Ars was at FOSSCamp this weekend. Think of FOSSCamp as an "un-conference" without a set agenda where the minds behind open source projects get together and plot world domination (and, err, ways to improve their code). One fascinating session (and one that shows how FOSSCamp works and why it's so productive) was given by Mirco Müller, who discussed using OpenGL in GTK applications. Müllerâ€â€the developer behind Cairo-Clock and the LowFat image viewerâ€â€talked about the state of OpenGL support in desktop applications and described various techniques that developers can use to make OpenGL content integrate better with conventional GTK user interfaces.

Other approvals
Land in urban and peri-urban areas
A new State Environment Planning Policy (Vegetation in non-Rural Areas) has been developed that will apply to land that is not covered by the Local Land Services Amendment Act.
This includes areas such as the Sydney metropolitan area, urban zones across NSW, and all environmental conservation and management zones.
For more information:
Some activities may impact a matter of environmental significance. In this instance, approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 may be required.
Routine agricultural activities that have been in operation since before 2000 will not trigger a need for referral.
Local Land Services is working closely with the Commonwealth to ensure a streamlined process for land owners by reducing the requirements for the dual consent and dual compliance.
The new arrangements will clearly identify the risks and triggers associated with the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, and only refer those matters that clearly require assessment.
Speak to a member of the Local Land Services team to assist you navigate the approvals process.

If you watch any Martin Scorsese flick you'd know how perfectly he marries music with his movies. But it's his masterful use of silence that makes some of his scenes hit even harder. The absence of sound can be even more powerful than the perfect song.
Tony Zhou explains how Scorsese works the art of silence in his movies, writing:
Even though Martin Scorsese is famous for his use of music, one of his best traits is his deliberate and powerful use of silence. Take a glimpse at fifty years of this simple technique from one of cinema's masters.

25 Tools That Take Tutoring To a New Level
Like other areas of education, tutoring has seen some radical changes in the past decade courtesy of new and increasingly innovative technologies. Students and their tutors can now interact at any time and from anywhere in the world, and tutors can create and share educational resources with their students in minutes using high-quality and often low-cost online tools. Learn more about some of the websites and resources that are helping to define the new face of tutoring by reading about a few of the best of these new tools that we've collected here.
Through Skype, tutors and students don't even have to be in the same country to interact with one another. In addition to high-quality video chat, the site also makes it easy to share files and even conference in other students or tutors. While it's great for global communications, it's just as useful for helping local learners with simple questions as they go through their homework.
Google+ Hangouts:
Google+ Hangouts is another excellent tool for remote tutoring. Not only can tutors talk with students over video on laptops and other handheld devices, they can also use just about every other feature Google has to offer at the same time. Screen sharing, connectivity with Google Docs, and the ability to archive discussions have made it an excellent choice for a number of educational applications.
While Skype alone can be a great way to meet and talk with students, some subjects require a little more interaction and instruction. That's where IDroo comes in. IDroo works with Skype, adding whiteboard features that make it simple for tutors to show students how to solve math problems, construct sentences, or even build circuits. It's flexible, useful, and allows tutors and their students to work well at a distance.
To date, there are more than 150,000 teachers and tutors and 2 million students using WizIQ, an online learning program. WizIQ allows users to set up classes for students, deliver lectures live or recorded, distribute educational materials, monitor usage, and even give tests.
Tutors and their students can easily share and collaborate on things through Wikispaces. It's an amazing tool for collecting information students can use to learn, but it can also help tutors to give feedback to students who are doing research, writing a paper, or just showcasing how much they know about a subject.
Tutors can use this great website to showcase the services they have to offer learners. It helps to simplify the process of finding new students and allows learners to easily connect with those in their area or who have expertise in subjects with which they struggle.
Tutor.com is another excellent tool for tutors who are looking for new clients. It allows tutors to find students at a variety of different levels (and vice versa). Even better, all tutoring through the site takes place online, so tutors never even have to leave their computers to start bringing in extra income.
GlobalScholar offers a wide range of online services, including homework help and tutoring. Tutors can use the site to build personalized learning environments for their students, which make it simple to teach, share information, and even track progress over time. With many large school districts already using the program, students may already be familiar with it, and progress in tutoring sessions can easily be shared with the students' teacher.
There are a lot of online tutoring programs out there these days, but ziizoo sets itself apart by being the first to integrate tutoring with Facebook. Students can sign up, pay as they go, and get help from tutors on a wide range of subjects. Since it's all integrated directly into Facebook, it's easy for students to keep up and check back.
With a lot of tutoring taking place online, it's key that tutors have tools that will help them to develop web-friendly learning resources. One of the coolest tools for doing that is Animoto. Animoto lets users combine photos, videos, and music into one sleek presentation, which can be a great way to introduce or explain topics that learners are struggling with.
Tutor's Office:
Tutor's Office is a great service that can help tutors and teacher manage all of their activities, meetings, and students. It features a calendar, tools for invoicing and accepting payments, a personal website, student portals, and much more. Essentially, the site brings together a whole host of tools that are pretty key to managing a successful online tutoring business.
Moodle is a course management system that is free for educators to use. It offers resources that make it simple to create learning sites that students can use, integrating a calendar, blog, and other useful tools into one site. It's a great way for tutors to share information, especially when working with multiple students in the same grade.
Tutors can offer their services through TutorVista, a site that makes it simple for tutors and learners to connect and interact online. The site offers 24/7 availability, testing, homework help, and tracking, making it a step in the right direction for both students and those teaching them.
Share your expertise through Edufire, a site that offers classes and tutoring to learners of all ages and abilities. Live video chats, one-on-one sessions, and pre-recorded content make it simple to find help with just about any topic, from math to Chinese.
Speak Chinese or Spanish and want to help others to learn? Looking to learn yourself? This site offers fully-featured language tutoring through online private sessions with native speakers, making it an amazing tool for anyone looking to do a little language learning.
Growing Stars:
Growing Stars is another online tutoring site, though one that focuses on hiring tutors who have an MS or above. Those who are qualified can apply to tutor, finding long-term clients who teach math, science, history, and other subjects through online video sessions and training.
YouTube is a great tool for tutoring for a variety of reasons. Tutors can make and share videos or learners, or direct their students to some of the amazing educational content that already exists on the site to help them understand complex topics or make learning a bit more fun.
24 Hour Answers:
This site offers college homework help and online tutoring in just about every subject imaginable. As a result, both students and tutors will find it to be a great resource, and unlike many other tutoring sites, this one focuses on helping students at the college or university level.
e-Tutor offers both students and tutors some incredibly helpful learning tools, from instant feedback and progress tracking to the ability to self-pace and direct any online learning. Resources aren't just for students who need help catching up, but also gifted students, homeschooled students, and adult learners, too.
Need some quick help with homework? This site can be a great place to find it. There's a store, online tutorials, and, most importantly, great academic services that match up with state standards for K-12 education.
Students pay by the hour to use the tutoring services offered through this site, which focuses on math, foreign language, and science. In addition to being able to offer or receive tutoring, the site is also home to books and videos that can help students along as well.
Sylvan Online:
Sylvan is keeping up with the demand for web-based learning resources by offering their own online tutoring program. Instead of heading into a Sylvan Learning Center, students can learn from anywhere they choose. This may make tutoring easier for many families who are too busy or too far from traditional tutoring resources.
Tutors at Vienova offer one-on-one sessions with students through video chat, whiteboards, and interactive conversations in subjects like English, math, biology, and economics. It's another simple, easy way for learners to find high-quality tutors and for tutors to offer their services to students.
Forget about posting tear off posters at your local grocery store; there's an easier way to find clients these days. Tutors and students can connect through Care.com. Tutors can create a profile that allows them to showcase the services they offer, and students can pick the tutor they think will be the best fit.
Here you'll find another tool that focuses on online tutoring. Visitors to the site can not only search for a tutor who works in the subject they need help with, they can also get online instruction from that tutor right through the site.

Claudia Perey necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 297 diseños de 37 diseñadores freelance.
Claude's Food
We have a food stall at 'the famous' and huge EUMUNDI MARKETS in Queensland's Sunshine Coast, we also do various food and music festivals including NOOSA FOOD & WINE, RIPE , body art, jazz, multicultural etc.. We'll also be including more festivals like WOODFORD, SPLENDOR & The DREAMING.
My partner and I are both qualified chefs and we've been operating this business for 3 years, it's growing well but we want a fresh new look, to replace our current signage that convays what we do more accurately.
Basically, our stall is fronted with a large curved glass deli display fridge, which we fill with gourmet salads, frittatas, rice pudding, fruit salad and (in winter) take home soups. We also do an authentic Malaysian laksa and have BQQ'd marinated chicken, tofu and prawns to go on top of the salads or laksa. We take influences from all over the world and keep it modern and seasonal, but most importantly FRESH, DELICIOUS & HEALTHY.
When I say healthy, it's not your vegan, micro biotic....bland..... 'health food' type healty where everything tastes like sawdust with some cumin added. It's tasty, fresh, multicultural food, cooked by chefs..... like you'd get in a funky cafe that knows how to do a good espresso.
We've just been asked to be the sole caterers for the VIP tent at Ripe festival, this will be huge so we need to be ready to go and looking good by the end of May.
Eumundi Markets has an average of 10,000 vistors every Saturday and 5,000 every Wednesday, most of these are tourists from all over the world. We are already one of the busiest food stalls, with many regular customers but want to entice even more of those one off visitors.
Our customers span all ages and both genders, they're people who care about food and recognise quality. They tend to be health conscious, and want fresh food that's not mass produced.
Once people see the deli cabinet the food really sells itself, so we want to reel them in from afar with signage, this is especially true at festivals where there's large spaces and crowds of people all trying to choose their meal.
The look we're after is SIMPLE, FRESH and MODERN, kind of like a BOUTIQUE DELI/CAFE. We use black boards with white chalk for menus and specials but we need a large sign accross the front of our stall saying - Claude's food with a logo, we also need to convey the kind of food we do so maybe a tag line or something saying - (fresh-delicious-healthy) if you can think of any other suitable wording I'm all ears !
SIZE - The sign will be 3m long x 1m wide, no doubt we'll also use the logo on business cards and menu boards but my main concern now is this front signage.
COLOUR - Our gazebo is white but we want the signage to be like the colours of the food. At the moment our sinage is a fresh bright olive green background with white writing, it's very simple and summery, this is fine on warm sunny days but I feel we need to bring in a little warmth into the logo for those rainy cold days. So the pallet would be olive green with vibrant orange, tomato/chilli red, beetroot, or aubergine.Prefer coloured backgrond with pale writing writing as this is very clear and easy to read from a distance.
FONT- must be funky and modern, a mix of freestyle / stylised and neat is fine.
For the LOGO I tend to lean towards simple line drawings, I guess we want to incorporate the idea of cool summer salads with hot spicey laksa in an image IT COULD BE ABSRACT, MORE USING COLOUR TO CONVEY THIS
Most importantly I don't want it to look too 'slick' or 'commercial' we need a proffesional look while maintaining that hand made gourmet style.
We'll also need 2 very simple banners text only, 1 saying LAKSA the other SALAD

Researchers at U of T Engineering have developed a new way of growing realistic human tissues outside the body. Their "person-on-a-chip" technology, called AngioChip, is a powerful platform for discovering and testing new drugs, and could eventually be used to repair or replace damaged organs.
Professor Milica Radisic (IBBME, ChemE), graduate student Boyang Zhang and their collaborators are among those research groups around the world racing to find ways to grow human tissues in the lab, under conditions that mimic a real person's body. They have developed unique methods for manufacturing small, intricate scaffolds for individual cells to grow on. These artificial environments produce cells and tissues that resemble the real thing more closely than those grown lying flat in a petri dish.
The team's recent creations have included BiowireTM — an innovative method of growing heart cells around a silk suture — as well as a scaffold for heart cells that snaps together like sheets of Velcro™. But AngioChip takes tissue engineering to a whole new level. "It's a fully three-dimensional structure complete with internal blood vessels," says Radisic. "It behaves just like vasculature, and around it there is a lattice for other cells to attach and grow." The work — which is published todayin the journal Nature Materials — was produced collaboratively with researchers from across U of T, including Professor Michael Sefton (ChemE, IBBME), Professor Aaron Wheeler (Chemistry, IBBME) and their research teams, as well as researchers from Toronto General Hospital and University Health Network.
Zhang built the scaffold out of POMaC, a polymer that is both biodegradable and biocompatible. The scaffold is built out of a series of thin layers, stamped with a pattern of channels that are each about 50 to 100 micrometres wide. The layers, which resemble the computer microchips, are then stacked into a 3D structure of synthetic blood vessels. As each layer is added, UV light is used to cross-link the polymer and bond it to the layer below.
When the structure is finished, it is bathed in a liquid containing living cells. The cells quickly attach to the inside and outside of the channels and begin growing just as they would in the human body.

Put aside, for just a few minutes, whatever political rhetoric has infiltrated your airspace about the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA). Whatever you think of the health-reform law, it's coming, and with the clock ticking toward an Oct. 13, 2013, pre-enrollment deadline, some of the most important work for implementing "Obamacare" is going on now in the states.
As a member of the California Health Benefit Exchange Board, I've had a front-row seat for our state's efforts, and we're off to an encouraging start with our state exchange, branded as Covered California.
These state-level health benefit exchanges are the central, essential structural element of the ACA -- an effort to create a competitive, transparent health insurance marketplace for individual consumers in which price and quality for comparable products drive the purchase of those products. As of this writing, more than half of the states have opted to pass up on creating their own health exchanges, deferring their operation to the federal government. In my view, every state that relegates this decision to Washington reduces our chances of finding innovative solutions to controlling costs while improving health.
That's certainly what we've been trying to do in California. Our five-member health-exchange board adopted the ACA's mission of expanding health-insurance coverage, improving health-care quality, improving choice and value, and controlling rising costs. We've known from the start that the keys to our success would be contracting with affordable health plans, embarking on an effective outreach and marketing strategy, and executing a smooth, user-friendly enrollment process.
We issued a request for proposals statewide, inviting health plans to compete in one or more of 18 geographic regions across our sizable state. Thirty-three health plans responded. In an evaluation process driven by price, value, quality and provider-network adequacy, we selected 13 health plans to be on the selection panel for Covered California consumers. Moreover, four of the health plans were newcomers to the individual health-insurance market, one that suffers in choice and affordability compared to plans based on large- and small-group rates.
The most encouraging news: the rates we were able to negotiate. The prices that came in were far lower than the most dire, doomsday predictions, and even lower than actuarial and Government Accountability Office projections. In the most populous California regions, our 2014 individual market rates will be equal to or cheaper than 2013 small-group rates.
So we now have health-plan partners and provider networks that are ready, willing and able to provide a reasonably affordable product, and in a new, online, transparent marketplace for consumers. But with that Oct. 13 deadline approaching and the Jan. 1, 2014, open-enrollment and coverage start date not far behind, we still have much wood to chop. Over the next few years, we need to find and enroll as many as 5 million uninsured Californians who stand to benefit from Obamacare.
Our outreach and enrollment will be both "high tech" and "high-touch." Some Californians will choose the technology-friendly online shopping and enrollment route. Others will need more human, hands-on assistance to enroll. We are building infrastructure and readying ourselves for either approach.

ITOCHU Announces Investment in U.S. Venture Company That Possesses Second Generation Bioethanol Manufacturing Technology
March 5, 2012
ITOCHU Corporation (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Masahiro Okafuji, President & CEO; hereinafter "ITOCHU") announced today that it has acquired shares in ZeaChem Inc. (headquartered in Colorado, U.S.A.: Jim Imbler, CEO; hereinafter "ZeaChem").
Together, ITOCHU and ZeaChem will acquire partners in each region to investigate the expansion of the technology worldwide, in second generation bioethanol business sectors that use ZeaChem's technology, and in the future in chemicals business sectors that produce from biomass (green chemicals industry), with the aim of commercializing the technology in 2014. Also, we will create new business through project investment and development, by continuing to actively pursue the development of leading-edge technologies that are environmentally friendly and promising.
About ZeaChem
|Name of company
|ZeaChem Inc.
|Jim Imbler
|Head Office
|Lakewood, Colorado, the U.S.A.
|Year established
About Second Generation Bioethanol and ZeaChem technology background
As of now, ethanol is manufactured primarily from foods such as corn and sugar cane, and the volume that can be produced is limited. As a result, production of bioethanol, which is derived from inedible biomass and can be procured in large volumes, is attracting worldwide attention, and is known as second-generation bioethanol or cellulosic ethanol. Inedible biomass mainly refers to wood grown on land that is unsuitable for farming or agricultural residue such as rice straw and wheat straw. Since it is renewable, it is environmentally friendly, cheaper to obtain than conventional raw materials, and can be procured worldwide. However, until now the ethanol conversion efficiency when producing ethanol from biomass sources such as these was extremely low compared with conventional ethanol production, and it could not be produced cheaply.
The greatest drawback to conventional ethanol fermentation was the generation of carbon dioxide gas. By doing away with this, and by making good use of the biomass residue that until now has had to go to waste, ZeaChem has succeeded in substantially raising the ethanol conversion efficiency.
ZeaChem's unique, next-generation technology has the ability to utilize diverse, non-food biomass resources, including wood such as poplar, eucalyptus and acacia, as well as energy grasses, and agricultural residues. This biomass flexibility allows for deployment of the technology in wide-ranging geographic regions. The highly efficient conversion of these biomass resources into multiple fuel and chemical products, which are currently fossil fuel derived, delivers environmental and economic benefits to established markets and industries. ZeaChem products include bio-based chemicals such as acetic acid and propylene and biofuels including ethanol.
Wood that can be used all year round and does not require a storage warehouse is the most convenient raw material for actual production, and by switching tree varieties between eucalyptus, poplar, and acacia, it is possible to choose the production area, regardless of the temperature. Moreover, if ethanol production is located next to the areas where the trees are grown, the cost of transporting raw materials can be kept down. ZeaChem's process does not choose the types of biomass to use, so the large volumes of agricultural residue that remain in harvest season may be used and deployed worldwide.
Further, ZeaChem's process makes it possible to produce chemicals such as propylene. This changes the structure of chemical production that relies on fossil fuels, offering great potential environmental advantages, and as such the process is attracting worldwide attention.

I'm moving my application from one server to another. Everything seems to work except printing. When I try to print, this error pops up on the server "Printer not activated, error code - 30". When I click OK the following message apprears in the browser.
Error in event handler code for OnClick event for 'PrintPreview':
Amyuni Low Level Print:
Layout name: Item_Info@[PathAlias.ADB_Path]\set_i...its_unique.set
Layout type: report
Error communicating with printer
The file set_item_units_unique.set is in the same location on the new server as it was on the old so I know it not a missing file.
I had this probem when I setup my first server. I did the following steps and it fixed it.
1. In windows control panel, go to the printer panel
2. Right click on the "Alpha Five Printer" driver then Properties.
3. Click the Port tab
4. Click Add Port. Highlight "Local Port" and click New Port. Add a new port name called PDF1. Click Close
5. Make sure the check mark for the port used by the Alpha Five Printer is set to the new PDF1 port. Click Apply.
These same steps have been completed on the new server but I'm still getting the error. I really think an Activation Code will fix the problem but don't think I'm suppose to need one since the driver comes with the Alpha Application Server.
Any ideas?

Early and accurate diagnosis of LBD, while not always easy to do, is of critical importance for two reasons.
- First, people with LBD may respond more favorably to certain dementia medications than people with Alzheimer's, allowing for early treatment that may improve or extend the quality of life for both the person with LBD and their caregiver.
- Secondly, many people with LBD respond more poorly to certain medications for behavior and movement than people with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, sometimes with dangerous or permanent side effects.
By learning about common forms of dementia, you can help your physician most quickly identify what type of dementia has developed.
Common Forms of Dementia
Alzheimer's disease symptoms include a progressive loss of recent memory; problems with language, calculation, abstract thinking, and judgment; depression or anxiety; personality and behavioral changes; and disorientation to time and place.
Lewy body dementia (LBD) is an umbrella term for a form of dementia that has three common presentations.
- Some individuals will start out with a memory or cognitive disorder that may resemble Alzheimer's disease, but over time two or more distinctive features become apparent leading to the diagnosis of 'dementia with Lewy bodies' (DLB). Symptoms that differentiate it from Alzheimer's include unpredictable levels of cognitive ability, attention or alertness, changes in walking or movement, visual hallucinations, a sleep disorder called REM sleep behavior disorder, in which people physically act out their dreams, and severe sensitivity to medications for hallucinations. In some cases, the sleep disorder can precede the dementia and other symptoms of LBD by decades.
- Others will start out with a movement disorder leading to the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and later develop dementia and other symptoms common in DLB.
- Lastly, a small group will first present with neuropsychiatric symptoms, which can include hallucinations, behavioral problems, and difficulty with complex mental activities, leading to an initial diagnosis of DLB.
Regardless of the initial symptom, over time all three presentations of LBD will develop very similar cognitive, physical, sleep and behavioral features, all caused by the presence of Lewy bodies throughout the brain.
Vascular dementia is caused by a series of small strokes that deprive the brain of vital oxygen. Symptoms, such as disorientation in familiar locations; walking with rapid, shuffling steps; incontinence; laughing or crying inappropriately; difficulty following instructions; and problems handling money may appear suddenly and worsen with additional strokes. High blood pressure, cigarette smoking, and high cholesterol are some of the risk factors for stroke that may be controlled to prevent vascular dementia.
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) includes several disorders with a variety of symptoms. The most common signs of FTD include changes in personality and behavior, such as inappropriate or compulsive behavior, euphoria, apathy, decline in personal hygiene, and a lack of awareness concerning these changes. Some forms of FTD involve language and speech symptoms or movement changes.

Former "Partridge Family" star David Cassidy says he's struggling with memory loss.
The 66-year-old actor-singer tells People magazine his family has a history of dementia and he had sensed "this was coming." He says for now he wants to stay focused and "enjoy life."
Cassidy's revelation follows a recent concert in Agoura Hills, California, where he reportedly struggled to remember lyrics to songs he had been singing for nearly 50 years.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The performer has had numerous personal problems in the decades following his initial success, ranging from substance abuse to bankruptcy. He's the stepson of actress and fellow "Partridge Family" star Shirley Jones.
Cassidy had announced early this year that he planned to wrap up his 50-year career by the end of 2017.
In a statement at the time, Cassidy said that "traveling and my arthritis" have made performing around the country difficult in recent years.
The one-time "Partridge Family" heartthrob said at the time that his retirement was "not a complete 'Good bye' but I'm planning on working much less."

Despite her recent denial, RadarOnline is confirming that Nene Leakes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta is indeed dating NFL star Charles Grant.
According to Radar, Nene's marriage to Gregg Leakes is in "crumbles." As we pointed out in our last report, Nene never denied being separated from her husband Gregg.
To make matters worse, Radar is also reporting that Nene's alleged new beau, Charles, is set to stand trial for manslaughter. The 6-foot-3, 290lb former New Orleans Saints defense linesman was apparently indicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter back in Feb 2008, after his then pregnant girlfriend, Korynda Reed, 23, was shot to death outside a Blakely, Georgia, nightclub.
While Charles maintains he is innocent of this horrific crime. His trial is set to begin May 3. According to a source, "NeNe and Charles met at a fundraiser for him and they have been involved for over a year and a half now." The source continues, "Gregg and NeNe split up a few months ago and she is still living in the family home while her husband comes and goes."
The source also claims Gregg knows about Nene's affair with Charles, but still loves her and wants to save their marriage.
Nene has reportedly fallen hard for 31-year-old Charles, who has told her he is innocent of the shooting of Reed and her unborn child. The source adds: "NeNe believes that somebody is innocent until proven guilty and she is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt."
UPDATE: Nene Leakes has released the following statement denying an affair with Charles, however admitting some marital troubles with husband Gregg.
"Greg and I are still together – not separated or divorced. I have not left my husband for NFL player Charles Grant, and I don't know how those rumors started. Charles Grant is no more than a casual acquaintance of mine since hosting one of his charity events in Atlanta about a year ago. I really have not had any contact with him since the Super Bowl, where I congratulated him for his big win along with other fans. I have never cheated on my husband, and reports of infidelity on my part are simply untrue. Like any married couple, we're going through some marital problems, and working toward a path of recovery that's personal and private. Our marital issues have nothing to do with infidelity on my behalf."

Director Quentin Tarantino has an all-star cast lined up for his new picture "Django Unchained," an adventure set in the pre-Civil War slavery system.
Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz will share top billing in the film, slated for release the day after Christmas.
A synopsis of the film was released Friday by Sony Pictures and the Weinstein Company outlining the plot, The Hollywood Reporter said.
The tale features Foxx in the title role of Django, a slave who becomes the increasingly effective right-hand man of Waltz, a bounty hunter who tracks down wanted criminals in Antebellum Dixie.
The plot takes the pair to a brutal plantation owned by DiCaprio where Django has the opportunity to rescue his wife, played by Kerry Washington, who was sold in the slave trade years before.
Also in cast are Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell.

FROM search and rescue work for the police, to keeping the elderly company – there are many opportunities to give something back.
Recent appeals for volunteers have come from Oxfordshire lowland Search And Rescue (OxSAR), Age UK, and Helen and Douglas House Hospices.
And it is said that volunteers can get much more out of giving up their time, as well as getting the chance to pick up skills and gain experience.
Volunteering boosts employability, self-esteem and health, according to a new report published by the Citizens Advice Bureau.
The new report, CAB volunteering – how everyone benefits, reveals that four in five people who give their time to the Citizens Advice service believe volunteering has had a positive effect on their health.
In 2013, more than 80 volunteers gave up their time for Oxford CAB, helping 6,500 clients to solve over 9,000 problems.
Gill Tishler, above, director of Oxford CAB, said: "These are tough times and I think the value of having a well-resourced service can support people in facing these challenges is difficult to underestimate.
"In the current economic climate having people who are willing to give up their time to deliver the service we have here is even more important."
She said Volunteers' Week was a good chance to showcase what they did and thank them for it.
The service director said more than 80 people gave up their time to help at the St Aldate's office – from reception work to giving out advice on accommodation and finance.
She said: "Volunteers are the lifeblood of Oxford CAB. They make a huge contribution to the local community, helping to support 6,500 people each year when they need it the most."
Nationally, more than 22,000 volunteers gave up their time to help people in the Citizens Advice Bureau, resulting in more than £100million of volunteering hours.
Ms Tishler said: "The service here could not run without the input of the volunteers.
But she said: "People get a lot back from it. It does keep people engaged with their community, it keeps people updated with the issues other people are having to deal with. It is a two-way thing."
Oxford CAB volunteer Michael Bevan, 57, from Abingdon, said: "I have been volunteering with Oxford CAB for about a year and have really enjoyed it.
"I've learned a lot about an incredibly wide range of advice areas. At the same time my confidence in dealing with challenging situations and complex organisations has grown enormously.
"I get a real sense of achievement from making a difference to other people's lives – and it makes a big difference to mine too."
The report also found 90 per cent of volunteers felt an increased sense of purpose or self-esteem and 80 per cent felt they were now more likely to get a job.
Steve Archibald, above, a volunteer for search and rescue group OxSAR, said the group gave up 5,609 man-hours last year to help search for missing people.
The 44-year-old, who runs an oven-cleaning business, said across the country similar volunteer search teams saved police forces an estiamted £3.8m in 2013.
The 40-strong team last month appealed for more help after Thames Valley Police called it out to 30 incidents between January and May – more than the whole of last year.
Thames Valley Police has had to cut £55m from its £386m budget following cuts from Government.
The OxSAR team, including chairman Pat Conafray, far right
This year OxSAR has helped to search for missing Eynsham grandmother Jackie Gulliford.
The search team were also the first to find Firzana Saeed, discovered dead in the river behind Oxford Ice Rink in March.
Mr Archibald, who moved from Summertown to near Henley last month, said the volunteers were often woken in the middle of the night to go out and search.
But he said: "Whenever we are out on a search there is a family somewhere waiting on the phone. We are always very aware that there is a family involved."
The volunteer said the team had a dinner lady and a retired banker among its ranks.
And he added: "We are always looking for more volunteers. We have to raise £12,000 a year just to keep ticking over."
For more information about the CAB visit citizensadvice.org.uk and to volunteer for the search and rescue email firstname.lastname@example.com or call Pat Conafray on 07788 583543.
Giving provides feel-good factor
The Citizens Advice Bureau's Value of Volunteering report released to mark Volunteers' Week, which ends today, found:
Nine in 10 people reported an increased sense of purpose or self-esteem
Four in five believe they have increased their employability
Nine in 10 feel more engaged in their community
Nine in 10 feel better equipped and empowered to deal with issues in their lives – with four in five also helping friends and family.
Hospital helpers are valuable part of the trust
MORE than 300 people volunteer at Oxfordshire's hospitals – from helping nurses to gardening and manning the help desks.
Oxford University Hospitals voluntary services manager Yvonne Blencowe, above, said: "Our volunteers are an essential part of the trust.
"The contribution and commitment they make each day is greatly appreciated by our patients, visitors and members of staff.
"There are many reasons why people volunteer and we have an extremely diverse group of volunteers including retired people who give up time to help others and meet new people, students who want to train as doctors or nurses, and those who simply want to give something back to the NHS after they or their family have
benefitted from our services."
Jayne Grainger, 70, volunteers at the Churchill Hospital in Headington after she had a large ovarian cyst removed there in 2010.
She now gives up every Friday and alternate Wednesdays to work on the main reception help desk and to garden at the Jane Ashley Ward where she was treated.
Mrs Grainger, who lives in Reading, said: "All the tea in China could not say "thank you" for what they did for me. If I lived nearer I would be here every day."
Age concern
Paul Cann, above, chief executive of Age UK Oxfordshire, said: "With government cuts and less funding available, organisations need an increasing number of volunteers to deliver their services.
"Age UK Oxfordshire currently has over 500 volunteers who are vital to the work that we do throughout the county.
"Volunteering can bring much enjoyment and it can help us to remain active and contribute to society as we get older.
"We are a rapidly ageing population and Oxfordshire is a rural county, where access to transport can be limited.
"Many older people are becoming isolated, which can have a substantial impact on health and wellbeing.
"Giving time within our communities, such as becoming a volunteer driver, joining a befriending service or supporting someone to stay independent at home can make a huge difference to their quality of life."

Research and general acceptance
The Subway diet is the weight-loss plan created by Jared Fogle, an obese college student who weighed 425 pounds (192.7 kilograms). The 22-year-old Fogle lost 245 pounds (111.1 kilograms) in 11 months by following a daily diet that consisted primarily of two low-fat sandwiches purchased at the Subway fast-food chain. After losing 100 pounds (45.4 kilograms), the 6-foot-2 (187.9-centimter) Fogle added walking to his daily routine. His dramatic weight loss led to Fogle's appearances in Subway commercials and his role as a motivational speaker and an advocate in the fight against childhood obesity.
Jared's Fogle's unique diet led to his weight loss and international fame as the star of Subway sandwich commercials. He created the Subway diet in March of 1998.By1999,heweighed 180 pounds (81.6 kilograms). In 2000, he began appearing in Subway TV commercials. His weight loss was illustrated by the image of the slender Fogle holding his pre-diet jeans with the 60-inch (152.4-centimeter) waist. At that time, Fogle weighed 190 pounds (86.1 kilograms). He had maintained that weight as of the spring of 2007 and wore pants with a 34-inch (86.4-centimeter) waist.
The public identified Fogle by his first name or as the "Subway Guy." The Subway diet was one component of Fogle's fame; the public also celebrated his weight loss and his campaign to educate others about the importance of diet and exercise. Fogle drew upon his life experiences when speaking about those issues to the media, on talk shows, and in presentations to schools and other groups.
Progressive weight gain
Physically, Fogle's ankles and wrists had swelled with edema. His blood pressure was high, and his sleep was interrupted by apnea. Overweight people are at risk of sleep apnea, a condition where blockage causes the person to repeatedly stop breathing. Fogle realized it was time to start dieting, and he described those efforts in his 2006 book, Jared, the Subway Guy: Winning Through Losing: 13 Lessons for Turning Your Life Around.
Deciding to diet
Fogle decided to lose weight during his junior year of college. He had moved out of the dorm and into an apartment located next to a Subway shop. While the shop was close to home, Fogle tried three other diets before creating the Subway diet. His first diet limited calories to 1,800 per day and involved extensive food preparation. The preparation was time-consuming, and he ended the diet. Next Fogle went to the store and stocked up on low-calorie and diet frozen meals. He disliked the taste of the microwaved meals and embarked on another diet. This one involved drinking diet shakes for breakfast and lunch and eating a sensible meal for dinner. Fogle thought the shakes tasted terrible. He abandoned that diet but was determined to lose weight. He researched and rejected what he called "one-size-fits-all" diets.
As spring break approached, Fogle found inspiration in Subway's "Seven Under 6 Grams of Fat" menu, a selection of seven low-fat sandwiches. In March of 1998, Fogle developed a weight loss plan that consisting basically of eating two sandwiches each day. Once he shed 100 pounds (45.4 kilograms) on his customized diet, Fogle started walking to school. He eventually established a routine of walking 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) each day.
By the following spring, Fogle had shed more than half of his original weight. Fame came when he encountered Ryan Coleman, a college friend who hadn't seen him in some time. Coleman was astounded about Fogle's weight loss and wrote about it for the college newspaper in April of 1999. Organizations including the Associated Press ran the story, and Men's Health magazine included Fogle's story under the heading "Crazy Diets That Work." That led to a

call from the agency that did the advertising for Subway.
Fogle described his weight-loss plan in the Subway commercials, saying that he ate two low-fat sandwiches and walked. The commercials highlighted his success. However, Subway did not endorse what the chain labeled the "Jared Diet," according to a December 2000 Subway news release. The chain's promotions emphasized its low-fat offerings and urged the public to exercise.
People motivated by Fogle called Subway, initially wanting to know more about his weight-loss plan. The chain also heard from hundreds of people who said they lost weight following their own versions of Fogle's diet. In 2001, five of those "Inspired by Jared" people appeared with him in commercials. By 2002, Subway had received more than 1,000 calls and letters from people. They told the chain that Fogle's story gave them hope; some people said they lost weight on his diet. Subway identified them as "Friends of Jared." Some of those people appeared in commercials, and Subway carried their stories on its website in 2007.
Meanwhile, Fogle continued to promote Subway and to speak about the importance of diet and exercise. In 2004, he created The Jared Foundation. The nonprofit foundation based in Indiana had the goal of tackling childhood obesity. The foundation's objectives were to:
- Bring awareness and support initiatives that address the wide-spread epidemic of childhood obesity.
- Provide easy-to-use tools that encourage children and support parents, caregivers, schools and community organizations.
- Provide grants to organizations that are focused on fostering sustainable nutrition and exercise programs.
- Form strategic alliances with key organizations to advance the understanding and application of programs that address childhood obesity.
Jared Fogle developed a diet that amounted to approximately 1,000 calories per day. As a college student, he usually ate before his first class, which was scheduled for noon or 1 p.m. Fogle said in interviews that he ate little or no breakfast. He sometimes breakfasted on a bowl of cereal with skim milk or a piece of fruit. Otherwise, a Subway sandwich was his first meal of the day. He sometimes snacked on a piece of fruit and took a daily multivitamin. His daily diet, according to his book, Jared, the Subway Guy: Winning Through Losing: 13 Lessons for Turning Your Life Around, consisted of:
- Breakfast of coffee.
- Lunch of a Subway 6-inch turkey sub, a diet soda, and small bag of baked potato chips or pretzels.
- Dinner of a Subway foot-long Veggie Delite sandwich, a diet soda, and small bag of baked potato chips or pretzels.
Fogle ordered sandwiches filled with lettuce, green peppers, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, and pickles. Fogle omitted cheese and condiments that contained fat like mayonnaise and oil. Instead, he used condiments like spicy mustard or vinegar. He alternated ordering the sandwiches on wheat or white bread, the choices that Subway offered at the time.
The sandwiches that Fogle ate were on Subway's "Seven Under 6 Grams of Fat," menu. In the spring of 2007, that list of subs consisted of a ham sandwich, roasted chicken breast, subway club, sweet onion chicken teriyaki, turkey breast, turkey breast and ham, and the Veggie Delite.
Nutritional information
Sandwiches were served on wheat bread and contained lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, pickles, and olives. According to the Subway 2007 "Nutritional Guide," the 6-inch turkey breast sub was 280 calories and had 4.5 grams of total fat and 4 grams of dietary fiber. The Veggie Delite sandwich was 230 calories for a 6-inch sandwich. The half-foot sub had 3 grams of total fat and 4 grams of fiber. The 6-inch sandwich provided two servings of vegetables, and the footlong sub contained twice that amount. According to the nutritional guide, Subway based those portions on amounts designated by the National Cancer Institute.
The guide published in 2007 described the nutritional content of all Subway sandwiches and offerings that included salads, fruit, chips, and cookies. Fogle ate baked potato chips. The 1.125-ounce bag of Baked! Lay's potato chips had 130 calories and 1.5 grams of fat, according to the guide. A similar sized bag of Rold Gold Classic Tiny Twist pretzels had 110 calories and I gram of fat. Fogle drank Diet Coke, which had no calories.
Subway's guide also included information about Fresh Fit meals for children and adults. The adult version consisted of a low-fat 6-inch sub, a bag of baked chips, apple or raisins and 1% low-fat white milk, water, or a diet drink. The Fresh Fit for Kids meal consisted of a min-sub, a fruit juice box or 1% low-fat milk, and a bag of apples or raisins.
Subway cautioned in the guide that Fresh Fit options should not be considered a diet program. The sandwich chain and Fogle acknowledged that a nutritionally balanced diet and exercise were important components of a healthy lifestyle.
Exercise and weight maintenance
Fogle began walking when he was physically able to do so. He started with walking to class and then began walking to do errands and around the large Indiana University campus. He added more exercise through activities like taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Fogle advised prospective dieters to find an activity that they enjoyed. He liked walking, and regularly walked 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers). After reaching his goal weight, Fogle continued to walk and also participated in activities like the Heart Walk, an American Heart Association fundraiser.
The Subway diet was created by an obese man who was motivated to lose weight. After rejecting traditional diets, Jared Fogle developed a weight-loss plan based on the low-fat menu at the Subway sandwich shop. The low-fat subs were also low-calorie, and Fogle came up with his own version of portion control. The man who once ate an entire pizza limited himself to two sandwiches a day. While his plan was very restrictive, Fogle demonstrated that people who ate at fast-food restaurants could make healthy choices.
The benefits of the Subway diet start with convenience. The dieter buys prepared food, knowing that is low in fat and calories. Subway provides nutritional information, and the dieter doesn't need to purchase, clean, and cut vegetables. The weight-loss plan is based on portion control, and the dieter eats vegetables, bread, and turkey. Lean meats like poultry, vegetables, and grains like are among the recommended foods in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The federal guidelines also advocate physical activityas an important component of shedding pounds and maintaining a healthy weight. Jared Fogle's weight-loss plan included exercise. He created the diet because he liked fast food and enjoyed eating bread. On his diet, he didn't have to give up either.
Fogle also advised people to consult with a doctor and a dietitian before starting a diet. He said in interviews that he discussed his weight-loss plan with a dietitian. In addition, Fogle's health was monitored by his physician father. Several times during the diet, Jared received a full check-up and blood work was done.
The Subway diet provided 980 calories based on the consumption of a six-inch turkey sub, a footlong Veggie Delite, a bag of baked potato chips, and a bag of pretzels. This is below the daily limit of 1,200 calories
prescribed for dieters by the medical community. A person who consumes less than 1,200 calories per day could miss out on nutrients like iron, calcium, and protein. In addition, the calorie restriction could cause the dieter's metabolism to slow.
Jared Fogle was obese, and his diet was medically supervised. His food choices included lean meat and vegetables. However, a diet based on the repeated consumption of only certain foods could also lead to vitamin and/or mineral deficiency.
Popular weight-loss plans like the Subway diet are evaluated in terms of scientific principles about nutrition. The evaluation takes into account factors such as the types of foods on the diet, whether foods are restricted, and total calorie content. Standard for evaluating food choices on diets include the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005. The federal guidelines recommended that people consume a variety of foods within each of the five food groups: fruits, vegetables, calcium-rich foods like milk and cheese, grains, and proteins.
Another issue of the diet was that Fogle skipped breakfast. The morning meal provides energy for the day. Eating a healthy breakfast helps children to concentrate in school, according to the American Dietetic Association. Research indicates that the morning meal may also help adults concentrate. In addition, dieters who skip breakfast may later become hungry and overeat.
Furthermore, the Subway website in 2007 contained a caution in the section about the "Friends of Jared." Subway noted that the weight losses depicted on the site were the result of exercise and a balanced, reduced-calorie diet that included the low-fat sandwiches. Results weren't typical, according to the notice, and people were advised to consult their physicians before starting a weight-loss plan.
Fogle acknowledged the deficiencies of his weight-loss plan. However, the plan helped him shed hundreds of pounds, weight that he managed to keep off through a combination of eating in moderation and exercising.
Moreover, a public-health advocacy group in 2002 praised the Subway chain and Fogle for having "helped lead the way to healthier fast food." That commendation came from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which rated Subway's low-fat subs as among the nation's best fast foods. CSPI's goals include advocating for nutrition and health.
General acceptance
The Subway diet was popular for a time when Fogle's commercials aired during the early 2000s. The Subway website in 2007 carried information about 15 "Friends of Jared," people who incorporated Subway sandwiches and exercise into their weight-loss regimens.
After Fogle's weight loss, he continued to represent Subway as an advocate of a healthy diet and exercise. He made about 200 public appearances annually, a schedule that continued in 2007. His message to people, particularly school children, was to avoid the pitfalls that caused childhood obesity. Fogle's story and oversized jeans illustrated the factors contributing to the obesity epidemic.
According to the CDC, the prevalence of obesity in people between the ages of 20 and 74 increased from 15% during 1976 through 1980 to 32.9% in the time from 2003 to 2004. The prevalence in younger overweight Americans during those years also rose during that time from:
- 5% to 13.9% for children aged 2 to 5 years.
- 6.5% to 18.8% for those aged 6-11 years.
- 5% to 17.4% for youths ages 12-19 years.
CDC attributed the weight increase to factors such as poor eating habits and lack of physical activity. While Fogle's biography provided a perspective on a growing trend, his story also demonstrated that people could successfully lose weight and keep it off.

The Communist Party's Reform Punt
By Russell Leigh Moses
Faced with a chance to be decisive, Chinese leaders opted for default-plus. This was a transition, not a transformation---a switchover instead of something that might have been earth-shaking.
There's a decidedly conservative cast to the Communist Party Politburo Standing Committee unveiled Thursday in Beijing. The candidates that might have carried reform further—people such as Organization Department head Li Yuanchao and Guangdong Party chief Wang Yang—did not win spots in the Party's preeminent decision-making body. Political restructuring is clearly on hold: Those arguing for an expansion of the Communist Party's role—from the economy to culture, and a good deal in-between—won their places and the present day.
But like everything in Chinese politics these days, it's complicated. In a move with the potential implications for where the Party goes next, former Party chief Hu Jintao resigned as Chairman of the important Central Military Commission—a break with precedent established by previous leaders Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin.
It was probably uneasiness that compelled the Party to continue to keep Chinese politics safe from real reform. The Bo Xilai scandal and an unsteady economy combined with uncertain signals from the top about the actual political direction pretty much ensured steadiness would rule.
New leader Xi Jinping's made a point in his first speech as head of the Communist Party to express concern for the lives and needs of regular Chinese people – a sign that he wants the Party to pay more attention to a public unhappy with the current state of governance where education, healthcare and the environment is concerned. The disgruntled in society are going to be heard more often and louder than the disadvantaged.
At the same time, there was a lot in Xi's address that indicated that the Party doesn't have to be bolder, just better. The self-congratulations about the "courage, bravery, and wisdom of the great Chinese people" betray a sense of contentment about what Beijing has already accomplished.
In another sign of reluctance, the larger Politburo remained at its previous size of 25, disappointing those who had hoped for an expansion of democracy within the party. Nearly half of the cohort were the same faces, and they're likely to go through the same paces.
What's especially interesting is Hu's abrupt departure from the Central Millitary Commission, leaving the seat to Xi instead of holding on tight. Jiang Zemin's refusal to give up the same post 10 years ago was controversial, and undermined Hu's attempts to consolidate power. With Hu stepping down, Xi will have less to worry about in terms of political challenges. But it also makes Xi and his allies immediately responsible for forging the sort of modernization that will keep the military in line.
We finally know who will lead the Party and the nation for the next few years. The question is whether the cautious and the conservative approach is going to be enough to meet the challenges that Hu left behind, and to convince those who wanted more reform to go quiet.
Russell Leigh Moses is the Dean of Academics and Faculty at The Beijing Center for Chinese Studies. He is writing a book on the changing role of power in the Chinese political system.

We've recently finished the last few finishing touches on our laundry room (started years ago, but better late than never!) – beadboard molding, floor molding, and cabinet brackets.
I still need to paint everything- including the cabinet- to match the painted beadboard. With our track record, I didn't think I should wait to do a bit of cleaning and organizing, though.
Especially because it started out looking like this:
Just a bit cluttered.
About 10 minutes later, though, it's a marked improvement.
The cupboard, though, needed a bit more time and energy.
I should probably mention that this room is also a mud/garden room – and that this cupboard has been a catch-all. We've installed a set of shelves on the other side of the room for gardening items, so this cupboard can now be organized solely for the laundry.
Since this is behind doors, I didn't worry about lots of pretty baskets and such. I used what I had on hand and when I did use containers and labels, it was to serve a purpose and make it easy for my family to find items in here (and put them back in the right place!).
Which is probably why to took only 20 minutes to clean and reorganize this cabinet. Sure wish I would've done it sooner.
Rags, cleaning towels and microfiber cloths each have a container and label. I even specify which rags are "throw-away" so when there's a particular need, there's no question about which to use.
Yeah, I learned this the hard way- losing a couple of my favorite towels. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but worth adding a couple of specific containers, for sure.
Laundry, cleaning supplies, and essential oils are easy to reach and find, too.
It sure looks nicer from the hallway – clean and simplified.
Do you have an area – in the laundry or anywhere – that could use a quick 30 minute spruce-up?
Or maybe it's just me. *smile*
