The View from the Playground: Toyota's Inspiring Volunteers
Shane's Inspiration's inclusive playgrounds and programs are possible because of the passion and commitment of our volunteers…individuals like Sheila Swanson who gives her time, talent, and incredible financial contributions.
Sheila has also been instrumental in building a powerful corporate partnership with Toyota Motor Sales. Read more about the impact one person and one corporation can have:

Bax began logging her volunteer hours at the"Get in Gear Volunteer!" website soon after it went live. When she reached the 100-hour mark, TMS rewarded the foundation with a $500 grant. Then Bax applied for a "Volunteer of the Year" award and claimed a $1,000 grant for the non-profit. As such, Save the Animals Foundation benefitted from Bax's commitment to the cause as well as the generosity of her employer.
"The grants make a huge difference," says Bax, a 14-year NAPO veteran. "The money goes directly to food, medical expenses, maintaining the building—a little bit of everything. Our operating expenses are high, even with a 100 percent volunteer staff."
Swanson's volunteer commitment dates back to 2003. At the time, she served on TMS' Charitable Contributions Committee that was charged with evaluating applications for grants submitted by community organizations. The committee asked Swanson to learn more about Shane's Inspiration, an organization that strives to create playgrounds that are accessible to children of all social, physical and emotional abilities.
"I remember meeting one of the co-founders at Griffith Park in the rain," says Swanson. The two-acre Los Angeles facility was the first of what is now more than 40 playgrounds the organization has developed. "At the time, they were looking for grants to help transport kids to and from the playgrounds. They don't just build the parks and walk away. They collaborate with local officials and schools to make sure they are used and maintained."
In addition to grants earned by logging her hours, Swanson also secured a $1,000 grant for Shane's Inspiration through the Volunteer of the Year awards.
"That money goes a long way," she says. "It costs about $300 to transport kids to a playground for a play date. And it costs another $100 for the crafts and snacks. It only took me about 10 minutes to fill out and submit the application. But the kids who will get to take advantage of the playground because of that funding will come away with memories that could last a lifetime. It really does make a difference."

We know obesity affects your health and your self-esteem. There's another big concern for women. Obesity can be a factor if a woman is having trouble getting pregnant. Renay Pressley has little Ryan now that's after losing 100 pounds after having gastric bypass surgery. Before that, she tried for eight years to get pregnant.
She wasn't cycling normally and a lot of obese women don't ovulate on a regular basis," says Seth Katz M.D. in reproductive medicine.
"It would be nine months to a year without my cycle," says Renay Pressley a patient.
Of course, no eggs means no chance of getting pregnant, but scientists are still piecing together how extra weight affects a woman's cycle and her chance of getting pregnant. What they do know is excess body fat can influence reproductive hormones, and Dr. Katz says as little as 10 or 15 percent weight loss can make a huge difference in terms of how a woman responds to the medications used in fertility treatment.

The Sum Of JNJ's Parts: Medical Devices
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is a massive and diversified healthcare focused company. The company has a long history of doing multiple things well. While it has three main divisions, its medical device group is one of its two main growth engines.
Success is in the DNA
Johnson & Johnson is well over 100 years old. It has survived good times and bad, for the past 70 years part of its success has come from an adherence to a company "credo."
Created by Robert Wood Johnson, a member of the company's founding family, the document underpins the company's strategic framework. The credo speaks to the many obligations the company wishes to live up to and the strategic framework provides a guide for meeting those self imposed obligations.
Broad diversification is one of the key components of the company's approach. To this end, Johnson & Johnson is actually a holding company, with over 250 operating companies underneath it. Management believes this diversification gives it the ability to work across product categories to benefit customers and to react quickly to fast changing trends.
Another key is a long-term focus. This has allowed the company to navigate turbulent healthcare markets and should serve it well as this industry faces increasing demands for change. The company's dedication to research and development is a prime example of its long-term view of the world. Spending billions on R&D, the company claims that two-thirds of its growth over the past decade has been created from internal efforts.
At the end of the day, the Dow-30 component prides itself on providing products across the "full continuum of care—prevention, diagnosis and treatment." With facilities in 60 countries and products being sold in over 200, Johnson & Johnson claims to "touch more than one billion people around the world every day." That's impressive and is a testament to this more than 100 year old company's long term success.
Medical Devices
The company operates in three areas, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumer products. The company's medical devices segment is in the process of absorbing the largest acquisition in the company's history. That should help push performance over the longer term.
The medical devices division, in which the company also includes its diagnostics segment, provides products in areas such as orthopedics, neurosurgery, general surgery, vision care, diabetes care, infection prevention, cardiovascular care, and aesthetics. That's an impressive list that, with the mid-year purchase of Synthes is even more robust than it was just a year ago.
In the middle of 2012, JNJ completed the acquisition of Synthes for $19.7 billion in cash and stock. Synthes is being integrated into the company's DePuy business, to create DePuy Synthes.
Synthes is one of the largest makers of products to treat skeletal injuries, such as screws, plates, and bone grafts. DePuy is probably best known for its joint reconstruction products, among others that it offers. Although JNJ had to divest its DePuy trauma business in order to acquire Synthes, the acquisition added 7.9% to the medical device group's top line in 2012, clearly more than offsetting the lost revenue from the divestiture.
One of the nice things about the addition of Synthes is that its products are used in emergency situations, which, by definition, aren't elective. This should protect its products from both economic vagaries and, to some extent, the shifting healthcare environment. That's a nice counterbalance to the joint products for which DePuy is known, which are generally elective in nature.
So far, JNJ reports that everything is going smoothly, with the customer and sales integration process actually ahead of plan. That said, the expectation is that manufacturing integration will be more complicated and take longer.
Bigger than DePuy Synthes
The list of products noted above goes well beyond skeletal repair and joints. In fact, while DePuy Synthes is a large and important part of the medical devices group, there are plenty of other well-known brands there, as well, including Acuvue, and OneTouch, and brands that only medical professionals might know well.
So while the DePuy business accounted for over 20% of the group's revenues in 2011, and will account for even more now that it has merged with Synthes, the division has a diverse lineup of leading products. Several segments, in fact, contributed a similar percentage to the top line as DePuy in 2011. All of the products are used primarily by physicians, nurses, therapists, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and clinics. That said, certain products, including diabetes monitors and contact lenses, are also used by individual consumers.
This division accounted for about 40% of 2012 sales and is the largest medical technology business in the world. Management believes that it holds a number one or number two position in over 80% of the markets in which it participates. This group is clearly a core business that is both broad and deep.
Investing in the Future
Research and development spending is a key factor in Johnson & Johnson's long-term success as a company. While the drug business consumes the lion's share of R&D spending, the company still invested about around $3.5 billion in its medical devices group over the last two years. That's a huge amount of money and helps explain why JNJ owns so many leading brands.
Some examples of recent product introductions include the OneTouch Verio Glucose testing platform. The company describes it as "the first diabetes care device to alert and display high/low patterns to deliver meaningful and actionable insights to help patients better understand and manage diabetes." Harmonic Ace+ Shears are another recent launch.
Looking to the future, the company's purchase of Calibra Medical should result in the introduction of a insulin patch, providing an "easy-to-administer, meal-time dosing solution" for diabetics. In 2013, DePuy Synthes is planning to introduce the Attune Knee System, "which is designed to help patients who are not completely satisfied with current knee replacement systems achieve their optimum performance." That's actually a bigger issue than many doctors would have patients believe.
The Synthes acquisition required JNJ to divest one of DePuy's business units. It did this to, in the end, become a bigger and better company. However, there are times when Johnson & Johnson makes the decision to get out of a business because its prospects have dimmed. For example, the company recently announced that it was "initiating an exploratory process to evaluate strategic options for its Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (OCD) business." While there are no clear indications of what the outcome of this review will be, management seems to be telegraphing a sale.
The willingness to add businesses and sell businesses is yet another attribute of JNJ's long-term success. The decentralized structure makes this process fairly easy to accomplish, leaving top-level management to act almost like portfolio managers.
Overseas Expansion
One of the key drivers for Johnson & Johnson is growth in foreign markets, and the medical devices division is no different from the others in this regard. Unlike the company's other two divisions, however, the medical devices group has been growing strongly on both the domestic and international sides of the business. That said, international sales are already larger for this group than domestic sales, so foreign markets will become increasingly important as time goes on.
Competition? Or Not...
While JNJ is a big player across all of its products, one company stands out as a near clone, Novartis (NYSE: NVS). This company has operations in the pharmaceuticals (branded and generic), eye care (surgical, ophthalmology and consumer products), consumer products, and diagnostics areas. While it doesn't have medical devices, there is so much overlap between the two companies that they are key competitors.
Interestingly, Novartis, like JNJ, has had production problems in its consumer unit. Those problems resulted in the closure of one U.S. plant in 2012 and led to a 19% sales decline in the company's consumer health business and an operating income decrease of 93% at the unit. It is now paying third-party manufacturers to make key products Excedrin, Lamisil, and Triaminic so the over the counter drugs don't disappear from store shelves.
This exposes a key difference between the two companies because that one U.S. plant isn't the only one experiencing problems. While Novartis appears to be managing the issues, Johnson & Johnson's problems look to be fading, suggesting that it is better able to handle such difficulties. Still, investors looking to buy a broadly diversified healthcare company without a medical devices group have a solid option with Novartis.
Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) is a major competitor that is focused only on medical devices. This company's key areas of focus include cardiac rhythm disease management, cardiovascular diseases, spinal care, neuromodulation, diabetes products, and surgical technologies. One key theme in all of these is that the company is working to treat chronic medical conditions. From pace makers to insulin pumps, it has a focus around a specific type of end customer.
This is a notable difference between JNJ and Medtronic. While it's hard to say this gives either company an edge, it is clear that chronic illnesses are likely to be on the increase as the baby boomer generation ages. So, Medtronic's niche will be a growing one. Like JNJ, acquisitions have played a big role at Medtronic recently, but so, too, have product recalls. Unlike JNJ and Novartis, however, when Medtronic does a recall, it could mean major surgery for its end customers. So this is a pretty big issue to watch at the company.
Still, Medtronic is an important, pure play medical device maker with an interesting focus. Investors looking to avoid pharmaceuticals and consumer products would do well to consider it. Of course, combining it with Novartis would create a two-stock portfolio that was roughly equivalent to JNJ. Buying all three, meanwhile, would provide even more healthcare diversification.
Key Growth Driver
Johnson & Johnson is a massive player in the medical devices space. This group has been growing nicely in recent years and coupled with what looks to be a resurgent drug segment, should help to drive the company's performance over the next few years.

For Consumers
FDA proposes warning labeling for OTC vaginal contraceptives containing nonoxynol 9
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing new labeling warning statements for all over-the-counter (OTC) vaginal contraceptive drug products containing nonoxynol 9. These warning
statements will advise consumers that vaginal contraceptives containing nonoxynol 9 do not protect against infection from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), or against getting other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The warnings will also advise consumers that frequent use of vaginal contraceptives containing nonoxynol 9 can increase vaginal irritation. Increased vaginal irritation from use of nonoxynol 9 may increase the possibility of transmission of the AIDS virus (HIV) and STDs from infected partners. The agency is requesting public comment on the proposed labeling statements and how such information could best be presented in labeling. This proposal is part of FDA's ongoing review of OTC drug products.
FDA invites written or electronic comments from the public on this proposal by April 16, 2003.

[Warning: This article contains major spoilers about the Season 2 finale of The Following. Read at your own risk!]
Is it time to unfollow The Following? After a promising start, Kevin Williamson's serial killer drama felt unfocused, repetitive and overindulgent for much of its sophomore season.
On Monday's finale, Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) and Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) came face to face (again), but this time they ended up working towards a common goal.

Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) has already admitted he's not the best writer on this season of The Following, and we're starting to think he's lacking in the common sense department as well.
On Monday's episode (9/8c, Fox), Joe, Emma (Valorie Curry) and Mandy (Tiffany Boone) are still stationed with the crazy cult they encountered last week. And Emma (understandably) wants to get the hell out of Dodge, given her near-death experience last week, when the group's leader offered her up as a sacrifice.

Has Joe Carroll lost his mojo?
The serial killer at the heart of Fox's The Following seems to have been taken down a few notches this season. On last week's episode, Carroll (James Purefoy) began to question his talents as a writer, and even his No. 1 devotee, Emma (Valorie Curry) is starting to see cracks in the pedestal on which she's placed him.
"She knows now that he is fallible, whereas before he was very godlike to her," Curry tells TVGuide.com. "Now, she's borne the brunt of his mistakes, of his weaknesses. ... Their relationship is going to be different going forward, [with Emma] knowing now that he is capable of making mistakes. He also admits that he needs her ... as a partner, not so much as a follower."
The Following's Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) fell off the "let's not kill people" wagon on last week, and it looks like he'll be getting the hell out of dodge Arkansas post-haste to reunite with his followers in New York City. But will his adopted daughter of sorts, Mandy (new cast member Tiffany Boone), go with him?
"You will be very surprised by Mandy," Boone tells TVGuide.com. "I think [Monday's installment] is the episode that defines who she is and who she's going to be for the rest of the season. I was shocked by the things that she does and decisions she makes, and I think the fans will be too."

I love ebay finds! It's such an overwhelming place so always nice when someone shares great items. Thanks Faith!
Haha, looks like my mom is selling our cookie cutters! We have been using these every Xmas in our family, during the annual Xmas cookie making evening. How funny we have the exact same ones. They have been handed down from who knows how many generations.
I was going to say the same thing about my Mom Tiffany, except we didn't have the turkey one.
p.s. I always remember having problems with the larger gingerbread boy cutter - would never come out in one piece.
Tiffany I was going to say the same thing too! And yes, the big g-man always loses a leg or something if he doesn't split in half.
My mom has those exact cookie cutters, too. :) And yes, the gingerbread guy always has problems with losing limbs if we roll out the dough too thin.
i actually made my mom send me those exact cutters (plus more!) when she moved... making christmas cookies with them is one of my all-time favorite things! except the santa always comes out weird and people have to ask what it is... :)
If this is my mom selling, she's in BIG trouble.

If any loyal readers are reading this right now, you may remember that I'm in a fledgling band called GHOULS. I am very pleased to announce that we had our first show ever this Friday night.
We played a "concert" at an event we created called Sustainability Bash. It was hosted at Luther's Sustainability House, which is inhabited by many friends (and my girlfriend used to live there). The house isn't the most obvious choice for a show of any kind, but it actually worked really well. We cleared out a large area of the main living room and set up a few amplifiers next to the house's worn-out old piano.
The show started a 20 minute set from another Luther band that is still unnamed*. The band consisted of our friends Annie and Marge, who play acoustic guitar and cajon, respectively. They played mostly covers, most of which were of a similar indie-folk variety, but were very enjoyable nonetheless. The intimate setting of the show made their variety of music ideal.
GHOULS was next.
In the past 5 months, GHOULS has slowly been writing songs and practicing infrequently. When I say "GHOULS", I mean my friend Chelanga and I playing piano and guitar. About two weeks ago we added our pal Ethan to the band. Ethan has been playing guitar and providing some song-writing input. We currently have 8 original songs written, though two of them will probably be retired.
We played 6 songs at the show, each to applause and approving words from the small audience of friends. It felt really good, and it made me feel nostalgic for a band that I had with a couple of my middle/high school friends. Playing music with friends is one of the most rewarding activities I can think of, and I'm extremely happy to go to a school where likeminded, music-loving people are all around me. I also wrote my first non-joke song ever, so that was proud achievement.
GHOULS is on the Luther radar.
*They have a few names in mind, the most popular of which is "The Fart Cadets" (suggested by Chelanga).

In the Alentejo of Portugal there are fields of ancient cork trees. Every seven years a tree has the bark stripped off leaving a red trunk. The Portuguese say the trees are blushing because they feel naked. The cork used to be used for corks in wine bottles. Now there is a huge market for cork to be used to make handbags, belts, wallets, hot plates, and all sorts of handicrafts.
All over Portugal you can purchase these well made cork products.
I bought several cork and silver bracelets as gifts when I was in Portugal recently.
Thanks, Lauren.
You should see the piles of cork drying in the sun. It's so interesting!

1/3 cup salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon pepper
2 sticks butter
5 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon rosemary
2 teaspoons fennel seed
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pepper
The day before, rub the defrosted turkey in and out with the rub. Let sit for at least 8 hours in the refrigerator.
Mix together the ingredients for the butter, then spread all over the turkey inside and out. Bake at 350 F for about 15 minutes per pound, or your thermometer reads
16 cups bread (cubed)
1 stick butter
2 cups onions
2 cups celery
1 tablespoon thyme
3 cups chicken broth
Package of sausage
1 Sweet potato
2 eggs (beaten)
1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
Heat the butter in a large skillet. Add the onions, celery and thyme and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth; simmer and remove from heat.
Meanwhile, cook the sausage and cube the sweet potato.
Mix the chicken broth in with the cubed bread, add the beaten eggs and parsley. Last, stir in the cooked sausage and the sweet potato.
Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes covered, and another 20 minutes uncovered.
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
3 heads garlic, split in 1/2
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 stick butter, cubed
1/2 to 3/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Place the garlic on a pie pan and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool. Squeeze or remove the garlic cloves from the head and place in a small bowl. Using a fork, mash the garlic until smooth. Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and drain. Place the potatoes back in the pot and return to the heat. Stir the potatoes, constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes to dehydrate the potatoes. Remove the potatoes from the heat. Add the garlic and butter. Using a hand-held masher, mash the butter and garlic into the potatoes. Add enough cream until desired texture is achieved. The potatoes should still be sort of lumpy. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
Green Beans and Bacon (recipe from Food Network Magazine)2 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1/2 pound bacon, roughly chopped
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Toss the green beans into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until bright green in color and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the beans and shock in a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the beans and pat dry.
Cook the bacon in a large, heady saute pan until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Spoon off the excess bacon grease, leaving 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add the onion and saute until soft and very tender, 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until just fragrant, about 1 more minute. Add the reserved green beans and the pecans and cool until heated through, 5-6 minutes more. Return the bacon to the pan, pour in the lemon juice and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
1 1/2 pounds pears
2/3 cup granulated sugar
Pumpkin Cheesecake
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from 14 crackers)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
.25 ounce envelope unflavored
8 ounce bar cream cheese, at room
15 ounce can pumpkin puree
1 cup sour cream
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Heat oven to
400. In
medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Transfer to
a 9 inch spring
form pan. Using a straight-sided dry measuring cup, press the mixture in to the
bottom and 2 inches
up the sides of the pan. Bake until set, 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
Sprinkle the gelatin over ¼ cup boiling water. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until dissolves, about 5 minutes. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the pumpkin, sour cream, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Mix in the gelatin mixture until incorporated. Pour the mixture into the crust and refrigerate, covered, until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
Apple- Pear- Ginger Pie (recipe from Food Network Magazine)
Crust (Paula Dean's Perfect Pie Crust):
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3 tablespoons granulated white sugar
1/4 cup vegetable shortening, cold
12 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup ice water
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt and sugar. Add the shortening and break it up with your hands as you start to coat it all up with the flour. Add the cold butter cubes and work it into the flour with your hands or a pastry cutter. Work it quickly, so the butter doesn't get too soft, until the mixture is crumbly, like very coarse cornmeal. Add the ice water, a little at a time, until the mixture comes together forming a dough. Bring the dough together into a ball.
When it comes together stop working it otherwise the dough will get over-worked and tough. Divide the dough in half and flatten it slightly to form a disk shape. Wrap each disk in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. On a floured surface roll each disk out into a 10 to 11-inch circle to make a 9-inch pie.
Filling:1 1/2 pounds mixed apples
1 1/2 pounds pears
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, beaten
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Peel and core the apples and pears; slice 1/4 inch thick. Toss with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and pears and cook, stirring, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour, ginger and salt; cook until thickened, 1 more minutes. Let cool.
Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch pie plate. Add the apples and pears, mounding them slightly in the center, and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into decorative shapes; arrange on top of the filling. Brush with a beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Place the pie on a hot baking sheet, and bake at 375 F until golden; about 1 hour. Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly. Cool on a rack.

A barricade situation came to a peaceful end Wednesday night as Chandler Police arrested a suspect who ran from them and holed up inside an apartment complex near McQueen and Chandler Blvd.
He was armed, so SWAT was called in to get him to surrender.
The suspect was wanted on a felony warrant. He would not pull over for officers -- and then jumped out of his moving car and ran into an apartment.
In the end he gave up and no one was hurt.
The suspect was identified as Jesse Romero, 22.

The Daily Five: Top Rockstar Games NOT Named GTA
Grand Theft Auto V took the gaming world by storm last week, setting records and making us here at Stealthy Box absolutely jubilant over the incredible ways to cause chaos while traveling in Los Santos. It is only natural that GTAV has garnered a fair amount debate as to how it compares to the GTAs of the past. While there is no doubting GTA's long history of greatness, let us not forget Rockstar's other gems. While some may not be as high profile as Grand Theft Auto, they are still excellent in their own right.
Today, Stealthy Box lists off five excellent games from Rockstar Games that aren't named Grand Theft Auto.
Red Dead Redemption
Much more than "Grand Theft Horse," Red Dead Redemption is a glorious tale of a man struggling for redemption (hence the name) in a time that didn't offer many second chances. This masterpiece of a game set in the old west tackled an era mostly unexplored in the industry. Players felt like they were in the middle of a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western. There were duels at high noon, horse thieving, Mexican bandits, crazy ol' miners, and all the other touches a western epic requires.
All of this garnish would have been for naught if the story was not as epic as the setting, but it was. John Marston was a man that players could instantly relate to: A man with a less-than-savory past that only wanted to move forward and live his life with his family. It is a timeless tale, and it was played to perfection. Marston wasn't a "good guy," and wouldn't have claimed to be, but we all wanted him to be able to save his family and live that quiet farm life he so desired. Rockstar made us empathize and connect emotionally with a man that was at his core a liar and a murderer; not an easy task.
Red Dead Redemption is one of the great surprises of this video game generation. It dared to tell a story of a man that, in many ways, was a villain and begged us to care about him, all set on a backdrop that really hadn't been done well at that time. RDR was a huge gamble on Rockstar's part, and it paid off big.
Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis
It still feels strange just typing that title, but Rockstar made a great table tennis game! While some will criticize it for its simplicity, Table Tennis is a highly accurate game that most would not have expected from Rockstar. It was never going to be a game of the year, but Table Tennis was a great distraction now and again. Easy to pick-and-play and understand, Table Tennis really showed Rockstar's depth and ability to put out something you never expect. Sure, it was more or less a tech demo for the engine that would be used in Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption, but that didn't make this charming game any less fun to play.
Max Payne
Dark and grisly tales are nothing new for Rockstar, but this story of a rogue DEA agent searching for the people responsible for the death of his wife and child is much darker than we have come to expect. Told in a gritty film noir style with graphic novel panels in lieu of cutscenes, Max Payne sticks out among the games presented by Rockstar. Instead of learning the story through our own observations, Max narrates his internal thoughts and feelings directly to the player, giving us an insight into this game's protagonist missing in much of the Grand Theft Auto series.
Although the gameplay would be considered gimmicky by most now (Max Payne makes heavy use of bullet time, popularized by The Matrix), it is still a worthwhile play if just for the gritty story. We don't get many tales like this anymore, especially not ones told with this kind of style. After you get done playing Grand Theft Auto V, track down a copy of the original Max Payne and give it a go.

Neil Oseman at Hay Festival of British Film
Hay Film School is pleased to present a shorts session with local filmmaker Neil Oseman on Saturday 22nd September, as part of the Hay Festival of British Film.
In the session, which will take place at Booth's Bookshop Cinema at 3.30pm, Neil will show clips from his forthcoming short, Stop/Eject and discuss his experiences of using crowd-funding to finance his project.
Neil Oseman
Neil has been making films since he was fifteen. Now at 31 he has made two features, DP'd four others, shot and edited countless shorts, directed Benedict Cumberbatch on 35mm and been dubbed "The Spielberg of Hereford" by The Guardian. Neil says
"Second only to my love of filmmaking is my passion for sharing how I make them and what I learn from the process"
and this session is a must see for anyone interested in the art of filmmaking and the realities of independent film production in the UK.
Neil's Biography
Neil directed his first feature-length film at the age of fifteen and won his first paying directing job at just nineteen. At 21 he completed his first professional feature, The Beacon. Over the next three years he co-wrote, directed, produced, photographed and edited Soul Searcher, which The Guardian described as "a fantasy action movie in the grand style". In spite of its microbudget, the ambitious film includes over 250 effects shots, martial arts and a chase between a '73 Ford Mustang and an express train to Hell, and was shot entirely at night. Press reviews called it "ground breaking" and "a remarkable achievement", and Neil was named a winner of the Channel 4 Ideas Factory's Creative Class in 2005.
His short film credits include The Picnic, Traction, Cow Trek and Possibilities and, as a DoP he has six feature films to his name, including two shot in New York.
Neil is currently developing his third feature film as writer-director, The Dark Side of the Earth, having recently shot a 35mm pilot for the project starring Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Atonement) and Kate Burdette (The Duchess). More information can be found at www.darksideoftheearth.com
Hay on Film in Full Swing
Hay on Film: Make a Short Film
One of the excellent workshops running on Friday 25th May at the forthcoming Hay on Film weekend is Make a Short Film.
a day in Hay learning how to use a high end camera
There will be 3 'teams' of 8 delegates for this 3 Camera Workshop practical event.
The same high-end HD cameras used for Feature Films, Dramas, Commercials and Documentaries will be used in this workshop, with experienced camera origination mentors helping the teams throughout the day. Director of Photography STEVE BROOKE-SMITH GBCT, Camera Operator RODRIGO GUTIERREZ, Associate BSC, GBCT and ACO and Focus Puller SHIRLEY SCHUMACHER GBCT will be key members of the three mentoring teams
3 scripts will be sent to delegates early in the week of May 14th. Several 'locations' are available to us including Hay Castle grounds, The Golf Club for external scenes and a choice of venues for internal shooting.
Pre-shoot meetings take place during the morning of Friday 25th May and shooting will be from Noon until 6pm.
There are still places left and the cost of participating is £50.
If the 'teams' wish to, The Encounters Short Film & Animation Film Festival has kindly agreed to waive there entry fees for the finished films into the September 2012
This special event is supported by Creative Skillset, the BSC, the GBCT (The Guild of British Camera Technicians), the ACO (The Association of Camera Operators) and Encounters.
What Goes Around
Look out for new information on the Hay Film School Weekend at the end of May. It is going to be quite an extravanganza of screenings, Q&As, workshops and a chance to see some of the latest in production equipment.
The main venue will be at the new Brook Street Cinema, which is part of Richard Booth's Bookshop. The concrete went down earlier this week and soon the seating will be going in. It is very exciting to see a new screen launch anywhere but it is particularly poignant here in Hay where, 47 years ago, Richard Booth launched his first second-hand bookshop in what was to become the Town of Books. The fact that it was in the old Cinema, that Hay has not had a cinema since, and that the Brook Street Cinema is in the Bookshop that still carries the name of Booth seems all very right.

Ecuador's foreign minister announced on Thursday that the country would grant asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, defying threats by the British government to storm the Ecuadorean Embassy and extradite Assange to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning in cases of alleged rape and sexual molestation.
"We have decided to grant political asylum to him," Ricardo Patino said at the end of a long televised statement from the Ecuadorean capital of Quito, where he criticized the U.S. and U.K. governments for failing to protect Assange from political persecution.
"The countries that have a right to protect Assange have failed him," Patino said. "[Assange] is victim of political persecution. … If Assange is extradited to U.S., he will not receive a fair trial."
The foreign minister said that Ecuador asked Sweden to promise it would not extradite Assange to the United States, but Sweden refused.

2011 BCS National Championship
Auburn 22, Oregon 19
Attendance: 78,603
Stadium: University of Phoenix Stadium
Offensive Player of the Game: Michael Dyer, Auburn
Defensive Player of the Game: Nick Fairley, Auburn
Head Coaches: Chip Kelly, Oregon - Gene Chizik, Auburn
Weather: Indoors
Television: ESPN
Top-ranked Auburn stars Cam Newton, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, and defensive tackle Nick Fairley, the Lombardi Trophy recipient, led the Tigers to a narrow, final-play victory over no. 2 Oregon in a clash of unbeatens in the Tostitos Bowl Championship Series (BCS) National Championship Game (BCS NCG) at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The two titans of college football in 2010, separated by only a whisker in the final BCS rankings (Auburn .9866, Oregon .9720) and statistics, met on the gridiron for the first time.
The Southeastern Conference's Tigers and Pac-12 Conference Ducks arrived in Arizona armed with prodigious offenses. Oregon, spearheaded by all-America running back and Heisman Trophy finalist LaMichael James, the nation's leading rusher for America's top-scoring team, averaged 49.3 points and 537.5 total yards per game. Auburn's offensive statistics were nearly as gaudy — 42.7 points and 497.7 total yards per outing. Collectively, their offenses covered nearly two and one-half miles of turf during the season yet only 20 yards separated them in total yardage — 6,470 (Auburn), 6,450 (Oregon).
However, the anticipated offensive shootout unexpectedly evolved into a low-scoring affair. Two teams that combined to score 92 points and gain 1,035 total yards per game during the season combined to muster only 41 points. The scoreless first quarter was a harbinger of things to come. Only three touchdowns were tallied and none by victorious Auburn in the second half.
Fairley led a staunch Auburn defensive unit that forced three turnovers and crafted a pivotal third-quarter goal-line stand. He finished with 5 tackles, including 3 behind the line of scrimmage, 1 quarterback sack and 1 forced fumble en route to the defensive player of the game award.
Auburn's defense limited a Duck offense averaging 303.8 rushing yards per game to only 75 yards on the ground or nearly 229 below its average.
Forced to pass, Oregon set a BCS NCG record with 374 yards through the air. An 81-yard completion between quarterback Darron Thomas and wide receiver Jeff Maehl to the Auburn seven-yard line led to the Ducks' only first-half touchdown, an eight-yard pass from Thomas to LaMichael James three plays later followed by Rob Beard's two-point rush.
Auburn's two first-half touchdowns were passes from quarterback Cam Newton to Kodi Burns (35 yards) and Emory Blake (30 yards).
The Tigers led 16–11 at halftime and 19–11 late in the fourth quarter.
Cue the dramatics!
Oregon linebacker Casey Matthews forced a fumble when he punched the ball out of Newton's hands after a short gain, causing a fumble that Duck cornerback Cliff Harris recovered with 4:54 to play.
Thomas seized the moment and drove Oregon to a touchdown on a two-yard shovel pass to James. Thomas also converted the two-point conversion attempt with a pass to Maehl that tied the score 19–19.
Only 2:17 remained on the clock.
Sitting on its 25-yard line following the kickoff and facing overtime against Oregon's lethal offense, Auburn turned to freshman running back Michael Dyer. On second down following a 15-yard pass completion to Emory, Dyer, the game's offensive MVP, took a Newton handoff and broke free into Oregon's secondary. Thirty-seven yards later, the Tigers were camped on Oregon's 23-yard line. Another Dyer rush for 16 yards three plays later put the Tigers' on Oregon's one-yard line with 10 seconds to play.
As time expired, Auburn place kicker Wes Byrum booted a game-winning 19-yard field goal to give the Tigers an unblemished 14–0 season and their first national championship since 1957. It was the first time the BCS NCG was decided as time expired as well as on an offensive play.
The three-point margin of victory matched the closest in BCS NCG history, joining the 2006 game (Texas 41, Southern California 38).
Auburn became the fifth consecutive BCS NCG winner from the Southeastern Conference, joining Alabama (2010), Florida (2007, '09) and Louisiana State (2008).

Lightroom Plugin: Exactly what export settings does it use??
This question can most likely only be answered by Blurb staff, unless anyone else knows the inner workings of the plugin or has done some testing…
As there are no user definable export settings available in the LR booksmart plugin, what settings does the plugin apply to the images when published?
—What output sharpening settings?
Even if we are not told all the specifics above, the underlying question is does the LR/Plugin/Booksmart truly optimize images for Blurb books, or do we just have random settings that we will never be able to determine?
Hopefully blurb staff will provide some basic info.
Can I suggest you contact Blurb staff directly with these questions? The forums are primarily aimed at at users, such as you and I, helping each other rather than a means of contacting Blurb. If you do so it would be great if you posted their response back here, I'm a Lightroom user as well but haven't yet upgaded to version 3.
If you are not sure how to contact them go to the Help menu at the top or bottom of this page and select Customer Support, from there select the Contact Support tab.

Mine is a general question applicable to all users. The forum is perfectly appropriate for that.
I'll add one to your list:
Are there any provisions for soft-proofing or must we still go to Photoshop to do it?
I am also very interested in this.
I was able to locate where the plugin deposited the images in the 'Library' and do a bit of inspection. They appear to be the same pixel dimension as the original … so there is no down-sizing going on. But the question of compression and colour space is relevant. I bet the colour space conversion is sRGB … that's the most reasonable.
But the big ticket item is output sharpening…whcih I used extensively in my 'old' workflow. I would know the container size, output to the exact pixel dimensions and output sharpen for MATTE-high pretty much for all the paper types.
I would not like to lose this ability in the workflow. I tried a convoluted setup where I collected my images into a collection, made my edits and exported with output sharpening and then pulled them back in to LR to hook into the Publish template for LR. Not worth the effort as it was very convulted and that essentially this breaks the ability to make an edit and have it reflected in the book.
So, please post any reponse you get to your ticket
I had a frustrating back and forth with Blurb support about this and finally got a response with someone who understood the issues and gave me this response:
"The final exported size of the image is either original size, or 3900 pixels at it's widest (for our 13" book size) for images that exceed this amount. I've seen the grainy problem you describe for small image containers but it mostly depends on the image content, e.g., a high iso image will appear very grainy in a small image container. You usually won't see any degradation in the image until it's quite a lot larger than the container (4+ times the size). So if you are concerned with this I would recommend not using the plugin and exporting your images the old way from Lightroom. Or, you may also consider using our PDF to Book workflow if you use InDesign."
This obviously leaves a lot to be desired in terms of control and says nothing about the sharpening settings. I had been concerned about the grainy quality of downsized images when they didn't fit the container size using export method.
The fact that the LR pug in doesn't allow to set the size of the picture it makes it useless for me. I've learnt from test books I made that it is essentially important to set the pixel size exactly to the size of the picture box in the book. Every picture which was bigger looked worse downsized, no matter whether it was downsized 200 % or just 30 %. Funnywise upsizing is not needed, a picture upsized 50 percent in the book doesn't look different from the one with the perfect pixel count.
Luckiliy chosing the pixel count by exporting from LR is very easy.
LR doesn't know how you will use the images. BookSmart users might also change the magnification to get a better composition once it's in the final image frame. If you set the image size manually on export using the BookSmart plugin you would have to be prepared to republish every image you adjusted the size / shape of.
If the communication worked two ways. BookSmart could tell the LR plugin that an image needed republishing at whatever size in which case there could be a BookSmart export plugin that could control sharpening etc … I don't know whatBookSmart does about resizing but if I had to trust one, I would rather LR did it.
Are you saying that if BookSmart has to scale down an image from 3000×2000 to say 1800×1200 that it will do a poor job and introduce artifacts in the printed version?
This would make the LR plugin worse than worthless as it would be easier to manually export each photo and scale it yourself. The plugin has no settings to scale or resample. Surely down-scaling algorithms are far more simple to do well than up-scaling.
I use LR3 on Mac. I am almost ready to upload my first book to Blurb. But I have done no photo scaling to match the dimensions of picture boxes in the book and all of my photos are 240 DPI.
Are you telling me I have to manually rescale every photo before I upload the book or risk a bad printed result?
This is hard to believe. Please let me know so I dont waste $90 on a junky book.

Lessons Learned From Traveling With Dietary Restrictions
When you have severe or multiple dietary restrictions, traveling can be frustrating, depressing ... or a lot of fun, especially if you do some advance planning. Here are a few things I've learned from personal experience on the road and in the air.
- Research, research, research. Yes, it takes some of the spontaneity out of travel, but prior research can make the trip more enjoyable for yourself and your traveling companions. Check out restaurant locations and menus online, map out the nearest grocery stores, learn about the local cuisine and what foods you might want to seek out and steer clear from.
- Bring plenty of nutritious snacks. Never assume that your dietary needs will be covered. I've learned to pack more food than I think I'll need, and to snack between meals so I can graciously sit with friends and family at restaurants. Some personal favorites: instant miso soup, chia bread, peanut butter, and my Cakey, Oaty Energy Bars Packed with Fruits & Seeds.
- Visit farmers' markets. Even if I can't eat at every restaurant, I love visiting farmers' markets because I still get a taste of local flavors and culture. I can eat most fruits and vegetables, so I like to put together a picnic of fresh foods from the market alongside my pre-packed snacks, find a place to sit, and people watch.
- Find accommodations with a kitchen (or some means of cooking). Staying in a place with a kitchen, or even just a fridge and a hot plate, can make a big difference — plus it's fun! I've stayed in some really unique rentals thanks to Airbnb and VRBO and have fond memories of cooking foraged berry jam in the galley of a boat and frying breadfruit in an electric skillet on the lanai.
- Pack things to soothe your tummy, skin, etc. Inevitably I do end up eating something that doesn't quite agree, so I always carry backup, like herbal teas for digestion, a bottle of bitters, and skin salve for hives.
Do you or a family member have dietary restrictions? What lessons have you learned from traveling?

I completely agree!! I have been a vegetarian for 30 years, in addition to just wanting to eat healthy in general, and I have found myself half starving in a locale with no options too many times. Now I don't leave for a trip without researching the food options at my destination. And I always carry small packages of peanut butter (see peanut butter post!) as well as fruit and nut bars.
Celiac, dairy-allergic, fructose-intolerant, and unable to eat most fruits, many vegetables, and many nuts due to cross-reactivity... and I rarely travel as a result, since generally it means I'm going to end up sick for part of the trip. When I do travel, I try to stay in places with kitchens, I do my research about restaurants, and I stick with cuisines that are generally safe (I can manage okay with Thai and Mexican usually). But I have to admit that this is why I haven't seen Paris yet - I'm afraid I'd starve!
I don't have allergies or dietary restrictions outside of eating as organically as possible, when possible. HOWEVER I think that researching dining option is the absolute way to me being most happy when traveling. I often get very cranky when I'm hungry and I hate more than anything wandering around looking at menus and trying to find something that's not some overpriced tourist trap with mediocre to poor food. I want to eat where the locals eat! I want authentic food prepared well! So I always arrive armed with as many restaurant recommendations as is possible. And also I find a grocery store or fresh market as soon as possible to get local produce. I have a young child so apartments are best for us, we bring our own coffee and French press and pick up some breakfasty foods the night before or hubby goes out for pastries if they are available and we have a big breakfast in the apartment to keep us fueled until lunch.
It really is hard to follow a strict diet, with particular ingredients, depending on where you go! I travel to Italy every summer and used to bring EVERYTHING with me (tahini, gluten-free pasta, almond butter, coconut oil, even cumin!) but now these foods are becoming more widespread so this make sit easy for me to prepare the same meals as I do at home!
Ooh... thankfully, I'm lucky enough to not have too many allergies or sensitivities (the only real sensitivity is that I can't handle anything spicy), but I am vegan. And yeah, it does take rather a lot of planning! Lots of reading Happy Cow, bringing snacks, and trying to stay close to supermarkets and the like.

Don't be afraid of starving in Paris. Yes there are lots of off limits foods that are french specialties but Paris does have a decent ethnic food scene. There are falafel shops in the Marais, shawarma stands etc and definitely Thai restaurants in the city. With some research and staying in a place with a kitchenette you'll be fine. There's a gluten free guide to France out too now. Oh and definitely farmers markets where you can choose your own ingredients and interact with the locals. Good luck!
I'm a lifelong vegetarian and recent vegan convert so I am all-too-familiar with this issue! Packing snacks, instant soups, peanut butter, and going to grocery stores to stock up on things like cereal/soy milk for breakfast is usually a good start.
Thanks for the tips! It's more the dairy that worries me than the gluten - I mean, I can't even eat butter. But I could happily subsist on ethnic food, so this is something I'll keep in mind should a travel opportunity ever present itself.

Topic - NEW ARTICLE: Echoes by Nick Bullock
Michael Ryan - on 21 Nov 2006
"On another occasion I held the head of an inmate, pushing a gym vest into the hole in his skull where he had been hit twice over the back of the head as he leaned forward to pick up a weight from the floor. A contract had been taken out on the inmate as it had been discovered that he was a paedophile. The price I found out later was a twenty pound crack deal. The second swing from the iron weight-training bar puncturing the inmate's skull, saving his life, reducing the pressure that had built from the first death-dealing blow. I wallowed in tangled, twisted, sticky, strings of clear cerebral fluid that hung from his ears like Nepalese prayer flags."

A new paper by Hal Scott of Harvard Law School — which draws from a
close analysis of the Lehman Brothers and AIG cases — casts doubt on the validity of an
idea that underlies the Dodd-Frank Act. The act is based on the notion that the failure of a large financial firm like Lehman could cause another systemic crisis because of the firm's "interconnections" with other large firms. Accordingly, the Financial Stability Oversight Council is authorized under the act to designate large banks and nonbank financial institutions as "systemically important" because of their interconnections with others, and subjects them to stringent new regulation by the Federal Reserve. The Fed, in turn, has proposed a regulation that would limit interconnections among these large financial firms. Scott, however, shows that interconnections were not responsible for the chaos that followed the Lehman bankruptcy. Instead, Scott suggests that "contagion" — the tendency for runs to develop among firms that rely on short-term funding — is a better explanation for what happened in the 2008 financial crisis. The Dodd-Frank Act, he argues, would be more effective if it focused on preventing run-like behavior rather than imposing new and restrictive regulation on individual institutions. This conference will examine the Scott paper and its implications for the Dodd-Frank Act. To register, please visit http://www.aei.org/events/2013/02/08/is-dodd-frank-chasing-a-ghost/

While watching the fourth quarter of the Hawks/Bucks closeout Game 7 on ABC, I couldn't help but be pleased when I heard the national broadcast team of Mike Tirico and Hubie Brown speak so glowingly about the UCLA basketball program. Bucks second year forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had tipped a ball out of bounds while going for an offensive rebound when Tirico started talking about him and the UCLA program. After the ensuing Hawks' offensive possession, Mbah a Moute grabbed the defensive rebound, ran the floor, and was fouled going up for a layup. While he was at the free throw line, Tirico took the time to continue his praise of UCLA and the volume of quality NBA players they've produced recently under coach Ben Howland. Former coach and current analyst Hubie Brown also joined in on the action. Here's how their exchange went:

Dan Patrick to Compete With Cowherd, Tirico or Van Pelt as Replacements?
So Dan Patrick's exit date from ESPN Radio is quickly approaching, and now a lot of questions will be answered. For one, what timeslot will Patrick's new show occupy, and secondly, who will replace him at ESPN? Well, quite wisely, Patrick's new company has elected not to have him compete with Jim Rome. Additionally, it looks like I could have been right when I said Mike Tirico might replace Patrick.
The Houston Chronicle says that Scott Van Pelt and/or Mike Tirico could replace Patrick on the radio. We've already heard Van Pelt fill in for Patrick now, and he seems pretty natural. I have no doubt the same could be said about Tirico. Now, with the new company, Patrick's show will air from 9am-noon ET, as opposed to his current 1pm-4pm ET slot. Patrick won't be competing with Jim Rome, instead, he'll be on opposite the Herd. I can easily see several markets picking up Patrick's show in that timeslot — especially on the East Coast when the morning drive is over. Now, we shall wait and see who ESPN hires as the replacement.
(via Ben Maller)
Dan Patrick to Sporting News? Mike Tirico to ESPN Radio?
Now that the announcement from Dan Patrick is official and we know he's leaving ESPN August 17th, what will his next step be? Speculation has been that he will try to venture out and syndicate his own show, similar to the way The Jim Rome Show is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks. Such a venture would allow Patrick's programming to appear on any type of station that chooses to pick up his show, be it an ESPN, FOX, or Sporting News affiliate.
Many signs point to Patrick's emergence at Sporting News Radio. Whether or not he becomes a full-fledged employee of Sporting News is debatable. What we do know is that it would be beneficial for Patrick to syndicate his show independently so it can be carried by any type of station and not be limited to Sporting News affiliates. Additionally, a recent peak at the Sporting News Radio on-air programming schedule shows that previous midday host Dave Smith has been moved to the 6am-9am ET slot, with his show being rebroadcast from 1pm-4pm ET — Dan Patrick's current slot at ESPN. Putting those elements together strongly indicates that Sporting News is clearing up a slot for Patrick. Sources also tell me that Patrick and Sporting News have been negotiating for the past few months. It's also worth noting that Patrick's brother, Bill Pugh, is the director of programming at Sporting News.
This all brings me to ESPN. With Patrick sure to leave, where does that leave them? The way I see it, they have three options to fill Dan's slot. The first option is to bring in a big name from the broadcasting business — someone with instant credibility and plenty of nationwide recognition whom the listeners will know and respect — your Joe Buck, James Brown, Mike Tirico type. The second option is a lesser-known name with radio experience working at ESPN — your fill-ins such as Doug Gottlieb, Josh Elliott, Brian Kenny, John Seibel. The third option is to pluck an up-and-coming broadcaster with a proven track record at a smaller market — what they did with Colin Cowherd. This strategy worked out well with Cowherd, would they be able to pull it off once again?
In this case, the question that must be answered is the following: does ESPN make the man, or does the man make ESPN? If you believe the former, then you would think they could stick anyone in Patrick's slot because people will naturally gravitate towards any ESPN product. To that end, so long as the host is good, they would become an instant star. If you believe the latter, then you would think ESPN needs to swing for the fences. Which is what I'm hearing they'll do. Sources tell me that a popular name being thrown around as the potential man to fill the shoes of Dan Patrick at ESPN Radio will be Mike Tirico. Tirico certainly is a well-respected, credible name in the business who will command the same type of attention Dan Patrick had. If the two sides could make it work, that would be a natural fit.
