America's funny lady, Carol Burnett, doesn't dwell on the past. She embraces it.
"I have some wonderful stories to tell, especially about the show," she says.
"The show," of course, is the legendary "Carol Burnett Show" that ran on CBS from 1967-1978. Burnett introduced musical numbers and performed in comedy skits along with cohorts Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, Lyle Waggoner and Vicki Lawrence.
But each episode began with Burnett chatting with audience members and taking their questions. That's the setup of her latest "Laughter and Reflection" tour, which stops Tuesday at Melbourne's King Center.
"I enjoy it because it keeps the gray matter ticking," she says of the format she has used on tours for decades. "You have to be 'in the now' when you do a show like this."
Burnett, 77, also keeps her brain sharp with crossword puzzles. "It's my morning ritual," she says. "I attempt the New York Times one." If she gets stumped, she turns to the Los Angeles Times puzzle — "It's not quite as clever," she confides conspiratorially.
Not that her brain needs much boosting.
"I have a great memory," she says. "I can recall scenes in my childhood, with my grandmother, mother and father."
Humble beginnings
The daughter of alcoholic parents, Burnett was raised by her grandmother in a poor part of Hollywood, detailed in a 1986 memoir, "One More Time." From those humble beginnings, she went on to earn six Emmy awards, more People's Choice Awards than any other woman, the Kennedy Center Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, among other accolades.
Her most recent book, "This Time Together," which was released in paperback Tuesday, was inspired by the tour and contains anecdotes from her showbiz days.
She's working on another memoirlike book, this one about her complicated relationship with daughter Carrie Hamilton, who beat drug addiction but died of cancer in 2002 at age 38.
"We had quite a history. She was a mess but I just adored her," Burnett says. "We wound up joined at the hip."
The book will be based on journals each kept for a year, then swapped to read the other's thoughts and feelings.
"I hope people will learn something from what we went through," Burnett says.
Good to be bad
Her other current project is voicing the villain in the animated film "The Borrowers," a Japanese cartoon that Disney is dubbing into English for American distribution early in 2012.
Burnett also voiced a villain in the animated "Horton Hears a Who." Is she being typecast?
"I think I am," she exclaims, with that ringing, familiar laugh. "It's fun, though."
She thinks her career's longevity was helped by being a TV star, rather than a movie star.
"When people watch you on the big screen, it's a bit removed," she says, turning thoughtful. "But when they watch you between their toes while laying in bed, they feel like they know you."
Of course, that can lead to being treated like a confidante by total strangers.
"I'm cool with that," Burnett says. Then pauses. "Well, sometimes people get going and I don't want to hear it." She laughs: "Too much information!"
Getting 'Glee'-ful
She recently returned to television in a guest starring role on "Glee" as the mother of villainous Sue, played by Jane Lynch.
"I loved doing it, I loved Jane Lynch," Burnett says. "We were looking forward to locking eyeballs. I called my agent and said I would love to do a guest shot on 'Glee.' That was one I went after."
Burnett's a fan of "Glee" because "it's bringing music back to television. I like to see that, I miss the music."
She's still disappointed that repeats of "The Carol Burnett Show" have the musical numbers removed because of rights issues.
Besides "Glee," the only other TV show she records on her TiVo is soap opera "All My Children," on which she has also guest-starred.
Go for belly laughs
She enjoys watching fellow comedians.
"Ellen [DeGeneres] on HBO, she was hysterical," Burnett says. "It was all telling stories about life and the silly things we do. I watched a rerun of an old [Bill] Cosby one-man show — hysterically funny."
But modern comedies don't always tickle her fancy: "I'm not a prude but I don't like some of the crudeness in some movies today. It's overkill. It's easy to get a raunchy laugh. It really is. It's not as easy to get a good belly laugh — but you can."
And violence makes her physically ill.
"I get a pain in the calves of my legs. They tense up," she says. "I can't watch."
She and her husband, Brian Miller, rely on Netflix and — yep, turn to the past with their collection of classic movies.
"We watched 'My Man Godfrey' the other night," she says, referring to the 1936 William Powell-Carole Lombard comedy. "It held up."
Burnett scrupulously keeps momentoes in a collection of scrapbooks: They're very organized, I can usually find things if I need to." But old photos are displayed around her Southern California home. "I hang them on the wall, rather than throw them in a scrapbook," she says. "I want to look at them!"
Even with her love of the past, though, Burnett has to draw the line somewhere.
Take the famous Bob Mackie-designed dress with a curtain rod across the shoulders, for example. Burnett, spoofing Scarlett O'Hara, wore it for a "Gone With the Wind" parody on her show.
"I don't run around in the Scarlett costume," she says, followed by a perfect comic pause, then a gust of laughter.
"It's too hard to get into a car."

Chef Matt Talks About Hell's Kitchenby Janice Wald Henderson, Cruise Culinary Editor | Sept. 10, 2010
Our Oct. 30 cruise with Matt will include in-depth interviews on behind the scenes at Hell's Kitchen. We are sure the details will surprise you. Matt says as much as he is allowed to say in print below! For more details: Chef Matt Sigel Culinary Cruise.
Matt Sigel from Hell's Kitchen is interviewed by our Culinary Editor Janice Wald Henderson Our own culinary expert meets our upcoming featured chef.
Chef Matt Sigel is an upcoming guest chef on the October 30, 2010 Norwegian Epic CruiseMates Group Cruise. Sigel was a contestant on "Hell's Kitchen" during Season Four, which aired in spring 2008. "Hell's Kitchen" stars über-chef Gordon Ramsay and is a highly successful unscripted television program airing on Fox. The show recently completed its seventh season. Our "Chef Matt Sigel Culinary Cruise" sails Oct. 30, 2010 on the brand new Norwegian Epic.
Chef Ramsay puts wannabe star chefs through tough culinary challenges, with ongoing eliminations, until a winner is declared. Chef Matt Sigel made it to the final six contestants. Here is his take on life in "Hell's Kitchen."
Q: What was the best part of being a contestant on "Hell's Kitchen?"
A: Being able to work with Chef Gordon Ramsay. How many people can say they beat out 20,000 potential contestants for a chance to be on TV? It was a roller coaster, but an enjoyable one.
Q: What was the worst part?
A: There were a few things. Punishments were tough. When you lose a challenge, you have to do a punishment. Sometimes, it is cleaning dorms. Or carrying in truck deliveries or ironing tablecloths. And often, we were not well-fed. For instance, when we picked peppers in the hot sun, dressed in long-sleeve flannel shirts and overalls, then we were given sandwiches containing just one slice of bell pepper. That was lunch. Also, fellow contestants were looking to stab you in the back. There was a lack of teamwork.
Q: Tell us about a typical day when you were taping.
A: There was never really a non-taping day. We never got to relax. It was pretty much nonstop. They would wake us up. Once we were dressed, we were miked. We were on-camera 24/7. We wore microphones all the time, except when we were in the bathroom. There was probably 12 hours of taping a day. There are reasons why the show is called "Hell's Kitchen."
Q: Were you ever in isolation? If so, for how long, and how did you occupy your time?
A: I'd rather not talk about this topic.
Q: We were told you were allowed to watch TV on the weekends?
A: This topic is also something I don't want to cover. I will say this; we did not have any contact with our families. No cell phones, no radio, TV or computers. We had nothing but the bickering and complaining.
Q: Why do you think you weren't allowed to speak with fellow contestants off-camera?
A: There were never off-camera moments. If we were traveling and there were no cameras in the van, we were silent.
Our "Chef Matt Sigel Culinary Cruise" sails Oct. 30, on Norwegian Epic. For details: Chef Matt Sigel Culinary Cruise. For our previous interview and more Hell's Kitchen background see: Matt Sigel Sept. 2009
Q: How many contestants were there?
A: Perhaps 14 or 15. Some I never got to know. Some I wish I had never met.
Q: What number were you when you left the show?
A: I was the 10th person eliminated, but I made it to the final six.
Q: How did you feel when you left?
A: I was upset that I lost due to a migraine. I was in pain and gave up. But I was also relieved.
Q: Are you glad you participated in "Hell's Kitchen?"
A: Yes, because I love my fans and love being noticed on the street. The show gave me a large following, a fan base. I also had an opportunity to do something not many get to do. But it hasn't done what I thought it would do for my career. I'm looking for work. I'm also hoping to find the financial backing to help me with some of my culinary ideas.
Q: What do you think the show is really about - finding talent or entertainment? Or both?
A: For a chef, it's a challenge working with Gordon Ramsay. Or maybe it's something to prove. Feed an ego, perhaps. For the viewer, it's entertainment. Although some viewers say really nasty stuff about us on blogs. But you don't know us. It is tough doing what we do. "Hell's Kitchen" isn't an easy place to be.

Q: Do you think the most talented chef won the season you were on?
A: No, I do not. I feel the people with the most talent were Petrozza, Bobby, Ben, Vanessa, Jen and myself.
Q: How much do personality and/or looks play into who wins?
A: I have no idea. Christina used tears to get her way. Yet she forgot I was in her corner when she was crying when Corey tried to boot her off. But when my integrity got questioned, I was seen as the cry baby.
Q: Would you recommend other chefs to participate in the show?
A: Sure, they should go for it. If that is what they want.
Q: Why did you do this show?
A: I had just gotten married, and (he jokes) I wanted someone else to yell at me besides my wife.
Q: Would you do another reality show?
A: Yes. I want my own show. I love television and I love cooking. Hello, agents and casting directors. It's me, Chef Matty!

I've been working on an upcoming post involving galvanized pails, so I thought I'd pull out some of my own, add some lace, and get inspired…
I love the juxtaposition between the frilly lace and rustic tin pails. I added lemons and a plant for some color, and didn't need a thing more.
I don't often set up vignettes and take pictures just to take pictures, but I am happy with how these turned out!
I recently purchased my first DSLR camera, and have been having fun playing with shutter speed, aperture and ISO. It's a slow process, but I'm (slowly) seeing improvements in my photos. Can't wait to share all I've been learning!

A prison has been described as unsafe with high levels of violence by a report.
Two prisoners died through "self-inflicted deaths" at HMP Ranby in Nottinghamshire last year, and a further two have died in a similar way since the unannounced inspection in March.
The report was published today following the 11-day inspection by HM Inspectorate of Prisons.
Conditions in part of the prison, which holds more than 1,000 men, were dirty, prisoners were found to have climbed netting in a bid to force a transfer to another facility and nearly half the population said they had felt unsafe having been victimised or intimidated, findings showed.
Evidence was found of an increasing number of incidences of self-harm at the category C training prison, and the availability of legal highs was also found to have increased.
Chief Inspector of Prisons Nick Hardwick said the report showed a prison "in crisis".
He said: "This report is troubling and we identified many problems within the prison.
"However, we were encouraged that the governor, who had been appointed relatively recently, recognised the extent of the challenge faced at Ranby.
"There was candour and honesty among managers about their situation and staff seemed to want to do a better job, but there was no doubt Ranby felt like a prison in crisis.
"Ranby's role is to provide prisoners with work, and access to learning and skills, to equip them for the future and to manage their resettlement. In this respect the prison was not yet delivering a good enough outcome.
"In order for the prison to work, the starting point must be to make it safer."
The report recognised some positives since the prison's last inspection in 2012, including a marked improvement in healthcare, and a "good" range and quality of training for prisoners.
Michael Spurr, chief executive of the National Offender Management Service, said improving the prison will be a challenge but progress has already been made.
"Ranby has been through a difficult period but significant progress has been made under a new experienced governor who was appointed shortly before this inspection.
"Ranby has a challenging population to manage but the governor has taken decisive action to address the concerns raised by the report."

BALTIMORE- The UMBC men's tennis team extended its winning streak to four straight with a 4-0 victory over Howard in the first match played outdoors at the UMBC Tennis Complex. The teams did not compete in doubles competition and the match has halted due to rain after the Retrievers had earned the fourth point.
The Retrievers improved to 6-3 on the season, while the Bison slipped to 0-8.
"The men got out of the gate quickly and played well throughout the competition today," said head coach Rob Hubbard. "They continue to be well prepared for their matches and hopefully we can continue on this streak."
Sophomore Melker Svard (Gothenburg, Sweden) got on the board first for the hosts, defeating Ismael Kaouache, 6-1, 6-3 at No. 2 singles. Classmate Alex Drean (Bayonne, France) extended the lead to 2-0 with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Myron Davis at the No. 3 position.
After No. 1 sophomore Justin Carter (Randallstown, Md.) marked his return to the lineup with a straight set victory over William Jones, sophomore Eliott Loubatie (Paris, France) clinched the match for the Retrievers with a convincing 6-0, 6-1 victory over Laguna Foster at the No. 4 position.
"Eliott Loubatie has proven to be a reliable performer in the line-up and Melker Svard also continues to impress with his fourth consecutive strong outing," said Hubbard.
The Retrievers are slated to return to action on Friday, March 8 when they host George Mason.

Gov. Jerry Brown and his advisors aren't sharing a lot of their campaign strategy when it comes to convincing voters to approve Proposition 30, his package of temporary taxes on the November ballot.
But what's clear is that Brown believes the campaign won't get started until after Labor Day.
Newly-filed campaign reports show the governor's Prop 30 committee is sitting on just over $5 million in cash.
All told, his committee raised $6.2 million between January and the end of June. That indicates he has spent very little so far.
The only campaign activity, other than fundraising, was the recent release of a Web ad setting the stage for the fall campaign.
A look through records at the Secretary of State's office show that labor, as expected, has been generous.
The State Building Trades Council contributed $250,000, for example.
But some big business interests have ponied up serious cash as well. Occidental Petroleum cut a check for $250,000, as did the American Beverage Association.
Blue Shield gave $150,000. And the California Association of Hospitals and Health Systems kicked in $500,000.
The entertainment industry has also been generous. NBC-Universal gave $100,000, as did Sony Pictures and Warner Brothers.
California's gaming tribes are also betting heavily on the governor's tax package. Among the six-figure givers are the Agua Caliente tribe, the Sycuan Band, and the San Pablo Lytton Band.
These numbers are just the beginning, of course. Brown and his supporters know it will be an expensive campaign to convince voters of the need to raise the sales tax and the income tax rate on the state's wealthiest citizens.
Statewide TV commercials can cost a couple of million dollars just for a week's run. So the fundraising is just warming up.
Jerry Brown's opponents haven't raised much so far, and aren't expected to.
They're counting on negative press coverage of issues like accounting irregularities at the Parks Department, and skepticism about High Speed Rail to sink Prop 30.
Brown's got a tough task, but he asked for the job.
Look for him to spend the fall in a fundraising blitz meant to fill the airwaves in the weeks leading up to the November election.
His job is to sell voters on the idea of acting, not in their own self-interest, but that of the state's.

Broadband Industry To American Public: Who Needs Open Internet Rules When You Can Just Take Our Word For It?
from the trust-us! deptHundreds of thousands of concerned citizens recently asked the FCC to protect the open Internet, but broadband providers filed comments that are the hundreds of pages equivalent of "take our word for it, everything will be fine" or "move along, nothing to see here." In preparing our reply comments to the FCC's open Internet proceeding, we've been examining the most recent comments of the big fixed and mobile broadband providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T.
What we found could be striking or completely obvious, but is probably both at the same time. Broadband providers primarily occupy themselves with aggressive posturing and finger-pointing aimed at content providers like Netflix and backbone providers like Cogent and Level 3. The big industry players' comments also make clear that the big broadband providers apparently do live in an alternate universe to most Americans. In this universe, the vast majority of Americans can easily switch between an ample number of broadband providers on a whim, and where any real rules to protect the open Internet as we know it are unnecessary because... well, because... just take our word for it.
Here are some of the lowlights:
"If a provider were to block or degrade Internet applications or content, the provider would incur substantial subscriber losses and reputational harm. Thus, in order to undertake such a strategy, a broadband provider would first need to conclude that any theoretical benefits of the strategy outweigh these very real costs." (pg. 6)Ok, a couple points here. First, the basic assumption that this argument relies on is that subscribers actually have another provider to switch to, which many people who live in Comcast territory know is simply fantasy. That said, the point about reputational harms also seems to ignore the fact that broadband providers are already considered the worst companies in America. Subscriber bases and profits are maintained due to these companies entrenched, excessive market power, not customer service. But then, I suppose you can't blame Comcast for trying: They were neck and neck with Monsanto this year for "worst company in America."
After discussing at length the importance of a mercurial, end-around category of "specialized services," and why the FCC should properly leave them beyond the scope of Open Internet rules, Comcast states:
"While it is unnecessary to impose additional mandates on specialized services, the Commission should clarify the definition of specialized services to provide increased certainty regarding the scope of its open Internet rules." (pg. 30, emphasis added)Comcast's argument here can best be summed up as follows: "Specialized services are perhaps the greatest thing we have ever thought of, and the FCC has wisely chosen to not regulate them. By the way, what are specialized services anyway?" If you're confused, you're not alone.
Who's next?
"A policy of impeding access [instituted by a broadband provider] to services customers wish to access would only push those customers to other providers. Other ISPs face the same incentives. Under these – in which users demand access to all lawful content and ISPs are committed to fulfilling customers' needs – there is no need for a prescriptive no-blocking rule." (pg. 26)Verizon asks that we set aside any silly preconceived notions we may have about the lack of alternative providers (discussed above) and how poorly broadband providers have been known to respond to their subscribers (Matt Stone and Trey Parker may have summed it up best already), and then essentially says that we hardly need rules in place when we can just take their word for it.
"Just because the Commission could prohibit such practices [such as blocking or degrading content] in some contexts, does not mean that it should do so at the present time and instead could wait to see whether any such theorized harms actually materialize." (pg. 37)Translation: Just because the Commission could stop us from experimenting in ways that break the open Internet to extract more money from both content providers and our subscribers does not mean they should do that. Instead, why don't we wait to even think about doing anything until we've locked in business practices that ensure the open Internet as we know it disappears?
"Applying Title II to the American broadband industry would be like tying a cinder block to the ankle of an Olympic sprinter in the midst of a race and then wishing her luck." (pg. 50)You should first know that Verizon spent a fair amount of time making accusing proponents of Open Internet regulations of being "sensationalistic" and "superficial" and of spouting "politically motivated fantasy." The only "fantasy" here is Verizon likening the American broadband industry to an Olympic sprinter. It is more akin to Godzilla: more prone to simply crush the competition than to race against them.
"To engage in end-to-end prioritization of Internet traffic across connecting networks, it would be necessary to have a system coordinated among edge providers, backbone providers, and ISPs to mark certain packets for priority and to handle them accordingly. No such system exists today." (pg. 18)AT&T may be right that no such system of coordination between edge providers, backbone providers, and ISPs exists today, but that overlooks the reality that broadband providers have already found a better way to achieve this goal while also cutting out backbone providers: Directly connecting to edge providers, like Comcast has done with Netflix. Not only that, but cutting out the middle man (backbone providers) has an added benefit for last-mile providers (like Comcast and AT&T) in that it cuts off revenue sources for backbone providers (as edge providers rely on their data transport services less often), weakening them and making them more susceptible to increasing demands from the last-mile broadband providers like Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and others.
The FCC has an opportunity here to spur competition and innovation, but it starts with recognizing that "take our word for it," "move along, nothing to see here" are not the cornerstones of a framework to protect an open Internet.

Todd O'Brien is a senior big man for UAB, but you won't find his name in any box score from the eight games the Blazers have played this season. He's not injured or suspended. Instead, his eligibility has been held up by his former coach Phil Martelli, for whom O'Brien played at St. Joe's before taking advantage of an NCAA rule allowing players who have graduated to transfer for their final year of NCAA play without sitting out a year. (Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson used the same rule last year to transfer from NC State.)
O'Brien outlined his situation in an op-ed published yesterday at SI.com. Put simply, SJU coach Phil Martelli won't sign the waiver to allow O'Brien's transfer of eligibility and the NCAA rejected his appeal. The college sports media community responded to O'Brien's screed quickly:
PLEASE READ THIS story by a player who's getting screwed by St. Joseph's. I'm thoroughly disgusted with Phil Martelli. http://bit.ly/voPoFy
- Seth davis (@SethDavisHoops) December 19, 2011
The fact that a school even has the option of refusing to release a player is appalling. I've been railing against this for years.
- Seth davis (@SethDavisHoops) December 19, 2011
The St. Joseph AD's statement to SI.com was pathetic. Martelli's silenceeven more pathetic. He's acting like he has reason to be ashamed.
- Seth davis (@SethDavisHoops) December 19, 2011
I'm calling on all St. Joseph alumni to write/call/email Phil Martelli and tell him to release O'Brien. Phil should be better than this.
- Seth davis (@SethDavisHoops) December 19, 2011
The fact that the AD would hide behind an appeal of the decision HE made is gutless. Pure cowardice.
- Seth davis (@SethDavisHoops) December 19, 2011
If true, Todd O'Brien's case is an embarassment for NCAA, college sports: http://bit.ly/vUWEg6 Kid graduates, held hostage? FREE O'BRIEN!!
- Jay Bilas (@JayBilas) December 19, 2011
Phil Martelli u r a good man - Let this young guy play @ UAB - release him now - Learned from my Mom & Dad NEVER hold a grudge! # RELEASE

St. Joseph's is holding former hoops player Todd O'Brien's career hostage. Why? Because it can. http://bit.ly/voPoFy
- Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) December 19, 2011
This story should leave you fuming at the NCAA and St. Joes. Their behavior [here] is abhorrent. http://bit.ly/ukM0l9
- Rand Getlin (@Rand_Getlin) December 19, 2011
Others voicing support or sharing the link include Bruce Feldman, Doug Gottlieb, Bomani Jones, Jim Dunaway, and Dan Wetzel.
St. Joseph's president John Smithson responded that the university was within full compliance with the rules, but neither Martelli nor AD Don Dijulia are commenting.
CBSSports.com, citing "sources," reported today the issue may lie in O'Brien's possible involvement in a laptop theft or other suspicions of disloyalty, but the point now is moot—plus O'Brien was cleared of the charges, according to his attorney.
Todd O'Brien graduated from St. Joseph's, is enrolled at UAB in a public administration Master's degree program, and would immediately help a terrible UAB team that isn't scheduled to play St. Joe's this season and has little chance of making the NCAA tournament. Phil Martelli's refusal to sign O'Brien's waiver is ridiculous, and his bashing by college basketball's biggest names is fully warranted.

Deli Lady referencing the kids: 'I just LOVE their red hair'
Smiling, as I often do in response to the same statement from many people I say: 'Thanks'
Deli Lady: 'your kids really are adorable, so beautiful - they have such gorgeous eyes'
Me, smiling again 'Thank you'
Deli Lady: 'wow, they must look like their Dad, huh?'
O.U.C.H!!!!! My punctured ego!
After leaving the grocery store we headed straight for my husband's work to deliver his sandwich. A few miles down the road I hear the tell tale 'f-dump, f-dump, f-dump' accompanied by a loud BANG!
Oh, my punctured tire!
(It's really a tyre you know, but we'll not quibble about it now.)
A call to my husband brought out the Knight in Shining Armour in him and in minutes he came galloping on his trusty steed (okay, he trundled along in his ten year old Ford Ranger. Whatever.) and he rescued this Damsel in Distress.
(How is it that men know exactly where the jack is, how to get the spare out and can heft a Ford Expedition off the ground to change a
Pleased with his stellar job and proud of his Super Dad status, hubs said goodbye to the kids and I and we started up our respective vehicles.
I attempted to start up mine
He got us started a few minutes later and we were on our way home, on a wing and not a few prayers. My car is 5 years old and has very low miles - it's not a clunker by any means, but it sure felt like it today.
Diagnosis on inspection this evening is I needed a new battery and the tire can't be fixed.
NO!!! My punctured wallet!
Please let this be it for now - my husband is going to Ireland next week for a week. I don't know any more Knights to call in his absence!

A recent study published in the scientific journal PLoS ONE indicates that people living in polluted areas have a higher chance of contracting heart disease. Here's a news flash: Breathe smog, bad things happen! Ain't proof grand?
According to the study, Los Angeles residents who live close to freeways experience more than twice the normal rate of arterial wall thickening as normal Americans. The study was conducted over the course of three years and is the first to link vehicle exhaust to the progression of atherosclerosis in humans.
The details are sobering, not to mention more than a little depressing: Researchers from USC and UC Berkeley used ultrasound technology to measure arteries in 1483 people in the Los Angeles area. In order to qualify for the research, prospective test subjects had to live with 100 meters of a freeway. The average annual artery progression in the study was 5.5 micrometers, or just under the thickness of a human hair.
On a related note, in July, the EPA launched a study of traffic pollution near Detroit roadways to examine whether smog leads to severe asthma attacks in children. Anyone want to guess what they're going to find?
Maybe we're pessimists, but all of this strikes us as more than a little obvious. Carbon monoxide and the human body in close proximity? What did anyone expect? If you live near a freeway, did you really think all that gray-green air was doing your body good? (No, Timmy! Don't listen to what Daddy said yesterday — don't suck on that tailpipe! It'll KILL you! I mean, if you're in college and you're experimenting, I suppose it's not horrible, but...)

Veterans welcomed the repeal of the reduction of the cost-of-living-adjustment for retirees starting in 2016, but veterans' advocate groups are disappointed the reduction will still apply to new troops.
The bill now awaiting President Obama's signature grandfathers current retirees and troops as of Dec. 31, 2013, from COLA cuts that were created as a deficit reduction measure. However, troops entering service after that date will see smaller COLAs when they begin retiring in 2034.
Representatives for several veterans organizations say that's not fair and want to see the entire law scrapped.
"Future military retirees will be required to serve just as long and perhaps sacrifice even more than their predecessors," Veterans of Foreign Wars national spokesman Joe Davis said. "It is in that regard that the VFW will continue to fight for a full repeal of the COLA penalty, and we hope that this vote will continue that conversation."
Shortly after the vote on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, various groups released statements praising the repeal of the current law but did not endorse Congress' decision to saddle future retirees with smaller COLAs.
"While we are pleased to see the restoration of retirement benefits for those who already have served, we are concerned that Congress has left future retirement cuts in place, and we will keep fighting until benefits for all who serve are restored," Paul Rieckhoff, chief executive officer of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said in a statement.
Michael Saunders, deputy legislative director for The Retired Enlisted Association, said that lawmakers' decision to put the COLA cap on future retirees will present a threat to recruiting and retention.
"While we thank [them] for repealing the unjust cut contained in the Bipartisan Budget Act ... this legislation cuts compensation that we believe is needed to maintain the all-volunteer force," he said in an email.
The bill repealed by lawmakers this week would have set annual cost of living adjustments for military retirees under age 62 at 1 percentage point below the federal cost of living increase. It was to take effect in fiscal 2016. The intent of the measure was to reduce the deficit by $6 billion over 10 years.
"All of our friends [in both houses] voted for it. It was almost unanimous," Louis Celli, legislative director of The American Legion, said on Thursday. "You can't scream bloody murder because the people we trust voted for it."
What makes little sense, says Celli, is that the money the government will save in the short term under the new law will be minuscule -- a small percentage of funds that the Defense Department annually saves and invests for future retirees.
With pensions trimmed back by 1 percent below the federal COLA starting in 20 years, the DoD will have to appropriate just a tiny bit less each year for the future. But nothing like the $6 billion the government was supposed to be saving over 10 years with the original legislation, he said.
"Is this [new bill] the worst thing in the world today? No. Because it accomplished the major goal that we needed to get accomplished right away," he said on Thursday. "Are we happy that they stuck in this last-minute provision to now penalize young enlistees who are looking at the military as a possible career? We're not happy about that. But I think lawmakers fully recognize that this will never go into effect."
And since the first retirees to feel the COLA pinch won't retire until 2034, he said, Congress has given itself plenty of time to fix its mistake.

And to think that we had sweet photos of Racquel Welch, Farrah Fawcett and Heather Thomas lined up to post to celebrate the extension of the streak.
Nothing making sense: Gibby Defense League Edition
With the loss, the Jays slip to a mediocre 15 games over .500 under Cito Gaston. We've been led to believe by some dudes and their acolytes that the change in the team's fortunes can be attributed to progressing to the mean, which they would have done under John Gibbons anyhow. The same John Gibbons who was let go with the team four games under .500.
Maybe this win streak has skewed our view, but the gap between Gibbons' 35-39 record and Cito's 43-28 record is distinct enough for us to make some basic assumptions about the relative merits of their managerial skills.

The Co-operative has supported the launch of Fairtrade in the UK and for 20 years has helped develop the market to become the world's largest.
The Co-operative is unique in the supermarket sector, being owned by our 8 million customer members and tracing a history of fair trading all the way back to our 170 year old founding values and principles. The business was born from the need for elimination of exploitation of workers and customers alike, and launched a worldwide Movement whose output today is larger than most countries!
Our Fairtrade story is packed with market leading innovation and leadership which have helped prove the commercial viability of Fairtrade to the industry and to drive customer demand and engagement.
From the UK's first Fairtrade bananas and the world's very first own brand product to carry the FAIRTRADE Mark, through entire own brand category switches (including sugar, tea, hot chocolate, bananas, roses, winter blueberries and even cotton wool) to our own Beyond Fairtrade programme of supplementary investment in many of our Fairtrade producers, we are proud of our long term and often indirect impact across thousands of farmers and workers in our Fairtrade supply chain.
In going further than the Fairtrade Premium alone we can offer unique co-op to co-op support and with our active members championing Fairtrade in local communities nationwide, our support extends to campaigning, education and advocacy.
Despite being essentially a small store business, we have proven the mass appeal of Fairtrade, and with a shop in every postal address in the UK, we can make Fairtrade products accessible to everyone.
We are proud of what has been achieved but know there is still so much to do and will continue to promote and sell delicious Fairtrade food conveniently.
See how The Co-operative supports Fairtrade
The first UK Supermarket to sell Fairtrade bananas and first to sell in all stores. Today all of our bananas are Fairtrade.
The only 100% Fairtrade own brand chocolate bar range available. Cocoa sourced from co-ops in Ghana, Peru and Dominican Republic.
100% Fairtrade own brand since 2008, including the very first Fairtrade sugar from Malawi. And supporting farmers in Belize as major stockists of Tate & Lyle.

Power optimization made simple
When paired with Streamline, the Arm Energy Probe provides a simple and elegant solution for software optimization targeting energy efficiency. Measure real power consumption, correlate it with software execution and make your code as efficient as the processor it's running on.
Software is ultimately responsible for energy efficiency
We are very proud of our leading position in processor energy efficiency. However, it's easy to lose that advantage with only a few lines of software, which can turn optimized hardware into an energy sink.
With Streamline and the Energy Probe, you can correlate over a timeline all your software execution activity with power, voltage and current measurement from up to three points on your board. The intuitive graphical user interface allows you to quickly spot and attribute any unintended behavior to the right piece of code. This includes visualizing the processor's dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) status to fine-tune your power management governor.
Power measurement in the hands of software developers
The Energy Probe has been specifically designed with software developers in mind. Its easy setup and low cost make it ideal to be incorporated into the workflow of all software developers.
The probe does not require adding any debug or trace hardware to analyze Linux or Android systems. Measurement channels acquire the voltage drop across sense resistors on the target board and send to the host via USB 2.0. The synchronization of Energy Probe and target data is done on the PC using DSP algorithms that correlate CPU power consumption with load.

Democrats blink first on aviation cuts
The White House and Democrats in Congress argued for months against a piecemeal fix to the budget problems caused by the sequester.
But on Thursday, Democrats caved in and agreed to allow the Federal Aviation Administration to keep air traffic control towers running at close to full capacity.
Story Continued Below
All it took was a few thousand people standing in line at the airport.
The Senate approved a deal late Thursday to ease the FAA's burden following negotiations among both parties and the White House. The House is expected to take up the bill Friday, just before the congressional weeklong recess, so President Barack Obama can sign it.
While travelers may be relieved, some Democrats worry about saving the FAA while letting other domestic programs across the government suffer under the automatic budget cuts.

"I doubt the most disadvantaged citizens are flying on commercial aircraft," said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who called piecemeal solutions "sequester budget Whac-A-Mole."
Sounding a similar theme, top House aviation Democrat Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) lamented on C-SPAN that "no 3- or 4-year-old is going to call my office and say, 'I've been kicked out of Head Start, replace that money.'"
Democrats admit that it's not the approach they wanted — but it's one they may have to live with before there's a revolt from the flying public.
"We're just fooling ourselves if we think that we are doing the American people any favor by not finding a real solution," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was nonetheless open to a fix that would move money from other Transportation Department accounts to shore up the FAA. "A real solution is to go to the table and to have a reconciliation of the budget."
The Senate's fix may be good news for travelers, White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement Thursday night, but it's "no more than a temporary Band-Aid that fails to address the overarching threat to our economy posed by the sequester's mindless across-the-board cuts."
( PHOTOS: What they're saying about sequestration)
"We hope Congress will find the same sense of urgency and bipartisan cooperation to help the families who have had children kicked out of Head Start, the seniors who have lost access to Meals on Wheels, the hard-working employees who have been laid off due [to] defense cuts, and the 750,000 Americans who have lost a job or won't find one because of the sequester by acting on a balanced deficit reduction plan like the one the president has proposed," Carney added.
Hope isn't a negotiating strategy, however. And for two months, the Obama administration had been banking on public angst about gridlock in the skies to get Republicans back to the table on the across-the-board cuts that took effect March 1.

The Herbs and Acupuncture Clinic in Fort Morgan offers traditional Chinese medical treatment such as medicinal massage, acupuncture, herbs and nutritional guidance.
Acupuncturist and herbalist Caitlin Dilli does various kinds of acupuncture, a medicinal massage called tui na and herbal remedies, and clients can choose between those as they wish.
For example, a person may come in just for an herbal consult, or just for acupuncture, she said.
The idea is to offer holistic health for those who want to look and feel their best, Dilli said.
Most people have heard that acupuncture can treat pain, but it can also help with digestion, fertility, women's health and athletic performance, she said. It does this by modulating the neural endocrine system, increasing circulation and decreasing inflammation.
Many people notice the effects with the first treatment, but it takes multiple and consistent treatment for the full effect, Dilli explained. Following up with more treatments in a sense reminds the body of its balance.
Dilli grew up in Littleton, and earned a bachelor of arts degree at Willamette University in Oregon with an emphasis in genetics in 2010, but could not picture herself working in a laboratory all the time.
Also, she saw a disconnect with how Western medicine views health, especially chronic conditions, she said.
Dilli went on to earn a master's degree at the Colorado School of Traditional Medicine in Denver last August, and also practices at the Lifesource Health Partners health center in Lakewood.
She practices on Wednesdays and Thursdays in Fort Morgan in the same building with Advantage Merle Norman Salon, just behind the 7-Eleven store on East Platte Avenue.
Dilli said she started a practice in Fort Morgan because she has family in the area and wanted to offer alternative treatment that is also complementary to Western medicine in an area that does not have Chinese medicine.
"It's going really well," Dilli said.
People of all ages and backgrounds have come to see her, and she said she appreciates how considerate and friendly people in Fort Morgan behave.
There are many options for clients.
Today, more and more insurance companies offer to cover a certain number of acupuncture treatments.
Initial acupuncture treatments take 1.5 hours, because Dilli takes a detailed health history in addition to the treatment. That costs $75, and hour-long followup treatment cost $50. Acute treatment for a flare up of a condition costs $25 per half-hour.
Sometimes, acupuncture on just the ear can be helpful, and that costs $25 for a half-hour treatment. Ear acupuncture can help with stress, addictions and general health, Dilli said.
Massage treatments are deep massage, not just light massage, and usually last 30 minutes for $25, although she can do an hour for those who wish.
An herbal consultation costs only $15 for a half-hour, and that includes the herbs that are prescribed.
Dilli said she carries about 300 different herbs, which constitute a wide variety of plants, minerals and animal substances. Some people might be familiar with are garlic, ginger and ginseng.
"I trust this medicine," Dilli said.
People are welcome to come in for a free 20-minute consultation, with a chance to ask questions.
"I love what I do," Dilli said, adding that she is willing to speak to local groups and clubs.

- Enjoying a crowd-free overlook near Canyonland's Upheaval Dome.
Canyonlands: America's most underrated national park?
After exploring the dizzy heights of the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce National Parks, we had low expectations for Utah's lesser-known Canyonlands. One week on the road and landscape fatigue was starting to wear us down – and who wants to live in a world where canyons and mountains no longer incite passion?
Thankfully, Canyonlands was the perfect curative. Imagine a lower, more accessible and more tangible Grand Canyon, where two mighty rivers converge in dramatic splendor.
The park's divided into four areas. The main visitor center at Islands in the Sky is an ideal first glimpse of the deep canyons where the Colorado River meets the Green River (yep, that infamous Green River).
We hiked along the rim to take in the view before driving down to the Mesa Arch – a picturesque natural bridge – and onwards to Upheaval Dome. Confusingly, Canyonlands was the quietest National Park on our Grand Circle tour, despite being just as breathtaking as some of the big players. A couple of the major overlooks were deserted when we pulled up.
Upheaval Dome is a huge crater nestling between mountains. Scientists aren't sure if it was caused by a salt pit evaporating or a meteorite hitting the earth 60 million years ago and taking out a few dinosaurs (the second theory, obviously. It 's much cooler). The overlook was breathtaking. I took the opportunity to relax and write up my journal while my husband scrambled up the adjacent peak for an even grander view.
On our way out of the park, a ranger told us about an amazing hike on the east side of Canyonlands that led to an abandoned cowboy outpost and some Indian pictographs. After an evening of toasting s'mores at our cabin in Moab, we headed to the other side of the park, The Needles, to take up the ranger's advice.
The first stop of the day was the short and easy Cave Spring hike to the abandoned outpost. It was a fabulous find among the ramshackle fencing and scrub: an open-to-the-elements outpost for ranchers who used to work off the land. The accoutrements of cowboy luxury are still set out for use – wooden tables and a makeshift stove, leather chaps and belts, rusting coffee pots and a grain bin – so it's easy to imagine life roughing it under the stars. We had to rely on the zoom function for photos, as the outpost and artifacts are fenced off from curious hands.
Further along the trail we discovered a series of painted Indian pictographs on the wall of a cave. Most of pictographs were child-sized red and black handprints – anyone remember the finale of Blair Witch Project in the cellar? – and pretty creepy. Thankfully it was a sunny day or I would have been out of that cave like a bat. I don't know why the artists chose to paint so many hands or what happened to that particular tribe, but I had a horrible feeling it wasn't good. The trail also takes you up a couple wooden ladders (the safest way to traverse the slickrock) for an overview of the geography on the east side of the park.
We did a couple of other short hikes around the canyons but had to find our accommodation for the night, a rustic yurt, before it got dark.
We did make a final stop at the interesting Newspaper Rock en route. Expecting a boring stack of paper-like formations, we found instead a huge rock face scrawled with 2000 years' worth of pictographs and graffiti. The Navajo call it Tse' Hane' or "the rock that tells a story" and it's easy to see why; most of the drawings are random designs, but if you take the time you can spy bison, bighorn sheep, eagles and some scary, many-legged centipede-god.
After five miles of dusty backroads around Monticello, we found our yurt. I was a little apprehensive of our night's accommodation but... yurts are cool!
Basically, it was a huge round Mongolian tent fitted out with gorgeous secondhand ("rescued") furniture and a woodstove, with a fire pit outside on six acres of private land. It even had a little outhouse with a solar shower. A fine introduction to the worlds of "glamping" and "yurtcation."
After braving the freezing solar shower (has anyone ever got one of these eco-devices to work?), we were collecting firewood when all of a sudden we had a visitor: a friendly mastiff from a neighboring farm. I thought she was a coyote and almost threw a log at her, but she became our best friend, begging at our door as we grilled up steak and more s'mores.
I felt much safer sleeping at night (after watching one too many American Horror Story episodes on my laptop) knowing that we had a guard dog bounding around outside to chase off bugs and creepies and whatever else we should be worrying about.
We could have easily spent a week exploring the different geographical features of Canyonlands from our cozy yurt, but we had many more miles to make before the end of our trip.
It saddens me to know that better-known (but not necessarily more impressive) parks like Arches and Bryce rake in so many more tourists a year, but it is also a privilege to take the road less traveled at least once and avoid the crowds for a few days. If you're a fan of deep and decadent canyons and awesome vistas (in the true sense of the word "awesome"), then you definitely have to add Canyonlands to your vacation list.

New York, NY (September 16, 2009) - Tony DiSanto, President of MTV Programming today announced that MTV has greenlit "Warren The Ape," the latest in a wave of new scripted series for the network. Set to air in 2010, this character-driven comedy will give viewers an uproariously colorful take on 'the celebrity reality show genre' and feature a host of celebrity cameos mixed with puppetry.
"Comedy consistently resonates with our audience and we are building a diverse slate that brings an MTV twist to the genre," said Tony DiSanto, President of Programming, MTV. "'Warren The Ape' is a live action scripted comedy that tells the tale of an ape trying to revive a career in Hollywood by any means necessary. This show truly has a unique visual style and tone as well as a creator driven voice that is fresh and exciting."
"Warren The Ape," a scripted comedy set within a fictional reality show, chronicles the trials and tribulations of a D-grade celebrity puppet. A brash, cantankerous, out-of-work actor, Warren 'The Ape' Demontague is attempting to clean up his act and scramble his way back into the Hollywood limelight. Having sampled a brief taste of success as a star on the former sitcom "Greg The Bunny," Warren's life has been in a downward spiral ever since the show got canceled. When the opportunity for his own reality show arises, Warren takes this chance to restore his celebrity status once again.
"Warren The Ape" is produced by Spencer Chinoy, Sean Baker and Dan Milano (who also portrays Warren) who serve as Executive Producers and Creators. George Plamondon and Betsy Schechter serve as Executive Producers for Picture Shack Entertainment and Kevin Chinoy and Francesca Silvestri are Executive Producers for Freestyle. Liz Gateley, Brent Haynes and George McTeague serve as the executives in charge of production for MTV.
MTV is the dynamic, vibrant experiment at the intersection of music, creativity and youth culture. For over 27 years, MTV has evolved, challenged the norm, and detonated boundaries�giving each new generation a creative outlet and voice that entertains, informs and unites on every platform and screen. On-air, MTV is the number one rated full-day ad-supported cable network for P12-24. Online, MTV.com averaged 21.7 million monthly unique visitors during the first quarter of 2009�up +7% from the 4Q/2008. Total video streams for the first quarter of 2009 increased by 13% from 4Q/2008 and by 21% over the same time period last year. And MTV�s successful sibling networks MTV2, mtvU and MTV Tr3s each deliver unprecedented customized content, super-serving music fans, college students and young American Latinos like no one else. MTV is part of MTV Networks, a unit of Viacom (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), one of the world�s leading creators of programming and content across all media platforms.

- Page 3 3D Performance, Gaming and Verdict Review
- Sensational 2D picture quality
- Appealing design
- Very good audio
- 3D suffers excessive crosstalk
- It's expensive
- Online features not extensive enough
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £2300.00
- 46in LCD TV with direct LED lighting
- Moth Eye filter
- Ambilight
- Active 3D playback
- smart TV functionality
Regular readers will know that for us, so far as TV was concerned, 2011 was the year of the moth. For it was in November of that year that Philips introduced one of the most exciting TV innovations we've seen throughout our many years testing televisions: the Moth Eye filter.
Applied to the Philips 46PFL9706, this filter aped the nodular design of moth's eyes to reduce ambient light reflections on the screen and thus take the picture's contrast to new heights. So you can imagine our excitement today as find ourselves tucking into Moth Eye Mark II, as sported by the Philips 46PFL9707. Especially as the new Moth Eye system is allegedly vastly improved from the already remarkable original version.
The Philips 46PFL9707 is the only TV in Philips' new range to carry Moth Eye tech. Even this 46-inch model's bigger sibling, the Philips 60PFL9707 (which actually isn't looking likely to get a UK release) doesn't have the special filter, apparently because making and using a Moth Filter is so expensive that it (currently) only makes commercial sense at the 46-inch level. Even so, the Philips 46PFL9707 still costs a somewhat eye-watering £2,300. But hopefully this review will simply prove that if you want the best, you just have to pay for it.
Philips 46PFL9707 Design
Aesthetically the Philips 46PFL9707 is very attractive without being traditionally fashionable. The bezel is a bit wider than the current 'trend', and the rear is chunkier than today's norms too. However, the Philips 46PFL9707's looks are bolstered considerably by the application of a shiny metallic finish to its bezel, a distinctive white rear, and the set's Ambilight Spectra XL system, which uses LEDs mounted along its top, right and left rear edges to pump out coloured light that can correspond and react to your image content.
Ambilight always sounds gimmicky when we describe it, but trust us when we say it's not just some show-off party piece. It really can make watching TV feel both more immersive and less tiring, and once experienced is something you definitely miss when it's gone.
As with the recently tested Philips 46PFL8007, the stand/wall mount supplied with the Philips 46PFL9707 contains the set's audio system – an audio system capable of pumping out a claimed 40W of power that on paper at least goes way beyond the puny efforts of most TVs.
Philips 46PFL9707 Connectivity
Philips has gone to town with the Philips 46PFL9707's connectivity, especially with its provision of five HDMIs when the rest of the TV world tends to draw the line at four. There's also built-in Wi-Fi for networking the TV to either a PC/Mac or Philips' latest Smart TV online system, and three USBs capable of playing back multimedia files from USB sticks or recording to USB HDDs from the TV's built-in Freeview HD tuner.
Exploring the Philips 46PFL9707's picture features inevitably brings us right back to the Moth Eye filter. The effectiveness of this technology has been improved for 2012 by Philips' engineers managing to reduce the 'in-panel' reflections that normally occur between the panel's TFT layer and the additional layers that have to be mounted onto it, including the polarising and protective layers. The result is a claimed contrast ratio for the Philips 46PFL9707 of – drum roll please – 150,000,000:1. This extraordinary figure is three times as high as the one quoted for last year's Philips 46PFL9706.
Philips 46PFL9707 Specs
Not that the Moth-Eye filter is the only contributing factor to this huge contrast claim. Also extremely important is the Philips 46PFL9707's use of direct LED technology rather than the much more common edge LED system – especially as Philips' rear-mounted lighting system employs 240 separately controllable LED light segments to deliver local dimming, where different sections of the picture can be given their own separate light levels. Clearly such a localised level of light control should deliver a substantial boost to any TV's contrast performance.
Yet more contrast-boosting cleverness comes from Philips' Bright Pro and Local Contrast technologies. The former can boost the brightness of bright parts of the picture by 50% over the previous Moth-Eye set – up to a startling 1500Nits – while the enhanced local contrast feature analyses pictures in real time on both local and global levels before applying newly improved contrast algorithms and an edge-preserving filter, with a view to boosting shadow detail in dark areas without adjusting the brightness levels of the rest of the picture.
This being a Philips TV, picture processing is also widely used elsewhere, with the various components of the brand's Perfect Pixel HD taking in everything from colour to sharpness, motion handling and noise reduction.
