Broadway—that moldering assemblage of music halls that entertained the laudanum-addled audiences of yesteryear, who were looking to escape plague-stricken rats for a few hours—has at last found its footing as a place where recent popular movies are reborn as song-and-dance-and-commemorative-sweatshirt spectacles, after years of wasting everyone's time with original characters and storylines. The latest movie-to-musical adaptation that is justifying all that quaint "legitimate theater" our grandparents had to put up as an alternative to dying in the streets: Austin Powers, the spy spoof that lives on in the catchphrases and Halloween costumes of men that you work strenuously to avoid in the company break room, and which is now being adapted for the stage by Mike Myers, according to the Post. Myers will reportedly be "heavily involved" in writing what would be an "all-singing, all-dancing" reimagining, though he will not star. ("Even though he has quite a good singing voice," the article adds, suggesting their unnamed "source" is Myers himself, or his mother.)
Rumors surfaced, again, this past summer that Myers had signed a deal to develop a fourth Austin Powers film that he is supposedly currently writing, though there hasn't been any further Austin Powers-related news since then that didn't involve horrific acts of sexual abuse and/or murder. Supposedly Myers will be writing this musical concurrently, should the deal go through to have Austin Powers officially join all the other film-to-stage adaptations of late—including, again, The Goonies, Big Fish, Newsies, the Kevin Kline comedy Dave, Rocky, Ghost, a new version of Carrie, Once, Predator, Moon Over Parador, the Brian "Boz" Bosworth actioner Stone Cold, Jack And Jill, etc., only some of which we totally made up. "Oh behave," New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley wrote sarcastically in a blank Word document, then set it aside to fill in later.

The Other California: "Surely they didn't build it there?" The 2nd biggest disaster in California history
Sometimes choices and judgements are made to save time, to save money. Sometimes choices are made in unfortunate ignorance, in a time when no one could have foreseen or recognized the right choices to be made. Sometimes there is no one there to provide perspective, to provide alternatives. And then people die. Lots of people.
Ask folks what they think was the worst disaster in California history and many will get it right. Upwards of 3,000 people died in the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco, and the event has shaped the psyche and attitude of many people in the state more than a century afterward. And it was brought about by a natural event.
The second worst disaster in the history of the state is far less known. Some might guess another earthquake, like the Long Beach quake of 1933 (115 dead) or the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 (63 dead). Historians might point to the Port Chicago munitions explosion of 1944 (320 dead). Few people are aware that it was the collapse of a dam, and that the collapse was the result of many poor choices. Hindsight is a harsh judge, but many of the mistakes were "before their time" so to speak. The fact that it happened maybe has prevented worse disasters in the intervening years.
Looking at the slide area on the left side of the picture above, it is hard to believe that a 200 foot high dam was anchored there, in the incompetent mica schist. It is hard to believe that the failed slopes in the picture obscure an even deeper and bigger megaslide.
Maybe the most stunning realization is that the schist and the conglomerate are separated by a fault zone. An inactive fault by all appearances, but a fault nonetheless. They built the dam on a mega-landslide, and on a fault zone.
What happened?
As Ron and Randy correctly surmised, Friday's mystery photo was about the destruction of the St. Francis Dam in 1928. I consider it one of the most important geological events ever to happen in the state, not because a great many people died, but because they died as a result of a disregard or lack of knowledge concerning human construction projects and the geological foundations on which they are built. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are inevitable geologic events, but the events of 1928 were completely avoidable.
In the early twentieth century, Los Angeles was at a crossroads. The city was growing fast, and the water needs of the metropolis far exceeded locally available supplies (according to city officials anyway). The story of how the city stole (legally stole, but stolen nonetheless) the water from underneath the people of the Owens Valley is a legend of California history. The fact that much of the water went to irrigation in the San Fernando Valley instead of the city just added to the scandal. Having completed the Owens Valley Aqueduct, one of the largest public waterworks ever conceived, the city needed someplace to store the water locally, especially in preparation for drought conditions. William Mulholland, the superintendent of the predecessor to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, oversaw the design and construction of a series of reservoirs around the Los Angeles Basin. Nine were constructed, and St. Francis Dam in San Francisquito Canyon above the Santa Clarita Valley was the largest, with a storage capacity of 38,000 acre feet. The dam itself was about 200 feet high, and just over 600 feet across. It was a concrete gravity-arch dam, one that depended on the nature of the rock in the abutments to maintain stability.
Construction was begun in 1924 and complete in 1926. During the construction Mulholland directed that the dam be made 20 feet higher than in the original plans, but he made no alterations at the base to compensate for the additional weight of the water. The filling of the dam took another two years, and was complete on March 7, 1928. On the morning of March 12, the dam keeper noted a leak of muddy water and alerted Mulholland. Small leaks of clear water from dams are usually expected; muddy leaks from a dam are very bad. Mulholland declared that the mud was from some recent road construction and that the dam was safe. 12 hours later, the dam keeper was dead, the first victim of the collapse of the St. Francis Dam. In the hours that followed at least 600 more lives were lost.
To his credit, Mulholland took the blame for the disaster. Although he was never convicted of any crime in the matter, his career was over. He died seven years later.
reassessment of the failure by J. David Rogers finds multiple causes for the disaster, with the reactivation of the ancient landslide being the most important factor, along with hydraulic lifting of the dam which was caused by water pressing against the topmost part of the dam (which had been made higher without compensating at the base). Rogers lists many other deficiencies, including the weakness of the rocks in the dam abutments (I refer interested readers to this very fascinating pdf by Rogers that provides a blow-by-blow analysis of failure of the dam and a great deal of background information on the disaster).
Incredibly, despite the total evisceration of the dam, the central part remained standing, a 200 foot high monument to the destruction. After a sightseer fell off the top (his "friends" had tossed a rattlesnake at him), the city quarried holes in the base, filled them with five tons of dynamite, and blew up the remaining tower. Other blocks were also destroyed, as if they were trying to erase all memory of the event. One of the blocks was the "outcrop" I used in the Friday mystery photo.
photo archive from which I have gathered these photographs of the aftermath. In the photograph below, the fault line dividing the Vasquez Conglomerate from the Pelona Schist can be clearly seen (the lighter Pelona in the foreground, the dark Vasquez on upper ridge). The fault is inactive, and no earthquakes are implicated in the failure, but had the dam not failed, rising water pressure along the fault could conceivably have eventually caused renewed quake activity. The phenomenon has been noted elsewhere.
It would not be at all correct to say that we learned every possible lesson in dam construction. The 1963 tragedy at Vaiont Reservoir in Italy and the 1975 collapse of the Teton Reservoir, Idaho are vivid examples of unlearned lessons.
Hindsight is harsh. But it can be a teacher, too.

There's even a song about the disaster: "St. Francis Dam Disaster", by Frank Black and the Catholics. It's actually a catchy tune, and tells the story of the flood pretty accurately.

Lyrics to St. Francis Dam Disaster by Frank Black
There was a well known water master man
He was the king
He could do anything
The Saint Francis Dam disaster man
Thought she was all right
Until around midnight
Because that water seeks her own
She had a desire to flow
She was looking for somewhere to go
She was a slave to the great metropolis
She was feeling choked
She pushed the wall till it broke
When they heard
The great apocalypse
At power house number two
Well there was nothing they could do
Because that water seeks her own
Five and one half hours she would flow
She had fifty-three miles to go
A cascade down to Santa Clara way
Near sixty feet high
Now she's a mile wide
It was clear she was going far away
And whole towns were too
A few got lucky in Piru
Because that water seeks her own
But four more hours she would flow
She had twenty-nine miles to go
She carried in her every kind of thing
House, trees, and telegraph pole
Some say a thousand souls
At three A.M. she gave Santa Paula a ring
She was still twenty-five feet high
Under a peaceful sky
Because that water seeks her own
But two more hours she would flow
She had nineteen miles more to go
It was a real bad night in little Saticoy
El Rio then Montalvo
How many no one really knows
Ventura Beach was very scary boy
Humanity a pile
She went her final mile
Because that water seeks her own
Into the sea the water flowed
And now for forever she would go

Such a sad and avoidable disaster. Thank goodness geologists are required on dam projects now.
Great post.

Been to the St. Francis dam site (before the highway through there was re-routed) and the Teton dam site. Frankly, the Teton site gets a lot more attention. There's a museum in an old Mormon tabernacle in Rexburg (I think) that covers a good deal of its history. As for the St. Francis dam, I'm not sure there's any museum that covers it, at least in any detail, though there is a historical marker in San Francisquito Canyon. That said, when I lived in Santa Barbara, when I would go to Santa Clarita on highway 126, I'd always imagine the wall of water that spread down the Santa Clara River Valley. Terrible destruction without warning since the dam break occurred out night.

Two months after the dam's collapse, 18-year-old Lercy Parker, his father, and a friend stopped to sightsee. Lercy was climbing the ruins and was about 30 feet above the streambed when his friend threw a rattlesnake up toward him. He fell, but did not die right away. His father drove him to a hospital but he did not survive. Terry Foley 805-701-2864

China on Wednesday accused terrorists in a Muslim Uighur region of attacking civilians, but an exiled Uighur group said the violence that killed at least 12 people mainly targeted armed Chinese personnel.
The bloodshed late Tuesday in the restive northwestern region of Xinjiang came at a sensitive time, ahead of next week's opening of China's national legislature, when authorities tighten security nationwide to prevent anything that would mar the annual session.
Officials and state media said the bloodshed started when assailants attacked civilians with knives on a commercial street in Yecheng city, killing 10 people; police fatally shot two of the attackers, the official accounts said.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei called the attackers "terrorists" and said they attacked innocent civilians, "cruelly killing several of them in an appalling manner."
However, Dilxat Raxit, a spokesman for the German-based World Uyghur Congress, said that the violence in Yecheng — called Kargilik by Uighurs — erupted because local residents "could no longer bear China's systematic repression," and have been denied outlets for peaceful protest.
He said local Uighurs told him seven armed Chinese security personnel were killed and that three people were shot to death. He said two more people were killed but did not provide any detail of those deaths. He said 10 people were injured, including two seriously hurt, and that police have detained 84 people. Police have sealed off the area, he said.
The government has failed to win over Uighurs and other ethnic minorities through policies to boost economic growth and incomes as it increases police presence and controls religious practices to deter displays of separatism. China's ethnic Tibetan regions have also been unsettled in recent months by scattered demonstrations and clashes with authorities, as well as self-immolations in protest against the government's policies.
"At present, Xinjiang is on the path of a leap-forward development," Hong, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, told reporters in Beijing. "We firmly oppose a handful of terrorists and separatists in sabotaging the peaceful development, good order, and unity.
A Communist Party official in Yecheng county, who declined to give his name, said that aside from the two assailants shot on the spot, all the remaining attackers were later captured by police. He refused to answer further questions. Calls to police offices in Yecheng went unanswered.
Censors blocked postings about the attack on microblogs. Searches on Sina Corporation's popular Weibo service returned the message: "In accordance with relevant laws, regulations and policies, 'Xinjiang Yecheng' search results were not shown."
Sporadic attacks occur in Xinjiang — a region of oil and gas deposits, vast deserts, and towering mountains that abuts Central Asia — despite a smothering security presence imposed following 2009 riots in the regional capital of Urumqi in which almost 200 people died. The riots pitted Uighurs against migrants from China's majority Han.
Much of the violence has been centered in Yecheng and other oasis cities in southern Xinjiang, a heartland of Uighur culture. A group of Uighurs stormed a police station in the city of Hotan to the east of Yecheng on July 18 and took hostages, killing four. On July 30 and 31, Uighurs in Kashgar to the west hijacked a truck, set a restaurant on fire and stabbed people in the street. Authorities said 14 of the attackers were shot by police in Hotan, and five assailants were killed in the violence in Kashgar.
China says those events were organized terror attacks, but overseas Uighur groups say they were anti-government riots carried out by angry citizens. Uighur (pronounced WEE'-gur) activists and security analysts blame the violence on economic marginalization and restrictions on Uighur culture and the Muslim religion that are breeding frustration and anger among young Uighurs.
Chinese authorities have offered little evidence to back up their claims of outside involvement and rarely provide details on arrests or punishment of the suspects. Tight information controls and the remoteness of the area, more than 2,175 miles (3,500 kilometers) west of Beijing, ensure that the circumstances surrounding such incidents often remain murky.
The government has periodically closed unregistered Islamic schools and study sessions, seeing them as a wellspring for radical separatism. The World Uyghur Congress has said that authorities in Xinjiang's Aksu region in recent weeks confiscated hundreds of tracts and videos and detained more than 100 people.

ABC: Another (Off Duty Foodie) Burger Creation
Meet the "Ivan and Brandon Hate Your Taste Buds Tikka Masala Burger"
Most people take a step back in wonderment when I tell them that, growing up, I was the fat kid. I've since gotten a handle on my eating habits, but back in the day, I ate like there was no tomorrow. Back then, it wasn't so much about indulging in the finest things life had to offer. All I needed was a good burger. Looking back, burgers made up a significant portion of my diet. Anytime my family went out to a restaurant, be it a steakhouse, Mexican place, diner, deli, or what have you, I ordered a burger. No one would have guessed back then that I'd grow into the discerning (or skinny) epicure I've become.
Even now, I love a good burger. So much that, sometimes, it's tough to fend off the chubby youngster imprisoned under my skin to order something more culinarily interesting for the purpose of doing my job as a food writer. That probably explains why I'm so critical of places that specialize in burgers or claim to have a kick-ass burger but fail to deliver. In my mind, it's so easy to get one right that getting one wrong is a sign of ineptness. As I announced last week, Rancho Bernardo's Urge American Gastropub invited me to develop a recipe for a burger to go on their menu as a special. That creation is currently available and I'm ecstatic about it.
So, what's one step up from ecstatic? I'm at a loss for the proper adjective to describe my elation over the fact that, this Friday, April 12, yet another of my burger creations will be on the menu at a local restaurant. This one is a collaborative effort between myself and Ivan Derezin, the owner of Churchill's Pub & Grille (887 West San Marcos Boulevard, San Marcos), created to be served at that North County craft beer sanctuary in tandem with a special beer I had a hand in brewing.
The beer is Sierra Nevada Beer Camp #93 Celebrator Beer News 25th Anniversary Double Pale Ale, a robust, mega-hopped brew for which only one keg still exists in all of San Diego County. It will go on at 5 p.m. along with the burger, a capsaicin-laced physical challenge of an offering that, like the beer, is definitely not for the timid.
The patty is made of high quality ground beef with the following enhancers mixed in: cumin, paprika, ginger, and oh yeah, spicy tikka masala paste. Adding to the incendiary qualities of this pepper bomb is what we're calling "Ivan Hates You" feta cheese sauce. A pub with serious English influence, Churchill's offers numerous Indian dishes and curry that comes in at various heat levels like "mild," "hot," "extra spicy," and..."Ivan hates you." Did I mention this guy grows a number of rare blow-your-head-off-hot chilies behind the restaurant? He likes him some heat, as do I, and he's not afraid to share the love…no matter who gets hurt in the process.
Billed as the Ivan and Brandon Hate Your Taste Buds Tikka Masala Burger, it will also include crispy fried onion strips and habanero pepper threads, and some heirloom tomato slices to at least create the illusion of a cooling element. It's less gourmet, but definitely not the type of burger you're bound to find on any menu here or pretty much anywhere.
If this sounds up your alley, give it a whirl. And, hey, there's no shame in getting some of the hot stuff on the side so you can sample it instead of daring yourself to down it all. And if you're more a hop head than a hot head, come on over and get the beer and skip the burger altogether. Be true to yourself and your spice tolerance, and hopefully we'll see you on Friday!

Pfenex Inc. Plans $74.8 M illion IPO
Friday, June 6, 2014
Pfenex Inc., a spinoff of Dow Chemical Co., is the latest San Diego biotech to file for an initial public offering, looking to raise $74.8 million to fund its development of biosimilars.
The company, which employs 25 and was founded in 2009, plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker symbol "PFNX."
Biosimilars are essentially the generic versions of a class of drugs called biologics, which are medicines derived from biological as opposed to chemical sources. Pfenex's biosimilars resemble macular degeneration drug Lucentis, which is marketed by F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. and Novartis AG and achieved 2013 sales of about $4.3 billion.
Pfenex is currently conducting Phase 1b/2a trials of its drug candidate, PF582, in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration, a disease of the eye that causes loss of vision. It expects to enter phase 3 trials in mid-2015.
The company's next most product candidate, PF530, is similar to Bayer AG's Betaseron, which treats multiple sclerosis. Betaseron sales topped $1.4 billion in 2013 globally.
Pfenex has five other biosimilar candidates in development. It is also developing a vaccine for anthrax.

Not trying to be a party pooper, but how would Hasbro respond to someone infringing in a more or less direct way on their 3.75" license (direct as in plastic, same scale, same rough price point)? I know you want them and don't misunderstand, I would probably buy some too if they were what you and Jesse are envisioning, but between what they've (GG) already released, the licensing conflict potential and cost issues that Hasbro surely must have with this, I just can't expect these to be anything but what has already been released in the Simpsons/Corpse Bride/Hellboy bustups from Gentle Giant.Be an optimist, and no one knows if I'm correct yet, but I'll side on the not happening the way you'd like version.
Thanks for ******** on everything, Brent.

How To Make Flourless Chocolate-Kahlua Cake Recipes - This cake has a fine selection of strawberry and Cajeta sauce that fits perfect on the cake as a wonderfully tasteful topping.
* 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
* 8 ounces semisweet chocolate
* 7 egg yolks
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 1/2 ounces coffee liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
* Whites from 5 eggs
* 1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
* Cajeta, recipe follows
* 1/2 cup water
* 1 cup sugar
* Approximately 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 2 tablespoons butter
Strawberry-Lime Salsa:
* 1 1/2 pints strawberries
* 2 key limes or 1 large lime, juiced
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1 1/2 tablespoons chiffonade of mint
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-inch round pie pan. Line pan with greased parchment or waxed paper. In the top of a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate and stir until smooth. Whip the egg yolks and the sugar until fluffy and pale in color. Fold butter and chocolate mixture into the egg yolk and sugar mixture, adding the coffee liqueur. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks and gently fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the pie pan and bake for 25 to 35 minutes then allow to cool completely.
2. Cajeta: In a medium saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil, do not stir. Remove from heat when the sugar is amber in color and add enough cream to thin the caramel to a fairly liquid consistency. Stir in butter. To test consistency, dip a spoon into the caramel mixture and allow to cool. If the "cajeta" is gooey but holds its shape, it's ready; if it hardens too much, add a little more cream and test again.
3. Strawberry-Lime Salsa: In a blender, puree half the strawberries with the lime juice and the sugar. Strain and reserve. Cut the remainder of the strawberries in quarters and mix with the puree. Add chiffonade of mint.
4. When the cajeta has cooled a little, but is still warm, pour over cake on top of a wire rack to catch the drippings. Using your hand, pat almonds all around the sides of the cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours and serve chilled with salsa.

We are pleased to announce that we are now offering our full product range without restrictions. Due to unprecedented demand with our delivery partners, we are advising to allow additional time for delivery.
The Telegraph Team
Americans drink many gallons of tap water every day, but many of them question the safety of tap water every day as well. In fact, devices have been created to filter tap water directly before reaching cups. It's true; however, that the provision and management of safe drinking water throughout the United States have seen triumphs in public health since the beginning of the 20th century. Although, advances in water treatment, source water protection efforts, and the presence of local, state, and federal regulatory protection have developed over the years, water in the United States still contain chemical, microbiological, and other types of contaminants at detectable and at times harmful levels. This in addition to the growth of microbial pathogens that can resist traditional water treatment practices have led to the question: Where and how should the U.S. government focus its attention and limited resources to ensure safe drinking water supplies for the future?
To deal with these issues the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments of 1996 Safe included a request that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publish a list of unregulated chemical and microbial contaminants and contaminant groups every five years that are or could pose risks in the drinking water of public water systems. The first list, called the Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL), was published in March 1998. The main function of the CCL is to provide the basis for deciding whether to regulate at least five new contaminants from the CCL every five years. However, since additional research and monitoring need to be conducted for most of the contaminants on the 1998 CCL, the list is also used to prioritize these related activities.
Classifying Drinking Water Contaminants for Regulatory Consideration is the third report by the Committee on Dinking Water Contaminants with the purpose of providing advice regarding the setting of priorities among drinking water contaminants in order to identify those contaminants that pose the greatest threats to public health. The committee is comprised of 14 volunteer experts in water treatment engineering, toxicology, public health, epidemiology, water and analytical chemistry, risk assessment, risk communication, public water system operations, and microbiology and is jointly overseen by the National Research Council's (NRC'S) Water Science and Technology Board and Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology. In this report the committee needed to readdress its second report as well as explore the feasibility of developing and using mechanisms for identifying emerging microbial pathogens for research and regulatory activities. The promotion of public health remains the guiding principle of the committee's recommendations and conclusions in this report.
