George Clooney, could we adore you any more?
"The Monuments Men" actor-producer-director and "Gravity" star, 52, opens up about his celebrity in the December issue of Esquire and, a rarity in the celebrity-profiling sphere, opens his home — the same house that legendary actor Clark Gable lived in — to writer Tom Junod.
Here are a few of our favorite quotes and insights from their interview:
PHOTOS: George Clooney's life in pictures
On family and comedy: "The first thing that I learned — and I understood it at a really young age — was that I could get a laugh. Really early. Because my mother and father are funny. My father's a really funny man, and at the time we were growing up, in the mid-sixties, and I was like 7 years old, they always had dinner parties. ... And my dad would tell, you know, a story, something a little risqué — nothing dirty at all, just a little risqué. And I knew that I could take the next step, right? The little-bit-dirtier version. You know — 'and deep, too!' And the place would explode! And Dad would kick me under the table — but I always knew that I had that in my arsenal."
On being a star: Since Clooney's career catapulted at a relatively later age, he likes to say he "came from somewhere" and "can still fix a fan belt" on a car.
"I had my Aunt Rosie, who was famous and then not, so I got a lesson in fame early on. And I understood how little it has to do with you. And also how you could use it."
PHOTOS: Our favorite ripped Hollywood hotties
On the Russell Crowe "feud" that Matt Damon apparently embellished: "The truth is that [Crowe] did send me a book of poems to apologize for insulting the ... out of me, which he did. He picked a fight with me. He started it for no reason at all. He put out this thing saying, 'George Clooney, Harrison Ford, and Robert De Niro are sellouts.' And I put out a statement saying, 'He's probably right. And I'm glad he told us, 'cause Bob and Harrison and I were also thinking about starting a band, which would also fall under the heading of bad use of celebrity.' And that's when he really went off on me. 'Who the ... does this guy think he is? He's a Frank Sinatra wannabe.' He really went after me. And so I sent him a note going, 'Dude, the only people who succeed when two famous people are fighting is People magazine. What the ... is wrong with you?'
"But then I had a year. Then I had 'Syriana' and 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' and he was gonna see me at the Golden Globes 'cause he was nominated for 'Cinderella Man.' So he sends me a disc of his music and a thing of his poetry. I think he said, 'I was all misquoted,' and I was like, 'Yeah, yeah. Whatever.'"
A bit of insight from the $15-million Obama reelection fundraiser that took place at his Los Angeles home in 2012: "The president came here and there were some people who wanted to meet him. And the president and I are talking to them and they're holding their smartphone cameras up like this. And I'm holding my hand out trying to shake their hand, and they're like, 'Smile.' And I said to the president, I said, 'You know, the oddest thing about what's happening right now is that we've stopped living our lives and we're just recording them.'" (He also likes to hand-write his scripts and doesn't allow cellphones at dinner)
On his big dislike/disapproval of celebrities on Twitter: "If you're famous, I don't — for the life of me — I don't understand why any famous person would ever be on Twitter. Why on God's green earth would you be on Twitter? Because first of all, the worst thing you can do is make yourself more available, right? Because you're going to be available to everybody. But also Twitter. So one drunken night, you come home and you've had two too many drinks and you're watching TV and somebody pisses you off, and you go 'Ehhhhh' and fight back.
"And you go to sleep, and you wake up in the morning and your career is over. Or you're [a jerk]. Or all the things you might think in the quiet of your drunken evening are suddenly blasted around the entire world before you wake up."
On Brad Pitt: "For a long time now, Brad has been the biggest movie star in the world," Clooney said. "He's bigger than me, bigger than DiCaprio. And I really admire how he deals with that. It's not easy for him. But he tries to be the most honest version of Brad Pitt that he can be. And he also remains unavailable. He's still a giant movie star because you can't get to him. That doesn't mean that I don't think of him as incredibly talented and smart and all those things. But you also can't get to him."
On "ER," which kick-started his career at age 33:
"It was a hard, hard job, 'ER.' We were working 16-hour days, five days a week. We were learning Latin, you know, to do the show. But you knew that you were never going to get a second chance to introduce yourself to a wide audience. And I was 33. I wasn't the young one there; I was the oldest one there. So I knew this was my opportunity. I think all the actors were given a bit of an opportunity that summer on a film. I think every one of them was given an opportunity. And I think most of them were so exhausted from the work that they wanted their summer off.
"In fairness, they were also doing a lot. I had the smallest part in the show. And when [Robert Rodriguez's] 'Dusk Till Dawn' came around . . . well, it was a great part for me, because it was a complete departure. And that movie changed everything for me ... ."

Approps panels work on omnibus
Defying expectations, House and Senate appropriations committees are making steady progress in writing an omnibus spending bill for the coming year, hammering away like shipbuilders in the desert, hoping for a winter flood to carry them out to sea.
Defense clerks spent Friday reading out a final agreement of the Pentagon's budget, estimated near $518 billion. The homeland security title could be finished early this week. Agriculture, transportation, housing, justice and science are not far behind. And the push is on to work through the holiday and have most of the legislative text in place soon after Congress returns from Thanksgiving on Nov. 27.
Story Continued Below
It's still a fool's errand in the eyes of many. And for sure, there are outliers.
Talks on the giant labor, education and health chapter are lagging because the chief House Republican negotiator, Rep. Denny Rehberg, was preoccupied so long with his Senate campaign in Montana. But enough progress has been made overall that even a reluctant White House is beginning to take notice of the committees' persistence.
Indeed, if the fiscal cliff debt talks end up requiring more cuts from discretionary spending, an updated omnibus would be a far better vehicle for implementing new savings than the six-month stopgap bill that is keeping the government funded.
A second factor is Hurricane Sandy. Few expect a huge supplemental this winter in the midst of debt talks, but given the devastation in the Northeast, many believe Congress has to act before New Year's Eve to at least release the remaining $5.4 billion in disaster aid reserve funds.
This could be done by including language in the omnibus package. Or as some suggest, the disaster aid bill could become a vehicle to which the larger spending package is attached.
The appropriations leadership was never happy with the deal struck last summer by President Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), which put the whole government under a six-month continuing resolution pegged at $1.047 trillion in annual spending.
From the committees' standpoint, it was a complete betrayal, tossing out months of work for political convenience before the elections. But rather than go off and sulk, the reaction has been to plunge back into writing a massive bill detailing how the $1.047 trillion might be better distributed — with more care than the CR allows.
No one seems discouraged that the same three men — Obama, Boehner and Reid — ultimately will decide whether the end product gets to the floor. Giving up is judged far worse.

I was booted from my state coverage when I was awarded Social Security in July. Which means, I don't have coverage and can't find a carrier who will cover me. I'm so scared. I have notified my senator, the insurance commissioner, and every MS organization I can think of.
Does anyone know where I can go?
Doctors won't see w/out coverage so I can't get a prescription for anything. Where should I be looking?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Glamorous will radiate from room to room within any home decor with the inclusion of each and every rug found within the Skyline collection by Surya. Hand tufted in a brilliant blend of wool and viscose, slightly raised geometric designs will add an element of texture while the viscose accents offer a smooth sparkle both working simultaneously to shine within your space.
To ensure lasting quality and protect durability, specific care must be taken during cleaning, otherwise fiber sprouts can begin to show, creating an unattractive appearance to a once flawless rug. To prevent this, when vacuuming use a low setting and high elevation, and start at the edge of the rug - or, if possible, use hand-held attachments for cleaning.
Over time, however, the fibers within your piece will inevitably begin to weaken. When this occurs, it will become noticeable when yarn pokes out from the rug's edges.
To prevent pulling, it is crucial that you do not simply pull the yarn out; rather, use scissors to cut these weak fibers to maintain the impeccable quality of your Surya rug. If spills occur, immediately tend to the area: blot with a towel to remove moisture and prevent any stain from setting.

Mexican Redknee Tarantula
(Euathlus smithi)
Facts about this animal
The Redknee tarantula is a dark spider with a black abdomen covered with brown-orange guard hairs. The carapace is black giving way to buff-coloured perimeter. The characteristic legs have orange to dark red-orange "knees". It is a large tarantula with males reaching 55 mm in body lrg and with an approximately 150 mm diagonal legspan. Females have a larger body, about 75 mm long. Their diagonal legspan is about 140 mm. Redknee tarantulas are essentially nocturnal. They live on the ground, usually in a burrow. Like other spiders, they use silk for a variety of purposes, e.g sealing leaves together, lining the burrow and making egg cocoons but in general they do not spin webs. The female lays 100-400 eggs. The spiderlings hatch between 1 and a half to 2 and a half months.
Did you know?
that, although they have eight eyes, they do not have great vision, so use their sensitive leg hairs for guidance? Palps on the end of the legs allow the spider to smell, taste and feel.

The traditional collaborative file share has lived its 15-odd–year life well. From its roots in other network OSs, through its proliferation during the explosive growth of Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 file servers, to today, the file share served our needs. But it's fading into the sunset, and a new day is dawning: the era of collaborative document sharing using Windows SharePoint Services document libraries. To grasp the implications of the shift to document libraries, you'll need to understand first why they're destined to replace file shares in most common file sharing scenarios. (Sometimes, file shares still serve the purpose better than document libraries. For a look at these scenarios, see the sidebar "I'm Not Dead Yet!".) From there, you'll need to get a handle on the fundamentals of document library implementation: creating, configuring, and securing libraries and viewing, editing, and monitoring documents in those libraries.
By document libraries, I mean primarily typical information-worker shared folder scenarios, in which groups of users—a team, a department, or even an entire organization—share access to files for day-to-day reference and collaboration. SharePoint document libraries will very likely replace file shares in these scenarios. Document libraries enable capabilities that are crucial to an agile, collaborative enterprise—including checkout and monitoring, which I'll discuss here—as well as version history, content approval, workflow, and remote and offline access, which I'll cover in upcoming articles.
Let's start with how to implement document libraries in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (the process is virtually identical in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007). To create a document library from a standard SharePoint team site, or most other templates, either click View All Site Content in the Quick Launch bar and click Create, or click the Site Actions button and choose Create.
In the Libraries section, you can see what libraries are available, and your first task will be to determine what type of library you require. Document libraries are the closest equivalent to traditional, collaborative file shares. Picture libraries are specialized for graphics and include a useful thumbnails view and a well-implemented slide-show view. There are also form libraries, wiki page libraries, and (in SharePoint Server 2007) several other types of document libraries.
When you choose to create a document library, you're asked to enter a name and description, and you can configure the document library to appear in the left panel, Quick Launch navigation, and whether versioning is enabled. In the Document Template section of the page, which Figure 1 shows, you can also specify the type of document that's created when users click the New button in the document library.
If a document library will generally or exclusively contain one type of document, such as generic Microsoft Office Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, and if that type is in the Document Template drop-down list, select it. However, in certain situations you should choose None as the template:
- The template for the type of document you want to create when clicking the New button in the document library isn't listed.
- The library will contain a custom document type (e.g., Contracts, Expense Reports).
- The library will be used to create multiple document types.
- A document library will be populated only by uploading documents, not by clicking the New button.
After you've created the document library, you can modify each of these configurations in the document library settings by clicking the Settings button and choosing Document Library Settings. In fact, I urge you to go to the document library's settings immediately after creating the library, so that you can configure it to fully support the capabilities you require, such as forced check-out and version history.
Finally, if you expect to provide search for your document library, you might need to add IFilters, which are plug-ins that enable SharePoint to index specific document types, such as PDFs. The Microsoft article "No Adobe PDF documents are returned in the search results when you search a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Web Site" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=927675) explains how to install the Adobe PDF IFilter and modify the registry to enable SharePoint search to crawl and index PDF documents. Be sure to install the IFilter early, before adding documents of that type to the library. SharePoint includes a number of IFilters for common document types, including Microsoft's own document types. Contact application vendors, such as Adobe Systems, for IFilters that support their document types.
You'll probably want to configure permissions, which can be assigned to any securable object in the SharePoint model—that is, a top-level site, subsite, library or list, folder, document, or item. By default, permissions are inherited from the parent object, so that permissions applied to the top-level site are inherited by all sites, libraries, and documents. But you can "break" the inheritance at any object in the hierarchy, then configure permissions on that object, which will then be inherited from that point downward.
To set permissions on a document library, open the library. Click Settings, Document Library Settings, then click Permissions for this document library. Current permissions are displayed, and the description bar shows the text This library inherits permissions from its parent web site. Click the Actions menu button, then click Edit Permissions, and confirm by clicking OK. Permissions previously inherited from the parent object will be copied as the default new explicit permissions for this library, and you can then add, remove, or modify permissions to meet your requirements. To change the permissions of users or groups, you can select groups or users and use commands in the Actions button menu (Remove User Permissions and Edit User Permissions). To add a new user or group and configure its permissions, click New, as Figure 2 shows.
Although the UI suggests that these are "user permissions," in actuality you can configure permissions for any user or group. Accounts can be SharePoint groups (created by clicking Site Actions, finding the Site Settings command, then navigating to People and Groups) or users or groups from the site's authentication provider(s) such as Active Directory (AD). As with Windows folder permissions, it's a best practice to manage permissions by using groups, not individual users, but there are always exceptions to that rule. I also recommend that you use SharePoint, rather than AD, groups because of the ease with which site administrators who are nontechnical users can manage SharePoint group memberships. Using SharePoint groups also makes it possible to configure SharePoint groups to enable access requests—a powerful permissions-management provisioning capability.
Be aware that once an object no longer inherits permissions from its parent, any changes to the parent won't "drill down" to the object. To revert an object to inheriting permissions from its parent, click the Actions button on the Permissions Settings page and choose Inherit Permissions. Doing so removes all explicit permissions. Unlike Windows NTFS permissions, a SharePoint object can't have a mixture of both inherited and explicit permissions: only one or the other.
One of the most important improvements in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 is the ability to configure item- (or document-) level security. In previous releases, you could configure security only to the document-library level. Now, you can configure permissions on individual documents. To see how this works, hover over a document name and, from the dropdown menu that appears, choose Manage Permissions. Again, you'll be informed that the document is currently inheriting permissions from the library. And, as you can do for the library itself, you'll be able to choose Actions, Edit Permissions and set permissions on the document.
After you've created and secured a document library, you're ready to add documents to it. You can add an existing document to a library by clicking the Upload button in the library's command bar to upload one or more documents to the library.
Another way to add a document to a library is to create a new document from the document library. Click the New button on the document library's command bar, just above the document list, then choose the type of document you want to create. The list that's displayed will include a default document template, if you configured one as explained earlier. If you want to have a custom document template or support multiple document types, click the Help button in the upper-right corner of your SharePoint site and read the online documentation related to template modification or content types. After the new document is created, the user can modify its contents; when the document is saved, it's saved directly to the SharePoint document library.
You can also save a document directly to a SharePoint document library from a SharePoint-compatible application. You need to know the URL for the document library (e.g., http://sharepoint.windomain.com/finance/shared%20documents). In the SharePoint-compatible application, use the Save command, enter the URL in the File name box, press Enter, and you'll navigate to the document library. Enter the document name and click Save, as Figure 3 shows. It's just like saving to a shared folder, except that you use a URL instead of a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path.
There are a couple of caveats here. First, as you can see from the sample URL, any embedded punctuation or spaces can make the URL look a bit unwieldy. But although you can generally enter the URL without the embedded punctuation (e.g., http://sharepoint.windomain.com/ finance/shareddocuments instead of http://sharepoint.windomain.com/finance/shared%20documents) and access the right location, it's a wise practice to keep URLs short and clean. Second, users aren't yet accustomed to navigating to URLs in interfaces other than a Web browser, so you should consider providing navigation aids, such as shortcuts (placed on the desktop or in My Documents) or Network Places to the document library URL. Microsoft Office 2007 system helps somewhat by creating a My SharePoint Sites link in the Open and Save dialog boxes, as you can see in Figure 3.
There are two other ways to get documents into document libraries. One way is to use the Windows Explorer view. Click the View button and choose Explorer View, or click Actions and choose Open with Windows Explorer. The folder then appears as an Explorer control within the document library or opens as a Windows Explorer window. You can now use copy (or cut) and paste or drag and drop to copy or move files between your computer and the document library. Note that if you use the Explorer view, you might need to configure Internet Explorer's (IE's) security zones (Local intranet or Trusted sites) to include your SharePoint site; otherwise, you'll be constantly prompted to confirm your actions.
You can also email enable a document library. The steps for configuring email-enabled document libraries are beyond the scope of this article; you can find them in the online SharePoint Help. However, here's a related tip: If you email enable a document library, configure the library's Description to include the email address, so that when users visit the library online they'll be able to easily identify its address.
Finally, applications that are SharePoint clients, such as Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Office Groove 2007, provide excellent support for working with SharePoint document libraries. I'll discuss these applications in future articles.
A document library displays documents as links. To view a document, click the link, and the document will be opened by default in read-only mode (although Office 2007 applications will prompt you to select read-only or edit mode). If you want to edit a document, hover over the document name, and a drop-down arrow appears. Click the arrow for a menu that includes the Edit command for that document type, such as Edit in Microsoft Office Word. Doing so opens the document in edit mode, so that you can make changes. When you close or save the document, it's saved to the document library. Be sure to train users about the difference between clicking the link (for read-only viewing) and clicking the drop-down arrow (for commands such as Edit). This knowledge will provide end users the most consistent experience across document types and associated applications.
If multiple users may edit documents, you should control editing to avoid conflicts in which two users try to make and save changes to a document. This is the first SharePoint capability I've discussed that simply isn't possible by using traditional collaborative file shares. When a user checks out a document, it's locked so that no other users can make changes until the user checks in the document. Site administrators can also discard a checkout, which will let other users check out the document, but the original user can no longer upload his or her changes to the document.
If check-out seems like a good idea (and I think it is), you should configure the document library to require check-out. To do so, in the document library settings, click Versioning Settings and, at the bottom of the following page, click Yes to Require Check Out. Now, when a user chooses to edit a document, the document is automatically checked out to the user.
If you want to monitor activities in a document library, such as the addition, deletion, or modification of documents, you can use email alerts or RSS feeds. To configure email alerts, click the Actions button and choose Alert Me. You'll be sent an email message if something changes in the library, and you can specify the Alert Title (i.e., the subject line of the email), to whom the email alert will be sent, what types of changes will trigger an alert, and how often alerts are sent (immediately, daily, or weekly).
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 automatically generates an RSS feed for document libraries and lists. To activate the RSS-feed option, click the Actions button and choose View RSS Feed. You can then subscribe to the feed by using any RSS reader, such as NewsGator or the RSS aggregator integrated into IE 7.0 or Outlook 2007.
Once you've created and secured document libraries, and users are creating, viewing, checking out and editing documents and can more directly track changes to documents and libraries, you've mastered the fundamentals of document-library implementation. In an upcoming article, I'll delve into features that traditional collaborative file shares never dreamed of, but that information worker scenarios require: version history, content approval, workflow, offline access, and content management. Until then, try not to grieve too deeply over the loss of traditional collaborative file shares.

Problem # 10):
A large research hospital has accumulated statistical data on its patients for an extended period. Researchers have determined that patients who are smokers have an 18% chance of contracting a serious illness such as heart disease, cancer, or emphysema, whereas there is only a .06 probability that a nonsmoker will contract a serious illness. From hospital records, the researchers know that 23% of all hospital patients are smokers, while 77% are nonsmokers. For planning purposes, the hospital physician staff would like to know the probability that a given patient is a smoker if the patient has a serious illness.
Problem # 12):
The Senate consists of 100 senators, of whom 34 are Republicans and 66 are Democrats. A bill to increase defense appropriations is before the Senate. Thirty- five percent of the Democrats and 70% of the Republicans favor the bill. The bill needs a simple majority to pass. Using a probability tree, determine the probability that the bill will pass.
Problem # 14):
A metropolitan school system consists of three districts north, south, and central. The north dis-trict contains 25% of all students, the south district contains 40%, and the central district contains 35%. A minimum- competency test was given to all students; 10% of the north district students failed, 15% of the south district students failed, and 5% of the central district students failed.
a. Develop a probability tree showing all marginal, conditional, and joint probabilities.
b. Develop a joint probability table.
c. What is the probability that a student selected at random failed the test?

About 24 hours after he had been sworn in as a United States citizen, Bejarano, 29, won four other races Saturday – three of them stakes – and this was the second time he's had five wins on a Gold Rush card. The Peruvian-born rider also accomplished the feat in 2009.
In the day's second most lucrative event for horses bred or sired in California, Grade I winner Willa B Awesome gained another nose victory, taking the $288,000 Melair Stakes.
A narrow winner over Reneesgotzip in the Santa Anita Oaks when 13-1 March 31 at Santa Anita, Willa B Awesome prevailed by the same margin Saturday as the 11-10 favorite.
The fifth victory in 13 starts for the 3-year-old Awesome Gambler filly out of the Nineeleven mare Cause I'm Tricky came after a race long battle with 2-1 second choice Starry Skies.
Making her first appearance on synthetic after winning two turf sprints to begin her career at Santa Anita, Starry Skies took the early lead from Willa B Awesome and held it for all but a jump or two. The final time for the nine furlongs was 1:53.33.
Owned by a partnership that includes breeder Terry Lovingier, Phil Daniels, Patsy London and John Winters and trained by Walther Solis, Willa B Awesome, who carried top weight of 124 pounds, seven more than the runner-up, increased her bankroll to $578,896.
The chestnut filly has now won three stakes in 2012. Prior to the Melair and Santa Anita Oaks, Willa B Awesome had gone gate-to-wire at 11-1 in the Grade III Santa Ysabel Jan. 28 at Santa Anita.
She was ridden Saturday by Martin Pedroza, who has been aboard for all but one of her victories. Willa B Awesome paid $4.20, $2.40 and $2.10. Starry Skies, who finished 3 ½ lengths in front of 3-1 third choice, returned $3.20 and $2.20. The show price on Starlight Magic was $2.40.
" I wasn't going to let that other filly get away,'' said Pedroza, back in action less than two weeks after suffering broken ribs in a spill at Santa Anita. "I figured that other filly (Starry Skies) is two-for-two and I can't let her get away because she might hang in there tough and beat me at the end.
"I got side by side with her to make her do a little something. The other filly hung in pretty tough, I'll give her credit.''
Getting his first shot at 1 1/8 miles, Unusual Heatwave took full advantage of the opportunity, earning his second win in nine starts and padding his bankroll to $265,262. He's owned by Ellen and Peter O. Johnson, Sr. and Teresa McWilliams and trained by Alexis Barba, the same connections that campaigned Alphie's Bet.
Making his first start on a surface other than turf since he debuted over the Del Mar Polytrack last Aug. 7, Unusual Heatwave rallied in the center of the track to win by a half-length in 1:51.63.
The 5-2 second choice, Unusual Heatwave paid $7.40, $3.60 and $2.80. Stoney Fleece, the 19-10 choice, returned $3.40 and $3.20. He finished 1 ¼ lengths in front of maiden Dylan Donnelly. The show price on the 7-1 shot was $4.20.
"It was a good trip,'' said Bejarano, who has 16 Gold Rush wins, second to Victor Espinoza's 21. "I followed the favorite the whole way and stayed out of trouble.
"He was much the best today. At the beginning, it didn't look like he wanted to go, but at the half-mile pole he really picked it up. I was waiting for the favorite to move by the three-eighths and I decided to wait a little more until I came to the stretch. As soon as we straightened away I let him run and he took off.''
The easiest of Bejarano's wins was courtesy of Mobilized, who won the $125,000 Tiznow by 7 ¼ lengths as the 5-2 second choice.
Trained by Gary Mandella for owners Double JH Stables, Inc. and the Estate of breeder Robert Reseigne, the 6-year-old son of Soul of the Matter and the Red Ransom mare Valleyofthebells, Mobilized dominated after trailing for the first half mile and despite Bejarano losing his whip with about three furlongs to run.
Covering the 7 ½ furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:29.47, Mobilized won for the sixth time in 22 races. He's earned $360,080.
Third behind Amazombie and Quick Enough in the 2011 Tiznow, Mobilized paid $7.80, $3.40 and $2.80. Italian Rules, the 2-1 favorite, was second, a half-length in front of 15-1 shot Kingpin Ryno. Italian Rules returned $3.60 and $2.40. The show payoff on Kingpin Ryno was $7.20.
Another of Bejarano's winners, Warren's Jitterbug, also took advantage of a contested pace as she rallied for an 11-1 surprise in the $125,000 B. Thoughtful Stakes.
The win was the most lucrative of three Saturday for owner-breeder Benjamin Warren and trainer Jorge Gutierrez.
The pair combined to take the opener, a $50,000 claimer for maiden California bred fillies, with Warren's Mo Money, then completed the triple with Warren's Internet in the fourth, the $60,000 Alphabet Kisses.
A 5-year-old daughter of Affirmative and the Peaks and Valleys mare Jitterbug Jan, Warren's Jitterbug won the fourth time in 24 starts. The $71,250 payday pushed her earnings to $355,994. This was her initial win in 10 races over synthetic surfaces.
Warren's Jitterbug completed the 7 ½ furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:31.44. She paid $25, $11.20 and $7. Going for a Spin, who was also outrun early, completed the exacta, a half-length behind the winner. She paid $8.40 and $5.20.
Sister Kate, who won the pace battle over favored stablemate Halo Dolly, returned $6 to show. The race was the first away from Golden Gate Fields for the full sister to Brother Derek.
Camille C. winless since her victory in the 2010 Melair, was a neck back in fourth and she was a nose in front of 19-10 choice Halo Dolly. A Jealous Woman and Miss Becca completed the order of finish.
Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, the all-time leading Gold Rush trainer, added two wins to his total, taking the $72,800 Grey Memo with 8-1 shot Gatheratthealter and the $71,400 Warren's Thoroughbreds with 2-1 favorite Sparkling Style.
The 2 ½ length victory by Sparkling Style, who is owned by Arnold Zetcher, was her second in a Gold Rush event. A year earlier, the daughter of Badge of Silver had earned her maiden victory in the Alphabet Kisses.
Joe Talamo rode Sparkling Style, who completed the seven furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:23.71.
The nose win by Gatheratthealter, a $32,000 claim last Dec. 9 by Live Your Dream Racing Stables LLC, which includes longtime handicapper and Television Games Network personality Bob Baedeker, was the 11th in the Gold Rush for Baffert. John Sadler is second with seven wins.
A 4-year-old gelded son of Lucky Pulpit and the Nashwan mare Gather the Group, Gatheratthealter, who was ridden by Bejarano, has won five of 14 and earned $79,268. Defeating Relentless Heat by a head, he ran the seven furlongs in 1:23.74. It was his first victory in five outings since he was claimed at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The Gold Rush wrapped when Valentine Boy, a 6-1 shot who had been idle since last July 24, won the $60,000 NTRA Stakes under jockey Chantal Sutherland.
Racing resumes Sunday. Post time is 1 p.m.
There will be a carryover of $31,360 for the Super High 5 after no one isolated the wager Saturday. The Super High 5, which is a 50 cent minimum bet, is offered daily on the final race.
The main event on Sunday's nine race card is the $100,000 Wilshire Handicap.
A Grade III for older fillies and mares at one mile on turf, the Wilshire will go as the eighth.
Nereid, who won the Grade I American Oaks in a dead heat with Cambina last July, is the 5-2 favorite on Russ Hudak's morning line. She will be making her first start of 2012 for owner Eric Kronfeld and trainer John Shirreffs.

The board of directors of the 25th annual All Saints Episcopal Church Garden Tour scheduled for May 19 has selected six local nonprofit organizations to receive a portion of the proceeds from the annual event.
"The six local groups that we have chosen are the Backpack Buddies Program of Hilton Head Island; Family Promise; the Neighborhood Outreach Connection; the New Destiny Center Inc.; Born to Read Inc.; and Senior Services of Beaufort County," said Mary Anne Gebler, chair of the 2012 All Saints Garden Tour Board. "Each of the grant recipients directly responds to at least one of the three areas of concern identified by All Saints for focusing its domestic outreach funding grants: Hunger, homelessness and literacy."
As part of the application, the organizations had to identify a specific project that would receive the funds — something measurable where the parishioners could get involved, really make a difference and make a dent in some areas.
• The Backpack Buddies Program of Hilton Head Island provides nutritionally sound, child-friendly food to children on weekends. The children selected are among those who qualify for free and subsidized breakfast and lunches at school. The grant funding will be used to purchase healthy snacks and fresh fruits for its clients. Go to hungerandhomelesscoalition.org/programs/backpack-buddies.
• Family Promise of Beaufort County coordinates a network of 35 congregations (including All Saints Episcopal Church) and more than 600 volunteers to provide food and temporary lodging in their respective places of worship. Family Promise staff members handle case management and advocacy, and help families find the resources needed to become fully self-supporting. The grant funding will be used to increase the number of families that it will assist. Go to familypromisebeaufortcounty.org.
• The Neighborhood Outreach Connection project will help prepare pre-school children in low-income Hilton Head neighborhoods for school entry. It targets 15 children and their mothers or guardians from three developments, with the children ranging in age from 18 months to three years, who are neither in daycare nor a Headstart program. Go to nocsc.wordpress.com.
• The New Destiny Center Inc. will focus on the Operation New Start Program, a residential care home for boys of Jasper and Beaufort counties who have been either abused or neglected and may be at risk or suffer with an emotional or behavioral disorder. The grant funding will be used specifically to procure additional beds. Go to newdestinycenterinc.com/default.aspx.
• Born to Read Inc. volunteers visit new parents in the Birthing Centers in Hilton Head Hospital and Beaufort Memorial Hospital to counsel new parents on the importance of daily reading with their children starting at birth. The grant funding will help purchase supplies for the literacy gift bags that the volunteers provide to the new mothers. Go to www.borntoread.org.
• Senior Services of Beaufort County has identified the home-delivered meals program that provides daily nutritional meals and social interaction with its home-bound elderly clients. The grant funding will benefit more of the 60-plus population of Beaufort County who are homebound. Go to www.seniorservicesofbeaufort.org.
Gebler said all of the gardens in this year's tour are located on Hilton Head Island and range from Sea Pines to the church's own gardens.
"Seven sites have been selected including the garden at the church. Each of them has their own unique qualities. Everything is on the island this year because everything was off the island last year," Gebler said. "What's sort of interesting is one of the church gardens is a Japanese Spirit Garden. An Episcopal monk who teaches at USCB had this idea to set up the Spirit Garden with Japanese statuary, rocks, donated plants and torii gates."
A retired teacher, Gebler is also interested in the vegetable and butterfly gardens the Hilton Head School for the Creative Arts has developed.
"The children under the guidance of Island Gardeners have learned how to plant, harvest, they've made ceramic garden plots signs," she said. "On the day of the tour there will be two students artists doing plein aire art and the school chorus will perform during the day."
All profits from the annual garden tour are donated to assist several local charities.
"Since its inception, the All Saints Garden Tour has donated more than $350,000 to local charities," Gebler said.
In addition to the garden tour, there will be an art exhibit at the Hilton Head Branch Library. A total of 50 local artists will submit original art work in a competition to serve as the art for the annual poster. The winner will be announced at an artists reception from 5-7 p.m. Feb. 28 at the library.

This view of Sugarloaf Street, South Deerfield, MAssachusetts, captures a turn-of-the-century street scene prior to the introduction of the trolley. Although this postcard was not mailed until 1911, this picture was taken prior to the construction, in early 1902, of the Greenfield and Deerfield Street Railway Company. The railway, which ran electric trolleys, had tracks on the left side of Sugarloaf Street, part of a regional network which would eventually connect Greenfield with Springfield and points south and east. This section of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, was just near the center of this sleepy village, a view that has, in many ways, not changed much to this day.

The appeal of regularly relocating where we live probably comes from our nomadic origins as a species, and over the years weve thrilled at the possibilities of some remarkable constructs designed to enable just that: the Icosa Pod, miniHome, Free Spirit Sphere, Nackros Villa, LoftCube, Trilobis, Kitahaus, and the relocatable sphere house. New Zealand is one of those countries where its near-to-no-one geographic location has created a hotbed of innovation through necessity and the Kiwi-produced Port-a-bach is particularly inventive because it is based around a remanufactured shipping container. As such, the NZD$100,000 (US$55,000) fold-out dwelling is not just rugged due to its natural steel exoskeleton, its as easy to transport internationally as it is to transport locally on a standard container truck. It has low environmental impact and can connect to local utilities or be entirely power, water and sewer independent.

Lofstrom's argues that Linux has done - and is doing - a lot of good for the world, and as such, Linus deserves the credit. "Linux is one of the largest cooperative international efforts ever undertaken," he argues, "It inspired Ubuntu, One Laptop Per Child, and many other global projects. Linux conquered the supercomputer space, the server space, the embedded computer space - by peaceful means! Linux helped sequence the human genome, helps protect the world computer infrastructure from viral attack, and is now the pathway for millions to learn computer programming and participate in new international efforts."
As odd as it may sound, I do believe he has a point. Linux is indeed bringing people together - not in the mushy kind of way, but in a real way: people from all over the world collaborate on the kernel. On top of that, the success of the Linux kernel is partially responsible for the popularisation of open source software.
Thanks, in part, to Linus Torvalds, we have quality free and Free software, making it possible for even the poorest of people to gain access to computers and the advantages that brings. I do think, however, that the Free Software Foundation should share in such a prize.
That is, if I were to agree he indeed deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. I believe that Barack Obama shouldn't have received the prize; neither did Al Gore. When I think of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think of people like Aung San Suu Kyi or Mother Theresa - and certainly not of a programmer or a guy who made a film.
What are your thoughts?

[VIDEO] Watch John Lineker Obliterate Michael McDonald in the 'Fight Night 91′ Main Event
In a sport as wild and unpredictable as MMA often is, perhaps it's fitting that, less than a week after the "biggest card in UFC history" left us feeling cold and mostly underwhelmed, a humble, under-the-radar, and most importantly free card like Fight Night 91 would come along and collectively blow our goddamn socks off. It even finished wrapping up before midnight, if you can believe it!
What Fight Night 91 may have lacked in star power, it more than made up for in just excellent displays of guys and girls punching each other in the face. In the main event of the evening, devastating face-puncher John Lineker took on the similarly hard-hitting Michael McDonald in a bantamweight contest, and the result was right up there with Lineker's battle against Francisco Rivera in terms of just how much face was punched inside the span of three minutes.

Obama says he's doing everything he can to control the Gulf spill.
The vocabulary of oil drilling is so colorful—junk shot, top kill, poor boy degasser—that there must be a name for the trick President Obama was trying to pull off at his press conference Thursday. He was trying to take responsibility and show that his administration is in control of efforts to stop and contain the massive oil spill in the Gulf. At the same time, he had to admit that the government hasn't always been competent, lacks resources, and is only kinda sorta in charge. Whatever the term would be, it would include mud.
"In case anybody wonders, in any of your reporting, in case you were wondering who's responsible, I take responsibility," said the president in his concluding remarks. But it's responsibility with an asterisk: BP is the only entity that can solve this problem, which is like none anyone has seen before. The government can stare harder over the oil company's shoulder—order a second relief well to be drilled, tell it what kind of chemicals to use—but overall the relationship is not unlike that between a frustrated user and his computer. The federal government is stuck on the phone, and BP is tech support.
Having responsibility without control is always a horrible situation, no matter what job you hold. But Obama and his aides know it is a special gift of the presidency. The dynamic is part of what keeps the "This is Obama's Katrina" story line alive, and the sense of confusion that dogged the Bush administration after Katrina was only heightened at the press conference when Obama said he didn't know whether the director of the Minerals Management Service had been fired or had resigned.
When asked directly about the Katrina comparison, Obama deferred to the judgment of history, sounding like his predecessor did when he was asked those kinds of questions. "When the problem is solved and people look back and do an assessment of all the various decisions that were made, I think people can make a historical judgment," he said. "And I'm confident that people are going to look back and say that this administration was on top of what was an unprecedented crisis."
Katrina was so damaging for Bush because he seemed so disconnected from the emergency he faced. This was exacerbated by the famous photo of him flying over the disaster. More damaging, but less remembered, is video footage of a pre-storm planning meeting in which he did not ask a single question of his briefers as they told him of the approaching disaster.
Obama's intent today was to show that the government was doing whatever it could, and had been from the start. After learning of the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig, Obama asked that departments respond quickly to help with rescue efforts and determine the environmental fallout. "The day that the rig collapsed and fell to the bottom of the ocean, I had my team in the Oval Office that first day," he said. "Those who think that we were either slow on our response or lacked urgency don't know the facts."
He outlined administration efforts to close the well, clean up, and put pressure on BP to pay claims. He announced a series of regulatory changes to prevent similar disasters. He ordered work suspended on exploratory drilling in the gulf and cancelled or deferred some future wells elsewhere around the country. "Not a day goes by where the federal government is not constantly thinking about how do we make sure that we minimize the damage on this, we close this thing down, we review what happened to make sure that it does not happen again," he said.
The president wasn't focused on politics, he said, but was trying to get the hole plugged and focus on the disaster. (In contrast, the Republican National Senatorial Committee was focused on politics and released a video immediately after the press conference that charged Obama with half measures on a host of national crises.) But Obama was concerned enough about politics to do all he could from behind a podium to show that he understands that people are frustrated. He repeatedly expressed his empathy with locals. "Every day I see this leak continue, I am angry and frustrated as well." He touched on his personal experiences. "In Hawaii the ocean is sacred." He even enlisted his family, describing how his daughter Malia interrupted his morning shave with a question: "Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?"
If one of the failures of the previous administration was a reluctance to admit mistakes, then this one has learned from its predecessor. At several points Obama admitted his administration had fallen short—while being at pains to point out that it was not through a lack of effort. It should have pushed BP earlier for an accurate assessment of the size of the leak. If MMS had been functioning properly, the disaster might have been avoided.
At Obama's news conference in April 2009, he recited all of the things on his plate—from auto and bank bailouts to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to his (then unpassed) health care legislation. He even gave advice on how to cough, in advance of a possible H1N1 epidemic. That was a disaster that didn't hit but for which the government had prepared. Now, with a plate filled with a set of new problems (new except for the hardy perennials of the last decade, Afghanistan and Iraq), the president must deal with one no one saw coming: the largest oil spill in U.S. history. "We've gone through a difficult year and a half," he said. "This is just one more bit of difficulty."

Motorbike rider attacked with acid on highway near Melbourne
A motorbike rider has suffered serious burns to his face and body after an acid attack on a highway near Melbourne.
Police say the 62-year-old victim was riding back to Melbourne on the highway when he was hailed down by another motorbike rider just before midday on Saturday.
The 62-year-old was then reportedly pushed down an embankment by the other motorcyclist, who fled when a green sedan pulled up.
Detective Acting Sergeant Peter Johnston says three men got out of that sedan and verbally abused the victim before throwing a large amount of acid in his face.
"It's an absolute callous attack, there's potential to do some serious injury to this man," he said.
Police say the victim has no links to outlaw motorcycle clubs and there does not appear to be any motive for the attack.

China may be a communist state, but the Internet is creating an "unofficial democracy" that's giving ordinary Chinese citizens the freedom to organize, protest, and shape public opinion in ways they never dreamed possible only 20 years ago.
That's the theory of Goubin Yang's new book, The Power of the Internet in China: Citizen Activism Online. Some might argue that the book presents an overly optimistic viewpoint, says Yang, an associate professor in the department of Asian and Middle Eastern cultures at Barnard College. But there's no denying what's happening in China, Yang says. He has spent 10 years meticulously following online activism and the forces that fuel it in his home country. He monitored and analyzed how people use online bulletin boards. He collected personal stories. He studied how civic organizations raise awareness for their causes. He even ran a personal blog using an anonymous name to understand how people use them. "I want to make the case that Internet activism really matters in very important ways," he says. "And it's not an elite phenomenon. It's very popular and access is quite broad."
Despite the state's efforts to control it, Yang says, the Internet has become an agent of radical social change in China. It's given people the ability to challenge the authority of the country's political and economic leaders. It's touched on issues ranging from the environment to consumer rights to sexual orientation. Meanwhile businesses and various nonprofit organizations have encouraged these online activities, too.
And along the way, China's citizens are rapidly transforming their lives and their society. "It's not just about technology," Yang says. "It's about human stories."
One of the first online protests that caught Yang's attention happened in 2000, when a student at Beijing University was murdered. University officials tried to cover it up, but details were posted on an online bulletin board. For days, thousands of students staged protests.
There are many other examples cited in the book: A woman raised awareness of slave labor by posting an anonymous letter online. A young man who was denied a position with the state government because he carries Hepatitis B eventually got one after sharing his plight via the Internet.
The state's efforts to constrain challenges like these are well known. But those efforts have only led people to find even more creative ways to subvert authority, Yang argues. Over the last 10 years, "it hasn't been difficult to stay interested in the topic," Yang says. "The difficult part is trying to tear myself away from it."
This tug of war between online activists and the Chinese government will no doubt continue for many years. The government will find new ways to control online activism, and citizens will find new ways around them, Yang says. But he hesitates to predict how that battle will shape the lives of ordinary Chinese citizens. "The outcomes of this struggle," Yang says, "are open and uncertain."

Chuck Testa Thanks Everyone on the Internet for Their Support [VIDEO]
A week ago, Chuck Testa was just a man with a relatively obscure taxidermy business. But after a deliberately campy commercial for Testa's Ojai Valley Taxidermy went viral, Chuck became a brief internet sensation. He even got his own meme, with people putting his catchphrase "Nope! Chuck Testa" in all sorts of places.
In the video below, Testa confirms that he and his business are real, and then takes the time out to thank the internet for "all the support, interest, all the comments, and all the positive stuff that's been going on." You're welcome, Chuck!

Customer feedback helps us evolve Flash so that we can help developers and designers push what's possible for over a billion people on the web. Adobe Labs is an invaluable channel for us to engage with our community, and it's where we share some of our early investigations, showcasing unsupported previews of experimental technologies. Some of these previews go on to become fully supported features or products, and others are phased out after we've had the opportunity to learn from them, allowing us to prioritize new product innovations.
In advance of releasing the next-generation Flash runtimes, Flash Player 11 and AIR 3, we want to share that we will soon be winding down our Labs preview of "Alchemy."
We released Alchemy on Labs over two years ago as an experimental prototype that allowed developers to leverage C/C++ code in Flash Player and AIR. We have not updated the original Alchemy prototype, and while we noted from the beginning that it should not be relied upon for production content, we've received persistent requests from developers asking for official support in the Flash runtimes.
We've been listening and have decided to invest in creating an improved version of Alchemy, which we plan to release as part of a paid production offering for commercial development. We intend to make non-commercial use free of charge.
The production release will offer significantly better performance and productivity over the Labs prototype. By re-architecting major portions of the technology, we aim to enable code execution approaching native performance, scalable support for large code bases, full debugging support, up to 75% reduction in code size, and seamless integration with ActionScript – all while reaching virtually every connected computer on the web.
This new offering will be available with a future update to the Flash runtimes, and we are temporarily including the prototype in the initial releases of Flash Player 11 and AIR 3. We continue to advise developers not to use the prototype for production content. Content created with the prototype for Flash Player 10.x and AIR 2.x will continue to work in future versions of Flash Player and AIR. The new production version of Alchemy will be needed to deliver Alchemy-enabled content that requires Flash Player 11 or AIR 3 and beyond.
In other Adobe Labs updates, we're excited about today's announcement that Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 will be available in early October. They introduce full GPU-accelerated graphics rendering with the new Stage 3D API previewed on Adobe Labs, providing 1000x faster rendering performance over Flash Player 10 and AIR 2. Stage 3D takes the throttle off developer and designer creativity, enabling stunning content that can animate millions of objects with silky smooth 60 FPS rendering. Check out our announcement blog post to learn more about this and the other advanced new capabilities in Flash Player 11 and AIR 3.
We're using the spirit of innovation behind Adobe Labs to change what people can do on the web, and technologies like Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 will enable a new class of incredible immersive experiences. We have a lot more in store as we continue our work to enable millions of developers to reach over a billion people with stunning applications – from games and premium video to sophisticated, data-driven content. We look forward to sharing – and showing – more about the future at Adobe MAX next month.
Update – Nov 22, 2011: Starting with Flash Player 11.2 and AIR 3.2, content targeting Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 (i.e., content using SWF version 13 and above) will not support the experimental Alchemy prototype. Existing Alchemy experiments targeting Flash Player 10.x and AIR 2.x are unaffected. We're continuing work on the new production version of Alchemy for next year that will allow developers to publish Alchemy-enabled content targeting Flash Player 11 or AIR 3 and beyond. And if you're interested in Alchemy, we invite you to participate in our survey. We appreciate hearing your thoughts and feedback!

"He introduces conjectures of his own and of other scholars, many of who lived before the nature of oral poetry began to be understood."
"That said, West's critical notes are very scrupulous and complete, so that you can always tell what is in the medieval manuscript tradition by digging in the apparatus. (Van Thiel's edition, which offers a text more along the lines I would prefer, with minimal editorial intervention, provides a stripped-down apparatus that doesn't give as much information about the evidence.) But you shouldn't have to dig in the apparatus to discover the actual evidence."

You're referring to the Universities. It's their Presses that are the culprits. I'm sure it's is just economics, and the high prices aren't limited to Classics. I was being facetious.
But why is Lewis & Short, a book that was typeset 130 years ago, now priced at USD$250?
I'm American but my copy of one of the volumes of the OCT Homer series still has a sticker on it that reads Price 12/6.
many prominent scholars have found this passage suspicious.
there's a whole monograph on the Doloneia by someone of the Oralist school I think (Casey Dué I think)
Paul Derouda wrote:He calls the simile "a somewhat lurid rhapsodic interpolation, probably" in the Making of the Iliad. I don't have access now to his Studies book were he'll have a full treatment.
West wrote:Hentze pointed out that the simile was intended to illustrate the Myrmidons' courage and eagerness for the fight, and that 160-3, where the description untypically moves on to a second scene and the purpose is lost sight of, might be an interpolation. Leaf adds that the lines contain several strange expressions, 'and one cannot but feel a reluctant suspicon that the directeness of the Epic style would be better preserved by the excision of 158-64 altogether. We thus get rid of the ἡγήτορες ἠδε μέδοντες (164), so that it is the whole body (πάντας 156) which is compared to the herd of wolves, as it should be.' So also, but more decidedly, Wilamowitz (1916), 125. The excision re-unites οἳ δέ in 156 with its verb ῥώοντο in 166.
I have bracketed 165 in addition. Patroclus' preparations have been described separately (130-54), and he then, apart from 165, disappeares until 219. The Myrmidons are pictured rallying about their usual leader, Achilles (155, 166, 168, 198 ff.) Patroclus' appearance beside Achilles in 165-6 is awkward. If 165 is removed together with 156-64 we get a perfectly seamless join:
..................................... οἳ δὲ λύκοι ὥς
ὠμοφάγοι, τοῖσίν τε περὶ φρεσὶν ἄσπετος ἀκή,
ῥώοντ'. ἐν δ' ἄρα τοῖσιν ἀρήϊος ἵστατ' Ἀχιλλεύς
ὀτρύνων ἵππους τε καὶ ἀνέρας ἀσπιδιώτας.
He's rewriting it to make it what he thinks is a better poem.
I would certainly want an editor to produce an "original" text of the Iliad if we could be assured that a specific individual created an original written text at a specific place and time, just as I would prefer to see a clean text of Thucydides shorn of interpolations, if that were possible.
It has been done. But it's not something anyone would want to use as a reading text. And what's the point, anyway?
jeidsath wrote:It's not possible, as you say, and the great problem is that so much work and erudition is wasted pretending that it is, by people who all know better. The pursuit of textual perfection is ubiquitous and the results are unfortunate.
One of the hardest things to pick my way through, as a new Greek learner, is the vast amount of pretension going on among academics. Who is C2 level in ancient Greek, able to pick up a book, or (let's imagine) follow a conversation? Who is following a mechanical translation method? And who can't do either, but rely on other people's work to sound erudite? Possession of a degree or teaching position is no use in differentiating them.
εὐαρίθμητοι γάρ τινές εἰσιν οἷοι πάντα τὰ Θουκυδίδου συμβαλεῖν, καὶ οὐδ᾽ οὗτοι χωρὶς ἐξηγήσεως γραμματικῆς ἔνια.
"The number of those who can understand all of Thucydides is very limited, and even they can't do it without resorting to grammatical commentary from time to time."

Wonka Nerds Jelly Beans
Here's a new jelly bean for flavor fans.
Nerds just don't appeal to me much, part of it might be that they're kind of hard to eat (maybe they should be sold in straws like Pixy Stix?), but I love the idea of them. Enter the Nerds Bumpy Jelly Beans.
Where regular jelly beans lack texture, each Nerds Bumpy Jelly Bean has oodles of nooks & lumps on a crunchy candy shell.
Where regular jelly beans lack a flavorful punch, each Nerd has a tasty tart layer just below the candy shell.
Yes, they look like freakish confectionery mistakes or maybe wads of leftover acrylic paint. They're hard and have uneven textured shells. But they're also vividly colored, so there's no confusing any muted colors (is this pink or magenta?).
The biggest contribution these beans have to the jelly bean pantheon is crunch. They're really crunchy.
Orange: a nice mellow orange flavor, with a rather tart flavor layer under the shell.
Lemon: the tartest of the bunch, it does kind of lose its zazz when I got to the end of chewing it up when it was just a big wad of sweet.
Strawberry: I was afraid this was going to be cherry, it's not quite the vivid red I photographed, just slightly on the pinker side of red. A nice sort of cotton candy delicate floral strawberry with a dose of sour power.
Green Apple: my mix seemed to have an inordinate amount of these, which is too bad, because they were my least favorite. They are sour and do taste just like artificial green apple.
Grape: fantastically artificial, like having a Grape Shasta (complete with a slight fizz mimicked by the crunchy shell).
It's funny how excited I am about these. Let's face it, there hasn't been much innovation in the jelly bean world since Jelly Belly started adding more flavor by using both a flavored center and a flavored shell.
These are fun to eat because there are so many options. You can just pop them in your mouth and chew them up, or let them dissolve or nibble away at the crunchy coating.
The centers are clear and have only a light flavor and a vague tartness to them.
I think they're a great change-up from the milder jelly beans out there and will definitely appeal to kids, but are still palatable for adults. I enjoyed all the flavors (though picked around the green ones after I finished my review). Still, I found that I couldn't eat as many of them as I can eat jelly beans. The tartness gave me a tummy ache after about a quarter of the bag. (See the levels of testing at Candy Blog Labs that I go through?)
The interesting news though is that while I was shopping at Walgreen's a few weeks ago, I also found this little bag of Giant Chewy Nerds. I bought them, at first thinking they were a clearance item, perhaps a test marketing. But the expiration is December 2008, so they were definitely fresh.
So, it looks like this is what they're called in the "Non-Easter Season". I can find no mention of either of these products on the Wonka site (does that surprise anyone?).
SugarHog.net also has a review (and got hers at Target for $1.99) plus another review from Sugar Hi.
These have a variety of artificial colors in them as well as Carmine, making them unsuitable for vegetarians.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas—Andre Hollins, a day after scoring 41 points, made three free throws with 0.4 seconds to play to give Minnesota a 66-63 victory over Stanford on Saturday in the fifth-place game of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Hollins' 41-point effort came against No. 19 Memphis. He only had eight points against Stanford but the last three were the winners.
The game was tied at 63 and Minnesota was inbounding the ball from under its own basket. After an inbounds pass, the ball was tipped away by Stanford's Dwight Powell, who saved it as he was falling out of bounds near midcourt. Hollins calmly corralled the loose ball and dribbled to midcourt where he launched a shot and was hit on the right arm by Stanford's Chasson Randle.
As Randle crouched in front of his bench holding his head as teammates patted him, the officials went to the monitor to see if the foul happened after time expired. They put 0.4 seconds back on the clock and Hollins made all three free throws.
A long pass by Stanford was knocked away by Minnesota and the buzzer sounded.
Hollins, who came within one point of the school record Friday, struggled Saturday, making one of eight from the field but he was 6 of 7 from the free throw line.
Trevor Mbakwe had 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Golden Gophers (6-1), who lost to No. 5 Duke in the opening round. Rodney Williams added 12 points for Minnesota, which went 26 of 35 from the line.
Powell had 22 points for Stanford (4-3), which lost to No. 13 Missouri in the first round, including a stretch late in the second half when he scored 10 straight. Powell tied it at 63 with two free throws with 14.8 seconds left after he was fouled as he drove to the basket.
Powell scored 18 of the Cardinal's final 23 point in the game.
Randle, who has been struggling with his shooting this season, finished 3 of 19 from the field including 2 of 9 from 3-point range.

A workshop was held before the Holmes County Board of County Commissioner�s regularly scheduled meeting on Aug. 27 to discuss Salvation Army�s recent announcement that they will no longer provide probation services for Holmes County.
BONIFAY � A workshop was held before the Holmes County Board of County Commissioner�s regularly scheduled meeting on Aug. 27 to discuss Salvation Army�s recent announcement that they will no longer provide probation services for Holmes County.
�What the Board will hear is a request to bring the probation services under the management of the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners, the judge and the clerk of court,� said County Attorney Jeff Goodman. �Collections made from this service will be more than enough to pay for this program. What�s more is that employees will be transferred so there won�t be a need for hiring new employees and there are some employees that have over 30 years of experience to bring to the table.�
The only request to the board was to finance the first three months of the program with an agreement to have the money returned to the county within a 12-month period.
�We have the money and it�s too bad but the Salvation Army is wanting to move on to bigger and better things,� said Judge Owen Powell. �We�re not looking for a hand out and this is not an obligation you have to worry about. Rehabilitation is an important thing to have because it�s the chance to rehabilitate without the use of the jail.�
Clerk of Court Kyle Hudson said there was already a location in the courthouse and this would be a positive change because that would put all of the necessary requirements and aspects of the probation process in one area.
Board agreed that it would be something to discuss at the next meeting in September and Goodman said he would have a proposed ordinance ready then for the Board to approve of.
Board approved of Sandpath Road Phase II Sidewalk agreement with a vote of 4 to 1, with Commissioner Kenneth Williams voting �no.�
Board also approved of Solid Waste Franchise Agreements with Northwest Sanitation, Household Disposal, Sanders Refuse and Waste Management.
Board approved of the Litter/Recycling Technician Job Description and was informed of a Waste Tire Amnesty event on Sept. 16 through Sept. 20, where each household would be allowed to bring all their old tires to the Holmes County Recycling Center for free disposal. The limit is 20 tires per household and no semi tires.
Fore more information contact Holmes County Recycling Center at 547-0922.
The next regularly scheduled meeting is set for 9 a.m. on Sept. 10.

In terms of complexity to use, all of the proposed solutions, including yours, are about equal...
I disagree with that. I think:
is definitely easier to type and to the eye than:
especially when it comes to parametrized uses. These would all work with my source filter:
Package::Alias (and Abigail's approach) does not support this.
...conceptual difficulty for a Perl programmer to figure out how they work under the hood...
I also disagree here. If you know about source filters, you will see that the filter is very simple. Creating the source filter involves some strange idioms, I agree, but I can't be blamed for that. And adding some more comments should take care of instructing any other Perl programmers who take a look under the hood.
Traditional Perl modules have much lower odds of conflict.
I agree. But I see the source filter merely as a means of achieving the end now, as a prototyping tool, rather than as the way to do such a thing in the long run.
And so far nobody has commented on the API. So that at least feels right to the people who looked at this so far. I don't think there is a Perl 6 Apocalypse about this, is there?
