The first image from director Brian De Palma's Passion has gone online, and stars Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace look to be getting quite close. The film is a remake of the French thriller Love Crime and "tells the story of a deadly power struggle between two women in the dog-eat-dog world of international business." As is evident in this first image, the dog-eat-dog world of international business often includes making out with your colleagues/enemies. The story centers on the relationship between a woman and her "innocent, lovely and easily exploited" protégé. It's not clear which roles the actresses play, but judging by the unease on display in this image, I'm inclined to believe that Rapace assumes the protégé role.
Needless to say, it certainly sounds like De Palma has crafted a sexually charged thriller with a pair of gutsy performances, so I'm eager to check it out. Hit the jump to see the image along with a more detailed synopsis. Passion will be shopped for distribution at the Cannes Film Festival later this month.
Image and synopsis via The Playlist.
Here's the synopsis for Passion:
An erotic thriller in the tradition of "Dressed To Kill" and "Basic Instinct", Brian de Palma's PASSION tells the story of a deadly power struggle between two women in the dog-eat-dog world of international business. Christine possesses the natural elegance and casual ease associated with one who has a healthy relationship with money and power. Innocent, lovely and easily exploited, her admiring protégé Isabelle is full of cutting-edge ideas that Christine has no qualms about stealing. They're on the same team, after all… Christine takes pleasure in exercising control over the younger woman, leading her one step at a time ever deeper into a game of seduction and manipulation, dominance and humiliation. But when Isabelle falls into bed with one of Christine's lovers, war breaks out. On the night of the murder, Isabelle is at the ballet, while Christine receives an invitation to seduction. From whom? Christine loves surprises. Naked she goes to meet the mystery lover waiting in her bedroom…

The first game from the veteran game designer in four years
After 2012's successful Kickstarter campaign, we'll get our hands Jane Jensen's new game, Moebius: Empire Rising on April 15, 2014. It's Jensen's first game since 2010's Gray Matter, so it's been some time coming. Players will control the antiques dealer Malachi Rector (because in what other genre of game would you control an antiques dealer?) as he is tasked by a shadowy government agency to identify a mysterious woman.
The trailer that's been out for the game makes it look like your average adventure game but the strength of the genre is always the story, dialogue, and characters.
I'm keen to play Moebius: Empire Rising as I love adventure games that are detective mysteries, like Gemini Rue, so this is right up my alley. The PC and Mac versions are out on April 15 but the tablet and Linux version will follow later in the year.

Species In-Depth
At the Aquarium
Our anatomically correct (88 ft) fiberglass model of a female blue whale is named Edie. The calf, a male, is called Edison. The blue whale is also featured in signage, Whales: A Journey with Giants (a large screen, multimedia presentation), and the interactive kiosk, Whales: Voices in the Sea. Blue whales are seen in the wild as part of the Aquarium's whale watching adventures on our local Pacific Ocean waters.
Geographic Distribution
Seasonal breeding, calving, and feeding distribution in the global ocean's tropic, temperate, and drift-ice polar waters
The usual habitat of these whales is the open ocean and the edges of continental shelves except in polar regions where they follow retreating ice edges. At times they also frequent coastal and near island areas. In summer months they move about in cold water seeking foraging areas where there are large concentrations of krill. Most migrate to warm tropical and subtropical waters in winter months for calving and breeding. A large population formerly found in the Santa Barbara Channel off the California coast from June through September appears to be moving south recently. In 2007 they have been commonly seen in ocean waters near Long Beach, California (100 miles south of the Santa Barbara Channel).
Physical Characteristics
Blue whales have a smooth, slender, streamlined, and somewhat tapered body that begins with a pointed snout, and ends in broad triangular flukes that have a median notch and slightly concave or straight trailing edges. Their stubby and "tiny" (for an animal this size) dorsal fin is located three-quarters of the way along the back of their body. Its shape can be rounded, falcate (curved), or triangular. The rostrum of these whales is very flat, broad, and almost U-shaped. There is usually a single ridge that extends from the tip of the snout to just forward of the two blowholes. The blowholes are contained in a large raised splashguard. The slender pointed flippers are short for the body size. There are 55-68 throat grooves, or pleats, along the sides and ventrally that extend from the lower jaw to near or just beyond the navel.
Their baleen consists of 260 to 400 black, coarse, broad, overlapping plates hanging from each side of the upper jaw. The fringed plates taper from 51 cm (20 in) at the front to 102 cm (40 in) in length at the rear, the longest of the rorqual whales.
Blue whales are basically blue-gray in color, appearing aquamarine when under water. However, their true color varies among individuals from a uniform dark slate gray with little whitish mottling to a very light blue with extensive mottling. It is these mottling patterns, their unique fingerprints, which have formed the basis for photo identification of individual blue whales just as saddle and eye patches of killer whales and the black and white pigmentation of the underside of humpback flukes are used. The ventral side of their body is usually pale blue-gray or whitish, however, in whales that forage in cold polar waters it is often a yellowish color due to an accumulation of microscopic diatoms (one-cell algae). This coloration caused whalers to call blue whales "sulfur-bottoms". The tips of their flukes can be lighter than the rest of the flukes.
These whales are 24-30 m (78-100 ft) long and weigh 72,000-136,000 kg (160,000-300,000 lbs). About 12% of the weight is blubber. Males are usually 1.5-3 m (5-10 ft) shorter than females. Southern blue whales are about 3.5 m (11 ft) larger than northern, a difference believed to be the result of the more abundant supply of krill in the Antarctic Ocean. The dorsal fin is about 30 cm (11.8 in) in height, flippers, 2.4 m (8 ft), and flukes, 7.6 m (25 ft).
While blue whales may occasionally feed on pelagic crabs and small fishes, their diet is almost exclusively euphausiid shrimps commonly called krill. They are the most selective feeders of the baleen whales, consuming only certain species of krill and not others. (Krill preferences are determined by analyzing fecal samples.) The krill aggregate, move, and disperse from area to area and how these whales know where the swarms of krill are and when is still unknown. Some researchers believe they use sound to track them.
Blue whales usually feed at depths less than 100 m (328 ft) and no more than 152 m (500 ft). They lunge at dense clouds or patches of krill, expanding their throat grooves to take in as much as 64,252 l (17,000 gal) of food and water in a single mouthful. The water pressure causes their throat pleats to expand. They then partially close their mouth, exposing a fringe of comb-like baleen around the opening and use their tongue to force the water out of the baleen sieve, leaving the krill trapped in the fringes of the baleen plates to be swallowed. Blue whales need to take in 1.5 million calories a day to meet their energy requirements. Adults do this by consuming about 40 million krill a day or 3499 kg (7715 lb).
Neither actual mating of blue whales nor birth of a calf have been observed in modern times, and the breeding grounds for some populations are still unknown. Sexual maturity is believed to be reached between five and ten years of age when females are about 24 m (79 ft) long and males, 23 m (75 ft). Recent acoustical studies indicate that males may vocalize to attract females by using a very low frequency call referred to as the "A" call. (The frequency or hertz is so low that the human ear cannot hear it). Females do not seem to make this particular call. It has been noted that when pairs are observed, the whale in the lead is usually a female with a male trailing behind who becomes defensive if another whale approaches.
Most blue whales migrate from their colder water feeding grounds to warmer water latitudes to mate and calve. There are some, however, that may remain year round in colder latitudes depending on ice formation. In the Northern Hemisphere the migration occurs in the boreal winter approximately November–March, and in the Southern Hemisphere's austral winter, June-September.
The gestation period is about 11 months, considered short for an animal the size of the blue whale. At birth the calf is 7-8 m (23-26 ft) long and weighs about 2500 kg (5500 lb) but that soon changes as it nurses on 397 l (105 gal) milk per day that is about 50 percent butterfat. Its growth is rapid as it gains about 90 kg (198 lb) per day or 3.7 kg (8.2 lb) per hour. When several months old it begins to both nurse and start to eat krill. It is weaned at seven to eight months of age at which time it is about 16 m (52 ft) long and weighs 20,900 kg (68,123 lb). Female blue whales are very good mothers. They give birth every two to three years.
The blows of blue whales are spectacular. The tall, straight column, 6-12 m (19.7-39 ft) high and about 6.7-7.6 m (22-25 ft) wide can be seen and heard as far as 6.4 km (4 mi) away. They usually blow in a relaxed fashion 8-15 times at 10-20 second intervals and then dive for 10-20 minutes.
These whales are fast strong swimmers with a cruising speed of 6.4-19.3 km/hr (4-12 mph). They are capable of accelerating to 48 km/hr (30 mph) when necessary.
Blue whales have the lowest and loudest voice of any whale. The frequency is as low as 14 hertz and the intensity or volume, the decibels, up to 200. Unlike humans, whales have no vocal cords in their larynx. They are believed to produce sound by moving air through tubed extensions of the larynx to nasal plugs located near the blowholes. Research using sonograms (device for visualizing sound), hydrophones, and other acoustical devices have shown that that these whales produce two sounds termed A or B calls. "A" calls appear to be made only by males and are described as a series of pulses that sound like someone gurgling mouthwash. "B" sounds are made by both sexes and seem to occur in feeding areas. They are more like a loud, low pitched groan or a rhythmic pounding that repeats and becomes a long moan. There is no variation among individuals within a population, the sounds of all sounding like the same note repeated over and over; however, nine variations have been described for nine populations around the world. Why these whales vocalize in these ways is being studied. A way to indicate fitness to a female calling as loud and low as the male can get? To navigate? To find krill patches? Time will tell.
In the process of changing from a land to water environment, whales have undergone many physiological and morphological changes. Among these adaptations are: streamlined bodies for efficient movement through water; forelimbs modified into flippers to aid in steering; hind limbs internalized remnants reducing drag; tail positioned horizontally to achieve a powerful up and down propulsion; hair replaced with under-skin blubber to provide warmth and buoyancy; structure of nostrils changed to blowholes that can be sealed off under water and position shifted to top of head to give ability to breath air before the rest of the body surfaces and while swimming at the surface without lifting the head; highly developed hearing that relies on an internal system of air sinuses and bones to detect sound instead of external ears; lung capacity that enables them to exchange 80-90% of lung air volume(humans can exchange only 17-20%) ; reproductive organs internalized to prevent drag when swimming; and countercurrent heat exchangers in the tongue that enable the whales to take in gallons of very cold water during feeding and still not become hypothermic.
The lifespan of these whales is estimated to be 40-80 years of age. Current research may prove that it is longer.
In late December 2012, NOAA announced that beginning in 2013, shipping lanes along the California coast would be adjusted to protect feeding and congregating blue, fin, and humpback whales from ship strikes. The lane changes include the approaches to San Francisco Bay, Santa Barbara Channel, and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. In November 2012 the International Maritime Organization which governs shipping worldwide adopted the proposed changes.
Although there are encouraging reports that there may be a gradual increase in some population numbers of blue whales, so few survived the harpoons of whalers that recovery will be a slow process, especially for the southern blue whale population because of the excessive whaling that took place in the Antarctic. Estimated blue whale populations today are 400-1400 in the Southern Hemisphere, 5,000 in the North Pacific with about 2-3,000 of those in the "California" population, and possibly 1,000 in the North Atlantic. These are estimates only and are criticized by some researchers as being too high.
Initially blue whales were not a target species of whalers because their size and speed made them difficult to catch, kill, and retain. That changed beginning in 1864 with inventions of the explosive harpoon-gun and a method to inflate air into the dead whale's body causing it to float; followed by steam and diesel powered catcher boats which shot and retrieved the whales handing them over to huge factory ships for processing. Blue whales now became the most targeted whale because of their profitability. The amount of oil available from one animal was 265-303 l (70-80 gal). About 350,000 blue whales were killed between 1910 and 1996 in the Antarctic and 8,200 in the North Pacific. Forty-eight blue whales were landed at Central California shore whaling stations as late as 1965. Finally in 1966 steps were taken to stop the slaughter before blue whales became extinct.
Whaling was banned in the Antarctic in 1966 and in the North Pacific in 1967. The Blue whales and other marine mammals received protection in the United States when the Marine Mammal Protection Act was adopted in 1972. The Southern Ocean was made a whale sanctuary in 1994. Today blue whales are listed as endangered both federally and by the IUCN Red List. There is no legislated subsistence hunting of these whales as there is for some other species.
Man-made ocean noise pollution from activities such as shipping, drilling operations, low frequency active sonar system testing by the military, studies of ocean climate transmitting sound at 195 decibels, etc.—any or all have the potential to interfere with blue whale communication. Research has indicated that these whales may depend on low frequency and high decibel sounds to communicate, find krill swarms, reproduce, and possible navigate.
Special Notes
California's picky eaters: There are about 90 species of krill found worldwide. The two species preferred by the California blue whale population are Euphausia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera. Both are 15-25 mm (0.6-0.8 in) long. E. pacifica inhabits deeper water toward the margin of the continental shelf and beyond in water 200-400 m (656-1312 ft) deep during the day, migrating vertically to the surface at night to graze on phytoplankton. T. spinifera is a coastal species, inhabiting shallower water over the continental shelf, commonly at depths less than 150 m (492 ft) day and night. Researchers have determined the diet preferences of California's blue whales by analyzing fecal specimens. The daily diet of juvenile blue whales appears to consist of half of each species, whereas adult blue whales seem to prefer the coastal species, T. spinifera.
Solving the mysteries of the blue whale: How do blue whales communicate and why? Where do they breed? How do they find clouds of krill? Which population migrates where? How long do they live? What is the population density in various parts of the world ocean? What is the impact of the ocean's human caused noise pollution on their communication ? Scientists are working to solve the mysteries of the blue whale by using a combination of methods and technology not available to whalers who relied on visual observations to describe the whales and their behaviors. While visual observations are still a very important part of investigative studies, various research efforts today can include hydrophones permanently mounted on the ocean floor; hydrophones trailed behind boats under the water; photography and video of individuals; attachment of cameras and acoustical devices to the whales; skin biopsies for DNA analysis; laboratory analysis of fecal samples to determine food preferences; transmitters to send signals to and from satellites and data collection systems; radio tagging to record pitch, roll, and acceleration during dives; dive recorders to determine how feeding at depths occurs; etc.. A prominent blue whale researcher has said: "The mysteries of the blue whale will be solved, not by my generation or the next, but in the next—30 years from now".
Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS): For nearly 40 years during the era of the Cold War the Navy used an array of hydrophones (underwater microphones) to listen for foreign submarines. SOSUS is permanently mounted on the bottom of the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Caribbean Sea. SOSUS draws graph-like pictures of sound and also makes underwater recordings.
Through the years the Navy observers ignored the natural sounds of the ocean as they listened intently for the man-made noises of submarines. Observers were taught that one particular sound was that made by snapping shrimp. It was not until 1992 when the array was made available to marine mammal scientists that the "snapping shrimp" noise was shown to be that of whale vocalizations. Using SOSUS researchers were able to make more recordings of whale sounds in one year than had ever been deposited previously in the combined collection of all the world's cetacean sound libraries. In 1993 a CD was made available to scientists of the first year's vocalization of humpbacks, minke, finbacks, and blue whales called "Greatest Hits of Whales '93". SOSUS is still being used in the study of whale migrations, population numbers, and behavior.

A Visit Down South8/01/2009 11:58:00 AM Edit This 3 Comments »
We were blessed to get to see everyone on July 4th weekend except my oldest nephew Casey and my oldest brother Kyle both who couldn't get away from work. This was our attempt to get a pictures of all the kids sitting together and smiling. We got close anyway. For some reason we didn't get one with all the adults too. I think it was the heat....did I mention it was hot?
Here are the kids (minus little baby Blake who was already fast asleep) helping me read a bed time story to Lexie. Of course we ended up reading 5 to her so everyone could have a turn.
Did I mention that my sister-in-law Irma and the kids Dylyn and Damian made it up from Mexico? Now you can see why she doesn't visit often....sorry Irma. I couldn't resist!
Here's what Irma looks like when she's not thinking of reindeer at Christmas.
My brother Todd & his wife Lori (Yo-Yo to the kids) made it for the weekend as well.
They had to fit us in between horse races - which they came in first place on 3 races (click here to read about one of his wins) while they where there - yeah whoo GoldMark!! Todd trains race horse for GoldMark Farms and they are entering their third year of racing and now are seeing some amazing horses. It was great to catch up and hear more about their latest "babies."
Lynn & Brooke also made it in for the 4th and of course Mom now lives just a few blocks from Angie, Jim & the kids. It's so wonderful to have all the kids together. Casey you know we missed you but I don't know if you miss being "the monster" now that you are a big college man.
It was a great family weekend packed with lots of fun for the kids and adults alike. The fireworks show we went to was lots of fun and of course Lexie knows that Mommy ordered them special just for her 2 year freedom day celebration.
Here's Angie & Jim the hosts of the gathering. Aren't they cute?
Can you tell it was a hot late night for the kids?
The next day I did a craft project with the kids. I love to do one with them whenever we get together...partly because I enjoy the time with them and partly because the mess drives Angie crazy!! As you can see this project was in honor of my Princess Lexie Lou's fairy crown she got at the parade and has worn everyday since. So here are my beautiful fairy princesses and one prince. Cody decided he's to old and manly to participate.
Fairy Princess Lexie (I hope she stops doing this pose from her dance soon!)
Lovely Fairy Princess Mackenzie
Precious Princess Dylyn
Wild & Crazy Prince Damian
Darling Princess Brooke
And I want to say how proud I am of Princess Brooke. This was taken soon after Aunt Angie cut off 10 inches of her hair so that she could donate it to Locks of Love. What a wonderful gift to give Brooke!
Of course once Cody and Blake saw home much fun we were having they just had to join in the picture taking session. Note they still wouldn't wear the crowns we made for them.
Here are some other fun moments with the kids.
Do you think Blake wants to go out and play?
Dylyn & Brooke reading in the GIRLS ONLY TENT
Don't they look so sweet & innocent?
Now that's more like them!
Yin-Yin and Blakie enjoying a quite moment.
These two where fast buddies the whole time. Damian is a year younger than Mackenzie's mature 8 3/4.
And these two did very well together overall.
Pajama party!
Goofy girls!
And no, that is not alcoholic - it's just a shake!
They are covered in sunscreen and ready to swim.
Can you tell I'm a kid magnet? They know their U-U (that would be me) LOVES them!
Aunt Irma wanted to get in on the contest.
Scores: 8.7 Damian 8.3 Cody 9.8 Irma - for keeping up with them!
Brooke & Lexie navigating the sea of toys in the pool.
Now here comes trouble!
Sadly we had to say good-by to Uncle Todd & Yo-Yo and then Yin-Yin (aka Lynn) and Brooke had to head back to Louisiana too.
Group Hugs all around!
The left-overs waving good-bye!!
After the leave taking and in between swimming,
going to the park
and a slumber party at grandma's for the bigger kids (poor Lexie & Blake)
(the feast Grandma made for them for dinner)
(the morning after)
we decided that Dylyn & Damian, who live in PV Mexico and have never been to the states (except when Dylyn was about 10 months old) should experiences some of the finer kid entertainment greater Houston has to offer. So we took them all to see Ice Age 3 at one of those movie theaters that serve meals and snacks and drinks during the movie. That part was fun and the older kids liked the movie but the dinosurs where toooo scary for Lexie so we had fun dancing around in the lobby.
The next day it was off to ITZ - kind of a Chuck E Cheese for older kids.
I guess Lexie didn't know how much fun she was going to have.
She knows GaGa will always take care of her.
Damian strikes ticket GOLD!!
Blake would just throw himself down the blow-up slides. Wild boy!
Lexie got to drive the train choo choo!
Then she and Mackenzie where driving a Big Rig (makes a mamma proud!)
Next she and Cody rode the tail of the Roller Coaster - she's so brave.

Who's the mystery tenant moving into San Jose's biggest-ever office park? That's the million-dollar question everyone in Silicon Valley is scrambling to answer.
Speculation started flying as soon as San Jose city officials approved the 2-million square-foot office project on North First Street and Brokaw Road in North San Jose on Wednesday.
The list of potential occupants includes everybody from Seattle-based Microsoft and Amazon, to locals Apple, Google and Facebook.
So far, the only person at City Hall who reportedly knows the name of the company is San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, and he's not talking.
"The company name is not something that I can divulge." Reed told NBC Bay Area. "They've asked me to keep it confidential and I will, but it's obviously a pretty big deal for 2-million square-feet, it's an awfully large space."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Reed added that it was a Fortune 500 company and people will recognize the name when they finally hear it.

{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";
mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";}
"It's a Silicon Valley tech company," he said. "There's no doubt that there's plenty of companies growing and we want to keep them here."
The project's developers, Palo-Alto-based Peery-Arrillaga who are also behind Stanford's new stadium and the HP and Apple campuses, are not talking either. The firm did not immediately return requests for comment.
Reed underlined the importance of developing the North San Jose area in a September 2013 traffic impact fee incentive recommendation for large-scale offices and R&D campuses, including Peery-Arrillaga's proposed project.
"With its superior urban design features and proposed high densities [the proposed project] is an excellent example of how we can achieve the objectives of the North San Jose Development policy," the mayor said.
He added that he was committed to supporting developments such as the Peery-Arrillaga project, which, "when constructed and occupied" will bring thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in revenue to the city.
Peery-Arrillaga was able to secure permits for the project in just six months and got the city to forgo $4 million in transportation impact fees.
The scale of the proposed project itself -- it's twice the size of Facebook's Menlo Park campus and more than two-third the size of Apple's planned "spaceship" campus in Cupertino -- has sparked quite a bit of interest. The site, located near Highway 101, where the Bay 101 Casino is located, is expected to house 8,000 to 10,000 employees in 10 seven-story buildings. There are also plans for an activity center with soccer fields and courts for basketball, raquetball and squash.
Reed says that he doesn't expect the tech pushback San Francisco and Mountain View are currently experiencing, in part because not a whole lot of people live in that area of San Jose.
"It's going to be a very iconic development for the city and for Silicon Valley," said Steve Piasecki, the city's interim planning official. "...You are going to know where the heart of Silicon Valley is in the not too distant future."
Although Piasecki said that there was enough infrastructure in place to handle the traffic impact caused by the proposed project, the city has already heared from concerned residents.
The proposed project is expected to break ground sometime in 2014.

Pram | 01/01/70
Some of the biggest names in leftfield and alternative music, including Four Tet, Maps and krautrock legends Damo Suzuki (Can) and Michael Rother (Neu!, Harmonia), have donated new and exclusive material to a new album called Music For A Good Home, to raise money for national housing and homelessness charity Shelter.
The album, which also features Clinic, Pram, Dieter Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia) and Blood Red Shoes, was produced to mark the ninth anniversary of Shelter fundraising festival AUDIOSCOPE, and features bands who have performed at the event since it began in 2001.
Four Tet's track, titled 'Audioscope', was written especially for the release, while Mercury Prize nominees Maps chose to record a Bob Dylan track that songwriter James Chapman felt was particularly appropriate to support Shelter. Damo Suzuki's track is taken from his recent performance at Oxford's Truck Festival, which featured members of Ride and Ash as his backing band.
1. Michael Rother - Maus-Mann-Motiv (previously unreleased)
2. Piano Magic - Never It Will Be The Same Again (from a now-deleted vinyl release)
3. Four Tet - Audioscope (previously unreleased)
4. The Oscillation - The 3rd Harmonic (previously unreleased)
5. Damo Suzuki - Truck On Track (previously unreleased)
6. Dieter Moebius - Popst (previously unreleased)
7. Maps - Not Dark Yet (previously unreleased)
8. Pram - Tumblin (previously unreleased)
9. Shooting At Unarmed Men - Death By Decaf
10. Vibracathedral Orchestra - Gat Rot (previously unreleased)
11. Clinic - Earl Mallard (from a now-deleted vinyl release)
12. Blood Red Shoes - Carry Knots (exclusive mix)
13. Einstellung - Und Die Ruhe Ist Donner (previously unreleased)
The album went on sale for the first time on 17 October for £10 at AUDIOSCOPE09 at the Jericho in Oxford. Just 300 copies of the CD version of the album will be produced, and after the show the album will be on sale digitally via iTunes and physically from www.audioscope.co.uk and selected online retailers. All profits from the release go to help Shelter's vital work.
AUDIOSCOPE is an organisation committed to raising money through music for the national homelessness charity Shelter. The annual AUDIOSCOPE festival takes place in Oxford every autumn, and is supported by a range of special events throughout the year.
Since 2001, AUDIOSCOPE has raised over £17,000 for Shelter, presenting the best in local, national and international independent music in the process.
Acts who have supported AUDIOSCOPE in the past, as well as the entire cast of Music For A Good Home, include Explosions in the Sky, Clark, Don Caballero, Oxes, The Telescopes, Scout Niblett, Luke Vibert, Electrelane, Comet Gain, Max Tundra and a host of other bands from across the UK and beyond.

Astros lineup falters against dominant Skaggs
Keuchel not at his best, allows four earned runs over five innings
HOUSTON -- The Astros honored all-time greats Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt before Saturday night's game at Minute Maid Park. They could have used Berkman's bat in the 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels
The Astros managed only four hits and one unearned run off Angels left-hander Tyler Skaggs over eight innings. Three of Houston's hits were infield singles.
"It was just one of those nights," said L.J. Hoes, who delivered the only ball hit safely to the outfield by the Astros to lead off the fifth inning. He never made it past second base.
"It's early in the season. You can't get too high or get too low. We know what we're capable of. Once everything starts clicking, we'll be on a roll and be able to win some games."
Playing without leadoff man Dexter Fowler (stomach virus) and catcher Jason Castro (injured foot) for the second day in a row, the Astros scored only one run for the second game in a row.
Manager Bo Porter said that Fowler was released from Methodist Hospital Saturday night and expected him to be at the ballpark Sunday.
"They're two of our better hitters," Porter said. "At the same time, the guys who are in there, you expect them to get it done."
Nobody did the job offensively for Houston against the Angels left-hander.
"I think everything kind of clicked tonight," Skaggs said. "I couldn't ask for a better first outing."
Houston starter Dallas Keuchel, also a left-hander, pitched well through four innings.
"I felt me and Tyler were duking it out," Keuchel said of the pitching matchup. "I had more traffic on the bases than he did."
After the first four innings, things went downhill for Keuchel.
Collin Cowgill led off the Angels' fifth with a double. Keuchel then struck out Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. But he gave up an RBI single to David Freese and a two run-homer to Josh Hamilton. That put the Angels on top, 4-1.
"It's just frustrating when I punch out two of the game's better hitters, then elevated a breaking ball," Keuchel said. "Give credit to Josh. I felt good, lefty on lefty. Hamilton got me. It was a pitch I had great success against him last year. He's a better player this year.
"This is the big leagues and that's what happens. If you're not on your game every pitch, that can happen. That kind of took the wind out of our sails in the fifth."
The Astros did not get a hit in the last four innings.
"Offensively, we definitely need to get something going and score more runs," Porter said.
Skaggs made the Astros' task extremely difficult.
"He really had his breaking ball going and we helped him a little bit by expanding the zone," Porter said. "He did attack the strike zone with his fastball and got us to chase [his curveball]."
Including Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees, Houston has scored four runs over the last three games. The only game the Astros have scored more three runs was a 6-2 win over New York in the opener.
Keuchel left after five innings, giving up eight hits, the four earned runs, striking out five and walking two.
"This is the best I've felt so far," he said. "My body was strong and well. I think the two days' rest [after pitching an exhibition game last Sunday] did me well. Working out of traffic the first few innings took a lot out of me. I've been doing a little better job longevity wise."
Porter was pleased overall with Keuchel.
"It was basically two pitches he left up," Porter said. "I felt like he did a good job."
Jose Altuve singled in the first inning, stole second and scored on a line drive by Jesus Guzman that Angels third baseman John McDonald couldn't handle for Houston's only run. It was scored an error.

Toronto closer Casey Janssen opened in impressive fashion. Janssen struck out two during a perfect seventh inning in his spring debut as the Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 1-0 Friday.
Toronto closer Casey Janssen opened in impressive fashion.
Janssen struck out two during a perfect seventh inning in his spring debut as the Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 1-0 Friday.
"First time out there, I guess it couldn't have gone any better," Janssen said.
Janssen, who finished with 22 saves last season, had surgery in November to address lingering shoulder soreness. After striking out Lyle Overbay and Mauro Gomez, the right-hander got a grounder from Mike Carp.
"His ball was exploding," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "I thought he was popping the ball pretty good, so that's a great sign."
J.A. Happ continued his strong exhibition season, allowing two hits in six shutout innings for Toronto. The left-hander could begin the season at Triple-A, in a long relief role or at some point move into a starting spot if the Blue Jays decide to drop struggling Ricky Romero from the rotation.
Happ admitted that his undetermined status has weighed on him.
"The great thing is, my teammates are great," Happ said. "That certainly helped."
Happ has given up four runs over 19 innings in six games.
Gibbons again reiterated that Romero is in the rotation.
Romero is 0-1 with a 7.27 ERA in four big league exhibition games. The left-hander had control issues in a minor league game Thursday after working on mechanics with pitching coach Pete Walker.
"He's making some changes, and you don't expect them to happen right away," Gibbons said. "Hopefully his next go around it's going to be better."
Romero is scheduled to pitch Tuesday against Pittsburgh.
Sergio Santos, expected to fill in if Janssen is not ready for opening day, struck out three, walked one and had two wild pitches during a scoreless eighth.
Boston reliever Alfredo Aceves got the start and scattered two hits over five shutout innings.
The Red Sox lineup consisted of mostly backup candidates and prospects. Overbay, the former Toronto first baseman, went 0 for 2.
"We're going to take every day available to us to make a decision on how our bench is going to round out," Boston manager John Farrell said.
Overbay can opt out of his contract Tuesday.
Boston designated hitter David Ortiz (heel) and shortstop Stephen Drew (concussion) remain out, but have been hitting in a cage at the Red Sox complex in Fort Myers. Both could be on the disabled list when the Red Sox open the regular season April 1 at the New York Yankees.
The Yankees will be without first baseman Mark Teixeira (wrist), third baseman Alex Rodriguez (hip) and outfielder Curtis Granderson (forearm). Shortstop Derek Jeter might also miss the opener due to ankle soreness.
"A lot of temporary situations because of injuries," Farrell said. "I'm sure everybody who pays attention to every opening series, you want to see the marquee players perform. In both cases, we're dealing with some banged-up rosters."
Toronto opening day starter R.A. Dickey threw 102 pitches over eight innings in a minor game on Friday.
"It was a great day for me," Dickey said. "Great in the sense that I threw eight innings and felt fantastic. I got better as the game went on, and felt strong in the later innings."
Boston left-hander Jon Lester didn't make the trip and also pitched against minor leaguers.
Toronto infielder Edwin Encarnacion could miss a couple games because of a sore index finger that resulted from an at-bat at the World Baseball Classic.
"It swelled up a little bit," Gibbons said. "The X-ray (Thursday) was fine. No concerns."
NOTES: Toronto claimed RHP Todd Remond off waivers from Baltimore and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo. The 27-year-old Remond made his major league debut last season with Cincinnati. To make room on the 40-man roster the Blue Jays put RHP Drew Hutchison on the 60-day disabled list. ... Blue Jays 3B Brett Lawrie (strained rib) is increasing his on-field work, but hasn't resumed batting practice. There is a chance he won't be ready for opening day. "If he had to start the season a few days late, so be it," Gibbons said. "We don't want this thing to creep up again." ... Red Sox prospect Jackie Bradley Jr. had one of the two Boston hits. The outfielder is hitting .429 overall. ... Toronto sent RHPs Claudio Vargas and Ramon Ortiz, and INFs Eugenio Velez, Ryan Schimpf, Jim Negrych, Mike McCoy and Luis Jimenez to its minor league camp.

Mother of Mexican teen slain in cross-border shooting sues
Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez, 16, was in Nogales, Sonora, near the tall, steel fence that divides the United States and Mexico when a Border Patrol agent shot him from Nogales, Arizona in 2012
By Astrid Galvan
Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — The mother of a Mexican teen who was shot to death by a U.S. Border Patrol agent nearly two years ago sued the agency on Tuesday, saying her son was walking home after playing basketball with his girlfriend and friends when he was hit in the back by 10 bullets.
Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez, 16, was in Nogales, Sonora, near the tall, steel fence that divides the United States and Mexico when a Border Patrol agent shot him from Nogales, Arizona, on Oct. 10, 2012. An autopsy shows the teen was shot at least eight times.
The Border Patrol has said Elena Rodriguez was among a group of people throwing rocks at agents across the border, endangering their lives.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the lawsuit in federal court on behalf of Araceli Rodriguez, says the shooting was another example of U.S. border agents using excessive force without consequences. Araceli Rodriguez says her son never had a rock or any other weapon.
The Border Patrol does not comment on pending litigation, spokesman Andy Adame said.
Agency officials in the past have defended agents' use of force.
Chief Michael Fisher said at a border expo in March that there's been a mischaracterization that agents "indiscriminately" open fire.
"If you are like me, there's nothing more terrifying than fighting for your life when you're alone with no communication, and the thought for a split second that you may never get home at the end of that shift to see your wife and son again," Fisher said. "The only thing that is equal to the ripple of fear is thinking of having to use deadly force against another human being."
Immigrant rights groups have long claimed that agents are quick to shoot.
In the lawsuit, the ACLU alleges that the Border Patrol has a "systematic" problem with use of force. Border Patrol agents generally are allowed to use lethal force against rock throwers because rocks can be potentially deadly.
Rock throwers have attacked agents more than 1,700 times since 2010.
"Jose Antonio's killing by U.S. Border Patrol agents is unfortunately not a unique event, but part of a larger problem of abuse by border patrol agents in Nogales and elsewhere," the lawsuit states.
Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, anticipates that the U.S. government will claim a Mexican citizen on Mexican soil does not have American constitutional rights.
A federal appeals court ruled last month that the U.S. Constitution protected another Mexican teenager killed by a border agent even though the teen was in Mexico when he was shot in June 2010. Sergio Adrian Hernandez Guereca was 15 when an agent who said he was attacked by rock throwers shot the teen near a bridge between El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. The Border Patrol is appealing the decision.
Gelernt says the ACLU will continue to seek the release of the names of the agents involved in Elena Rodriguez's killing. The FBI, which is conducting an investigation, has not released any information regarding the agents. The Border Patrol also has kept quiet about whether any agents have been disciplined in the case.
At a news conference Tuesday, the teen's grandmother pleaded for justice.
"It was a cowardly murder," Taide Elena Rodriguez said. "Jose Antonio was not an animal."

Michigan Pharmacist Delivering Medicine By Snowmobile to Snowed-In Clients
By R.J. Johnson - @rickerthewriter
January 31, 2019
As the polar vortex continues to keep the midwest in much of a deep freeze this week, one Michigan pharmacy is making sure their customers get the medicine they need - no matter what the weather is like.
Andrea Cusack, a pharmacist at Lake Odessa Pharmacy typically delivers prescriptions for her customers in the small community located between Grand Rapids and Lansing. But when the weather doesn't cooperate (like it hasn't been this week), Cusack knew they would have to get creative if their customers were going to get their meds.
"Blood pressure, diabetes meds, you do not want to stop those," Cusack told WILX."You want to take those continuously."
With so much snow covering the road, Cusack says she enlisted the help of her 15-year-old son to fire the snowmobile so they could make some special deliveries.
Cusack's husband shared a photo of the two on Facebook while they were leaving to make their deliveries.
"Interesting night! I made it home to see a local pharmacist leaving on her next delivery. Appears we have a new addition to Lake Odessa Pharmacy's delivery service!" Cusack wrote on Monday.
"I can't believe it. I truly care about people. I want to help them and to see the response around the community is overwhelming," Cusack said, adding that they were there to serve the community.
The pharmacist has been checking in with clients, making sure they're getting the medicine they need. If not, the Lake Odessa pharmacy team fires up the snowmobile for a delivery - something they had to do again on Wednesday for a couple who had been snowed in.
The polar vortex has been blamed for at least nine deaths in several states across the midwest as the arctic blast keeps the midwest in a deep freeze. Some areas experienced temperatures nearly 50 degrees below zero on Wednesday. Experts warn that the dry frigid air can cause frostbite to occur within minutes on exposed skin.
Governors in Wisconsin, Michigan declared states of emergency and ordered the closure of all state government offices. Some agencies in Illinois have also been closed as well.
Fortunately, forecasters say the deep freeze should be easing by this weekend as a surge of milder, warmer air replaces the arctic blast. Temperatures are set to swing dramatically by 40 to 70 degrees higher than the coldest readings this week.
Cusack said they will keep using the snowmobile for as long as the bad weather continues.

Todd Williams, who briefly played as a reserve right tackle for the Tennessee Titans in 2004 and 2005 after playing college ball at Florida State, was found dead in Bradenton, Fla. on Monday.
Williams was just 35 years old, and it is not yet clear what caused his death. According to the Bradenton Herald, though, Williams had recently been dealing with some strange health issues:
Williams could not taste anything and had stomach pain for about a month, his mother, Ozepher Fluker, said, so she advised him to go to the hospital to get checked out Friday.
Williams was essentially Michael Oher of The Blind Side fame before Michael Oher. After overcoming a childhood during which he was homeless, Williams played high school football at Southeast High under the close tutelage of his coaches, particularly his offensive line coach, Dave Marino.
From the Herald:
"I had a close relationship with him," Marino said. "Not only did I coach him, but a lot of us basically adopted him. I used to bring him to my house. He'd cut my lawn. I'd feed him. I'd be able to pay him for cutting the lawn. All of us, any way to help him out. Take him home after practice. Make sure he had some groceries and some basic necessities in the apartment he was living in. He was like a little brother to me."
Williams went on to win NCAA's Inspirational Athlete of the Year award while at FSU in 2002.

Footballer Emiliano Sala was exposed to harmful levels of carbon monoxide before he was killed in a plane crash and it is likely his pilot was also affected, accident investigators said.
Tests on the striker's body found enough evidence of the harmful gas to cause a heart attack, seizure or unconsciousness, an interim report by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) stated.
The cockpit of the Piper Malibu aircraft involved in the crash was not separated from the cabin and it is "likely" that pilot David Ibbotson was also "affected to some extent" by exposure to carbon monoxide, the document added.
The AAIB said the gas can "reduce or inhibit a pilot's ability to fly an aircraft".
Argentinian footballer Sala signed for Cardiff City from French club Nantes for £15 million on January 18.
Mr Ibbotson, 59, of Crowle, Lincolnshire, flew Sala from Cardiff to Nantes the following day. The return flight – which crashed in the Channel – was on January 21.
Sala's body was recovered on February 6 but Mr Ibbotson has not been located.
The aircraft remains underwater off the coast of Guernsey after an attempt to recover it was hampered by bad weather.
Mr Ibbotson's widow Nora believes that trying to safely bring the aircraft up from the seabed could be a way to find some answers about what happened.
She also told Sky News that carbon monoxide potentially having any part in what happened had "never even occurred to me, it was all about the weather and things like that."
She described the development as "a massive shock" telling Sky News: "It makes a big difference because they've been poisoned, they have no idea it's a lethal gas.
"You can't smell it. You can't see it. It's lethal, they wouldn't have known.
"So it's nothing to do with the flying or anything like that, it's down to the aircraft."
Mrs Ibbotson said she must now wait for answers, adding: "It's not going to change my situation, I've lost a husband, a father, a grandfather. Nothing can repay that, and change it."
Piston engine aircraft such as the Piper Malibu involved in the crash produce high levels of carbon monoxide, the interim report said.
The gas is normally conveyed away from the aircraft through the exhaust system but poor sealing or leaks into the heating and ventilation system can enable it to enter the cabin.
The AAIB said it was working with the aircraft and engine manufacturers and the National Transportation Safety Board in the US "to identify possible pathways through which CO (carbon monoxide) might enter the cabin of this type of aircraft.
"Work is also continuing to investigate pertinent operational, technical, organisational and human factors which might have contributed to the accident."
A spokesman for Cardiff City said the club was "concerned" at the AAIB's latest report as it "once again highlights that the aircraft used for Emiliano Sala was not appropriate".
He added that "those who were instrumental in arranging its usage" should be held to account.
Several devices are available to alert pilots over the presence of carbon monoxide.
The AAIB said they are not mandatory but can "alert pilots or passengers to a potentially deadly threat".
Sala's family called for the wreckage to be salvaged to enable a "detailed technical examination of the plane" to be carried out.
But an AAIB spokesman said it has decided not to carry out a repeat attempt due to the high costs involved, the information already collected and the risk that the wreckage would "not yield definitive evidence" due to the plane's violent impact with the sea.
He added: "We will identify the correct safety issues through other means."
Investigators have previously said the validity of Mr Ibbotson's licence will form a key part of their inquiry.
The type of licence he held meant he could only fly passengers in the European Union on a cost-sharing basis, rather than for commercial flights.
A full accident report is expected to be published next year.

"We are in the midst of historic cultural and demographic changes, and Barack Obama is both the symbol and in some ways the architect of this new America," Time said in announcing its choice. "In 2012, he found and forged a new majority, turned weakness into opportunity and sought, amid great adversity, to create a more perfect union."
Democrat Obama won re-election to a second term in the Oval Office in November, beating Republican challenger Mitt Romney 51 percent to 47 percent in the popular vote and 302 votes to 207 votes in the Electoral College.
In doing so, he overcame political challenges -- "Obama is the first Democratic president since FDR to win more than 50 percent of the vote in consecutive elections and the first president since 1940 to win re-election with an unemployment rate north of 7.5 percent," Time points out -- but also cultural ones, capitalizing on his popularity with "young people, minorities, Hispanics, and college-educated women" to show that "demographic change is here to stay," Time said.
The magazine's four runners-up for Person of the Year were:
-- Malala Yousafzai, the 15-year-old girl who was shot in the head by a Taliban assassin for her outspoken support of education for girls in Pakistan.
-- Tim Cook, Steve Job's handpicked successor as CEO of Apple.
-- Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected president who then won international praise for helping broker a cease-fire in the November fighting between Hamas and Israel in Gaza.
-- Fabiola Gianotti, who led a team of scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in capturing the Higgs boson particle, the so-called God particle which gives all other particles their mass.

The Sesame Street Library is a common point of interest on Sesame Street, staffed by a number of Librarians. It was originally located next to Hooper's Store, in the spot that has since housed the Fix-It Shop and Mail It Shop. Known as the Lending Library, there were books both indoors and outdoors, and there was also a large children's section. All the residents of Sesame Street would come to borrow books. Maria worked there as a part-time job when she was still in school, while Grover would often come and help out.
Later, when the Fix It Shop came along, the library shifted to other locations in New York City, such as the one in which Linda worked, and libraries that were some distance from the street and required a certain amount of traveling, as seen in several books. Linda's assistants have included by Micki, Lisa, Tiko and Garbo Gorilla.
In Season 38, the library is located eight paces from the front of the Fix It Shop (Episode 4135) and was shown to be directly next to the Subway entrance in One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure. Starting in season 39, that space was occupied by another shop.
In 2004, the Sesame Street Library was immortalized in board game form as the replacement for States Avenue in a Sesame Street edition of Monopoly.

May I just say, THANK YOU.
Thank you all, each one of you who have left the most wonderful encouraging comments on my most recent post. You all have probably no idea how much your words have meant to me--I may explain just the impact that they have had in another post, but now is not the moment for that. Nevertheless, thank you ALL so much.
My friend Paul just wrote some great encouragement on his blog. Though not intended just for me, this really hit me close to home. (If you haven't read my 'NEWS' post, you should do that first so that you will understand what is going on.)
These two things (Paul's words and this video) are SOOOOO worth your time--they will take you probably a total of 4 minutes to read and view. I hope you will take just a moment to click on his link and read his brief but highly encouraging post. Thanks, Paul.
He also had the most wonderful video that I am posting as well.
Logan is a 13 year-old boy who lives on a ranch in a very small town in Nebraska. Logan listens to Christian Radio station 89.3FM KSBJ which broadcasts from Houston, TX. Logan called the radio station distraught because he had to take down a calf . His words have wisdom beyond his years.
These two things were a big encouragement to me at the moment--hope they are to you, as well, even if you aren't in the midst of a difficult 'providence'.

Image: The STS-93 crew and the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory
On July 23, 1999, a little more than seven hours after Space Shuttle Columbia and its five astronauts were launched from the Kennedy Space Center, NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory was successfully deployed by the STS-93 crew. Chandra was spring-ejected from a cradle in the shuttle's cargo bay at 6:47 a.m. Central time, as Columbia flew over the Indonesian island chain. Commander Eileen Collins, the first female Shuttle Commander, maneuvered Columbia to a safe distance away from the telescope as an internal timer counted down to the first of a two-phase ignition of the solid-fuel Inertial Upper Stage (IUS). The IUS lit up as scheduled at 7:47 a.m., and a few minutes later, shut down as planned, sending Chandra on a highly elliptical orbit which was refined over the next few weeks by a series of firings of telescope thrusters, designed to place Chandra in an orbit about 6900 x 87,000 statute miles above the Earth.
Since its deployment, Chandra has helped revolutionize our understanding of the universe through its unrivaled X-ray vision. Chandra, one of NASA's current "Great Observatories," along with the Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope, is specially designed to detect X-ray emission from hot and energetic regions of the universe.
In this photograph, the five STS-93 astronauts pose for the traditional inflight crew portrait on Columbia's middeck. In front are astronauts Eileen M. Collins, mission commander, and Michel Tognini, mission specialist representing France's Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES). Behind them are (from the left) astronauts Steven A. Hawley, mission specialist; Jeffrey S. Ashby, pilot; and Catherine G. (Cady) Coleman, mission specialist. In the background is a large poster depicting the Chandra X-Ray Observatory.

Larson takes top honours in 25-lapper at Western Springs
Press Release – Western Springs Speedway
Not even the Auckland weather could stop young American sensation Kyle Larson in the opening round of the International Midget series tonight as he stormed to victory in the 25-lap feature race at Western Springs Speedway.
After the traditional boxing night slot for the race was rained out, it was left to the rain day on December 27 for the international drivers to take it to the Kiwis but in the end it was the locals that filled three spots in the top five.
Larson, from Elk Grove, California, and Jerry Coons Jr from Tuscon, Arizona, topped the qualifying points after the five heat races, but it was current New Zealand champion Michael Pickens who worked his up a few places in the pole shuffle. The final showdown in the Pole Shuffle, which sees the top eight cars go on track two at a time for two laps to set the top eight grid positions for the feature race, team-mates Pickens and Larson went head to head. It appeared the Kiwi had the advantage until the final turn when Larson made a spectacular pass around the outside to take the win and pole position.
Notable omissions as the feature race field went four wide to salute the strong Western Springs Speedway crowd were American drivers Steve Buckwalter and Bryan Clauson, but up front was a truly world class line-up. Larson hit the lead into turn one and was never challenged, while local Brad Mosen got past American Jerry Coons Jr. to take third behind Pickens.
There was drama late in the race when Australia's Nathan Smee was forced to the infield from fifth place with his misfiring motor unable to comply with Western Springs Speedway's strictly enforced 95 decibel noise limit, which bunched the field up under a yellow flag. Prior to that, Mosen had capitalised on a mistake from Pickens to move up to second, but on the restart Pickens pulled a huge move to regain second on the run to the flag.
But no-one could stop Larson, who repeated his win in the corresponding event twelve-months earlier, but Pickens and Mosen upheld Kiwi honour with second and third respectively. Jerry Coons Jr. was fourth and the top five was rounded out by Brock Maskovich.
Sprintcar action saw Jamie McDonald hold off Ryan O'Connor for the win with a last minute dash securing third for Jeremy Halpin, while in the TQ's, Ryan Baker headed home Jared Taylor and Shane Phillips.
The International Midget continues with the World 30-lap Derby following on December 29. The 40-lap 'King of the Springs' runs on January 1 with the series concluding with the ultimate test of man and machine, the Crown Plaza Auckland World 50 Lapper, held on January 3. Each night will also see action from Sprintcars and TQ Midgets.
Race day sees gates open at 5pm with the first race getting underway at 6.30. Adults are $30 with kids under the age of 16 free with a paying adult. For more information, check out www.springsspeedway.com.

Plaintiff restaurant owner sued Yelp under California unfair competition law, claiming that certain statements Yelp made about the filters it uses to ascertain the unreliability or bias of user reviews were misleading and untrue. For example, plaintiff alleged that Yelp advertised that its filtering process "takes the reviews that are the most trustworthy and from the most established sources and displays them on the business page." But, according to plaintiff, the filter did not give consumers the most trusted reviews, excluded legitimate reviews, and included reviews that were demonstrably false and biased.
Yelp filed an Anti-SLAPP motion to strike plaintiff's complaint under California Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, arguing that the complaint sought to interfere with Yelp's free speech rights, and targeted speech that appeared in a public forum and was a matter of public interest. The trial court granted the motion, and plaintiff sought review with the Court of Appeal of California. On appeal, the court reversed.
It held that a motion to strike under the mechanism of California's Anti-SLAPP statute was unavailable under section 425.17 (c), which prohibits Anti-SLAPP motions against "any cause of action brought against a person primarily engaged in the business of selling or leasing goods or services," where certain other conditions are met, including the statement being made for purposes of promoting the speaker's goods or services.
The appellate court disagreed with the lower court which found that Yelp's statements about its filters were mere "puffery". Instead, the court held that these actions disqualified the Anti-SLAPP motion under the very language of the statute pertaining to commercial speech.

Yeah, I enjoy doing these things. They're fun, even if I'm doing them with an NCAA Tournament with the second-chalkiest Elite Eight since it expanded to 64 teams. (Only 2007, with three-seed Oregon crashing a top-two-lines party, beats 2009 in that respect, though the 2007 Final Four was much chalkier.)
As always, I rank these matchups in order of their appeal to me. Selected capsule previews and rankings follow.

Everton Publishers' Genealogy Blog reports that Project Gutenberg and World eBook Library are sponsoring the World eBook Fair.
Project Gutenberg, with the cooperation of many other eBook publishers, is currently sponsoring a month-long eBook Fair. They have made available about 1/3 million books – free of charge – until August 4, 2006.
The World eBook Fair has over 330,000 digital ebooks available for free downloading on "nearly every classic author on the varieties of subjects previously only available through the largest library collections in the world." Once downloaded, you can use these books, free of charge, indefinitely. Normally, the World eBook Library charges USD $8.95 per year for online access with unlimited personal downloading.
I read a lot of books, and a few years ago I fell in love with my Palm handheld computer, turning it into the perfect reading tool. I use inDev Software's Tiny Book Reader (TiBR Pro). It allows for reading text, zTXT, or PalmDocs (pdb) files from your handheld's memory or your storage card. You can adjust the font size and style for easier reading from small to extra-large. You can also set the smooth scrolling rate easily to move the text down the page at your own pace. No more scrapping sounds of turning pages in the middle of the night. No night light on in the night as the Palm has its own backlight, and I rarely lose my place as it stops scrolling as soon as I touch the screen. There is also a free conversion program which will create PalmDoc or zTXT books from some other book versions called TiBR Converter.
I thought I'd check out the free books available through the World eBook Fair. After an attempt with their general search left me in frustration, I found their eBook Collections. You can still search, but the search includes all forums, articles, and other information not directly related to specific books. If you know the specific subject, title or author, then that works, especially if you use the words or phrase wrapped with quote marks. Unfortunately, the site doesn't believe in web standards for accessibility. Every search or click on a search result pops up a new page. Hitting the eBook Collections list was more successful.
To get to the Collections, scroll part way down the page past the letter to the beginning of the alphabetized collection list.
I found some interesting collections. The Baen Free Library Collection featured hard core science fiction books recommended by Jim Baen, a long time expert in science fiction publishing. Free books included authors like Larry Niven, Andre Norton, Mercedes Lackey, David Weber, and David Drake, including a few published within the past 10 years.
Other interesting free book collections ranged from technical to political and governmental to children's books. I found some books to download from the Classic Literature Collection, the Cordella Collegiate Bookshelf of Classic Literature, University of Adelaide Library of Web Books of historical novels and text, Etana – CWRU University Library Digital Collection of Earliest Written Texts of the Ancient Near East including religious and historical texts, and Renascence Editions of works printed in English between 1477 and 1799. Take a look to see if there is anything that catches your eye.
The books mostly come in PDF format. In order to use them with the Tibr program, I open them in a PDF reader, select all the text for the entire document, and paste it into a text editor. I save it as a text file and run it through the TiBR converter. Then I upload the converted file to my handheld computer and I read with joy.
A few of the more technical or historical books have not been OCRed, the technique of digitally converting the text image into actual text. They have been scanned and you read the scanned images from within PDF files. Many of these 300-800 page books are saved in sections such as pages 20-40, 41-60, and so on. In order to download the entire book, you have to download each file individually. I tried using a website copier program and it was stopped at the door. When possible, I recommend using the File Save As or Save Target As options from the Right Click menu in your web browser instead of opening each PDF document. These scanned-image-only documents are frustrating to work with, but they do capture the images, fonts, and layout of the original books.
There are some really good books, and many of the older books listed are also available via the Gutenberg Press Project. I've included a list of other online resources for downloading free books below.
Reportedly, this ends August 4, 2006, so go get your free books and have a good read or three.
