In the 1950s Hungary utilized a classic socialist economic system, one patterned on that of the Soviet Union in the 1930s and '40s. This was successful in turning an agricultural country into an industrial nation. But by the beginning of the 1960s, results diminished. "We realized," one economist said, "that if we wanted to continue the economic development of our country, we had to change our methods."
So in 1968 the state introduced the New Economic Mechanism, a set of rules that to a degree decentralized planning and control, reinstated the profit motive, allowed the functioning of supply and demand, investment and permitted accumulation of individual wealth. For more information visit citrusnorth.com
"I think our system is unique," the economist said. "And the reason is that our position in the socialist bloc is unique. Almost 50 percent of our national income is based on foreign trade. So we are obliged to have a very elastic, very flexible system."
POOR in natural resources, save for its good earth and bauxite, Hungary must import (petroleum, natural gas, automobiles). To pay for those imports, it must export (pharmaceuticals, buses, axles, salami, wheat, alumina). About half the trade is with nonsocialist nations.
In the scramble for foreign earnings Hungary vigorously seeks joint enterprises with Western companies and searches for new markets. The French and Italians like very much the taste of white rabbits? Well, send them 40 million dollars' worth a year. Send them also doves, pigeons, goose liver.
Does the world seek new novelties? Send it a rather curious toy, the Rubik's Cube.
I caught up with Ern6 Rubik at the Academy of Applied Arts in Buda, where he is a professor. I had read somewhere that he had created the cube as a tool to help his students; I expected an old, kindly, possibly distracted gentleman. Instead I found a 38-year-old father of two, of moderate height, with a finely wrought face, quick eyes, clad in brown slacks and sweater and open-necked shirt. In the cabin of a jetliner, where he is often found nowadays, you might mistake him for a French entrepreneur, bound to or from a ski holiday.
I asked if indeed he had developed his cube as a teaching aid. "Everything a teacher does is related to the teaching process." But a teacher is human like everyone else, and he creates for himself as well as for others. "I could say the reason I started to be active in this field is simply my own character. You could say it grew out of my profession. I am an architect and an interior designer."
Of his earnings (more than 30 million cubes have thus far been produced) he would only say: "In my case, which would characterize the situation of other inventors also, I get a certain share of the sales. Of course, in the case of the cube, which is so popular, the profit is quite large."
Yes, he has other ideas, new ones, and is pursuing them. Among them a book.
Though only two of the 12 riders completed the five-day, 150-mile ride, all teamed up again to ride at the Royal Show on July 10—very proud of the £7,500 they'd raised for Riding for the Disabled.
One of the two who finished was Mrs Irene Benjamin (pictured right with Banjo), vice-president of the Ladies' Side-Saddle Association, who organised the event. Irene herself is disabled after a riding accident three years ago. Told she'd never walk again, she decided to conduct her own therapy, riding a little each day until in 1979 "I baffled my doctors by walking again."
She still suffers much pain, but nonetheless pursues an active life, riding six days a week. It was her own experience that made her realise the immense help a horse can be. "Disabled people need extra interests, attention and love—and this is what countless children and adults are getting from Riding for the Disabled groups around the country. It's entirely supported by volunteers who lend ponies and give their time,- says Irene. For more information, write to: Riding for the Disabled, British Equestrian Centre, Stoneleigh, Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
Stopping the car on the roadside in the wilds of Scotland, my husband and I, with our six-yearold son, got out to have a short walk, but our son soon appeared nervous and ill at ease. "Is it safe to walk here?" he asked, looking round anxiously. "Of course it is," we reassured him. "Why shouldn't it be?" "What about the killer sheep?" he asked—and pointed out a roadside notice that read: "Danger. Beware of killing sheep".—Mrs M P,
This dashing-looking character is "Mr Sheen" and, despite his racy appearance, he's been designed to help make children aware of road safety—through a board game produced by the makers of Mr Sheen polish, Reckitt Household Products, in association with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. Players have to get their Mr Sheen safely "home" from "school", avoiding hazards and earning bonuses for good safety conduct or penalties for bad habits. With each game comes a chance to enter a Mr Sheen painting competition, with Premium Bond prizes. And it's all free—for two product labels sent to Reckitt.
What has happened to all those beautiful warm woollen skirts that we used to be able to buy ? They were so thick that you could happily go out in one with a jacket or three-quarter length coat and not feel as if the north wind were blowing through you. It seems to me that over the past 10 years the quality has gone down: the material in skirts has got steadily thinner and the price higher. Come on, manufacturers and fashion buyers—bring back our warm skirts!

When a charming young Canadian bride came to live here and attend our church, we all liked her accent. It only once led to misunderstanding. Just before a service she came quickly down the aisle and whispered to the verger: "Someone's caught an adder in our pew." Not one to shirk his duty, the brave man squared his shoulders and marched to the attack—only to find that the bell-ringer had left his "coat and hat" in their pew!

"Are we giving our children a poorer education by letting them drop subjects too early?" asks Mrs J Hyde of Stockport, Cheshire. "As the mother of two teenage children I am worried about the accounts of falling academic standards. I wonder if our children are not getting education in basic subjects for long enough.
"At my children's school, pupils are allowed to drop almost any subject they want, from the age of 14. I do realise that it is necessary for pupils to decide on their examination options, but surely this is too early an age for them to give up, say, history or biology. I know many teenagers who are studying complex subjects such as computer studies instead of literature or geography, and while I believe that these subjects may be useful in the future, I also feel they should have an all-round knowledge of basic things.
"And there are certain ironies. My 15-year-old daughter has to play netball (which she hates), yet she may give up any academic subject apart from mathematics or English language. Is anyone else disturbed by this, or am I just being old-fashioned ?"
Cookery is always popular at our local playgroup and consequently there were lots of squabbles amongst the children as to whose turn it was to take part, until the playgroup leader thought up a good idea to stop this.
She started a kitchen band for the children not taking part in the cookery activity. Kitchen implements are hung onto a strong line and the children beat these with wooden spoons. In the background the egg-beater whirrs and the timer pings. Now the kids are happy to wait until their turn comes to cook.

It's probably one of the most famous villages in Britain, and to millions of people it's both familiar and well-loved, even though they've never been there. It is, of course, Ambridge, home of "The Archers" of BBC Radio 4 fame; and as regular listeners will know, Jennifer Aldridge and John Tregorran have been writing a book about it You may have thought that the book was just part of the story in the radio serial—but you'd have been wrong. Everything you'd want to know is contained within its well-researched pages. a description of the county, Borsetshire; lots of pictures; and a complete history of Ambridge from Roman times to the present day. Did we hear someone say that Ambridge does not exist, nor the Archers? It matters not. Here is a world as vividly created as any, and for those who love and feel part of it, here is the English village of everyone's imagination.
When Princess Alexandra visited a festival for the disabled earlier this year, it was a Royal occasion—and a proud day for Mrs Betty Simpson (at the bottom right in our picture, above). Betty, 54, who is both blind and disabled, had organised a trip for the blind club of which she is a member, to the festival at Carver Barracks, near Saffron Walden, Essex. Guests were entertained by the 13/18 Royal Hussars, and the highlight of their day was when Princess Alexandra stopped to have a joke and a laugh with them.
Betty, too, is always laughing, despite her handicaps, and always active. As well as her involvement with the blind club, she's a member of the Essex Physically Handicapped Association, does basketwork and knitting, and is still kept busy with her husband, three sons and four grandchildren. Says Betty, "I love organising things." And long may she continue!
When I was three years old, / went to stay with my grandmother while my mother went into hospital to have what was to be my baby brother.
I don't remember this incident myself, but I'm told that I was in the room when my mother telephoned with news of the birth. She told my grandmother to keep it a secret, so it would be a surprise to me when I first saw my brother. "Keep your voice down," my grandmother told her. "There's a little pig with big ears here."
After the phone call she turned to me. "Well, we've got a surprise coming for you in a few days' time," she said.
"I already know what it is," I replied. "It's a little pig with
big ears !" —Ms J E L, Hundon, Suffolk
Having just pulled myself up from the second bout of depression and exhaustion I've had in my long life, I'd like to pass on my encouragement and "cure" for anyone else suffering as I did. It often isn't easy to recognise depression. You don't necessarily even feel "down" ; it's just that your "get up and go" has got up and gone, and you can be in a very low state mentally and physically. This can be caused by any number of things—and pills are not the answer (although they may help).
The thing is to fix a target, however small, and try to cap it each day. It may be a tremendous effort even to wash up a cup the first day, but next day it could be two, plus another little task. Eat regularly, little but often. Make a deliberate effort to turn thoughts outwards; people wrapped up in themselves make small parcels. Try to do something for someone else each day (and we can all do something, even if only pray). In this way I've progressed from when I could only sit around and doze, to "my finest hour" when I not only got down on hands and knees and gave a grubby carpet a massive "summer clean", but managed to pull in the laundry I'd done (by hand) two days earlier. It wasn't easy but, by golly, I fell into bed tired out and very happy and thankful. I hope others take heart from my experience.
—Miss E C, Nottingham

Take part in the OddJob tool giveaway!
Happy weekend!
I've just reviewed the OddJob tool by Crescent. It's a compact 11-in-1 tool that is pretty handy to have around the house. Great for quick fixes, like tightening a wobbly IKEA stool (it has a hex bit), hammering in a nail and other minor touch-ups.
Cresent is giving away a set of the OddJob tool to a lucky reader too. You can read my full review and take part in the giveaway here.

I like the tool fine. I don't mind the occasional commercial giveaway either. What I don't like is coming to this site only to read that I have to go to another site to finish reading. Arrgh... I can't stand FB's annoyingly cluttered and juvenile look. Got rid of my FB a long time ago. Hallelujah...
Your blog is great Jules, please keep it as is.
Tina Hi Wendi and Anonymous, the only reason I have to use FB to run the giveaway is because I don't collect emails on this blog and would have no way to contact the winner. FB makes that possible.

On the FB feed there's one which links back to this post and one which leads back to the jules.ikeahackers review. They both have a lot of replies, so it's obvious I'm not the only one who is confused.

fuel usage to accelerate to 20 mph |

fuel usage to accelerate to 20 mph
In an effort to approach the EPA on the subject of eliminating unnecessary stop signs in an effort to reduce fuel consumption nationally, I am trying to determine approximately how much fuel is required to accelerate from a dead stop to 20 mph. With all the variables (vehicle weight, acceleration rate, etc.) , I would simply like to take a small car (3000 lbs) that would normally be in the 30mpg range for city driving at a "normal" acceleration rate. With such a number in hand, calculating the minimum fuel savings given the traffic counts at any given stop sign could be easily computed. I strongly suspect that there are millions of unnecessary stop signs in the U.S., and that eliminating them would save many millions of gallons of wasted fuel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to PF.
Do you know Newton's equations of motion? The definition (mathematical) of work? You'll need to make an assumption about how fast the acceleration is, but after that, it is a pretty straightforward calculation. Why don't you give it a try and we'll see if/where you get hung up. |

I think this site is out of my depth. In math I didn't get much beyond the Pythagorean Theorem, and finding the hypotenuse doesn't seem to be germaine to the problem. Looks like Plan B, empirical data, is in my future. If I accelerate my car to 20mph, then decelerate to 0mph 100 times, then refill my tank, then drive the same route at 20mph, filling my tank a second time, I can get my answer (and wear out my brakes.) Thank you for responding, though. Sincerely, Zane Suedmeyer

fuel usage to accelerate to 20 mph
I don't think this experiment will give reasonable data with just 100 stops.
The kinetic energy of 1000kg, moving at 10m/s (a bit more than 20mph), is E=1/2mv^2 = 50kJ. Cars are quite inefficient, so we can assume at least 100kJ required energy in the fuel. Petrol has an energy density of about 35MJ/l, therefore 100kJ correspond to 1/350l or about 3ml. With 1.4€ to 1.7€ per liter (roughly the price in Germany), this costs 0.4 to 0.5 (euro)cents. All calculations are easy without a calculator. SI units are so nice ;). |

You might want to consider converting mfb's excellent answer in to CO2 emissions. You would have a politically more attractive argument if you use CO2 rather than cents.

Only the very largest of ships diesel engines achieve a thermal efficiency of 50% the conversion factor for a car engine is more like 25% at reduced throttle openings.
Feb12-13, 07:52 AM | #8 |
I venture that 70% of the driving population drive in such a way as to negate the advantages of new fuel mileage technologies.
They will not change driving habits to get the most out of the technology. |

Twenty Wishes Could Come True
By: leah Kirstein
Updated: December 10, 2012
DUBOIS, CLEARFIELD COUNTY - Sunny 106. 5 has teamed up with Make A Wish for the 19th annual Light up a Child's Life Campaign. Each year local schools, businesses and individuals raise funds to be donated during the campaign.
By the end of the day Wednesday over $33,000 was raised. This means, 8 Make a Wish children will have their wish granted.
Throughout the week previous Make A Wish kids shared their stories. Josh, said he wanted to go to Disney World to see Winnie the Pooh. He had "fun" and now, wants to help other kids wishes come true by asking you to donate. His catch phrase "howdy" can be heard again Friday morning.
Make A Wish says the granting of a wish can be even more powerful than medical technology and they want to say THANK YOU to the communty for helping the organization create magic and miracles.

Health Information
Test Overview
A gastrin test measures the level of the Reference hormone Opens New Window gastrin in the blood. Gastrin is produced by cells, called G cells, in the stomach lining. When food enters the stomach, G cells trigger the release of gastrin in the blood. As blood levels of gastrin rise, the stomach releases acid (gastric acid) that helps break down and digest food. When enough gastric acid has been produced by the stomach, gastrin levels in the blood drop.
Gastrin also has minor effects on the Reference pancreas Opens New Window, Reference liver Opens New Window, and Reference intestines Opens New Window. Gastrin helps the pancreas produce Reference enzymes Opens New Window for digestion and helps the liver produce Reference bile Opens New Window. It also stimulates the intestines to help move food through the Reference digestive tract Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.
Sometimes a test for gastrin is done after eating a high-protein diet or after receiving an injection of the digestive hormone secretin into a vein. This is called an intravenous secretin test.

Beginning Running
How To Start Running
Beginning running can be a daunting prospect particularly if you've no experience in running and not even sure how far you'll be able to go without stopping.
If your looking for a step by step running guide we can't recommend this beginning running guide enough, it contains nutrition, stretching and exercise plans.
Check it out here.
We hope to dismiss these fears with our tips and most of all get you excited about going out and getting started in the world of running!
Beginning Running – I've never run before what do I do!?
To answer this question I should first make a note that if your particularly unfit or overweight its recommended to first visit a doctor to get a check up and explain to them what your doing.
Once you get the OK you should start running by first finding some good supporting running shoes and learning the Proper Running Form.
Now you're geared up and know good form but your unsure of how far you're actually be able to run? When you first start running its advised you do a short run and aim for around a mile but certainly don't feel bad in taking walk breaks, its actually recommended.
If you feel you're getting out of breath or feel sick slow right down and take another walk break – again theres no shame in doing this and certainly don't feel like you have to outrun the other joggers!
Beginning Running – Stretching & Eating
Ensure you stretch fully before running and after! So many people at gyms don't bother since its "not cool" to be touching your toes while everyone else patrols round. But stretching will make your run more enjoyable and particularly the day after it! Not forgetting the reduced risk of strains and pulls.
You should also avoid eating a heavy meal within an hour of your run as this may cause cramps when running.
Beginning Running
Okay you've gone for your first run now what do you do?
The day after your first run you can expect a little soreness, so take a hot shower and use some deep heat if needed. Stretching can also reduce muscle tension.
You should take at least a 24hr break between your runs and when beginning running aim to run twice a week. By having a break your body will be able to recover and rebuild this is essential if your ever going to improve so don't overdo it, so try and avoid running until your body has completely recovered.
Beginning Running – Mile aim
Now aim to complete your mile run without stopping this may take some time so don't freak out if it takes you a few weeks or longer.
Once you can run a mile aim for slight increases on each run and your be running farther than you ever imagined! If your looking for specific running plans which have been designed with beginners in mind check out: Run Further, Faster and for Longer.
Beginning Running
Tips For Improved Motivation & Fitness
- Run With A Friend
- Beginning Running – Run on the flat!
- Beginning Running – If Running To Loose Weight…
- Beginning Running – Set Yourself A Goal
- Beginning Running – Don't Forget The Fantastic Benefits
- Enjoy It
Beginning running with friends is a fantastic way to naturally motivate you (particularly if your competitive!) if you can find someone who is also new to running you're be able to enjoy getting more fit and being able to run for longer together.
If you can't find a friend why not joining one of the many local running clubs? A simple Google search such as "Your town running club" will likely produce results.
When you first start running you should aim to run on flat locations since hills (both up and down!) dramatically change the pace and difficulty of running.
Remember you didn't get out of shape in two weeks so don't expect to get back in shape in two weeks, please be persistent, keep your training up and be sure not to over do it and burn out when you start beginning running.
Please remember running burns roughly 100 Calories per mile, so if your keen to loose weight reducing your food intake (particularly high fat, produced and snack food) will dramatically help you loose weight (when combined with exercise).
If you've never run before aim to run a mile without stopping in a certain time period. Focus on your goal and remember why you started running.
Beginning running has been proven to help you sleep better, loose weight and live longer. What else do you do that can say that?
"The journey is better than the destination" enjoy your training and look forward to the day you can look back and relish in your hard work.
I hope you got something out of my page on beginning running. Learning to run and get fit needn't be difficult and daunting if your looking for further tips to dramatically improve the time it takes you to get fit and enjoy running I highly recommend you check out: Run Further, Faster And For Longer

Those with both schizophrenia and alcohol problems are the most likely to commit violent acts. Violence is one of the reasons someone with schizophrenia needs hospitalization.

The five photographs taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths from 1917-1920 in the village of Cottingley, Yorkshire, England. In 1983 the two cousins admitted that the pictures were faked using paper cutouts; Frances, however, insisted that that the final photograph, showing a group of faeries gathering in the grass, was genuine. The girls also maintained that, although the photographs might be hoaxed, they still witnessed faeries dancing at the bottom of their garden. The pictures still continue to mystify and enchant people even today.

Former college leader found dead after allegations of embezzlementFebruary 21,2013The former acting president of Southern Vermont College has killed himself after being accused of embezzling $400,000 from the school, police said Thursday.
Vermont State Police said James Beckwith was found dead in his home Wednesday by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Beckwith, the former chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the small liberal arts school, was accused of taking the money between October 2012 and January, depositing it into his personal account, and using $260,000 to pay down two mortgages on his South Londonderry home.
The U.S. Attorney's office said Thursday it filed a complaint alleging the home and account are forfeitable as proceeds of mail fraud and as property involved in money laundering.

Exploring the Absecon Lighthouse
Sunday, June 12th, 2011One of the best views of Atlantic City can not be found in a posh casino hotel room. It is found, rather in New Jersey's tallest Lighthouse. The Absecon Lighthouse is 150 years old, and one of Atlantic City's Historical Family Attractions.
You and your family can take a journey up the 228 steps of one of the countries oldest lighthouses. Stop on each landing and peer out the windows as you make your way to the top. Atop the lighthouse you'll see the original first- order Fresnel Lens, first lit in 1857.
Step out side on the landing for breathtaking views of Atlantic City and the Atlantic Ocean. Parents there's no need to fret as the top open landing is encased in bars, and the bars are to close for little heads to fit. You children will OOOO and AAAAHHH with excitement and all there is to see.
Hours of Operation:
Fall/Winter hours:
Open Thursdays through Mondays 11am- 4pm
Last Climb is at 3:30pm
September – June
Thursdays through Mondays, 11am to 4pm
Closed Tuesday & Wednesday
July & August
Open daily 10am to 5pm
Closed on major holidays
Cost to Climb the Lighthouse:
Adults $7
Children 4-12 $4
3 & under Free
Active military FREE
Dogs are welcome
The Local Lowdown:
The Lighthouse is a great place for you and your family to stop and check out. My kids had fun climbing to the top and beating Mom and Dad. The 228 steps are not too bad to scale. However, it can be quite a bit for some. There are ladings all the way up for resting. The steps are large and easy to manage.
My two year old did climb all the way up, however I had to carry him all the way down. My 6 and 8 year old went up twice!
When you get to the top a lighthouse attendant will hand you a small card. The card states that you made it! Save this card. When you visit Lucy the Elephant flash your accomplishment, and you'll get a discount on admission.
There is a small gift shop and museum. Very small. My little ones were not at all interested in anything in the museum. There are bathrooms located in a small building behind the Lighthouse. There is also free parking in the small lot behind the lighthouse. Everytime we've visited the staff has always been delightful.
Your Lighthouse visit will not be an all day event. Climbing to the top and seeing all there is to see will probably take you any where from 30 mins to an hour tops.
On the lighthouse grounds there's a life guard row boat. This is a great spot for family pics. If everyone looks, oh well, better luck next time!
The Absecon Lighthouse does host some fun family events. Check out their calendar to see whats going on during your visit to AC.

Soap fans and stars celebrate the news on Twitter, 'GMA' to expand
Soap opera fans have been targeting "The Revolution" as a means to save "General Hospital," and even Katie Couric took a stand against having that show as a lead-in for her upcoming ABC talk show, launching this fall. Now, it looks like they're getting what they wanted. Word comes that "General Hospital" will stick around and "Good Morning America" will launch an afternoon summer show, while "The Revolution" is getting the proverbial ax. Needless to say, "General Hospital" fans and stars are doing the happy dance on Twitter.
Bing: More on "GMA" | "General Hospital" | Katie Couric
Since "The Revolution" took over the "One Life to Live" time slot, the transformational talk show hasn't managed to build a following. Soap fans feared ABC would stick by the show, in spite of its paltry ratings, and cancel "General Hospital," but MSN TV has confirmed the big news broken by Deadline.
"The Revolution" will go off the air the first week of July. And then, on July 9, "GMA" will continue its campaign to take down "Today" by launching a summer series, currently titled "GMA in the Afternoon." The new show will be lighter in fare than its namesake and will feature members of the "GMA" morning crew, as well as some new faces, according to Deadline.
The idea seems to be that "GMA in the Afternoon" will serve as temporary filler, until "Kate" premieres Sept. 10. But if it performs, it's hard to believe ABC will let it go.
The "General Hospital" Twitter Party
In the meantime, "General Hospital" is safe and will survive to see its 50th anniversary next April, which has fans and castmembers spinning on Twitter. Here are a few of the posts:
Maurice Benard: "I just heard we're going to keep going. What can you say about Frank, Ron, the crew and everybody at General Hospital? Im just so damn proud" and "I also wanna thank the audience, which means the fans, for turning this around because the bottom line is ratings"
Laura Wright: "Wooo hooo Hell Yeah!!! GH Stays!!!! Thanks so much to @valentinifrank @carlivatiron. And all the fans!!!!! #GH rocks!"
Steve Burton: "Much luv to the fans for keeping #GH Alive. Congrats to all."
Nancy Lee Grahan: "One year renewal! Thank you ABC, GH fans, and @valentinifrank and @carlivatiron. What a difference! Upward! ... @MauriceBenardMB we left too early today. They're all whooping it up on set right now! xoxo"
Bradford Anderson: "Congrats to all! And thanks to our incredible viewers!!"
"One Life to Live" veteran Farah Fath may have put it best: "ABC cancels OLTL replacement The Revulsion. mm-hmm... It's hard to even muster up an 'We told you so.' smh. #DUHHHH!!!!!! Congrats to General Hospital cast and crew! A soap renewal in 2012 is nothing short of victorious."
"General Hospital" and "The Revolution" air weekdays on ABC.
Get the latest on Michelle Stafford, Hunter Tylo, Rena Sofer and more familiar names
A flood of casting updates for "The Young and the Restless," "The Bold and the Beautiful," "Days of Our Lives" and "General Hospital" have soap opera fans buzzing about Michelle Stafford, Hunter Tylo, Chrishell Stause, Darin Brooks, Rena Sofer and other familiar daytimers. Here's a roundup on who's coming and going on each of the big four soap operas during the end of May and into summer.
Bing: More about "Young and the Restless" | 'Bold and the Beautiful' | "General Hospital" | "Days of Our Lives"
MSN TV has the buzz on Michelle Stafford's status with "The Young and the Restless," as well as news on which shows nabbed "General Hospital" alums Rena Sofer (ex-Lois), Jen Lilley (ex-Maxie) and Erin Chambers (ex-Siobhan); "Days of Our Lives" Emmy winner Darin Brooks (ex-Max); and "All My Children" ex-pat Chrishell Stause (ex-Amanda). Plus, what's going on with "Bold and the Beautiful" locals Hunter Tylo (Taylor), Zak Conroy (Oliver) and Ashley Jones (Bridget)?
NOTE: Airdates may be affected by preemptions caused by special news reports on event like the Oklahoma City tornado.
"The Young and the Restless"
The big news coming out of Genoa City is that Daytime Emmy nominee and fan favorite Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) is exiting. While the story has gone viral, however, neither CBS nor Stafford is confirming the news. If in fact Stafford is leaving, there are clearly no hard feelings, as she was out partying with her Sony and CBS bosses after the story broke.
Stafford first signed onto the show in 1994, exiting three years later. Sandra Nelson stepped in as a recast until 1998 and then Stafford returned to cause more trouble in 2000. She also spent a few months doing double duty when villainous Sheila returned looking like Phyllis. During Stafford's 16 years with the show, she's nabbed 10 Emmy Leading Actress nominations, taking home the win in 2004. She also won Outstanding Supporting Actress in 1997.
In other CBS news, "The Bold and the Beautiful" hunk Zack Conroy is taking his character Oliver to "The Young and the Restless" on business. The hot photographer will work with Jabot in crossover episodes airing Tuesday, May 21, and Friday, May 31.
"General Hospital" alum Erin Chambers (ex-Siobhan) is getting into the Genoa City legal scene. She's landed a recurring gig as paralegal Melanie, premiering Thursday, June 6.
A new woman may shake up the Cane/Lily/Tyler drama. Mishael Morgan ("Supernatural," "Total Recall") has joined the show as Hilary Curtis and will first air Friday, June 14, in scenes with Daniel Goddard (Cane) and Christel Khalil (Lily).

"The Bold and the Beautiful"
Lots of big moves are happening on "The Bold and the Beautiful." With two divas out, a brand new pair is joining the show and a fave returns for some drama.
On the heels of news that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) is taking a break from "The Bold and the Beautiful" comes word that her onscreen mom Hunter Tylo (Taylor) is exiting the show.
"Contract talks ended 4 weeks ago," Tylo posted on her message board, though a show rep says they are still in negotiations. "I am moving forward and opening back up to the thousands of acting roles available, writing, and pursuing my skin care line. My friends and 'B&B' fans will be sorely missed. But don't worry! I'll keep you posted of my every new adventure!"
With the mother/daughter team on its way out, there's a new mother/son duo coming to town, and they're packing Daytime Emmys. "Days of Our Lives" alum Darin Brooks arrives on the scene June 21 as newcomer Wyatt and soap veteran Rena Stofer has been tapped to play his mother, Quinn Fuller, first airing Friday, July 12.
"I am so excited to be joining Bold and the Beautiful!! I have always loved daytime and I am so excited to be back!!!" tweeted Sofer, who boasts a healthy list of primetime credits and was last seen on "Once Upon a Time."
There's not much dish on her character Quinn, yet, but word is this pair has some bombshell secrets. Wyatt, for his part, is set shake up the Hope/Liam/Steffy triangle and promises to be a "badass."
"My character, Wyatt, is first seen in the nude taking a solar shower out in the woods," Brooks teased. "Hope stumbles across him and takes his picture on her smartphone and Wyatt catches her… As the story unfolds, he moves into that whole fashion-industry world and you'll find out his connection to everything. It's all very mysterious for now."
Former cast regular Ashley Jones will bring her character Bridget back for a short visit, starting Wednesday, May 22.
"I'm only going in for three or four episodes, as of right now," Jones said. "But there's some fun stuff with Bridget's mom."
The timing makes sense: Brooke is once again pregnant with an in-law's child and trying to get another man to take credit for knocking her up - As fans recall, the last time this happened, it was Bridget's then-hubby Deacon who knocked Brooke up and Whip who took credit. It sounds like Jones (who has been dating former onscreen hubby Jack Wagner!) would be open to the idea of sticking around town, as long as there was a juicy story lined up for her.
"I feel like this is too cool a character to come back and just sit in the background," she explained.

"Days of Our Lives"
Salem has quite a few soap hoppers coming to town.
"All My Children" alum Chrishell Stause has signed on for a mysterious new role and will show up in Salem mid-summer.
"I couldn't be happier!" Stause tweeted. "My bags are packed-moving to Salem!"
"General Hospital" alum Jen Lilley (ex-Maxie) will heat up "Days of Our Lives," starting in July. Lilley earned props from Port Charles fans during her stint covering for Kirsten Storms last year, but don't get ahead of yourselves "Days of Our Lives" fans. Lilley is not a recast for Belle, the role that launched Storm's career years ago.
Nadia Bjorlin's Chloe will be back for a few episodes toward the ends of summer.
Meanwhile, with Casey Deidrick's (Chad) contract up in June, buzz suggests he could be on his way out. The show may even be recasting the role, but neither he nor the show have confirmed this rumor.
"General Hospital"
With summer approaching, Samantha Logan ("666 Park Avenue") has joined the "General Hospital" teen scene as Felix's younger sister, Taylor DuBois. The newcomer will shake up the Rafe, Molly and T.J. triangle.
"Not everything can be a triangle, so there will be another girl thrown into the mix," teased headwriter Ron Carlivati.
'Ugly Betty' star being considered for 'Romeo and Juliet'-like series
America Ferrera and ABC could reunite.
The actress, who rose to fame on the network's telenovela-style drama "Ugly Betty," is eyeing a new ABC project called "Pedro & Maria," EW.com reports. Inspired by "Romeo and Juliet," the modernized tale is in development and comes from executive producer Ben Silverman ("The Office" and "The Biggest Loser").
Bing: More on 'Pedro & Maria' | America Ferrera
According to the report, instead of the Capulets vs. the Montagues, "Pedro & Maria" will focus on "two opposites cut from the same cloth caught in the trap of forbidden love. He is a second generation Dominican from the mean streets of Washington Heights. She is a Puerto Rican whose parents made millions as real estate developers. It's a clash of the haves and the have-nots, of Main St vs. Wall St, set against a volatile cultural backdrop that fiercely believes neither side should mix with the other."
Plus: 'Dancing With the Stars' finale preview | 'Felicity': Where are they now? | 'The Bachelorette' Season 9
Silverman also produced "Ugly Betty," which aired from 2006-2010, and like the series, "Pedro & Maria" will have a telenovela format. The drama was initially pitched as an interactive series that would allow viewers to vote and choose the direction of the characters and story lines, but it's unknown if that is still a variable.
Paul Lee, ABC's entertainment president, said the network will explore limited-series projects to fill the gap created by hiatuses for hits such as "Scandal" and "Once Upon a Time." Lee made the announcement at last week's upfronts presentation and added that ABC's top-rated series will be clustered into tight runs with all-original episodes for up to 12 weeks at a time. He didn't say "Pedro & Maria" has received the green light yet, but the show and its proposed short-run make it a strong candidate within ABC's new landscape of fewer reruns.
Greg, Peter and Cindy celebrate 40th anniversary of theme park adventure episode
Susan Olsen (Cindy), Christopher Knight (Peter) and Barry Williams (Greg) returned to Kings Island in Ohio for a mini-reunion Sunday, May 19. The "Brady Bunch" alumni celebrated the 40th anniversary of the 1973 episode that saw one of TV's most celebrated blended families go on summer vacation at the amusement park.
Bing: More about "The Brady Bunch" | Watch clips and episodes of "The Brady Bunch"
Fans packed the 844-seat venue for four mini-reunions that featured Williams, Christopher and Olsen sharing behind-the-scenes stories, memories and classic clips. Retro TV fans also got to shake hands, get autographs and strike a pose with the stars for $20.
Plus: 'Dancing With the Stars' finale preview | 'Felicity': Where are they now? | 'The Bachelorette' Season 9
During the reunion, former wild child Knight, now 55, quipped that he didn't remember much from that time, but enjoyed hearing about the good old days from fans. Olsen, 51, gave fans a time check when she talked about her 16-year-old son with a Mohawk.
Williams, 58, was reportedly the star of the reunion. In addition to emceeing the event, he gave fans a bit of his classic Johnny Bravo and then shared his re-written version of "The Real Slim Shady," "The Real Greg Brady." He rewrote the Eminem song in order to explain his popularity with strangers to his son. The idea sounds a bit ridiculous and the track did not impress his son, but the video is not all that bad.

New Season 8 trailer suggests the serial killer's sister gets chatty
Season 7 of Showtime's hit serial-killer drama, "Dexter," ended with Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) making a horrible choice. It's a choice that changed her life and the way she looked at her brother, Dexter (Michael C. Hall), forever.

When the beloved series returns in June, for its eighth and final season, Deb's decision continues to haunt her as her life takes a downward spiral. But what will Deb do? Will she confess and turn in herself and Dexter, too? That's certainly what the show's newly released trailer suggests. Check it out:
"Dexter" Season 8 debuts Sunday, June 30, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.
Juicy conclusion and spoilers for next season dominate Twitter and the web
SPOILER ALERT: This post includes plot points from the Season 2 finale of "Scandal."
To call "Scandal" a guilty pleasure after Thursday night's delicious Season 2 finale would be a misnomer. After all, why should anyone feel guilty for watching what was arguably one of TV's most gratifying and twist-filled closers this year?
Not only did fans see mole Billy Chambers get his comeuppance but the rise and painful fall of Olivia (Kerry Washington) and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) once again. This, after Olivia devised such an awe-inspiring divorce package for Fitz and Mellie (Bellamy Young). The bit on Mellie being labeled a racist was a thing of beauty in and of itself. But the best part was when viewers learned that Rowan (Joe Morton), the underhanded CIA-B613 boss, is none other than Olivia's dad. Whaaaaat!
This revelation and all the other juicy twists and turns -- including Quinn's (Katie Lowes) penchant for torture and Cyrus' (Jeff Perry ) heart attack and break-up abilities -- captured the attention of 9.1 million viewers. Many of these same viewers flocked to Twitter, GetGlue and the web to give voice to their shocks and delights.
Plus: 'Felicity': Where are they now? | 'The Bachelorette' Season 9 | What we learned from 'The Office'
"Exhausted after the #Scandal finale," tweeted fan Mona Scott-Young. "I feel like I've been 'fixing,' drilling & went into cardiac arrest my damn self! #Wow!!" Meanwhile, Lena Dunham got in on the action, too. Not one to be excluded from a good time she tweeted, "Not leaving the house this weekend until I'm caught up on Scandal. I feel left behind & left out like the last girl to get my period."
And if you think the Season 2 finale was a head-spinner, creator and executive producer, Shonda Rhimes, promises a Season 3 filled with more suspense and intrigue, especially when it comes to Rowan and Olivia's troubled father-daughter relationship.
"At the very least, Rowan was trying to get Jake (Scott Foley) to have sex with her and then make a tape of it, which seems creepy on many levels, right?" Rhimes told reporters at a "Scandal" event the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences held Thursday night. "I don't know if they were trying to kill her. That's up to interpretation."
Rhimes also said she and the writers considered an ending where Olivia and Fitz spooned in bed and ended up together but, ultimately, they wanted Olivia to have clean hands. "It was charming, adorable and really, really sexy and I love the scene and maybe one day someone will get to see it," Rhimes said. "But the problem with it was that Olivia put the white hat back on and emotionally you felt like she had found her inner core after losing it so badly. It felt like a cheat -- that we were cheating her out of trying to do something good."
"Scandal" Season 3 kicks off this fall on ABC.
Network says comic-book drama remains in the works
Wonder Woman could get another shot in primetime.
"Amazon," the CW's prequel starring the beloved comic-book hero, is in development still, even though it didn't land on the network's fall schedule. "It's being redeveloped," said Mark Pedowitz, the CW's president, following an upfronts presentation Thursday. "We don't want to produce something (inferior). It's the trickiest of all the DC characters."
The original "Wonder Woman" with Lynda Carter aired on ABC from 1975-79. David E. Kelley and NBC attempted to reboot the series, starring Adrianne Palicki in the iconic title role (pictured), for the 2011-12 season but the project died on the vine. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. TV sent out a casting call for a young woman, 5'8" or above, for a series about "the teenage years of the heroine who will become Wonder Woman," EW.com reports.

The description of the show also included details about the heroine hailing from a "secluded country where she was raised as a solider in a brutal environment. Now a stranger in a strange modern big city, she's a fierce warrior with the innocent heart of a romantic and she will fight to the death to make the world safe."
Pedowitz said the "basics" were all there, but the execution needed work. Producers and networks don't usually cast series until a pilot is ordered, but a project like "Amazon" cannot succeed without the right woman in the lead role.
Soap reboot experience remains a work in progress
"All My Children" and "One Life to Live" have remained in the top 10 on Hulu since premiering on April 29, but the online soap reboots are reducing the number of episodes released per week. Viewing patterns indicated the shows were producing too much content for many viewers to consume, so fans can expect two episodes of each show to air each week, starting Monday, May 20.
Bing: More about "All My Children" | "One Life to Live"
New episodes of "All My Children" will now be released Mondays and Wednesdays, with fresh episodes of "One Life to Live" posted Tuesdays and Thursdays. The behind the scenes series "More" will run as a single show on Fridays.
"When it comes to online, as with all new technology, it's adapt or fail," Prospect Park explained in a news release. "We feel fortunate to be an online company and to have such an opportunity to adapt. Of course, we will continue to evaluate all the data that comes in and will be vigilant about revising our strategy as needed."
The change stems from viewing patterns that have emerged during the first month of streaming. First, fans have been binge viewing or watching on demand, usually during the weekend: That means many fans have been trying to cram five hours of soaps into their weekend. On ABC, fans watched episodes close to their airdate, so they didn't fall as far behind. They also tended to watch only two to three episodes a week. But with the action-packed reboots, it's not as easy to follow when you've missed episodes. Plus, Prospect Park clearly doesn't want fans skipping episodes.
Plus: 'The Bachelorette' Season 9 | What we learned from 'The Office' | 10 reasons to love 'The Mindy Project'
Another interesting shift in viewing was that fans aren't watching both shows. On television, maintaining audience is a key factor, with fans often watching whatever airs next. That doesn't apply on the Internet. Prospect Park likely hopes that, with less to consume, fans will go back to watching both series.
While the shows will release fewer episodes at a time, production will continue at the same pace through mid-June. Prospect Park will focus on editing while productions halts in July, with production resuming in August.

Hulu will continue to stream all current episodes for free so that viewers who've fallen behind can catch up. There is no mention in the release about how this affects iTunes or how the show is performing there.
"All My Children" and "One Life to Live" can be streamed via Hulu, Hulu Plus and iTunes.

[Mission 4.0] Planning

4th Fleet HQ, Nepleslia Prime
Rear Admiral Dominic Valken sat in his office, reading the latest intelligence reports. Most of it was useless garbage. Stuff probably planted by the squids to mislead them. Why was he even being forwarded reports about merchants stumbling upon NMX convoys? Military intelligence was, in Valken's opinion, falling in standards.
It had been over two weeks since 4th Fleet's involvement in the Tange evacuation. The issues he faced now were integrating his new plans for 4th Fleet with the old and making sure that the sailors and Marines under his command understood what he wanted.
Valken had reviewed the 4th Fleet's actions and procedures under Admiral Wazu. A huge amount of autonomy, some of which he had already relinquished, but upon some consideration, it might not be a bad thing to hold onto some of that independence.
That Yui-class Scout's refurbishment would need to be hurried along. Having an organic reconnaissance unit organic to 4th Fleet would be extremely useful.
Valken flipped through another report and halfway through, sat up straighter. This was concrete and reliable. "Drei, summon Sergeant Volkov's squad."
4th Fleet HQ, Nepleslia Prime
Dominic Valken strode into the conference room, large enough to hold sixty people. First here, he noted.
Moments later, Private Bernhard Greer walked in. Valken noted that the man still seemed a little stiff from his injuries and that Private Romero was not hanging off his arm. The relationship between the two puzzled him.
Greer saluted the Admiral, which Valken promptly returned. "Take a seat, Private," he said, walking up to the head of the table.

Phaedra entered the conference room shortly after Bernhard. Upon seeing the Admiral, she saluted him and then headed towards the table. She greeted Bernhard and took a seat across from him near the head of the table.

The telltale metallic thud of heavy booted feet down the hallway announced Rita's arrival before she even walked through the door. It was that pesky five hundred pounds of steel she always carried around, made it hard to be "sneaky." When she stepped through the doorway, she seemed to be in rather good spirits today. There was no frown or scowl on her face, just a stoic expression with raised eyebrows. She was actually interested in why they'd been summoned here.
"Morning, marines."
Rita said, looking over to Bernhard and giving him an upnod, before snapping to attention and giving a salute.
Afterward, she pulled a seat out and carefully sat down, trying not to break the chair with by keeping her weight spread out evenly across the underside of her legs. Some of her weight was on her arms, which were folded flat against the table with her hands clasped in the center.
"So, what have we got, Admiral?"
Over the past two weeks, Rita been acclimating quite well to life in the 4th Fleet. She had made a few friends among the crewmen and even managed to have a laugh or two when one of them lent her a datapad novel called
101 Ways to Squish an Octobrain: The Definitive Guide to Combatting the Mishhuvurthyar Threat
. It was, of course, a satirical novel, which espoused such methods as firing Mishhu out of black powder cannons into woodchippers, dismembering its tentacles before using the still-living remains as a sports ball, or hitting them with a laser-guided frying pan dropped from orbit.

Loud whistling could be heard from the hall before doors closed behind Rita. It was laso getting closer and closer only for its source ot appear in the doorway. Lisa stood at attention and saluted. Big honcho and her new sarge were there after all. She was not sure what to do now so she waited for either admiral or sergeant to put her at ease. Better safe then sorry, she though remembering as that asshole Captain Murderface put her on guard-duty when she could meet Aethersperm. She simply will have to take revenge on him one day for that.

"Have a seat, Marines. I won't start until the majority of your squad is here, Sergeant. And I'll give them... five more minutes. After that, they'll be standing guard duty, midnight shifts," Admiral Valken said to the small group without looking up from his notes.
He was double and triple checking that he had his notes and presentation ready. Even if he didn't, Valken felt that the efforts he made were probably wasted on these enlisted men. All they seemed to need was to be pointed at the enemy and told to kill. Which was probably why they were Marines.
Bernhard grimaced at the sound of midnight shift guard duty. That meant standing outside at night and the week's forecast was rain showers every few hours. That was, in his mind, more depressing than standing in constant rain.
"Bernhard Greer, squad medic," he introduced himself to Lisa and extended a hand.

Cedric entered the room buried in his datapad, with a cigarette (as always) dangling from his lips. When he looked up from his datapad, he immediatelly stuffed it away in to a pocket, and gave a salute to the Admiral and Phaedra. He wasn't so stiff and formal as the newer members of the team seemed to be, but he was still going to be respectful of somebody who had the authority to end his career in a mere moment. Dropping the salute, he took a seat at the table across from Phaedra. He retrieved his datapad once more and held it lazily in his hand resting on the table while he leaned on his other arm, against the arm-rest of the chair he had taken. He looked to Phaedra and gave the squad leader a small nod.
"Sargn't. Good to see you're doing well since I was gone teachin' rookies." He smiled, "At least the squad doesn't seem full of too many holes that weren't here since I was last with all of you."
He then looked to Admiral Valken, "Sir. What do you have for us today?"

Naomi felt sick as she walked down the hallway behind Cedric to meet up with Admiral Valken and the rest of the squad. It wasn't any sickness brought on by fear, or by apprehension. No, she just felt queasy, almost like she'd eaten something bad recently.
Even so, that didn't stop the Marine from puffing away on a cigar, just like always. Some would say that would make her feel worse, but she'd ignore them. She was equally indifferent as to the reason behind having been summoned. It'd be a job of some kind, and they would get it done.
Entering the room behind Cedric and pausing to survey the occupants in her field of vision, Naomi snapped out a salute to the Admiral.
"Afternoon, sir," she said, before moving to take a place beside Cedric, a light trail of smoke following along as she went, as usual.

Valken looked up, putting names to faces. "Staff Sergeant, I do not like repeating myself. We will be waiting until everyone is here before I begin. And kindly put out your smokes, this is not a lounge."
If his reports were accurate, 4th Fleet might be able to pull off this operation and do some real damage to the NMX. But only if they got confirmation of it from the NMX themselves. Therein lay the trickier part and he wanted all of the Marines present before he started. Every detail was crucial and he
did not like repeating himself when it could be avoided.
Plus he also had some good news and that was always best kept for last. Valken returned to his papers.
Laura Romero walked in and saluted before taking a seat next to Naomi. "Did I miss anything?" she whispered. Valken paid no attention to it.
Quickly behind her, Sawyer came in, panting. He had obviously been running to get here. He saluted the Admiral and took a seat when the Admiral continued poring over his paper notes.

Lisa walked to marine introducing himself as Bernard. She shook his hand, "Lisa Simmons, you can see the rank youreself. Dunno what I am yet." She responded and took a seat next to him. She felt like she is new in the classroom. Bernie was the nice kid who welcomed her. Next to him sat some young girl, both sergeants looked busy about themselves. Admiral was the headmaster who frowned on everyone and was all important. Well Lisa did not minded that much. She just hoped they are not hardasses.

"Fuck me." Curtis shivered slightly. He never really dealt well with cold environments. Even the slightly chilly air hanging in the hallway made him shiver, despite the mug of coffee he held in one hand.
It must be my hair,
he thought, reaching up to rub the base of his skull with his free hand.
I'm never going to shave it bald after wearing it long for almost a year, shit.
As Curtis approached the door to the conference room, he tensed himself up in order to shed the relaxed attitude of someone his age and adopt the slightly nervous demeanor of a Private Third Class; still wet behind the years and barely removed from combat training.
As soon as the doors opened, Curtis absentmindedly raised his right hand to salute, only to lower it and transfer the cup of coffee into his other hand. "Private Third Class Kurt Francis, reporting as ordered, sir." Curtis saluted Admiral Valken, locked eyes with him, and took a seat behind Lisa, holding eye contact with the Admiral only briefly before breaking it to look down to put his cup on the ground.
I'm sure we'll be getting to know each other soon
he thought, and while coming back up from putting his coffee down, reached forward to pinch whatever part of Lisa's butt that was unprotected by her seat. "Hey there, gorgeous. Do I get a kiss for saving your ass back in the simulation?"
