The love of money may be the root of all evil according to the Bible, but that hasn't stopped bookmakers from offering odds on who will emerge from the white smoke as the next pope.
At odds as low as 2-1, Cardinal Angelo Scola, the archbishop of Milan, is the bookmakers' favorite to succeed Benedict XVI, who Thursday becomes the first pope to step down for almost 600 years.
Those betting an African will take the Catholic Church's top job for the first time will be happy to hear Ghana's Cardinal Peter Turkson is running a close second at 5-2, while Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican Secretary of State, is currently running third with odds of 7-2.
Claire Davies, a spokeswoman at Irish bookmaker Paddy Power, said more than £300,000 ($450,000) in bets on the next pope have been placed since Benedict's resignation -- and that's before the papal conclave to choose the next church head has even started.
"It's our biggest non-sporting event of the year," Davies told CNN, "and we expect the betting to really pick up as we head towards the conclave."
Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet and Italian Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco round out Paddy Power's top five -- and though betting on the next pope is illegal in the U.S., the Irish bookmaker is offering 33-1 odds on Cardinal Timothy Dolan, America's top Catholic.
But Vatican insiders aren't the only prospective pontiffs punters can wager on in the hopes that a puff of white smoke will finally put their bank accounts into the black.
Davies says nine more bets have been placed on Father Dougal Maguire -- the dimwitted fictional priest from Irish television sitcom "Father Ted" and a 10,000-1 underdog -- than for Claudio Hummes, a Brazilian cardinal who also has the added benefit of being a real person.
Paddy Power says it has also drawn 20 bets at 1,000-1 that U2 singer Bono will be the next pope, and another five on Richard Dawkins, the famously outspoken atheist and scientist, at an ominous 666-1. One British bookmaker is even offering 10,000-1 odds that disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong will be chosen to head up the church.
But the bookies' odds aren't necessarily the best indicator of who the next pope will be, and a phrase repeated by Cardinal Javier Barragan of Mexico is worth remembering: "He who enters the conclave as a possible pope comes out a cardinal."

Romney pledges to 'get us on track to have a balanced budget'
Romney noted that Obama was a harsh critic of Bush�s spending policies during the 2008 campaign, calling his record on debt �irresponsible.� But without delving into the complexities of the economic collapse that Obama faced after taking office, he charged that the President did not fulfill a promise to cut the debt in half: �Instead he doubled it, all right, he doubled it,� the former Massachusetts governor said.
�It�s true you can�t blame one party or the other for all the debts this country has, because both parties in my opinion have spent too much and borrowed too much when they were in power,� Romney told a crowd of several hundred people who cheered enthusiastically throughout his speech. But, he added, �I find it incomprehensible that a President could come to office and call his predecessor�s record irresponsible and unpatriotic and then do almost nothing to fix it, and instead every year to add more and more and more spending.
�If I�m President, I�m actually going to take responsibility and lead, and get us on track to have a balanced budget.�
In his indictment of Obama�s handling of the economy �paign � Romney often prefaces his statements by saying that Obama was not responsible for the nation�s economic crisis, but accuses him of making it worse. He rarely discusses his views on how the Bush administration�s policies contributed to the nation�s fiscal crisis or more specifically the Wall Street meltdown. On Wednesday he did not even mention Bush�s name, repeatedly referring to him as the �predecessor.�
Romney has a warm friendship with President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara, who offered a warm endorsement of the candidate in late March. But his campaign did not send out a statement acknowledging the 43rd president�s informal endorsement of Romney on Tuesday. The younger Bush told an ABC News reporter �I�m for Mitt Romney� _ and did not elaborate _ while entering an elevator during a visit to Washington on Tuesday.
Bush�s record, particularly on spending issues and the costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, is unpopular even within his own party _ one reason why Romney rarely mentions his name. (When Bush left office in January of 2009, only 37 percent of adults said they had a favorable view of him). The Obama campaign has tried to tie Romney�s policies to those of the 43rd president at every turn.
By focusing on the national debt and spending issues in Florida, Romney is targeting not just Republicans, but also independents key to defeating Obama, who won the state by a thin margin in 2008. On Wednesday in St. Petersburg, Romney urged members of the audience to �go out and talk to your friends and get them to lean this way as well.�
�There are a lot of people who haven�t heard from us. We need to get to the college kids, for instance, and people coming out of high school, and folks that have only lived in Florida for short while.�
The candidate suggested a possible pitch to the unpersuaded: �Say, �Guys, did you know there�s about a half million dollars that this government has in debt and obligations on your household? And this president keeps spending more and more, and hiding from you what�s going on. We�ve got to get this guy Romney in there so we can have a brighter future for ourselves; create jobs and have a brighter future for our kids.��

That's not a bleeped word, that's STARS! For All-Star PR, which starts tonight. Hooray -- it wouldn't be Thursday without cutting & snipping, and I mean by our critiques, not by scissors on fabric! I haven't had time to keep up with who's on the show or what the challenges are going to be, so tonight will be a total surprise for me.

I don't like it when you go right back & correct something your English teacher would have pointed out with her red pen, and then you get a big fat EDIT slapped on your post's forehead, as if you totally changed what you said! I stand by what I said before. I'm watching the show. | ||||
I will be watching, too! I find myself noting how clothes fit people on television now that I have been watching P. Runway!!! Thanks for the reminder! Susan | ||||
I've got it set to record, just in case DH wants to watch something else. | ||||
If I'm reading my TV schedule correctly, it starts at 9, it only lasts an hour, and Mondo is going to be a guest judge? Woot! And they're also running several episodes from the last All-Stars, starting at 4pm with that UN flag challenge! Remember that one? With the Grecian flag toga/caftan! | ||||
Repeats are at 11pm, 1am, and 3am, in case you're up feeding the baby. | ||||
-- And times listed are if you live in the same time zone as Mood. | ||||
sgh...I'm in the Pacific and have to figure out the time...grrrrr...I'll be up cleaning the dining room...company coming. the sleeping kitties don't like the vacuummmmmrooaaaaarrrrrr! "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
Nancy, I think you need add 21 hours and then subtract a day. So you should have watched it yesterday sometime. | ||||
I have to tape it and watch it late tonight or maybe tomorrow. DH is up and has the remote. so I'll come back after I watch it. SUE B The smallest Cross in the corner is the one you put in the room. I hope all our daily ups and downs are with needle and thread. COF 2007 http://www2.snapfish.com/snapf...BRAND_NAME=snapfish/ | ||||
I'm 'planted' on the couch and can't wait (25 min. to go)! I cheering-on Wendy Pepper as I've seen a lot of her creations via her Facebook page. | ||||
Wow, an hour of PR zooms past quickly, so watch fast! No spoilers below -- safe to keep reading. Had to agree with the judges' bottom 3 choices. Still thinking about top 3. I might have chosen differently. Several of the designers impressed me tonight. Lots of familiar faces this time, and a few I didn't see because my cable system didn't carry Bravo years ago. So it will be interesting to see what some of these new-to-me designers can do. | ||||
I agree with the bottom three. Top 3-I might have chosen differently too. I remember most of the designers from the past. Some haven't changed. I wonder how on earth they could make a living. Don't have a favorite yet. | ||||
I should have said the Pacific Coast. oops I'm at the beginning now. Oh no. A whole BUNCH of people I didn't like on previous shows...ALL TOGETHER!!!!! aaaaaaauuuuuuuuggghhhhh! maybe they were picked by "irritating factor" ?????? edta: "I wonder how on earth they could make a living."....oh my yes.... I liked Suede's skirt and Ivy's jacket. Not sure about fringe placement on the jacket from the first show's designer...Pepper??? Ivy's shorts are the first shorts on amy of these shows I've liked. And Mondo seemed to have on more clothes this time. Whew. ***This message has been edited. Last edited by: nancyc20, "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
Relax & "channel your inner winner," Nancy! | ||||
Nancy.,.. That is why I didnt watch it.. All I remember about the ones on tonights show, was that they whined too darn much... So, I watched The Mentalist. www.pigtalesandquilts.com www.crazyquiltingsupplies.com Crazy Quilting is addictive so we just have to STITCH IT OUT LOUD! | ||||
Well I messed up. Got ready to watch what I recorded last night and realized I had recorded the rerun of last week's finale instead of the new show. Oh well, I just set the DVR to record next Thursday's show and right after it they show a rerun of last night's show, so I'm recording that too. I'll just have to wait another week to see the show. | ||||
Bunny, supposedly you can watch full episodes on the web. I've never done it, but if you want to try, here you go... http://www.mylifetime.com/show...2/episodes/episode-1 Click on "Watch Full Episodes" in purple on the upper right. | ||||
Quiltaholic: you're right! These are the "whiner designers"!!!!! hahahaha! "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
I've decided that I like some Thursday drama, so let them whine. Nancy, you really liked Suede's handkerchief skirt? When I saw it, all I could think of were those puppy pid-dle pads from the pet shop challenge! He was lucky that Heidi & Nina & MK weren't the judges. They detest handkerchief skirts! Peach's dress wasn't so great. She kept saying that she only designed tennis wear, and I knew she was doomed with that mental block in place. I really liked Laura's long black dress & blue jacket! She could have won. And Ivy's jacket was cool, despite what the judges said. I was worried when they said leather & lace, because the use of lace often gets ripped apart by the judges. But they used it sparingly, and in some good places (like the back of that blouse). | ||||
I agreed with the judges too. Peach's dress was awful and she kept making excuses. I didn't like the skirt with the hankerchiefs. I loved Ivy's jacket. I liked the blouse that won. Except no one with boobage could wear that! So we shall see what next week brings. There were several designers I don't remember seeing before. Should be fun! Pam | ||||
I liked the show. since we did not get season 1 and 2 here, some of the all stars were new to me. This is the 1st show and group comps are hard but I did not see one outfit that I really liked. Boobage is one of my pet peeves on the show. They are either bound up tight or in a top slit to the waist. Have I mentioned how I hate the zipper sewn out. This fad should have faded by now. Erma Craft Happens! | ||||
I've never understood the zipper in the back standing out thing. I'm not sure why I liked the skirt of that dress (hated the shoulder arm b r ea st thingies (circular shapes with pointy???) I think it was that the points were faced with the blue and when she walked every thing moved like a flapper...thick fringe. There were FAR more wonderful clothes in the team that won that hardly got a mention. I like the judges. Wine with the whine next time. ***This message has been edited.

I haven't watched my dvr yet but I flipped it on midway and the bit I saw of Whiny Josh made me shudder and flip it back off. Might be working my FF button a lot this season! | ||||

Andreu and his wife, Betsy, say they fell into disfavor with Armstrong after testifying in an arbitration case filed against Armstrong by a company seeking to avoid paying out bonuses to him for race victories during which he was accused of doping.
In their testimony, they told of a 1996 incident in an Indianapolis hospital room in which, they said, Armstrong told doctors treating him for cancer that he had taken a variety of performance enhancing drugs.
"After that, it was all-out attack, war on my wife and I," Andreu told Cowherd. "They ripped us apart. I lost a lot of jobs, lost a lot of money. It's been a very long, long fight. Now things are changing."
Betsy Andreu said she was pressured to sign a statement disavowing the story, and when she refused, she was "vilified."
"I became, in Lance's words, 'bitter' and 'vindictive' and 'jealous,'" she said in an affidavit included in the USADA report.
She recently told CNN's Anderson Cooper that her husband's career fell apart and the couple felt intimidated.
"If he wants to send a message and bully you, he can intimidate you and be very, very mean," she said.
She said she wasn't sure what to make of Armstrong's pending acknowledgment.
"The person you see is the image he wants you to see," she said. "He's a chameleon."
Other Armstrong critics also are likely to be watching the interview closely.

Early Chamber of Commerce Luncheon
By: Liz Gonzales
Updated: January 25, 2013
Early Police Chief David Mercer, says their presence on school campuses is evident and they will continue to do everything in their power to maintain the highest level of security.
Meanwhile, Early ISD Superintendent Brett Koch says that it's important that we focus on regulation of state testing. Currently students are tested 45 days of the school year which he believes takes away from educating students. Koch also says that the search for the next head coach of early high school is still ongoing.
"It's a time consuming process. One that you certainly don't want to rush when you have a high volume of applicants who have applied. We want to make sure that we do our due diligence and find the right person for Early ISD," says Koch.
The superintendent tells KTAB they had over 100 people from all over the country apply. From California to Florida, only one will be named head coach in March.

Bright Spots: Jan. 31, 20134:30 am, January 31, 2013
It's not all bad out there. Here's the latest installment of a weekly web feature that highlights positive developments in the Northeast Ohio business community. The state estimates the 11 projects will create a total of 410 jobs and retain 874. They're expected to result in more than $20 million in new payroll, and spur approximately $51 million in investment across Ohio. Freeway Corp. of Valley View received a five-year, 35% tax credit for an expansion project to create 20 full-time positions, generate $800,000 in additional annual payroll and retain $5.7 million in existing payroll. The company makes washers, stampings, multi-component assemblies, ball bearing assemblies and precision-machined components. RTS Cos. in Ashtabula County expects to create 30 full-time positions, generate $728,000 in additional annual payroll and retain $1.4 million in existing payroll as a result of the company's expansion project in Austinburg Township. It makes custom and proprietary molded plastic products. The Tax Credit Authority approved a five-year, 35% tax credit for the company. Ohio Star Forge Co. of Trumbull County expects to create 26 full-time positions, generate $1.5 million in additional annual payroll and retain $5.8 million in existing payroll through a consolidation project in Warren. The state approved a six-year, 40% tax credit. The survey of 143 local companies with at least $1 million in annual revenue found that 42% expect to hire more full-time workers in the next six months, and 56% plan to hire more part-timers in that timeframe. Those surveyed also believe the economy is moving in a positive direction, with 56% reporting positive feelings about starting a new business in the next half year and 63% believing in a positive change in net profit. "The results from the survey underscore that Cleveland businesses are thriving despite the current economic climate," said the organization's Cleveland chapter president, James Benjamin. "We expect our businesses to continue growing, and we expect the market to rebound in a positive way." The Entrepreneurs' Organization is a network of more than 8,000 business owners in 40 countries. Membership in one of its 20 chapters is by invitation only; the average member is 41 years old with annual revenues of $17.3 million. Company principals Gary Levin, Steven Swedler and Kevin Crum have more than 100 years of combined experience. The new firm serves business, individual and nonprofit clientele in Northeast Ohio. It offers audit services, tax planning, tax preparation, accounting, estate planning, and consulting services. "Combining our expertise, technology, resources and dedicated teams has allowed us to provide a new level of excellent service to our clientele," Mr. Crum said in a statement. "We have a shared mission, and that is to continue to utilize all of our resources most effectively for the benefit of the clients and community we serve. Merging with Levin, Swedler & Co. has allowed us to take meaningful steps to sustain our current rate of growth as specialized solution providers." Mr. Levin founded Levin Swedler & Associates in 1986. Crum Buchanan was founded in 1996 by Mr. Crum. The merged firm plans to emphasize its expertise and experience in the areas of nonprofit organizations and audits of profit-sharing plans. Mr. Crum will manage the nonprofit practice; the profit-sharing plan audit practice will be managed by Todd Kennedy.

MOUNT PLEASANT – The Iowa Wesleyan College baseball program will be hosting a pair of skills clinics this winter.
A pitching and catching clinic will be held Jan. 31 from 9 a.m. to noon, while a hitting clinic will be conducted Feb. 8 from 1-4 p.m. Both will be held at IWC's Ruble Arena.
The clinics will consist of three components. Mini-clinics will feature lectures on various skills, techniques and drills. Demonstrations will include the live execution of drills by staff members to ensure proper technique, and the demonstrations will be followed by group participation in which players perform skills under staff supervision.
The sessions are designed to teach proper mechanics and fundamentals in pitching, catching and hitting. Both clinics will be conducted by Iowa Wesleyan College Head Coach Brett Monaghan and his coaching staff, as well as members of the IWC baseball team.
The camp is open to boys and girls ages 6-14. The cost of each clinic individually is $30 or $50 for both. A $5 late registration fee will apply to all registrations received after Jan. 20. Clinic fees are non-refundable without 24 hours advance notice.
Campers are expected to bring a cap, tennis shoes, glove and bat. Catchers are also expected to bring catching equipment. All campers will also receive a camp t-shirt.

This morning on Carnival Breeze I sat down with John Heald, CarnivalŌĆÖs Senior Cruise Director, Brand Ambassador, and Blogger extraordinaire to discuss a variety of topics. Find out what John likes best about the Carnival Breeze, what the new Carnival Cruise Lines is all about, new cruise line safety measures, his future as a cruise director with the company, and what he really thinks of the French and Cruise Critic. His answers will make you laugh and just might surprise you. There are also some new exciting news items in this interview that you wonŌĆÖt read about anywhere else.
www.expertcruiser.com: What do you think about all the Fun Ship 2.0 improvements?
John Heald: I love it.┬Ā I think GuyŌĆÖs Burger is the best thing to hit the Lido Deck since we had the Playboy charter in 1998. ItŌĆÖs a yabba-dabba-doo moment. You want to slide down your own pet dinosaur and grab that lump of meat like they do.┬Ā I honestly absolutely love it. IŌĆÖve never understood those burger snobs and steak snobs and I never thought IŌĆÖd be one of those.┬Ā I am now because I compare every burger to GuyŌĆÖs. ItŌĆÖs a very, very good burger.┬Ā I think having the two new themed bars on Lido Deck are great and the crew that work there take great pride and ownership in those new areas. Thrill Theater is fantastic. Bonsai Sushi has been a huge success.┬Ā I didnŌĆÖt think it would be as popular as it is. While I know a good burger when I eat it sushi is a big mystery to me. I donŌĆÖt understand the whole raw fish thing, but itŌĆÖs been a big hit onboard. The greatest bargain onboard is La Cucina del Capitano for $12 all that food you get, itŌĆÖs fantastic.
So yeah, I think 2.0 is a great addition. But what I really love about it itŌĆÖs not just about the new ships but is going on the older ships.┬Ā ItŌĆÖs going on the Ecstasy next month, then the Conquest and then the Glory.┬Ā The reinvestment in the fleet is very important. There are some cruise lines that market their newer ships only.┬ĀWeŌĆÖve always done well in not saying itŌĆÖs all about one ship or two ships.
www.expertcruiser.com: What do you think about the new d├®cor on Breeze?
John Heald: Even with all the big Fun Ship 2.0 changes the heartbeat of Carnival is still there even though the walls are different color and calmer. The d├®cor for me makes the ship feel 30,000 tons lighter. ItŌĆÖs the same size as the Magic and the Dream, but it feels lighter and crisper. ItŌĆÖs resort.┬Ā My favorite parts of the ship are the guest corridors and the colors of the cabins. I just love them thereŌĆÖs just something inviting coming back to the cabin.
This reminds me a lot of AIDA ships as the architects that have done Breeze have been doing those ships for years. Amazing ships. Best cruise ships most people will never sail on.
www.expertcruiser.com: The beards are branding everything on the ship. Are they going to brand John Heald?
John Heald: TheyŌĆÖre going to work in partnership with JC Penney or Big Bubbas clothing store.┬Ā I am not sure which one (laughs).┬Ā No, they arenŌĆÖt going to brand John Heald.┬Ā The branding thing has really changed us. ItŌĆÖs very simple. Guy Fieri is mass market.
You look at some of the other type of things that we are doing with RedFrog Pub. ItŌĆÖs worked fantastic.┬ĀWe have this beer youŌĆÖve seen called ŌĆśThirsty Frog RedŌĆÖ. IŌĆÖll give you a little exclusive ŌĆśthingyŌĆÖ that I havenŌĆÖt told anyone else.┬ĀWe are giving serious consideration as of this week to bottling and selling ŌĆśThirsty Frog RedŌĆÖ. We are working with our friends with AIDA because they have a microbrewery onboard.
ThatŌĆÖs our own brand.┬ĀThe other known ships have Starbucks and Johnny Rockets and some of them are very good.┬Ā I hear on NCL for example they have Blue Man Group and I hear they are fantastic. But we are doing our own thing.┬ĀWeŌĆÖve come a long way.┬ĀAs Gerry said weŌĆÖve only just begun.┬ĀBreeze is the first ship with the beards signature all over it. Even Magic by the time Gerry, Mark, Reuben, and the other people came in those ships were already designed, done and dusted when they came in.┬ĀThis is the first ship which is 100 percent the new generation of Carnival.
www.expertcruiser.com: ItŌĆÖs been a tough year for the cruise industry after the Concordia disaster.┬Ā WhatŌĆÖs changed?
John Heald: ItŌĆÖs been a bad year.┬ĀThe market is picking up again now. Concordia is still on everyoneŌĆÖs mind.┬Ā Sadly IŌĆÖve had a lot of people ask me are we going to see the Concordia.┬ĀThere is that morbid tourism. ┬ĀIt (Concordia accident) suddenly gave us all a kick in the pants.
The crew on this ship gets off in a completely different way than the passengers. They use a MES (Marine Escape System) system.┬ĀThere are six of them in the back of the ship on Deck 4 they are chutes rather than those round life rafts that you wonŌĆÖt see onboard here anymore.┬ĀWe launch these long sock-like chutes much like those on an airplane that the crew slides down into an inflatable life raft at the bottom. The crew gets off much quicker and in a much more organized way. So its bang, bang, bang youŌĆÖre off. The ferryŌĆÖs and freighters have them.┬ĀThree hundred of the crew are in the life boats with the passengers and the majority of the crew use the MES system.┬Ā I wonder if the days of lifeboats are numbered and whether the guests will use the MES system.
I learned something in the Splendor fire you have to kill the guests with information.┬ĀEven with that ALPHA TEAM incident from the other day you have to give them information.
www.expertcruiser.com: Your blog is a huge success whatŌĆÖs the future of the blog?
John Heald: As IŌĆÖve made pretty clear in the blog I wrote the other day and after a long conversation with Gerry this will be my last new ship launch.┬Ā I am not going to do anymore new ships.┬Ā I canŌĆÖt do a new ship and do this brand ambassador stuff at the same time anymore.┬ĀItŌĆÖs too much.┬ĀOne of it suffers and thatŌĆÖs not fair on either.┬Ā I donŌĆÖt want the guests to suffer and I donŌĆÖt want the blog to suffer either.┬ĀSo, at some point in the months ahead they are going to have to decide which one they want me to do.┬ĀAlso, IŌĆÖve been at sea for 26-years so thereŌĆÖs a time now where I donŌĆÖt want to do the long contracts anymore.┬ĀI want to do shorter ones maybe a month at sea and work from home for a little bit.
www.expertcruiser.com: ThereŌĆÖs Batman and Robin; Laurel and Hardy; Abbott and Costello. WhatŌĆÖs with you and Calvin are you guys the new dynamic duo?
John Heald: WhatŌĆÖs with me and Calvin.┬ĀWell, IŌĆÖve never shared a Morning Show with anybody.┬ĀCalvin is probably one of the most naturally funny men IŌĆÖve ever met.┬Ā ItŌĆÖs hard for you to put this in words without them (readers) seeing it.┬ĀThere is a chemistry and I get to be the straight man (pardon the pun).┬ĀHeŌĆÖs become a bit of an icon.┬Ā HeŌĆÖs a great joy to work with and the Morning Shows have taken on a bit of a life of their own. WeŌĆÖre going to continue our duo and heŌĆÖll travel with me next year if I do time on the ships next year.
www.expertcruiser.com:┬ĀOkay John, weŌĆÖre going to do some word association. ┬ĀAnswer with just one word.

At approximately 2:30 PM (8:30 AM EST) I made a Twitter post about a ŌĆ£Code ALPHAŌĆØ alert onboard the Carnival Breeze. Code ALPHA is the ship crew term for fire onboard. At that time a fire team was dispatched to deal with a small smoke issue in the crew area. Carnival just released a statement to clarify the incident. I can assure you that at no time were there indications of any major problems and the crew did a great job dealing with the smoke issue and keeping passengers informed. Here is CarnivalŌĆÖs statement on the incident:
ŌĆØ A fan belt inside an AC unit in a crew area overheated and started generating smoke. There was not an actual fire and no smoke entered guest areas. The ship's crew responded immediately and all is well.ŌĆØ
So, there you have it. The crew did exactly as they train to do.

ItŌĆÖs a much needed sea day after four hectic days in port (Marseille, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Salerno) time to enjoy some old and new ŌĆśFun ShipŌĆÖ festivities on the new Carnival Breeze.
First the new. This morning I had the opportunity to check out the new 24-seat Thrill Theater onboard. What a neat concept this is. There are four movies/experiences to choose from: Planet Earth Shallow Seas; Sponge Bob, MumbleŌĆÖs Wild Ride; Bamboo Express. The cost is $8 per movie or you can buy a pass for $15 for unlimited movies throughout the cruise. Needless to say the unlimited package is the way to go. Upon entering guests are given special 3-D glasses that work with the high-definition projection system. There are additional fun elements such as squirting water and bubbles, ŌĆśthingysŌĆÖ that tickle legs, air blowing on your neck, and a creepy ŌĆśfingerŌĆÖ that pokes you in your seat. Seats also shift back and forth, move from side to side and also vibrate, creating an exciting and exhilarating experience. ItŌĆÖs a lot of fun and you will leave a bit wet.
From one laugh it was on to another as I checked out the new Punchliner Comedy Brunch in the Sapphire Dining Room. The brunch is only offered on sea days from 10-1 and is worth going to not just for laughs, but for a really good brunch menu. Each hour the comedians do a 10-minute routine while you eat. ItŌĆÖs definitely a belly of laughs!
In the afternoon it was time for some old ŌĆśFun ShipŌĆÖ entertainment — the infamous Carnival ŌĆ£Hairy Chest ContestŌĆØ. It came down to two wild and crazy guys one from New Jersey the other from New Zealand. ItŌĆÖs hard to describe the antics these two went through. Suffice it to say it was insane and the dude from NJ ended up taking home the. Lots of laughs and one heck of a conga line followed the festivities.
Carnival certainly does live up to its ŌĆ£Fun ShipŌĆØ reputation. ThereŌĆÖs a lot more onboard so stay tuned for more live blogs from Carnival Breeze.

When Carnival Cruise Lines unveiled Fun Ship 2.0 it was the beginning of a huge transformation for the fleet and the perception of the cruise line itself. Fun Ship 2.0 builds on the popular features launched on Carnival Magic in 2011 from the massive waterpark to new partnerships in dining and entertainment. Since the launch of Magic, Carnival has announced breakthrough partnerships with some of todayŌĆÖs biggest talents and has created its own new branded experiences and onboard destinations.
Carnival Breeze is the first ship to feature all of the new entertainment offerings that are part of the Fun Ship 2.0 enhancements so letŌĆÖs take a look at whatŌĆÖs new.
Easy on the eyes
Long known for its over-the-top interior decor by resident architect Joseph Farcus, Carnival has recently been toning down its signature glitzy look with a more contemporary, elegant style. From the moment you step onboard itŌĆÖs clear Breeze isnŌĆÖt a neon shrine of past Carnival ships. The ship offers a distinctive island-inspired design theme offering a dramatic combination of bright colors and soothing pastel hues, with iconic images of palm trees and other tropical elements adorning hallway corridors. Contemporary furnishings and light fixtures enhance the stylish atmosphere.
High-tech Entertainment
Breeze offers CarnivalŌĆÖs first Thrill Theater, with interactive special effects that make viewers feel as if they are part of the featured movie. The theater combines a high-definition projection system with elements such as squirting water and bubbles, and original special effects that tickle guestsŌĆÖ legs, blow air on their necks and poke them in their seats. Seats within the theater shift back and forth, move from side to side and also vibrate, creating an exciting and exhilarating experience. Guests receive special glasses that deliver a truly immersive movie-going experience.
Breeze is also the first ship to offer Hasbro, The Game Show, a new family-oriented entertainment option that features larger-than-life adaptations of the brandŌĆÖs iconic games and activities. Six main games are offered: SORRY! SLIDERS, which involves a giant shuffleboard court; SIMON FLASH, where two teams of four guests wear giant light-up color boxes and must shuffle themselves quickly to repeat a color sequence; YAHTZEE BOWLING, with a giant ball and larger-than-life-sized bowling pins; OPERATION SAM DUNK, which is set up like a skee-ball board where contestants try to get the balls into different slots on the ŌĆ£patientŌĆÖsŌĆØ body, and CONNECT 4 BASKETBALL, which uses a basketball setup rather than the traditional checkers to play.
Playlist Productions debuts on Breeze offering high-tech production shows that combine captivating live performances with LED staging and special effects to set a new standard in seagoing entertainment. Four exhilarating revues are currently offered ŌĆō ŌĆ£Divas,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Latin Nights,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Motor City,ŌĆØ and ŌĆ£The Brits!ŌĆØ ŌĆō each featuring widely popular and memorable music encompassing a variety of styles, genres and eras.
New Cuisine
Two new dining options debut on Breeze. CarnivalŌĆÖs first full-service sushi restaurant, Bonsai Sushi offers a wide variety of Asian-inspired delicacies with a contemporary decor featuring artwork by world-renowned graffiti artist Erni Vales, colorful koi kites flown during impromptu celebrations, and, of course, several Bonsai trees. Located along Promenade Deck, Bonsai Sushi includes a number of varieties of sushi, sashimi, and rolls along with bento boxes and the venueŌĆÖs own interpretation of a sushi boat ŌĆō in this case, a sushi ŌĆ£shipŌĆØ ŌĆō with prices ranging from $1 for appetizer-sized portions to $15 for a sushi ship for two.
Also, Fat JimmyŌĆÖs C-Side BBQ is reminiscent of a backyard barbecue. This complimentary open-air dining venue located on Promenade Deck offers a mouth-watering array of grilled favorites, including barbecued chicken breast, kielbasa, Italian sausage, and Fat JimmyŌĆÖs signature item, pulled pork sandwiches, along with traditional sides like baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw and mini-corn muffins.
ThereŌĆÖs a lot more onboard so stay tuned for more live blogs from Carnival Breeze.

Claire Daly may be a "new" name in jazz, but she's hardly new to the music scene she's been at it for nearly 30 years now. Daly's accumulated a stunning array of compliments from the press. Like most professional musicians, she's had to play her share of "pay the rent" gigs, but she's never lost her heart for jazz. Daly's discography as a leader began with the release of Swing Low on Koch Jazz in 1999, followed by her most recent release, Movin' On (also on Koch, 2001). Indeed, Cla …

David Weiss is a jazz trumpeter - and happy to be known that way. But don't try to force him into either the hard bop or avant-garde fields. When it comes to his favorite musical pastures, Weiss is squarely on the fence between the two or Walkin' the Line, as the inspired title of one of his recent CDs puts it and he's quite happy to be there. Listen to his latest release, Breathing Room, and you'll understand what he means. This is real jazz, eminently listenable, but it's not …

SOURCE International Development Research Centre
OTTAWA, March 18, 2013 /CNW/ - Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and Environment Canada (EC) today announced 12 new projects to help Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean address threats to water resources resulting from a changing climate.
The Adaptation Research Initiative in Asia (ARI-Asia) and the Adaptation Research Initiative in Latin America and the Caribbean (ARI-Americas) are two three-year initiatives of $10 million each which aim to build a strong base of evidence on adaptation options to safeguard water resources and to inform decision-makers about the most effective use and targeting of climate change funding.
"With our fast-start financing, we are supporting important and innovative initiatives, such as the ones that are being carried out by ARI-Americas and ARI-Asia through the International Development Research Centre," said Canada's Environment Minister Peter Kent. "These efforts will help developing countries be better equipped to deal with climate change, and we are very proud of the work we are doing in this area."
ARI-Asia and ARI-Americas will focus on critical adaptation issues ranging from the frequency and intensity of floods and droughts, to the availability and use of water resources with goal of informing strategies to improve planning, coordination, and decision-making to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
"From floods, to drought, and landslides, water-related disasters are increasingly frequent and severe," says IDRC Acting President Jean Lebel. "ARI-Asia and ARI-Americas will help scientists develop strategies that will help the world's most vulnerable adapt to a changing climate where we're bound to see increased pressure on water resources."
ARI-Asia and ARI-Americas builds on the success of IDRC's adaptation research in Africa, which with $10 million in fast-start financing, supports seven projects through the African Adaptation Research Centres initiative. This programming is managed by IDRC as part of the Government of Canada's $1.2 billion commitment to fast-start financing promised under the Copenhagen Accord.
Journalists and the public can join in the conversation through Twitter and Facebook.

About IDRC
A key part of Canada's aid program, the International Development
Research Centre (IDRC) supports research in developing countries to
promote growth and development. IDRC also encourages sharing this
knowledge with policymakers, other researchers, and communities around
the world. The result is innovative, lasting local solutions that aim
to bring change to those who need it most.
New Projects: Adaptation Research Initiative in Asia and Adaptation Research Initiative in Latin America and the Caribbean (ARI-Americas)
From the flooded streets of Bangkok, the eroding coastlines of the Caribbean, to the melting glaciers of the Andes and Himalayas, the impacts of climate change continue to affect communities and threaten critical water resources. The Adaptation Research Initiative in Asia (ARI-Asia) and the Adaptation Research Initiative in Latin America and the Caribbean (ARI-Americas) is managed by IDRC as part of the Government of Canada's $1.2 billion commitment to fast-start financing promised under the Copenhagen Accord.
The projects will run for three years and are valued at $10 million total for each region.
In Guyana, Grenada, Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad, researchers will assess how climate change might affect the frequency and intensity of floods, droughts, and the availability and use of water resources. In Thailand, researchers will focus on providing evidence to improve planning, coordination, and decision-making to help safeguard lives and livelihoods in the event of floods like the one in Bangkok in 2011 that left 800 people dead and caused an estimated $47 billion in damages. In Central America, where cities are growing and drought is increasing, researchers will investigate the 24,000 community-based organizations that supply drinking water and consider how they could adapt their practices to maximize water security for rural and sub-urban residents.
