Mr. Santorum says he was caught in "a meltdown year" for Republicans...It was 2006.
But if the climate was harsh, Mr. Santorum was part of it. Always brash, he had become a more rancorous figure since he last faced the voters in 2000. He was No. 3 in his party's leadership and responsible for its messaging, which often meant either defending Mr. Bush or going on the attack.
And he took high-visibility roles on divisive issues, including abortion, homosexuality and the right-to-die case of Terri Schiavo....
The voters to whom he is appealing this year — mainly conservatives and evangelical Christians — are the same core voters he appealed to in Pennsylvania. But in 2006, they were a minority in the state's general election; now they dominate the Republican primaries. And they are drawn to Mr. Santorum's moral certitude, his fire-and-brimstone passion, his pugilistic posture of never giving up and never giving in.

A school in South Carolina is taking on saggy pants by lending belts to students who show up with droopy drawers.
Students at Northwestern High School in Rock Hill used to face a disciplinary write-up for the dress code violation. But now Principal James Blake is hoping the new approach will get students to think about how they dress and also cut down on the number of students referred for discipline.
"We see kids with their britches hanging down all the time," assistant football coach and administrative assistant William Cureton told The Herald of Rock Hill. "We want to change the culture."
U.S. & World
Students nabbed for saggy pants will have the option to "check out" a belt for the day.
"We're willing to try anything in order to give the kids an opportunity to do the right thing," Blake said.
Junior Joe Johnson told The Herald students should be allowed to dress the way they want. He said giving out belts misses the point.
"They'll just have one extra belt," he said.

Schools, districts across state given report cards
Most districts got passing grade from Dept. of Instruction
MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Department of Instruction handed out report cards for schools across the state Tuesday, and most districts got a passing grade.
The report card data has potential scores of significantly exceeds expectations, meets expectations or meets few expectations.
The only district that failed to meet expectations was Milwaukee, while 10 districts, including Beloit, in the area met few expectations.
Madison got a score of 68.5, which is considered meeting expectations. The district's average was brought down by some schools that have room for improvement.
In the Madison district that includes East and La Follette high schools. Those two schools met few expectations. Two middle schools, along with Nuestro Mundo, and six elementary schools also met few expectations.
On the other side of the spectrum, five schools significantly exceeded expectations.
"But there's a pretty big range from schools in the second-to-lowest category just below meets expectations, all the way to far exceeding expectations," said Madison Metropolitan School District Superintendent Jen Cheatham. "So it's just a reminder of the diversity of our community and the large range of students and families and schools that we serve."
Madison had the highest performance of all school districts statewide with more than 15,000 students.
Janesville Schools fared the best in Rock County with a score of 74.8. Beloit schools got a score of 62.5, but school leaders said the numbers by themselves don't tell the whole story.
According to the state, five schools in Beloit fall in the category of meeting few expectations.
"They compare students in poverty to students in the state who are not in poverty. So as far as closing that gap, we aren't where we need to be," said Lynee Tourdot, assistant superintendent with the Beloit School District.
Tourdot said 78 percent of the students in their district are on free or reduced lunch. So for the last few years they've been working on strategies to help those students.Schools, districts across state given report cards
"We actually do very well with our students not in poverty. We show huge achievement gains with those students. The little bit tougher group to show achievement gains with are our students in poverty, and that's the area we need to work on," said Tourdot.
All of the schools in the Janesville School District either met or exceeded expectations. Wilson Elementary, the district's lowest performing school last year, made significant gains this year.
Karen Schulte, Janesville School District's superintendent, said nearly 100 percent of students there are at the poverty level. She credits Wilson's principal with the turn around.
"She knows what she's doing and she's led her staff and trained them in the techniques that are needed to work with this high poverty population," said Schulte.
The rankings also measure student growth each year. Janesville scored 10 points above the state average.
"Each school has a specific profile, and each school has an achievement target they'd like to focus on so each school will be working in different areas," said Kim Ehrhardt, director of curriculum, assessment and instruction.
While Beloit's scores need improvement, school leaders said they are making changes in hopes of seeing academic gains.
"Because we had the reconfiguration in our district at the same time, we're really looking at this as the first year, getting data that's a baseline for us," said Tourdot.
Schulte said during the last three to four years, the Janesville School District has been making changes to their curriculum.
One school, Harrison Elementary, was rated as significantly exceeding expectations. Fourteen schools exceeded expectations and one school met expectations.
Other local schools made the grade Tuesday.
Verona exceeded expectations with a 74.4, Middleton-Cross Plains was rated at an 80.1, and Waunakee was a bit higher at an 81.6. Mount Horeb was rated at a 78.8 and Sun Prairie got a 74. The Columbus School District meets expectations with a 71.8.

ey, how's it going? It's me, Cecil, and I'm back to talk to you today about a classic game from my childhood. The Legend of Dragoon is a game developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment and the Japan Studio. The game is a great look into one of the most beloved genres of the 90's, the Turn Based RPG, better known as JRPGs.
My guess is that the epic game, four discs in length, was a response to the success of Final Fantasy VII nearly three years prior. Final Fantasy spanned three discs of game, lasting 40-60 hours, depending on how you play and whether or not you struggle with some areas. The Legend of Dragoon clocks in at 80 hours of play, according the back of the game case. So this game will eat away at your time, if you decide to pick it up.
I myself am about 15 hours in and have just finished disc one, but that was only done so quickly with the aid of a walkthrough, so for someone playing it for the first time, with little knowledge, I would add another 5 or so hours, taking it up to about 20 hours per disc by my guess. This makes the game longer than many games that come out today, unfortunately, at time of writing, this game costs more to get a copy of than most new games do.
So, let's get the graphics out of the way. The game looks good, for the time at least. Coming out in 1999 for the Playstation 1 does mean that it was very limited in what it could do, resulting in some rather primitive 3d models, but some things really shine. One hallmark of 90's RPGs, was pre-rendered 3d backgrounds, which meant the area was made in 3d to a pretty high quality, then saved as a 2d image with pathing rules, and layers, so it appeared 3d as you walked around the map.
Doing things this way meant that they weren't so heavily limited by the system hardware, and could improve the model quality of the characters, which makes me curious as to what they would have looked like without this. One thing this did, was made it pretty clear whether something was part of the background or something to be interacted with, helping with locating treasure and similar things.
As with many other RPGs at the time, when you enter a random battle, the models of the characters improve, so you get a better look and it feels more comfortable when they perform the attack animations. Lastly the cutscenes. Not many PS1 games had pre-rendered digital cutscenes, mostly they were 2d animation or live action film. The Legend of Dragoon was one of the few games to include full 3d animated cutscenes, complete with voice acting, which brings us onto the next section…
Audio. So some things about the sound in The Legend of Dragoon are really good, and some things are a bit lacking. The first stand out point for me, is that I can't really remember any of the music from the game, which isn't totally bad, because the music isn't awful at least. The small snippets I do remember about the music, remind me a lot of the music from Final Fantasy 7 to be honest, in fact, I remember the first big boss battle. The fight started and the music fired up, to which my immediate response was "that sounds a bit like Final Fantasy 7, oh wait, no it is different, just about." This is at least my only issue with the sound in this game, because it included voice acting, which wasn't common at all in games at this time. The cutscenes, though few and far between (only two on the whole of disc one), do have full voice over, which blew my little mind as a child, but this isn't the only time that real voices are heard, in fact, you will hear a real voice in nearly every battle form the beginning of the game until the end, but that's more for the gameplay section, which is coming up right…
Now! So, from a first glance, this game appears to have the same kind of gameplay as Final Fantasy and the many other JRPGs of the 80's and 90's, walking around the map, or overworld, and running into random encounters, and also the occasional scripted boss battle or something similar. Once the combat starts though, things get a bit more interesting, for starters, magic is rare, and doesn't even exist for the first few hours, but eventually, you gain the abilities of Dragoon forms, which is tied to the games story and is one of the unique selling points of the game. Whilst in dragoon form, you gain increased attack, defense, and the ability to cast magic.
Dragoon form comes at a price though, it costs spirit points, which are built up by performing combos on your basic attacks, these combos are called additions and are the other unique thing about this game's combat. Additions work like quick time events, requiring a well timed button press to complete, with the game throwing in enemy counters once you are used to this mechanic. So even though it is a turn based game, it's not just choosing attack from a menu and then waiting. Some Additions require multiple button presses, with each correctly timed hit adds SP to the gauge, but missing one ends the combo, meaning that you miss out on the voice actors saying the name of the combo when you finish it. Every. damn. Time.
Overall the game is something I heartily recommend if you liked the old Final Fantasy games, but if you're a rather impatient person, I'd say give it a miss, or just read the story online. Which is a shame, the story is great, it just sucks that it takes so long to get through it.
Anyway that's all from me this week, I'll see you guys around some time, have a good week.

Dilworth, is Charlotte, NC's oldest streetcar suburb located between East Blvd and Uptown Charlotte. Named after Edward Dilworth Latta who moved to Charlotte in 1876. He took the 442 level and treeless acres and built the basic road infrastructure in a grid format with wide streets intersecting at right angles. Dilworth at one time in the 1890's hosted a horse track, baseball stadium and streetcars. Dilworth became one of Charlotte's most developed and busy areas for housing and commerce. This trend still continues today and homes in Dilworth are some of the most sought after properties and do not last long on the market even in tough times.
Dilworth is known for its pricey renovated bungalows, historic homes, lovely parks, churches and leafy, sidewalk-lined streets. East Boulevard forms the neighborhood's spine, offering restaurants, pubs, trendy shops and office space within easy walking distance of nearby homes. Homes in Dilworth are typically on the high end, per square foot, but new condo development along the fringes of the area offer more affordable living in an exceptional location. Rated as on of Charlotte's most walk-able neighborhoods as residents have easy access to parks, East Blvd with all of its shops and restaurants, its wide variety of home styles with unique architecture.
Don't miss: the Yiasou Greek Festival at Holy Trinity Church off East Boulevard each year the first week in September.

Microsoft is hosting an event about its Surface tablet line in New York City tomorrow at 11am Eastern. The company is widely expected to announce some new Surface hardware, the first since the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 were unveiled back in late September.
Current rumors suggest that we'll get a Surface Mini out of the event, a 7- or 8-inch tablet that runs Windows RT and may or may not include a digitizer pen. Anonymous sources have also whispered about a new Intel-based Surface, though whether that would be a Surface Pro 3, a larger Surface tablet, or some kind of Surface laptop is the subject of some debate. Expect any new tablets to include their own arrays of covers and accessories.
Whatever Microsoft reveals, we'll be there on the scene to cover the announcement and go hands-on with the new gadgets. Full reviews will follow as soon as we can procure hardware.

'Listening' and the New Missal
So much of the focus on the new Roman Missal and its English translation has been on the people's parts of the Mass.
For many months now, we've been hearing that we now will say things like "And with your spirit" instead of "And also with you" and "I believe" rather than "We believe," among many other changes. Churches will provide pew cards with the exact words the people must say. "Consubstantial" will become a new word in modern Catholics' vocabulary.
This is a major change in the Catholic Church, and we expect that there will be media attention. In some places, Catholics emerging from Mass on the First Sunday of Advent may be greeted by local reporters, asking for their reaction to the changes. Do you feel comfortable with the new way of saying things? Does it make you feel funny to have to say "Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault" while striking your breast three times? Do you wish things had remained simple, as they have been since 1969?
But the new translation of the Mass is as much about what we hear when we attend Mass as it is about what we are saying: the Eucharistic Prayers and the Propers — prayers that change according to the liturgical season or saints' feast days.
Those prayers are a treasure trove of beautifully expressed petitions to God the Father, filled with poetic imagery that will help all in the Church "lift up their hearts to the Lord."
Take, for example, the Prayer Over the Offerings for the Fourth Sunday of Advent:
May the Holy Spirit, O Lord,
sanctify these gifts laid upon your altar,
just as he filled with his power the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Through Christ our Lord …
Or this excerpt from the Second Eucharistic Prayer:
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,
by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall,
so that they may become for us
the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
According to the norms of Liturgiam Authenticam, the 2001 Vatican instruction on translating the liturgy into the vernacular, the Missal has been translated in a way that is more faithful to the original Latin — and thus of a character more fitting for worship of the Almighty, not in everyday language like what we'd hear at the coffee hour after Mass. It is closer to poetry or great prose.
These new translations are bound to provide for the soul something more akin to a feast than fast food. They contain expressions of prayer that one can savor, much as one can enjoy the taste of fine cuisine.
Thus, the new translation provides a richer opportunity for Catholics to listen with the heart, responding to the voice that is beyond the words, that is, the call of God, and entering more deeply into prayer. In this way, we can actively participate in the liturgy.
Bishop Edward Slattery of Tulsa, Okla., in a recent interview at NCRegister.com, observed: "Moreover, the announcement of the new translation has sparked an opportunity to renew our commitment to an active participation in the liturgy. We should come to the liturgy with an interior disposition that it is something which we can only receive. It is a gift from God. And, as part of our reception of that gift, we must listen with a loving heart to what God has to tell us."
That takes some effort on our part. In a society where a multitude of concerns incessantly seek our attention, and when our attachment to tech devices — in an attempt to "stay connected" — often leads to a disconnect with those who are physically present, let alone with the Divine, we need to disconnect from the world as we make our way to church. Eastern Christians, both Orthodox and Catholic, sing the "Cherubic Hymn" in their Divine Liturgy as the priest brings in the bread and wine in a procession symbolic of Christ's entry into Jerusalem: "Let us now lay aside all earthly cares." Christians in the West sometimes sing something similar: "Let all mortal flesh keep silence ... ponder nothing earthly minded."
That is the first requirement before we can listen at prayer. The effort we make in quieting our souls in the midst of a busy, noisy world can help us become "communicants" (in more than one sense), fully engaged with the greatest prayer of the Church, the Mass.
May we suggest, then, that we take advantage of this important change in the Church in the English-speaking world to recommit ourselves to an active participation in the liturgy. Rather than coming to church unprepared and unrecollected, as we so often do in our busy lives, and then just waiting for the "action" to begin on the part of the priest and other ministers, let us arrive a little earlier, open the Missal and read the proper prayers and Scripture readings of the day in a contemplative manner. Then, we will be more attuned to their meaning in the context of the Mass.
Taking the example above, the Prayer Over the Offerings for the Fourth Sunday of Advent, for instance, one can allow the imagery to draw one into a meditation on the similarity between the Incarnation, when the Holy Spirit overshadowed the Virgin of Nazareth, and the Consecration, when that same Spirit overshadows the gifts on the altar — gifts of bread and wine that come from "the work of our hands."
Through these prayers, what does the Lord wish to tell us? Just as we might savor a good meal, let us take our time contemplating each prayer or reading that speaks in a special way to us at that moment.
Let it lead us into conversation with God.

HIBBING, Minn. (AP) — It's been 20 years since one of Minnesota's deadliest airplane tragedies killed 18 people near Hibbing.
On this day in 1993, a commuter plane that departed from Minneapolis crashed. Sixteen passengers and two crew members on Northwest Airlink Flight 5719 died. The plane crashed into an iron-ore mound on approach to the Chisholm-Hibbing Airport.
There was light snowfall and freezing drizzle at the time. But a National Transportation Safety Board investigation faulted the pilot, questioning his proficiency at the controls and his excessively steep descent.
There is a plaque at the site of crash.

DOVER, Del. – A blocked punt and recovery for a touchdown by freshman defensive end Dashaun Cummings with 3:45 left in the third keyed the No. 19 Wesley College's football team's, 20-13 victory over Menlo College on Saturday afternoon at Scott D. Miller Stadium. The Wolverines improve to 6-2 on the season while the Oaks fall to 3-4.
Menlo led 7-3 at the half but Wesley scored 17 points in the third quarter to take a 20-7 lead with one quarter left to play. Joe Callahan found the endzone on a read-option run from six yards out to put the Wolverines back on top, 10-7 with 10:50 left. Jon Storck then extended the lead to six points with a 33 yard field goal five minutes later.
After Storck's field goal, Wesley forced a three-and-out, and Cummings, one of five Wolverine freshmen from Westlake High School in Waldorf, Md., bulldozed through the Oaks offensive line, blocked the punt and fell on the ball deep in the endzone for the touchdown with 3:45 left in the third.
To start the fourth quarter, Menlo drove 37 yards for a touchdown, but Roderick Caine, another former Westlake standout, blocked the extra point to keep Wesley's lead at 20-13 with 13:41 left in the game.
Wesley was unable to get anything going on its ensuing possession and wound up fumbling a punt attempt, giving the Oaks the ball deep in Wolverine territory. Jared Morris and Malik Jones came up big defensively and forced a turnover on downs, helping Wesley maintain the seven point lead. A punt by Ryan Gerlitz backed Menlo up to around midfield and Morris intercepted a pass by Oaks quarterback Wade Hawkins at the one-yard line to prevent a possible tied score
Following another Gerlitz punt, the Wolverines forced another turnover on downs deep in their own territory and Jamar Baynard sealed the victory after back-to-back runs of 20 and eight yards, along with a 15-yard face mask penalty.
Baynard finished with a team-high 34 rushing yards on four carries while Callahan completed 15 passes for 93 yards. Kyle George was the leading receiver for the Wolverines with five catches for 37 yards.
Sosthene Kapepula led Wesley's defense with 11 tackles and 1.5 TFLs while Jordan Wescott was credited with nine stops and three pass breakups. Dominique Herald also returned to the field and picked off a pass for the Wolverines, who came into the game leading the Nation in interceptions.
The Wolverines are off next weekend but will travel to Division I Charlotte on Saturday, November 2 for a 12 pm kickoff. The 49ers are an in their inaugural season as an FCS Independent and will become a BCS team in the 2015 season, before becoming bowl eligible in 2016.

I am trying to use FFTInv_CToC_SC32_Sfs Signal Processing function in my application .
I want to use float values as input values to this function like 0.000012, 0.001953,0.002049,0.003508.
I am trying to use conversion factor as 32768(i.e. 2^15) to convert input values like
inp = (OMX_S32) (0.000012 * (1 << 15)); here inp is OMX_S32 variable.
Like this I am also converting output value of FFTInv using conversion factor like…
out = (float)out_FFTInv / 32768 ;
By this way I am not getting proper output values.
how to do scaling of float values so I can use that as OMX integer and get proper output from FFTInv function ?

Security Mirrors
Security Mirrors - Prevent Losses Due to Theft - Use security mirrors to monitor blind spots in your warehouse or store to keep an eye on guests, employees, or customers. These mirrors also allow you to keep an eye on entrances and exits for security purposes. Hanging these mirrors helps you keep an eye on inventory to prevent theft.
Loss Prevention
Security mirrors allow you to keep an eye on aisles in your store or areas of your warehouse that aren't otherwise easily visible. This allows you to keep a safe distance while still monitoring employees or customers for any kind of suspicious activity, especially theft that can lead to big financial losses. The mirrors don't require wiring and are easy to install with just a few tools and hardware, making them an excellent economical investment.
A Mirror for Every Need
There are many type of security mirrors available depending on your needs and the size of the area you wish to monitor. Full-dome mirrors allow for 360-degree viewing of an area to give you a view from almost any angle, while half-dome mirrors provide you with 180-degree viewing and can be installed flush against walls. Round mirrors are adjustable rather than static, giving you lots of viewing options.
Theft Deterrent
Besides providing you with a way to monitor employees or customers for theft, security mirrors also act as a deterrent. When a thief sees these domed mirrors, they may think they are being recorded by security cameras and might think twice before trying to get away with any of your merchandise. This prevents a potentially costly act from happening, ensuring the safety of your employees and inventory.

Hey Scriblings,
It feels like ages since I've posted here. I missed last month entirely! That's because I've been working diligently on finishing my non-fiction book, OVERCOME your SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE (A Practical Guide to Improving Health, Fitness, and Well-being for Desk Dwellers and Couch Potatoes). I'm finally done with the first draft and working on revisions…yayyy! The book should be available for preorder in November and will release in January, 2016. Although writing non-fiction is easier in some ways than novel writing, it still requires a tremendous amount of research to get the facts straight. After all, I'm not just making it up as I go along and people are counting on me to get it right.
Another hold up was that I had written several sections and then decided afterwards that they weren't quite right for this particular book. One such section was a chapter at the end of the book I was going to call PJ's Pantry, listing all the healthy foods I stock in my pantry, fridge, and freezer. But once I started researching all of these "healthy" foods, I was shocked–and more than a little disappointed–that some of them were not as healthy as I had thought. With "hidden" chemicals and unhealthy additives, my list quickly grew shorter and shorter! In good conscience, I couldn't put them in the book without adding all the research I'd done as well.
Since information about which foods are healthy and which are not seems to change daily, I decided instead, to put PJ's Pantry on my website rather than have it in the book where it would be more difficult to update and change as new information arose. Feel free to stop by and check it out. I'm sure you'll find some helpful tips on stocking a "healthy" pantry and you may find some interesting tidbits on foods you thought were good for you, and why they may not be.
In other fun news, I'll be signing books at the Granville Harvest Fair again this year. If you're in the New England area and looking for a fun place to hang out with the kids Columbus Day weekend, I hope you'll stop by. There will be the usual yummy food vendors, pies, crafts, face painting and scarecrow contest, as well as the magnificent quilt display at the old meeting house. And you'll definitely want to visit the Noble and Cooley Drum factory museum, built in 1854 and still making drums for today's musicians. I'll be down next to the library where they'll be having a huge book sale (all the books you can fit into a bag for $5). You can swing by my tent and grab a book mark and say hi on your way out, LOL. We had wonderful weather last year, so hopefully the sunshine and warmth will be in our favor again.
I'll leave you all with one of my favorite smoothie recipes.
Green Choco Monkey Smoothie
Inspired by my addiction to the Coco Monkey Smoothie from the Granby Village Health Food Store in Granby, CT., I've adapted their recipe and added a few twists.
1 cup Silk Chocolate Almond Milk
1 tbsp. Almond butter (or organic peanut butter)
1 frozen banana (peeled and cut into pieces)
1 scoop Green's Organics Superfood (Amazonian Chocolate) powder. (According to the label, 1 scoop has the nutrients equal to 7 servings of fruits and veggies!)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
(I also add a tsp. of Maca powder for an extra energy burst)
Blend all ingredients on high (Smoothie setting on Blendtec) for 45-60 seconds until smooth. Drink and enjoy!
Do you have a favorite smoothie recipe you'd care to share?

In case you don't cruise down 17th Street in Costa Mesa/Newport area your missing out. They have great restaurants up and down the street but a little bakery is what holds a special place in my heart.
They have locations in LA and one here off of Westcliff and Irvine Avenue in Newport Beach. Just a hop skip and a jump from my house.
I thought that they would be crowed with lots of people getting their sweethearts some treats but when I first walked in, they weren't that busy but when I walked out they had a long line. But the staff was still very helpful and sweet! The young lady that helped me out even offered to tie up my boxes with cute SusieCakes ribbon. Nice touch! And I am a sucker for good packaging so I loved that.
I got two HUGE chocolate covered strawberries and two cupcakes for $14. Yes, that sounds pricey, but that's the going rate around the OC for a gourmet cupcake, $3. The strawberries had a thick layer of chocolate and the actual strawberries were juicy and sweet. The cake on the cupcake was moist and just sweet enough to pair with the cream cheese.
Not cheap! But worth the splurge! I was still craving that cream cheese frosting on the red velvet for two days! And the frosting even comes on the inside of the cupcakes. I can't vouch for the chocolate that was HungryPoppa's treats.
On my next treat there I wanna try their sour cream cheesecake. YUM!
Then on to Memphis in Costa Mesa for our dinner...

Steve Jobs was famous for the ingenious simplicity of his designs. And, of course, his single button iPhone, now the standard in smart phoning, is a great testament to the value of simplicity.
As in design, simplicity in pricing, and a related simplicity of choices, are appealing to consumers. There is even empirical evidence that consumers will buy more when they aren't overwhelmed with too much clutter and too many choices.
The U.S. Postal Service has enjoyed some success with simple pricing. The best example is the Flat Rate Box. The combination of uncomplicated messaging – "If it fits, it ships" – and ease of use – a handful of shape offerings, each with a single price attached to it – have made the Flat Rate Box a critical piece of the Postal Service's growing package business.
And so far, the Postal Service is sticking primarily with weight-based pricing for packages, and not introducing any further dimensional (DIM) weight package rates. FedEx and UPS both just moved to the more-difficult-to-calculate DIM weight pricing scheme on ground shipments.
Still, most Postal Service pricing is far from simple. There were 8,779 different package prices alone in fiscal year 2014, up 22 percent from two years earlier. Of that total, a quarter are retail prices and three-quarters are commercial prices. Furthermore, nearly 1,100 Parcel Select prices are not used, and 5,840 prices for packages weighing more than 20 pounds are never or rarely used. We recently looked at package pricing at the Postal Service and found its complexity might intimidate customers. We urged the organization to consider eliminating prices that are rarely or never used. We also suggested periodic evaluation of market demand to see if it makes sense to introduce other Flat Rate products.
But, it's also worth considering whether pricing can be too simple, at least for commercial customers. While individuals welcome pricing that's easy to calculate, businesses that ship large volumes can benefit from a range of options, which gets them closer to customized pricing. It also helps them shave off every possible penny of shipping expenses. And, of course, some degree of complexity is necessary so prices appropriately reflect costs. Such is the case with zoned rates for Priority Mail, because packages traveling across regions or zones cost more to deliver than those moving within a zone.
So, turns out pricing simplicity may not be quite that simple.
Do the Postal Service's pricing options meet your shipping needs? Do you find pricing too complex? Or, do you wish there were more options? Should the Postal Service introduce more Flat Rate Box or other specialty packaging items?

Though only the second directorial effort from John Milius (Conan the Barbarian, Red Dawn), 1975's The Wind and the Lion remains a confident, ambitious and entertaining combination of historical drama and creative license. Sean Connery stars as Mulay Achmed Mohammed el-Raisuli the Magnificent, sherif of the Riffian Berbers...or just plain "Raisuli", if you're in a rush. His Moroccan raiding party kidnaps an American expatriate, Eden Pedecaris (Candice Bergen) and her two children, William and Jennifer, in an attempt to disrespect the ineffective Sultan Abdelaziz (Marc Zuber). Meanwhile, President Teddy Roosevelt (Brian Keith) uses the kidnapping to bolster his "Big Stick" policy and upcoming 1904 re-election campaign. Not surprisingly, The Wind and the Lion's international intrigue gives it a "big picture" mentality, but the head-butting relationship between Raisuli and his feisty captive adds another layer of interest to the adventure.
Connery's performance as Raisuli is a highlight and doubles as an interesting turn from his previous involvement in the James Bond franchise and his red, shiny appearance in the previous year's Zardoz. The blind casting of Connery (not to mention that 99% of the spoken dialogue is English) may feel awkward at first, but Milius' formula gels quickly and settles into a nice groove during the film's surprisingly brisk 119-minute lifespan. Raisuli serves as a terrific foil for the spunky Pedecaris ("You're a great deal of trouble!") and their initial friction provides many of the film's most memorable exchanges. Brian Keith's rugged, confident portrayal of "T.R." is another highlight, serving up more than enough swagger and charisma to channel the popular two-time President. Though Raisuli, Pedecaris and Roosevelt never meet face-to-face, their paths meet at interesting turns and serve as anchors for The Wind and the Lion's character-driven plot.
Not all of the film's strength's lie in its characters, however. Milius' story, very loosely based on the Perdicaris Incident of 1904, provides an accessible backdrop for this multi-layered adventure, while the terrific battle sequences are nearly as violent as Conan. Machine guns, cannons, shotguns, swords and more are the tools of the trade, while top-notch stunt work and smart editing cement these action set-pieces as some of the decade's very best. Other inspiration was drawn from David Lean epics like Lawrence of Arabia, Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch and even the stories of celebrated English author Rudyard Kipling. The production design by Gil Parrondo uses Spanish locations to great effect, while the energetic, swashbuckling score by Jerry Goldsmith is yet another feather in the famed composer's cap.
Warner Archives' new Blu-ray package of The Wind and the Lion aims to overtake their own 2004 DVD and, despite that previous edition's modest strengths, it's no contest in the A/V department. This terrific 1080p transfer and the accompanying DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track easily boost the film's effectiveness, especially during the film's chaotic, bloody battle sequences. As for the bonus features...well, nothing new is included, but nothing has been lost either.
Much like its parent company, Warner Archives has established a reputation for serving up quality transfers and The Wind and the Lion is no exception. Framed at 2.35:1, this 1080p transfer easily outpaces the already strong presentation of the 2004 DVD. Image detail and textures are uniformly strong, colors are evenly saturated, no excessive digital manipulation could be spotted and a modest layer of grain maintains the film-like quality throughout. It's not surprising that a generally high-profile production largely shot outdoors under natural light, not to mention lensed by Billy Williams (Gandhi), looks this good...but old and new fans alike should be thrilled with this transfer nonetheless.
It's not a consistently bombastic experience, but this DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track (based on the original 70mm release six-track mix) opens up nicely at times, certainly more than expected for a 1975 picture. Jerry Goldsmith's score also fares well from start to finish, while most of the dialogue is anchored squarely up front. The sporadic battle sequences hit hard (especially during the third act) and bustling crowd sequences also feature several hints of rear channel ambiance. The only anomalies I could pick up were a few mild echoes during certain outdoor conversations, but this is probably due to the original ADR and not the actual post-production mix. Any way you slice it, first-time viewers will be thoroughly impressed and those revisiting The Wind and the Lion will appreciate the extra punch and careful attention to sonic detail. Just for the record, optional English SDH subtitles are included during the main feature only.
The Wind and the Lion certainly has a lot going for it: plenty of talent behind (and in front of) the camera, an ambitious scope, an engaging story, terrific production design, hard-hitting action and even a nice little dose of humor. First-time viewers will be mighty impressed. The film's 40th anniversary is almost here and, while The Wind and the Lion hardly feels that old, in many ways it also fits in nicely with historical epics from decades earlier. Sean Connery and Candice Bergen's lead performances are career highlights and Brian Keith holds his own as good old "T.R.". Warner Bros' "Archive Collection" release of The Wind and the Lion should please long-time fans, serving up a top-notch A/V presentation and a handful of recycled but informative extras. It's priced a bit higher than recent Warner catalog titles like Get Carter and Conspiracy Theory but worth picking up as a blind buy or upgrade from the 2004 DVD. Highly Recommended.

Hi there, thank you all for the comments!
Scottttt - yeah it's the moon, but actually it came up from behind the mountain like in the sunrise - I missed that very moment, but everyone said it was breathtaking.
Sara - yes I did meet Nigella Lawson in LA last year when she was on her US tour for the promotin of her latest book. She was totally down-to-earth and friendly, and I was lucky enough to have a little chat with her as there weren't a huge crowd of people yet. I'll post about the apple pie I made from her book soon.
Patric - congratulations on your acquisition of a new camera! I wish I could give you a nice trick or two as to how to take pictures, but I'm no expert and I have actually never tried a Panasonic camera myself.... but I do wish you a good luck!
eRnee - good for you! Depending on how long you can stay here, but Kyoto is a must as long as it's not in the summer (the weatehr could gets unbelievably lousy there). Shame but I myself haven't been around much in the country, but I have always wanted to bring myself to Hokkaido sometime.

A splinter faction of the Horde is planning to invade Rhinebeck, New York, site of a yearly sheep and wool festival. I've been asked to bring to your attention their nefarious plans, so that you can join them.
The organizing committee of Mattir, Muse, and Onion Girl have meet and have begun to plan the Horde invasion of Rhinebeck. The best way to think of this is a mini-Horde con* that just happens to happen near sheep. You are welcome even if you don't like sheep – there are plenty of things for you to do (maple sugar cotton candy for one).
Rhinebeck will happen from Friday, October 19 to Sunday October 21st. We will arrive at the hotel on Friday and have a Horde pizza party. Saturday morning will be a trip to Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool (or other activities as people want) then a nice dinner out at a restaurant on Saturday evening followed by debauchery as desired. Sunday we'll have brunch together then get on the road.
Slightly differently than last year, we are going to make it an upfront cost that you can pay into over time, rather than having to come up with hotel costs all at once (and have us having to cover for the person who forget to pay their room cost). We are estimating that the cost is going to be around $350, although that might go down. That $350 will cover your room cost, the party room, pizza on Saturday and brunch on Sunday as well as entry into Rhinebeck and snacks throughout the weekend. Additionally, built into that cost is eeeeeevil socialism. We'd like to be able to support some people who would not otherwise be able to attend because of lack of money – so we've rounded that number up a bit (yes, if you can toss in a bit extra toward the scholarship fund we'd appreciate that too).
All of that said, we need to start figuring out who is going to attend. To that end, we've created an email address, a poll, and a paypal account. Mattir, Onion Girl and Muse all have access to all three. The email address is RhinebeckHorde at google's email service.
If you have any questions, please email us.
*Yes, there will be a harassment policy. It will be made by radical, shrieking, feminist harpies and will be enforced by making sure no one has any fun (and sharp pointy sticks). No, you may not sexually harass the sheep.
Whew, good. I was wondering what their intent towards the sheep might be.
Wait, what? A Pharyngula assault on a sheep and wool festival? What have I wrought?

LS2 Helmets, a Spanish crash helmet manufacturer, has been producing high quality helmets at very reasonable prices since 1999. Due partly to the obvious advantage of their 100% in house production process LS2 can cater for all tastes with their comprehensive range of almost every type of crash helmet available. No matter whether you prefer half-shell, open-face, fully-faced or even flip-up helmets, the choice is vast, including many different graphic styles, designs and colours.
If you automatically consider such low prices as representing poor quality, then these excellent helmets are proof that the opposite is sometimes also possible.

Hey y'all...
Did you know that when I started my adult life in the southernmost part of the United States, I swore I would never say y'all?
It didn't last long, and now I am a proud, card-carrying member, of the Y'all speakers.
Sometimes I even go for the glory with an all y'all, but those are special, and must not be used too often.
But that's not what I came here to say...
What I really wanted to say, y'all, was that I am going to take a bloggers break for the rest of this week.
I'm workin' mighty-hard, (ok, the y'all's have got me typin' with a Texas twang) this week on a few projects.
The first is trying to figure out how to make a slightly larger, sweet four-year-old, version of the crochet hat I shared with you on Friday. I made one yesterday and it turned out too big.
The Girl appreciated my learning curve as she ran out for drama camp this morning...in her new flowered crochet cloche. So today I have been working on down sizing a bit.
The other project I've got going is Christmas stuff...yes, Christmas.
For several years I have made gifts for my nieces and nephews. As they get older and more sophisticated, its getting a little bit more challenging in some ways, and easier in others. But I am almost certain I have narrowed down the gifts for my nieces. Here is a sneak peek at the might-be-the-christmas-gifts-for-nieces-work-in-progress...
I think I would do each hat in the girls fave color and do a mix of flowers.
Not sure what I'm doing for the nephews yet, but I am certain I am going to make this for The Boy because he has been asking me to let him have a mohawk for about a year. I'm going to love laughing on Christmas morning when I tell him he can finally have his mohawk.
I will admit to you that I am a bit obsessed focused on these projects at the moment. And I have a tendency to forget all other things when in this mode....eating? cleaning? working out? what are those things?
I'm in the crochet zone.
Ah, the life of a capricious crafter.
Have a great week, y'all.

Rodgers expecting new arrivals
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers remains hopeful of bringing in new players before next Thursday's transfer deadline.
The Reds, who have already signed striker Daniel Sturridge this month, have been heavily linked with Inter Milan playmaker Philippe Coutinho but no deal has yet materialised. Wales captain Ashley Williams has also been mentioned as a potential target while Blackpool winger Tom Ince has long been the subject of rumours suggesting he could return to Anfield.
Rodgers said: "We hope to do some business between now and the end of the month."
He went on: "The owners have been brilliant in supporting (me), we knew we were maybe a little bit short in the summer.
"We all agreed this was a month we would try to reinforce, if we could.
"Very quickly we got Daniel Sturridge in and he has made a big impact, proving the owners were right to fund the money for him.
"With respect, £12million for a player like Daniel Sturridge is a real bargain and I think he will prove that over the next couple of seasons.
"We know we still need one or two additions more and the club are doing everything they can to assist me in that.
"If we can then great, if not we will have review it again in the summer."

Grae's Rating:
It's a piece of smurf.
Who's In It: Neil Patrick Harris, Hank Azaria, Jayma Mays, Tim Gunn, Sofia Vergara, and the Voices of Jonathan Winters, Alan Cumming, Katy Perry, Fred Armisen, George Lopez, Anton Yelchin
The Basics: That pesky Gargamel just won't let a rivalry die, and even after all these years is still determined to capture Smurf essence and use it to do something nefarious. He thought he had them cornered in Smurf village, but when a portal opens up to New York, some Smurfs escape his clutches. He follows them in the hopes he can snatch them in the Big Apple. What he didn't count on was that smurfy goodwill that would convince ad exec Patrick (Harris) and his pregnant wife Grace (Mays) to intervene and put a hitch in his plans.
What's The Deal: No amount of putting "smurf" into normal words could make this movie interesting or cute. As per usual, I kept an ear out for what the children in the theater found funny, and the biggest laughs were Gargamel falling into a pile of garbage bags and Clumsy falling into the toilet. Those were the two big moments, and I'm convinced that the small giggles I heard during the other 84 minutes of the film were brought on by kids fooling with their parent's cell phones. For me, obviously far past the target Smurf demographic, the crowning achievement of the film is when Elway the hound dog beats a bass drum pedal with his paw. I also really enjoyed Narrator Smurf. So adults, you can count on tuning this one out.
Sorry, Peyo: Admittedly, the original Smurfs cartoon doesn't age particularly well either. Once you're old enough to have had sex or done drugs, the Smurfs loses a lot of its appeal. However, even watching the old cartoons (which I immediately did after seeing the film, for research purposes) prompts at least a faint amount of laughter and fondness. They are simple and elegant, starring funny little blue folks whose names make character development unnecessary. This movie lacked inventiveness and never felt fun. The performers in it are doing their best, and I send out sincere condolences to Hank Azaria, who desperately tried to make the film watchable. It didn't work, Hank, but I did enjoy watching you walk dramatically through steam pockets in New York.
Imagine The Possibility: When pointless movies like this come out, I can't help but wonder what these talented artists could have been doing besides earning this paycheck. The Smurfs are really cute and their eyes are creepily lifelike, which means I could have just looked at stills of the film while listening to the last Katy Perry album for a much more desirable effect.

The following pictures show a polished Travertine kitchen and dining room floor at a house in the small village of Abthorpe near Towcester. The stone floor had lost its shine and had become dull and difficult to clean which was mainly due to the holes that had appeared in the surface of the Travertine where dirt had become ground in and trapped. This is a common problem with all Travertine stone, the holes are natural and usually filled at the factory but due to wear and tear over time and the use of acidic cleaning products the filler can become dislodged. The small holes gave the floor an unsightly appearance and become magnets to dirt.
We find the best way to restore the shine is to apply a set of diamond encrusted burnishing pads, they take off the layer of dirt and then slowly build a resilient polish on the surface; however, to get the best results we would need to fill the holes in the Travertine.
Burnishing and Cleaning a Travertine Tiled Floor
I gave the floor a sweep to remove any loose dirt and grit and started with the application of the first pad which is a coarse 400-grit and designed to remove minor scratches, old sealers and ingrained dirt. The pads fit a 17" buffer machine and is applied with water to lubricate the process, then once the pad has been applied to each tile the floor is rinsed with water and the resultant slurry is extracted using a wet vacuum.
Before moving onto the second pad in the set I gave the grout lines a clean with Tile Doctor Pro-Clean which was scrubbed into the grout using a stiff narrow brush. The pads can struggle to reach into the recessed grout lines, so I usually find this is the best way to get the grout clean.
The floor was given another rinse with water and then I continued to work through the medium 800-grit and then fine 1500-grit pads rinsing with water and then extracting the slurry with a wet vacuum after each pad.
The Travertine was now clean and after drying with fans I commenced the task of filling the holes with stone filler that matched the natural colour of the stone as close as possible, in this case the colour we opted for to achieve the best match was Straw. These activities took up most of the day so once I was done filling I left for the day, so the filler and floor could dry out thoroughly overnight.
Sealing a Travertine Tiled Floor
I returned the following day and started by completing the polishing process by applying the last 3000-grit very fine burnishing pad with the 17" rotary machine, the pad is applied dry with a small amount of water sprayed on the floor as you go along. With the floor now fully dry and the filled holes polished flat the last step was to apply the sealer which will protect the floor going forwards.
With Travertine floors I usually recommend Tile Doctor Colour Grow which is a colour enhancing sealer or Ultra-Seal which is a natural look sealer. On this occasion the client preferred the natural look, so I applied two coats of Tile Doctor Ultra Seal and along with the previous polishing the floor now look transformed.

Firearms industry big donor to NRA
Millions help bring wins in Congress.
WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association and the firearms industry are locked and loaded in a mutually beneficial financial relationship that funnels millions of dollars into the NRA's coffers, yielding legislative triumphs on Capitol Hill that boost gun sales.
The NRA's "Ring of Freedom" corporate donors list — posted on its contributions Web site, www.nragive.com — reads like a who's who of gun, ammunition and ammunition magazine manufacturers, shooting-accessory providers and retailers.
Among them: Sturm, Ruger & Co. of Southport, Conn.; Smith & Wesson of Springfield, Mass., and Beretta USA, a subsidiary of the Italian arms manufacturer.
The website shows that since 2005, corporations have given between $19.8 million and $52.6 million — the vast majority of that from the firearms industry. Ruger said in a media release in April that it had donated $1.2 million to the NRA in the past 12 months.
An updated corporate donor list appeared on a plaque at the NRA's annual meeting in St. Louis in April. Captured in a photo obtained by the Violence Policy Center, an NRA opponent on gun control, the list includes Colt's Manufacturing Co. of West Hartford, Conn., and The Freedom Group Inc., whose Bushmaster plant in Ilion, N.Y., makes the brand of semi-automatic rifle used in the Newtown, Conn., school shootings Dec. 14.
Dollar totals for corporate donations on the updated list range between $22.2 million and $63.1 million.
"This program is geared toward your company's corporate interests," the NRA says in an online solicitation to corporate donors titled "The Future of Freedom" and signed by NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre.
Dues represent the lion's share of the NRA's income. In its 2010 tax return, available online, the NRA reported total revenue of $227.8 million, with $100.5 million coming from membership dues and $71.1 million from a catchall category, "Contributions, Gifts, Grants and Other Similar Amounts."
The NRA is hardly alone among membership organizations that seek out alliances with corporations whose interests parallel their own. But in the wake of rising gun sales and mass killings — such as those in Newtown and in Aurora, Colo., in July — gun control advocates and others are becoming more vocal in questioning the NRA's motives: Has the 4-million member group shed its traditional identity as defender of Second Amendment rights and promoter of safe firearms use and instruction in favor of a new one as gun-industry political front?
"The bottom line is the NRA is becoming a subsidiary of the gun industry," said Josh Sugarmann, Violence Policy Center executive director and principal author of last year's "Blood Money: How the Gun Industry Bankrolls the NRA."
"The NRA is in bed with the industry for love and money," he said.
Indeed, the NRA's chief lobbyist in 1996, Tanya Metaksa, told the Wall Street Journal: "The gun industry should send me a basket of fruit — our efforts have created a new market."
NRA public affairs director Andrew Arulanandam did not respond to an email request for comment. But NRA defenders say links between the NRA and firearms companies are the norm for advocacy organizations and industry players.
"Gun manufacturers are proud of their product," said David Kopel, research director of the Independence Institute in Denver and an NRA member. "They believe they make a good product which in the right hands can be wholesome for sporting purposes or life-saving in the hands of police. So of course they will give money to organizations that support ownership of firearms by law-abiding persons."
He compared the NRA-industry relationship to book publishers promoting literacy or opposing censorship.
Organizations such as the Sierra Club and Defenders of Wildlife benefit from contributions by companies such as Patagonia, a retailer of outdoor apparel and gear. And AARP, which represents the interests of millions of senior citizens, has a lucrative licensing agreement with United Healthcare for Medigap health insurance.
But Sugarmann insisted that comparisons to AARP and other organizations are irrelevant because "it's certain their corporate sponsorships are not killing 30,000 Americans a year" — the number of gun-related deaths in recent years, whether by homicide, suicide or accident.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry's main trade group based in Newtown, has been active in promoting gun-rights issues. But it opened a Washington office only in recent months, naming a Capitol Hill veteran, Patrick Rothwell, in August as its government relations director.
So it is hardly a surprise that the NRA has led the charge on Capitol Hill on gun rights vs. gun control, yielding a string of mostly victories that coincides with a spike in gun sales.
In the past five years, gun and ammunition sales have grown at a rate of 5.7 percent annually, according to a report by researcher IBISWorld.
Although the NRA was unable to block a 1994 assault weapons ban championed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., it was instrumental in seeing that Congress let it expire in 2004.
Other NRA victories that have helped the industry include:
• The 2003 Tiahrt amendment, named after former Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kansas. It hampered the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in releasing information on gun traces, making it more difficult for advocacy groups to detect gun-trafficking patterns and link purchases of guns used in crimes to particular gun dealers.
• Legislation in 2005 that immunized the gun industry from product liability lawsuits for guns used in homicides and other crimes.
• The McClure-Volkmer Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986, which loosened restrictions on licensed firearms dealers and unlicensed individuals selling weapons at gun shows. It also lowered barriers to interstate sales of guns, as well as ammunition through the mail.
Anecdotally, firearms dealers nationwide have reported a run on weapons by customers fearing new gun control measures in the aftermath of the Newtown shootings. Among the most popular items: the Bushmaster .223 AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, the one used by Adam Lanza in the Newtown shootings before he took his own life.
Gun dealers reported a similar sales spike after President Barack Obama won re-election, an event that LaPierre this year warned would spell the end of "all of what we know is good and right about America."
Kopel, of the Independence Institute, said NRA and gun industry fears of gun control are, in fact, justified.
"When someone is trying to destroy you, you have to improve your defensive capability, or you lose," he said.

OEF Summary, Nov. 10, 2009: Forces in Afghanistan Seize Bomb Materials
Dispatches from the Front:
KABUL, Nov. 10, 2009 -- Afghan National Police and international forces seized 250 tons of suspected bomb-making material and detained 15 people in a Nov. 8 raid in southeastern Afghanistan, military officials reported.
Based on reliable information, the combined force searched a warehouse in Kandahar province, where they seized 1,000 100-pound bags of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and detained 15 people. They found an additional 4,000 100-pound bags of fertilizer at a nearby compound, and also seized 5,000 components used in improvised explosive devices.
Ammonium nitrate fertilizer is a key ingredient in IEDs and is illegal in Afghanistan.
"This was a tremendous success for the Afghan National Police who led this operation," said Air Force Lt. Col. Todd Vician, an International Security Assistance Force spokesman. "This find will undoubtedly save many lives and points to the increasing capability of the Afghan national security forces."
In other operations in Afghanistan:
- A combined force detained several suspected insurgents in Logar province while pursuing a Taliban commander operating in the area and linked to other local Taliban shadow government leaders. The force targeted compounds in the Baraki Barak district after intelligence indicated militant activity there. The force searched the compounds without incident and detained the suspects.
- A combined force detained several suspected insurgents in Helmand province, including a sought-after Taliban leader linked to drug trafficking and responsible for weapons shipments to other militants in the area. The force searched a compound in the Garmsir district where sources reported the wanted man to be located. The force searched the compound without incident, recovered bomb-making materials and manuals and detained the suspects, one of whom identified himself as the Taliban leader. No shots were fired, and no civilians were injured.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — "Beautiful — The Carole King Musical" is obviously about the legendary singer-songwriter, but it's also about growing up, says the Broadway actress who has earned a Tony Award nomination for playing King.
"It happens to be about Carole King, and it focuses on her life and a very specific journey she took as an artist, I think," Jessie Mueller told CBS New York's Dana Tyler. "She always knew she wanted to be a songwriter from a very, very young age, and she knew she was extremely talented. But from my understanding of it, I don't think she ever knew that she was going to be the person bringing her songs to the world, which is eventually what happened."
Mueller is nominated for a Tony for best performance by an actress in a leading role in musical. It's her second Tony nod, also having been nominated for best featured actress in a musical for "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" in 2012.
She said her second nomination feels different.
"The fact that the show has been nominated and so many of the different elements, it just makes it sweeter," Mueller said. "We get to represent as a team, which is a great thing."
In all, "Beautiful" is up for seven Tonys, including best musical, best actor in a featured role (Jarrod Spector) and best actress in a featured role (Anika Larsen).
The Tony Awards will be held June 8 and broadcast on CBS 2.

Watch Decoding Neanderthals Preview on PBS. See more from NOVA.
What happened when the first modern humans encountered Neanderthals 60,000 years ago? In 2010, a team led by geneticist Svante Paabo announced that they had reconstructed much of the Neanderthal genome and the analysis showed that modern humans and Neanderthals had interbred, leaving a small signature of Neanderthal genes in everyone outside Africa today. NOVA explores the implications of this exciting discovery. Were Neanderthals really mentally inferior, as inexpressive and clumsy as the cartoon caveman they inspired? NOVA examines a range of new evidence for Neanderthal self-expression and language, suggesting that we may have underestimated our long-vanished cousins.

Book review: Before I Wake
BOOK: Before I Wake
AUTHOR: Rachel Vincent
PUBLISHER: Harlequin Teen
COVERING up her own murder is one thing - but faking life is much harder than Kaylee Cavanaugh expected.
She's had one hell of a year - she's discovered she's a banshee, found the strength to cope with her ex-boyfriend's addiction to Demon's Breath, journeyed to the Netherworld and encountered reapers and incubi and resurrected her best friend from the dead.
If you haven't read any of Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamer books I suggest you pick one up now and read the first five before you delve into the sixth instalment Before I Wake.
The book begins less than a month after the devastating events in the previous book and sees Kaylee return to school, trying to "recover" from her death.
Before I Die is thrilling, impossible to put down, well-written and dramatic.
It will certainly not disappoint fans.
