty ugly, huh?
Well, LivingSocial CEO Tim O'Shaughnessy says in a memo obtained by All Things D that things really aren't that bad. He said the results "don't tell the full story," pointing out that LivingSocial took a one-time charge of $496 million as it revalued companies that it acquired last year.
O'Shaughnessy writes:
When you look at our financial position, the story is very different. For the third quarter of 2012, our global revenue nearly doubled on a year-over-year basis. More important, for the first time since 2009, we had positive operating cash flow for our company on a global basis in the month of September. In other words, we ended the last month of the quarter with more money in the bank than we had at the beginning of the month, marking an important milestone on our path to profitability and long-term success.
Meanwhile, after a stock drop yesterday, shares of Amazon.com are rebounding today in part due to a more upbeat report on the U.S. economy. Shares are up more than two percent.

Welcome to Letters to My Kids.
Let me tell you how this site came to be, and why.
For more than 10 years I promised myself I would write something exclusively for my son Michael and my daughter Caroline. It would be a family history, deeply personal, straight from me to my kids.
After all, I'd already written for just about everyone else – newspapers, magazines and whatnot. Surely I could manage such an assignment for my own children.
But I never got around to it. Somehow I just never found the time, only plenty of excuses. I had a full-time job. I had a part-time job. I needed to watch TV every night and play basketball on weekends. You've heard the song.
But then I resolved to do it. In 2008, I started a journal, one for each child. Every week I took an hour or so to capture a special memory about my kids and my own life – equal parts celebration and confession, heavy on encouragement but light on advice.
That Christmas I presented the handwritten journals as gifts. The next year I completed a second set, also given at Christmas.
My purpose was to show my kids how much they mean to me, how much I remember, how deeply I love each one. I also intended to leave something behind — an heirloom more precious than any wedding ring, a legacy ultimately more heartfelt and tangible and valuable in its own right than any insurance policy.
Now I'm going to publish these journals – more than 100 entries in all – right here. Anyone and everyone will be able to see every word I wrote for my kids.
It's cool. My kids okayed it.
I'm taking this private initiative public for another reason. It is to urge other parents to start family history journals, too – particularly Dads, who, unlike mothers, tend to be closed books.
Maybe, even, to take a pledge to do so soon, before it's too late.
If you do – if you so invest in your past — you'll be in for the adventure of a lifetime.
You'll discover new truths about yourself and your life. You'll also find out just how deeply you love your kids, too.
They'll find out, too.
P.S. — My first "letter" will appear this Sunday (Father's Day).

After disbanding the Replacements in 1991, singer/songwriter Paul Westerberg resurfaced the following year with two songs on the Singles soundtrack. A year later, Westerberg released his first solo album, 14 Songs, in the summer of 1993. Although the record received generally positive reviews and spawned the modern rock hit "World Class Fad," the album failed to break the songwriter into the mainstream. Three years later, Westerberg released his second solo album, Eventually. Like 14 Songs and the entire Replacements catalog before it, Eventually received good reviews but failed to become a commercial success upon its spring 1996 release.
In the spring of 1997, Westerberg left Reprise Records. He recorded a one-off EP under the name Grandpaboy for the Boston-based indie label Soundproof/Monolyth Records; the label was co-owned by Darren Hill, who had previously played bass with Westerberg. By the time the EP was released in August 1997, Westerberg had signed a new contract with Capitol Records, releasing Suicaine Gratifaction — widely acclaimed as his finest solo work to date — in early 1999. Unfortunately, Capitol's management was completely overhauled during the release of the album, causing the expected push behind the release to be prematurely buried.
Westerberg was dropped and essentially disappeared from the music scene until 2002, when he suddenly announced the complicated Stereo/Mono project. He had signed with Vagrant Records with the intention of releasing a double album recorded half in stereo, half in mono. Obviously enthusiastic about the new material, he decided to release the mono side under the Grandpaboy moniker two months early, and started an in-store tour that spring to promote both releases. Westerberg participated in the making of a documentary film about the tour and a subsequent series of solo shows at theaters, Come Feel Me Tremble, which featured concert footage contributed by fans who used video cameras to record the shows.
Westerberg assembled a soundtrack album of unreleased material to coincide with the film's release in the fall of 2003; a year later, another homemade album, Folker, was released, this one focusing on his more introspective side and featuring an affectionate remembrance of his late father simply titled "My Dad." Rounding up soundtrack appearances, outtakes, B-sides, and fan favorites, Besterberg: Best of Paul Westerberg appeared in May 2005. In 2006, Westerberg released Open Season, the soundtrack to the Sony animated feature of the same name. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Post subject: Try Roasting them!
I've been roasting Brussel Sprouts for years. Clean them, place in roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, fresh garlic, kosher salt. Put in oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until tender. For final 3-4 minutes broil to develop crust on outside.
Serve hot, cold, room temp. Believe me, delicious!

Personally, I think Brussels sprouts are something that the child palate just doesn't handle very well. I *hated* them as a kid; always had to eat three (why three, I don't know, but my mother's rule) and I'd hold my nose and chew them as little as possible.
Grew up, and bought some by mistake (there was a bag in with the frozen broccoli). I was broke enough that I had to eat what I had, and I cooked them *just* like my mother had (meaning, I followed the directions on the bag), and they were *wonderful.*
I've found the same true for asparagus, beets, turnips, parsnips, and rutabaga: I like them much, much more than I did as a child, even when cooked exactly the same way. (Okay, I still don't like parsnips very much, but they no longer make me want to gag.)

Ok I tried them as a kid and hated them, tried them braised and did not care for them, and now they have one last chance to redeem themselves and only because I bought 12 and only cooked 6. Think I'll go with carmalizing them as I think Sabrina suggested for trial 3. Or I'll roast three in the toaster oven and saute the rest, we'll see...

Many vegetables are so much better only slightly cooked, if at all! Broccoli is another example - I like mine steamed or gently cooked, but my boyfriend's family likes them loaded down with salt and garlic, boiled, then roasted. I had some last Thanksgiving and I choked they were so salty! I gagged down all I put on my plate, to be polite. There was no broccoli taste left in them, which is a shame. Why eat something that doesn't taste like its supposed to? Yuck!
Anyways, when I worked for a restaurant, the chef decided he was going to make Brussels sprouts braised in Scotch. I think more Scotch went into the chef than the sprouts, but the kitchen smelled like alcohol for days. Those little buggers sure can absorb a lot of Scotch! That's all the first batch tasted like. The employees ate most of those
That was a fun day...

Post subject: brussels sprouts starters
As starters and to add colour to the buffet table, i use this simple recipe.
Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick pan. Sautée chopped onions on medium heat till caramalized. Add the b.sprouts ( cut into halves) and sautée for 5-7 minutes. Add juliennes of dried tomatoes. Stir for 2 minutes. Add 4 tablespoons of cream. Sprinkle just a hint of dried herbs ( rosemary, basil, thyme). Add salt to taste. Serve hot. Goes well with grilled bread.
Using mediterranean dishes like baked pasta, marinated bell peppers, tomato and mozarella salad etc as other side dishes would be wiser. I prefer it as an option and not 'the' only option.

Hi guys,
I cooked some brussels sprouts this week end and I remember that my mother always told me to first boil the sprouts for a couple of mins and then discard the water.
You then get rid of the chemical to causes gastro problems.
Any ideas what it is?
Have a look at the pictures. The sprouts could look better but they are not overcooked. They just have been badly treated in the pan

Post subject: brussels sprouts are mostly an adults treat
A friend of mine told me of this technique of cooking brussels sprouts and it is so good I think almost anyone would like it. You simply simmer the sprouts in orange juice ( just enough to almost cover them) minced garlic and salt for about 8 - 10 minutes or until tender. Strain off 3/4 of the liquid, transfer sprouts from pot to oven safe dish, place in a single layer and cover with grated cheddar cheese. Broil these in the oven JUST until cheese is melted, be careful not to overcook or burn them. TADA, you can now enjoy this wonderful way to eat sprouts, hope you enjoy.

I've tried this recipe twice now and love it. It cooks the sprouts just right without over cooking them. I have been adding some fresh-grated parmesian cheese to the recipe as well, as I think sharp parmesian taste works very well with the nutty flavor of the sprouts.

I've always loved brussel sprouts! Grew up with them blanched and served with butter and salt. I enjoy sauteeing them in olive oil and minced garlic.
My favorite way to enjoy them though is pickled. First discovered in a bloody mary in downtown Milwaukee. I've found a specialty shop here in Southern CA that carries a spicy version of pickled ones called Gourmet Atomic Frog Balls. Here's their site:

Post subject: Mine eat Brussel Sprouts
I full-heartedly disagree with the comments on " a child's palate" not ready for Brussels sprouts. I've been serving Brussels Sprouts to my kids for years now. They not only eat their sprouts without protest, they eat many other vegetables and ask for seconds too. "Mommy can we have sauteed Brussels sprouts with dinner?" - that's actually my husband's specialty. It involves, butter, onions, salt and pepper and the iron skillet. I'm more of a "steam-them" cook.
I'd like to blame the preparation as being the reason for kids' distaste for Brussels sprouts and other veggies - from boiling into a yucky mush to overly stewed and salted jarred baby food. Maybe our mini-food processor saved my little ones' tastebuds. It's a theory anyway...
In Texas we bought frozen Brussels sprouts and occassionally the fresh version. But our best experience was eating them in France. Who'd of thought that Brussels sprouts could actually be
! Now we live in Maryland and I find it harder to find bagged, frozen Brussels sprouts. So, we are limited to buying in-season, fresh...not a bad thing.
Unfortunately, no matter how I prepare them, neither child likes yellow summer squash.
By the way, great website! I enjoyed all of the new ideas for Brussels sprouts, not to mention learning the correct spelling too!

I can remember as a child plucking the nasty cabbage balls (brussel sprouts) my mother perpared off my plate because they were disgusting. For over thirty years I was afraid to try them because of childhood memories. Recently by mistake I had place a dinner order and brussels had arrived on my plate. I said to my self yuck cabbage balls' got to throw them away. But they didn't look the color of puck green as when my cooked them, but were a rich green color...looked good enough to eat. So I tried one my goodness they were wonderful. Now I'm a fan of the sprout.

Short Version: How do I get 2 computers to shutdown when a UPS battery gets low?
Long Version:
I have an APC UPS, the RS 1500. It has a USB cord that goes into my main dev computer. My dev computer will shutdown when the battery gets low.
However, in addition, I have now hooked up a database server to the same UPS.
How can I have that database server also know that it needs to shut down when the battery gets low?
