The restaurant has a simple but interesting decor. I especially liked the look of wood on the floors and ceilings.
Caramelized Diver Scallops with Cauliflower Puree, Almonds, Balsamic Reduction, appetizer portion: $14. Such a stunning dish. The scallops were perfectly cooked and had just the right texture to them. The cauliflower puree and balsamic reduction were also done very well and wonderful complements to the scallops.
Glazed Pork Belly with apple puree, burdock, soy caramel, $13. There were such great reviews of this on Yelp, but we were both disappointed by it. It tasted a bit too salty to me, and it didn't stand out against the other pork belly dishes served at standard Chinese restaurants.
Crisp Duck Confit with lentils, foie gras meatballs, crispy spaetzle, $24. The texture of the duck was definitely comparable to carnitas; so amazingly tender and flavorful. I also liked how the meat was served without the bone. It made the dish very easy to split and eat. I couldn't really taste the foie gras in the meatballs, but I was so pleased with the duck that it didn't matter too much.

Arizona Game and Fish Dept.
This orphaned black bear cub was found inside a home in southeast Arizona on Thursday.
A hungry, orphaned black bear cub that entered an Arizona home -- eating chocolate cake before being discovered by the awakened homeowners -- has been sent to a local zoo, according to wildlife officials who called 2012 a "difficult" one for southeast Arizona bears due to wildfires and drought.
Arizona Game and Fish Department officers on Thursday responded to a call of a black bear inside a home in the Sonoita area, the agency said in a statement.
"Homeowners awoke to find a bear cub had entered their home through an open kitchen window and eaten some chocolate cake," the agency stated. "Since there was no sign of an adult bear in the area, Game and Fish removed the cub and transferred the orphaned bear to the Heritage Park Zoo in Prescott."
Since the cub is too young to fend for itself in the wild, it's expected to become part of a future zoo exhibit.
"This year has proved difficult for bears in southeastern Arizona," the agency added. "The combination of last year's fires and ongoing drought has resulted in a scarcity of natural food sources."
The agency posted a photo of the bear cub on its Facebook page, along with a warning. "Remember: Bears have an incredibly keen sense of smell even from long distances and human food is very attractive to them!" it said.
Arizona has an estimated 2,500 black bears, the only bear species found in the state.
TODAY's Natalie Morales takes a look at a video from Colorado where a woman yelled at a black bear who had wandered onto her back porch – and actually scared off the enormous animal.

CHICAGO — One is a healthy first-grader, the other an honors college student majoring in psychology. Once the tiniest babies ever born, both girls are thriving, despite long odds when they entered the world weighing less than a pound.
A medical report from the doctor who resuscitated the infants at a suburban Chicago hospital is both a success story and a cautionary tale. These two are the exceptions and their remarkable health years later should not raise false hope: Most babies this small do poorly and many do not survive even with advanced medical care.
"These are such extreme cases," said Dr. John Muraskas of Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Ill. They should not be considered "a benchmark" to mean that doctors should try to save all babies so small, he said.
The report involves Madeline Mann, born in 1989 weighing 9.9 ounces, then the world record; and 7-year-old Rumaisa Rahman, whose 9.2-ounce birth weight remains the world's tiniest. Two other babies born since 1989 weighed less than Madeline and a German girl born was born last year at her same birth weight.
Despite her extraordinary birth, Madeline, the college senior, says she rarely thinks about it, preferring instead to focus on her future.
"I'm the pretty normal, tough cookie, nice kinda girl," the 22-year-old wrote in an e-mail, the only way she would answer reporters. "I have normal interests and am a normal person, which I am very lucky to have become with so many things that could have impeded that process."
Rumaisa's family did not respond to requests for interviews.
The report was released online Monday in Pediatrics.
It addresses a question that was hotly debated when Madeline was born 22 years ago, remains hot now — and still has no answer: "What is the real age of viability? No one knows," said Dr. Stephen Welty, neonatology chief at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.
Muraskas and the report's co-authors say most newborn specialists consider babies born after 25 weeks of pregnancy to be viable — likely to survive — and so they should receive medical intervention if necessary to breathe. Younger babies are generally in a "gray zone," where intervention isn't always so clear cut, the report suggests.
In Japan, doctors have lowered that threshold — the gestational age — to 22 weeks. Normal pregnancies last about 40 weeks.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Some U.S. doctors will attempt to save babies at 22 weeks, but that is not done routinely, said Dr. Edward Bell, a University of Iowa pediatrics professor.
Bell runs an online registry of the world's tiniest babies, born weighing less than about 14 ounces, or slightly less than 1 pound. Since 1936, 124 have been listed. The registry is compiled from doctors' voluntary reports and so does not represent all survivors.
Bell estimates that about 7,500 U.S. babies are born each year weighing less than 1 pound, and that about 10 percent survive.
Sometimes tiny babies with zero chance of surviving show signs of life at birth, and may be able to breathe for a short time if put in an incubator and hooked up to a breathing machine and intravenous treatments. "But even so, if it's a baby that doesn't have a chance, we don't want to put the baby and the family through the discomfort," Bell said.
Muraskas says his report highlights a sometimes overlooked fact: gestational age is even more critical for survival than size.
Rumaisa and Madeline were both palm-sized, weighing less than a can of soda pop — the average size of an 18-week-old fetus but they were several weeks older than that. Their gestational ages — almost 26 weeks for Rumaisa and almost 27 weeks for Madeline — meant their lungs and other organs were mature enough to make survival possible.Story: Michelle Duggar, mom of 19, miscarries
But both required intensive medical intervention. They were delivered by cesarean section more than a month early because their mothers had developed severe pre-eclampsia, dangerously high blood pressure linked with pregnancy. Both babies were hooked up immediately to breathing machines with tubes as slender as a spaghetti strand slipped down their tiny airways.
Rumaisa has a twin who was more than twice as big at birth. Few details about her are included in the report.
Before the births, both mothers were given steroid drugs to speed up growth of the babies' immature lungs. Even so, Rumaisa and Madeline were on breathing machines for about two months, and hospitalized for about four months.
Madeline had mild brain bleeding, common in tiny preemies, but with no lasting effects. Severe cases can cause serious mental disabilities. She and Rumaisa got treatment for an eye condition common in preemies called retinopathy, which in severe cases can cause blindness.
Madeline has asthma and remains petite — 4 foot 8 at age 20. Rumaisa at age 5 weighed 33 pounds and was 3 1/2 feet tall, smaller than about 90 percent of kids her age. Current information on Rumaisa's size was not available.
Madeline is a senior at Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill.; Rumaisa is 7 and attends first grade in suburban Chicago.
After years of publicity about her extraordinary birth, Madeline doesn't like to talk about it much any more, says her father, Jim Mann, who lives outside Chicago. In an e-mail, Madeline said the subject rarely comes up.
"I only think about it when we share something unique about ourselves for icebreakers or when people ask about my height," Madeline wrote. "I don't go into specifics about being in the Guiness Book ... I just say I was a very tiny premature baby."More moms who adopt are also trying to breast-feed
Jim Mann said having a baby born so small was "terrifying" at first. But other than asthma, the only lasting effect his daughter has mentioned is having trouble finding age-appropriate clothes because she remains so small, he said.
That she has done so well is a source of pride, and wonder, her dad said.
"I don't know why, we were just extraordinarily lucky," Mann said.

Starvation Mode
Hi, Iâm a RD. I have a client that is in the starvation mode. I know you are supposed to not change the amount of calories consumed but help them to eat differently. I am not sure what this means. I have not had a client like this in the past. Also, I know it will take about 6 months for this client to regain an appetite. The client states that they are not hungry. Iâm out in an area with not a lot of access to information. I hope you can help me to help them. God Bless.
Thank you for your question. Many people think that starving themselves will lead to fast weight loss. A starvation diet does not mean the absence of food. It means cutting the total caloric intake to less than 50% of what the body requires.
The body responds by using its own reserves to provide energy, and these reserves are not just the body's extra fat. Initially, glycogen stores are broken down for energy. Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrate in our body. There is little glycogen available so this energy source is depleted during the first hours of starvation. When glycogen is used, water is released which is noticed as a drop in weight on the scale. These labile stores are quickly replenished when feeding is resumed which is noticed by an increase in weight.
The individual's initial weight when starting a starvation diet will dictate to what extent fat is lost. Those individuals who are not obese (Body Mass Index (BMI) < 30) will tend to lose their lean body mass more easily and quickly than those who are obese (BMI > 30). It is dangerous for these smaller individuals to go on a starvation diet because the lean mass that is lost may come from organs such as the heart. In the 1970's there were several deaths resulting from starvation-type diets. Death is a rare side effect, though.
The more common problem resulting from starvation-type diets is the resultant weight regain. Weight is typically regained because there has not been a change in the lifestyle that led to the original weight gain. When the starvation diet is ended, the individual returns to the same old habits. The scale will indicate the weight regain, but it will not identify the composition of the added weight.
When weight is regained, it is fat. When fat replaces the muscle mass that was lost during starvation, the metabolic rate (the number of calories needed to maintain the current weight) is decreased. The frustrated individual typically initiates another starvation-type diet only to continue this cycle.
To help an individual break this cycle, begin with a diet history, and help the client make some small changes. The goal should be 4 – 6 small meals/snacks that result in a balanced intake. Also get the patient started exercising. Weight training will be important for rebuilding the lost muscle mass. Increasing muscle mass and increasing aerobic exercise will help increase the appetite appropriately.
Don't forget to help the client identify a realistic weight loss goal. That goal should never exceed 10% of initial weight in a six-month period. After six months, the client should try to maintain the loss for a few months before considering further weight loss.

Walker doesn't name donors to legal fund
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker continues to keep secret the names of donors who contributed to his legal defense fund.
Walker's latest statement of economic interests filed with the Government Accountability Board this week does not name donors whose contributions went toward the $447,000 defense fund. He does name other donations he received last year, including cuff links from Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and a bottle of wine from Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell.
Walker set up the defense fund to pay for costs associated with a criminal investigation into his former aides and associates. The probe ended without any charges against Walker.
Wisconsin Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate says Walker should be transparent and name the donors.
But GAB spokesman Reid Magney says the governor is not required to name them.

Kill Bill bloodbaths notwithstanding, ex-assassins with traditional sword training do not wander the streets looking for vengeance IRL. Still, this interview with one of Japan's 30 last-remaining sword craftsmen is totally inspirational.
Maybe sword craft is somewhat outdated, but Korehira Watanabe's dedication is timeless. The craftsman defied the wishes of his family and has been completely immersed in the art of making swords in the style of the Koto-period (794-1333) for 40 years. In the video he says that it's only in the last five years that he's really succeeded. That's some devoted craftsmanship, and it won't die off if Wantanabe has anything to say about it: he's training a disciple to carry on the legacy after he's gone. [Etsy via The Daily What]

This archive contains all documents published by cep over the last few years:
cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
As a reaction to serious tension on the financial market, on 21. July 2011, the heads of states and governments of the euro zone decided to amend the existing EFSF. The objective of the amendments is to increase the operative volume of the EFSF and to provide it with new legal instruments.
The main causes of the Euro crisis lie in the irresponsible indebtedness policy of the affected Euro states and in the real economy structures which threaten not only the creditworthiness of those states but of entire economies.
The MFF sets the legally binding ceilings for the annual budgets in advance and thus serves to maintain the budgetary discipline and the transparency of the budgetary procedure. The Commission proposes an EU financial volume to the amount of 1.11% of GNI (1,083 bn Euro). It is to consist of the actual MFF to the amount of 1.05% of GNI (1,025 bn Euro) and ), and further "possible" expenditures outside the MFF to the amount of 0.06% of GNI (58 bn Euro) which are increased compared to the volume of 2007-2013.
The Commission proposes a Regulation in order to reform the legal framework for European standardisation to establish an efficient and technically up-to-date European standardisation system. European standardisation means defining technical and quality-related specifications through recognised European standardisation bodies. The legal framework is to be extended to services.
The Commission proposes new price limits for calls, SMS and data communications services within a foreign EU Member State. These will be gradually reduced until 2014. Service providers are to receive access to networks of mobile network operators in other EU states to offer mobile communications services. Mobile users of roaming services may switch from their roaming provider to an alternative provider "at any moment".
The Commission proposes a Directive obliging both the public purse and companies to take efficiency-related measures. For instance, to annually renovate 3% of public buildings in an energy-efficient manner. Energy supply companies are be held statutorily liable for energy savings of their customers of 1.5%.
The Commission wishes to revise the Directive on the recognition of professional qualifications. In the present Green Paper, it presents its concept. The Commission is mainly focusing on the introduction of a European professional card in which the countries of origin certify that all requirements for exercising a certain profession in a host country have been met. The procedure is to be carried out electronically.
By means of modern information and communication technologies (ICT) "smart grids" are to coordinate the behaviour of all grid users in order to ensure an economically efficient power system. The Commission wishes to draw up "appropriate measures" to expedite the set-up of such grids by the end of 2011.

Rather than trying to concoct some specious sociological explanation for the existence of this compilation of alt. rock Fleetwood Mac covers, let's be clear that indie's only fractionally ironic love affair with the AOR legends is long lasting and well documented. The Smashing Pumpkins scored a hefty radio hit with a cover of 'Landslide' back at the height of grunge; and for reasons I've never quite understood, cow-punk deities Camper Van Beethoven once released a track-for-track cover of the Mac's 1979 double album Tusk.
I guess the crux of it is that most right-minded musicians would accept any and all of the later Mac's emotional dysfunction for the sake of writing pretty much anything as good as the songs off Fleetwood Mac, Rumours and Tusk. Despite the band's ludicrously convoluted history and the fact that they're probably some of the last people in the world you'd want to go to the pub with, those records don't sound naff or dated or like they were made by coked up multimillionaire musos. Bung on one of the aforementioned and then try and listen to an Eagles record afterwards and you'll see what I mean.
So anyway, an indie rock Fleetwood Mac covers album is almost certainly a thing that could have reasonably been made at any point in the last three decades. That Just Tell Me That You Want Me happens to have appeared in 2012 is down to the efforts of one Randall Poster, the musical supervisor on Wes Anderson's films, and Gelya Robb, who seems to be some sort of hipster sidekick of his. I'm not sure 'vanity project' is quite the right term here, but presumably in paying the bands and giving all the royalties away to Nicks, Buckingham, Green et al, there is zero chance of Poster and Robb making a profit on this. Still, they did the same thing for Buddy Holly with last year's Buddy Holly Rave On compilation; maybe we'll get another next year!
So yes, anyway: ever wanted to hear a New Pornographers power pop cover of Tusk's 'Think About Me'? Or an over-faithful Lee Ranaldo Band and J Mascis take on 'Albatross'? Yeah, I'm not sure I did either, and that's kind of the problem with this collection: without any guiding principal beyond 'some bands playing some Fleetwood Mac songs in their own style', it lacks direction, coming across as more of an introduction to the performers than the songs. I mean, sure, getting MGMT to contribute an interminable vocoder cover of 'Future Games' is a great wheeze, but it's profoundly unlikely to fire anyone up about the original.
It's at by far its strongest when it gives us fairly straightforward covers of Stevie Nicks songs that showcase a nice pair of pipes on the performer. Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's fragile take on Tusk's Storms is a gorgeous country whisper. Antony's cover of 'Landslide' is utterly mesmeric: he doesn't monkey with the music in the slightest, but it's just a treat to hear a voice as desolate and unique as his follow in Nicks' wake. Lykke Li's percussive 'Silver Springs' has a thundering, ice-queen majesty. And Marianne Faithful's primordial croak meshes with a superb band for a luminous, worldly wise 'Angel'. Even slightly pedestrian takes on 'Gold Dust Woman' (Karen Elson), 'Rihannon' (Best Coast) and 'Dreams' (The Kills) fail to in any way shroud the class of the original songs.
That ten of the 17 tracks here are by Nicks is perhaps predictable: her otherworldly vocals and witchy lyrical concerns translate better into the indie aesthetic than stuff by the band's other songwriters and she was, y'know, the cool one. And clearly indie rock musicians were never going to go mental for the band's early music. Nonetheless, Lindsay Buckingham feels spectacularly hard done by - only two of his songs feature, which is basically mental. It all adds to the feeling that there's no particular point or guiding aesthetic here. Which is clearly overthinking things, but nonetheless it's pretty rudderless stuff coming from the man who brought us the soundtracks to The Life Aquatic and I'm Not There.
Still, if Christine McVie (one song) feels even harder done by, at least there's no bloody 'Daddy'.

Panamanian specialty coffee smashes world price record
Posted by TheShot on 01 Jun 2006 | Tagged as: Beans
Canada's The Globe & Mail reported today that a Panamanian coffee, a little-known Coffea Arabica cultivar called Geisha, received a world record auction price at $50.25 a pound (and this is for unroasted green beans, folks): globeandmail.com : Panamanian specialty coffee smashes world price record. A lot of this year's Geisha rated at 94.6 pts on a 100-point coffee tasters scale.
Geisha coffee has an Ethiopian heritage — even though most Ethiopians have never heard of it. It was first brought to Panama from Costa Rica in 1963. By several accounts, Panamanian Geisha (and Daniel Price Peterson's Hacienda Esmeralda in particular) has been regarded as the world's best coffee for several years running.
For those privileged enough to taste it (I have not), it apparently has an amazing level of character and immense brightness/acidity. It undoubtedly exhibits flavors most coffee drinkers have never tasted before.
Last year's crop fetched a then-record $20.10 per pound, but now $50.25? And on the heel's of a $49.75/lb Brazilian Cup of Excellence? How long before we start hearing rumors of the high-end specialty coffee bubble?

Kazmir excited to face ex-teammates in first start
OAKLAND -- When Scott Kazmir began his comeback bid with the Indians last season, following a two-year layoff from the Majors, the lefty had few weapons in his pocket. He simply got by on his fastball.
Not anymore. Oakland's new southpaw will take a slew of secondary pitches to the mound for his A's debut Tuesday, which just so happens to come against his former Tribe club.
"I went into my last spring start throwing all of my pitches and having success with them," Kazmir said Monday. "I'm more confident knowing I have a lot more pitches that I now feel comfortable with."
Kazmir dined with a handful of ex-teammates Sunday night, including Nick Swisher, and fully expects them to mess with him come Tuesday. But Oakland's $22 million offseason prize isn't budging.
"They know me. I know them," said Kazmir, 10-9 with a 4.04 ERA in 29 starts for Cleveland last year. "It's more of a cat-and-mouse game now. They know my tendencies, and for the most part, I know their tendencies. It's going to be a game of adjustments, I think. It's going to be fun out there, for sure. I know they're going to try to get to me while I'm up on the mound, try to take away from my focus, but I'll just be locked in. I can't even stare at them because they're a bunch of jokesters over there."
Kazmir sees a similar group in the A's clubhouse, albeit much younger collectively. He's considered one of the elder members at age 30 and has been assigned veteran Bartolo Colon's old locker in Oakland's home clubhouse.
It's where he always envisioned landing at some point.
"Pretty much my whole career facing the A's, it was a team I admired," he said. "I loved the way they went about their business, and I love the way they play the game. It's something that's an honor to play for a team like that."
The Indians kept close watch on Kazmir's workload last year and got 158 innings out of him. The reins will be looser this year.
"Getting that bulk of innings," he said, "I see myself making a big jump from that and being comfortable doing that throughout the entire year."

Recently I am working with SQLite. Like many of you do, I sometimes need to insert large amount of data to the database. There may be thousands, or even more, of records waiting for you. Inserting them to a SQLite database could be a nightmare that it would work like forever. Asking Google about this you will be probably instructed to fine tune the SQLite parameters. Yes, this is one way but if you are not doing this too frequently, I may have another, somehow dirty, suggestion for you.
Here is what I did:
- Somehow you prepared the insert statements in text file (e.g. insert.sql). I got it from my colleague who dumped the whole database with tons of records into SQL format using the .dump command.
- Use sqlite3.exe to load your database, to which the data is inserting:
C:\> sqlite3.exe mydb.db
- Backup the database using the .backup command into a file (e.g. original.db):
sqlite> .backup original.db
- If the target tables are not empty, dump them into SQL format using the .dump command too (e.g. data.sql). Better dump other related tables if you have set certain kinds of constrains (e.g. foreign key) too. Then you may quit the utility:
sqlite> .output data.sql
sqlite> .dump table1 tabe2
sqlite> .output stdout
- Run sqlite3.exe again without specifying the database file, so that a memory database will be used:
C:\> sqlite3.exe
- Restore from your database backup (original.db in the example) using .restore command:
sqlite> .restore original.db
- If you have done step 4, drop those target tables (and related ones). Load and execute the table data backup with .read command:
sqlite> DROP TABLE1;
sqlite> DROP TABLE2;
sqlite> .read data.sql
- Now load and execute the insert statements with .read command. Hey, don't plan to go for tea, it will finish shortly:
sqlite> .read insert.sql
- Backup the database using the .backup command:
sqlite> .backup new.db
- Now you can use to restore the backup to anywhere you like. I restored to a new database file and then replaced my existing one.
BTW, later I found out that it may be related to the transactions. Making the whole batch as a single transaction may help as suggested in the FAQ. Journal file may also take some time . So temporarily turning off the journal with the PRAGMA journal_mode = OFF; statement before inserting might actually help too. I didn't verified these... Feel free to try it out :p

Recently, my editor downloaded a cycling app called Ride the City, which maps urban cycling routes for you based upon road safety. As an early adopter, he was able to get this (reportedly excellent) app for free. When a recent update featuring a slew of new capabilities bumped the price of Ride the City up to $2, Eliot was grandfathered in to the new version, receiving all of the app's new features without paying an extra dime.
It started us thinking. App prices fluctuate all the time. How might one take advantage of that to score the best deals on the app stores?
The first thing to understand: Time is your friend on this bargain hunt. Keep an eye out for recently-released apps. Developers will often release an app at a lower-than-usual price with hopes of getting it to chart in the "most popular" sections of the various app stores, only to jack up the price once they've got enough eyeballs on the product.
When synthesizer giant Moog released its full-featured Animoog iPad synthesizer, it cost only $1. A month later, that price skyrocketed to $30. (A less dramatic price jump happened with the iPhone, which went from $1 to $10 after its initial release). Another example: Music ID app SoundHound began as a single, free version before a series of price increases over a two-year period landed it at its current $7 asking price. (A separate free version was spun off a year after the first price increase.)
iMaschine was $2 and is now $5; Filtatron was $5, now $8; Shazam Encore was $3, now $6; I Am T-Pain was $1, now $3; and LaDiDa was $1, now $3. The list goes on.
At this point, you might ask yourself, "Wow! This is great news. I can get all the coolest music apps for cheap, so long as I get to them soon enough. But I don't have enough time to be constantly scouring the app stores for new product. What do I do?"
We would say this, but a good place for music fans to start is here at Evolver.fm. Our This Week In Music Apps feature seeks to bring you the best in new and relatively unnoticed music apps, while our reviews offer even more in-depth coverage about whether a given app is worth your time and money — and in both cases, we're typically on the scene before the developer has had a chance to raise the price. For the most up-to-the-minute music app releases, check out our still-somewhat-nascent @evolverfm_apps Twitter account, curated by Aarti Kelapure, where we bring you news about the most notable new music apps as they're released.
Too many other resources to list here exist for finding new apps, and they're easy enough to track down, starting with Apple iTunes and Google Play. Wherever you are, if you're looking for bargains, check the New Releases section first.
Sometimes, developers put their apps on sale even when they're not new, looking for another spike in popularity. We try to post some of these price drops here (like we did when these big guns were available at a discounted price). However, bargain hunters would also be advised to check out AppShopper (and its Twitter account); Apple Sliced (and its iOS app, AppsFire); and 148Apps and its @148Apps_nowfree Twitter account, which specifically alerts you when formerly-paid apps become free. Each of these services offers updates whenever a notable app drops in price.
The moral of the story: You don't always need to pay full price for your music or any other apps, so long as you can A) Find them early, or B) Bide your time, until the price dips. Deals abound, so long as you have a keen eye and the right sources. Now, go forth and save.

My good friend Brandy gave birth to her second child – a boy named Trajan, who tipped the scales at 9 lbs. 10 oz.(!!) – yesterday at her home.
Her first son weighed 8 lbs., 13 oz. at birth, and we thought *he* was big.
Both births were completely natural and unmedicated, and Brandy is a big believer in Hypnobirthing. It's also worth mentioning that Brandy is only about 5 ft. 2 in. tall and weighs *maybe* 105 lbs. (if that) when not pregnant.
She is my birth goddess hero.
Congratulations, Brandy! You are an inspiration. And you are woman, hear you roar! 🙂
(By the way, I think this is the last of my pregnant friends to be birthing for a while. You thought the string of births was never going to end, didn't you? 😉

The luxury car ownership lifestyle should not simply be time spent with a fancy vehicle.
Every premium car brand has taken serious measures to create a specific identity to their customer's automotive culture. One-make auto racing series and experiences such as the Ferrari Challenge series has proven popular. Growth as a global luxury car player has meant Audi places deeper focus on emerging markets such as India and China. For the potential vehicle buyers in those countries, the opportunity to present the luxury car world could present an even grander reality. While shopping for used cars in Pune could be a motoring adventure, Audi India introduced something extra special to explore the splendors of quattro all-wheel drive and German engineering.
Since 2008, fans of Audi vehicles in the United States could experience high performance test drives of vehicles like the R8 supercar. Called the Audi Sportscar Experience, the program's goal was to allow Audi owners or potential customers to discover the thrill of high-speed driving. The Audi Sportscar Experience is an opportunity to drive the German luxury car brand's best performance products on international road courses. In the United States, the Audi Sportscar Experience takes place on 2.52-mile Sonoma Raceway about 30 minutes outside of San Francisco. Last year, the Audi Sportscar Experience was introduced to India. Those taking in the Indian edition of the Audi Sportscar Experience will unleash their passion on the Buddh International Circuit. Opened in 2011 as a home for Indian Grand Prix Formula 1 event, the 3.192-mile Buddh International Circuit racecourse is quickly challenged by Audi showroom products.
With almost 400 participants signing into the program in the first year, the Audi Sportscar Experience was exceptionally well received in India. former Formula 1 driver Karun Chandhok, football star Baichung Bhutia and co-driver of Audi's class winning effort at the 24 hours of Nurburgring Aditya Patel were part of the 2012 edition of the Audi Sportscar Experience. "It is always exciting to drive Audi sportscars, and this is a great initiative for enthusiasts. It is a fantastic way for anyone to experience the thrill of circuit driving using refined techniques, and a glimpse of what lies ahead in motorsport", said Chandhok. Audi is restarting their performance driving classes for 2013 with a notable tweak.
For 2013, the Audi Sportscar Experience will prove gentler on the pocketbooks of Indian residents at 30,000 INR (equating to $547.32 in American funds). The 2013 entry fee to the Audi Sportscar Experience is significantly lower than the inaugural year's cost. For the price of admission to the 2013 Audi Sportscar Experience, student drivers are treated to a series of instructed lessons on performance motoring. A variety of four sensuous Audi performance vehicles is on-hand for the 2013 edition of the performance driving school. Audi S4, Audi TT, Audi RS5 and the Audi R8 V10 plus serves as exciting educational tools for learning points of finer performance driving. Ranging from 211-horsepower to 550-horsepower, professional instructors will instil participants with the confidence of slalom and lapping the Buddh International Circuit at maximum speed.
Two phases of the Audi Sportscar Experience is presented. The first phase called the Audi Racetrack Experience introduces drivers to the basic points of performance handling of a vehicle. Instructors will assist drivers in honing the skills with training in sectors of the track. The second level is the Audi Racetrack Experience Advanced teaching drivers about racing lines to clock safe, consistent laps.
Audi stresses event attendance numbers will be limited. The exclusivity of the 2013 Audi Sportscar Experience is done to maximum the time devoted to individual lessons.

We have just uploaded to our website a white paper I've been working on for a while with some colleagues. We wanted to focus on the use of Flash Access for protected streaming. It's available off of our product page, or you can just follow this link.
You'll need to read the actual white paper to get the full story, but here I wanted to comment on how we are extending the term protected streaming to include not just the traditional RTMPE method but also the newer, more flexible and more robust Flash Access.
Although the details of these technologies differ, both can be used to securely stream content online. RTMPE has been widely used to date to create a secure pipe for content; technically, we refer to this as "session protection" because it establishes a unique session key between client and streaming server and basically encrypts all data going over that connection using the session key.
Flash Access, on the other hand, provides "persistent protection", meaning that content is protected once and stays protected wherever it goes. This makes the protected content cache-friendly, allowing the whole file or portions of it to be saved into temporary storage –whether on a CDN's infrastructure or on a user's computer– without compromising the security of the content.
This method of protection is most often associated with a download model. However, Flash Access can be used for both download and streaming. There are some clear benefits to having one single content protection solution that can be used for various distribution models, over different transport protocols and with different monetization options like paywall, rental, etc.
In this new white paper we focus on some of the design features of Flash Access that make it a highly efficient and scalable solution for streaming applications, even those with a large number of simultaneous users. Because a given file is only encrypted once, you save CPU utilization at the time of streaming, and by making smart use of caches and packaging content into small fragments (eg using HTTP Dynamic Streaming)) this can be made to scale. In addition, the advanced architecture and key management for Flash Access allows you to run a stateless license server, which also results in very significant efficiencies.
Happy reading.

The Ultimate Magic spell shadow step seems to be a watered-down version of the classic dimension door. This seems not only redundant, but odd, as shadow step seems weaker and more restricted than dimension door in every way - shorter range, self only, somatic component, only along a path of shadows... Yet they're of the same spell level.
Is this meant as some kind of "poor man's dimension door" for spellcasters barred from conjuration/teleportation? Is it intended primarily for the new Witch class? Or am I missing some advantage that shadow step has over dimension door?

When there's no romance, just call a guy
There were barely any sparkles at all between the two. The guy and his wife had a romantic evening in the garden planned, but you know, it just wasn't working out. So, the husband had to take this decision! Watch as their romantic evening progresses and a surprise unveils. A much younger, hotter, harder guy comes around when it's dark already, and the fun starts. Eating and then pounding away at the wife's hungry snatch, the guy turned the hubby into one happy cuckold! Finally, there were sparkles between the two.
Sometimes old farts are lucky enough to end up marrying a hot trophy wife. They thought they could keep it up, but sorry, not really. So, the geezer asks a younger male to fulfill his wife's needs. This is what Help My Wife is all about, sugar daddies and older husbands watching some random hung stud bang the hell out of their young, needy wives! We got a load of HD video episodes to blow your mind away, so start now!

RE: st: Time Series Poisson

I think the main reason that this procedure is unusual has to do with the origins of time-series. This may be a bit of an overstatement, but most of the time-series users (and probably developers) are macroeconomists who rarely if ever seem to work with non-linear estimators.
Even if I'm wrong about this conjecture, it nevertheless is the case that corrections for serial correlation in count models could be much stronger. My source for this is THE book on count models by Priven and Trevidi (sp?) who claim that corrections for auto-correlation in count models are not well developed. That book was published in the mid 1990s, so perhaps this claim is not true now, but the responses to your initial post suggest that it is still the case.

Thanks again to everyone who has offered suggestions, both on and off
list. I thought there might be no suggestions, and instead I am
feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the articles and ideas that have
been tossed out. Two followup questions:
1. Is there any particular reason that more of the methods in the
suggested articles haven't already been programmed into Stata? Is it
because of lack of demand, or is it because of disagreement over what
is legitimate or what is best?
2. What about the original idea suggested above, using glm with
Newey-West errors? Is it a terrible idea, better than nothing, or not
so bad? It is the one thing I know my student could figure out how to
run in Stata, whereas I am not so sure with all the other ideas that
have been suggested.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
