Report: Jay-Z planning Times Square concert
Listen to Jay-Z on iHeartRadio
Jay-Z may be planning to take New York's Times Square by storm. According to the "New York Post," the rapper is planning to hold a surprise concert atop the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater next month.
Sources tell the newspaper Jay is finalizing plans for a July 8th appearance on CBS's "Late Show With David Letterman," which is recorded in the Ed Sullivan Theater. Back in 2010, the rapper planned to host a similar concert, but the performance was nixed by the city over concerns about the large crowd it would have attracted. One law enforcement official tells the "Post" that if the concert is given the green light, there will have to be a "strong police presence," adding that it will be chaos with so many fans.
Meantime, for the third straight day, Jay-Z released lyrics to a new song through the Samsung Mobile app promoting his upcoming album. Titled "Oceans," the latest song features Odd Future singer Frank Ocean. The track references subjects such as the transatlantic slave trade and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Jay-Z's latest album Magna Carta Holy Grail is set to arrive on July 4th.

WORLD PREMIERE: Nicki Minaj 'Anaconda'
Listen to Nicki Minaj Radio on iHeartRadio
Nicki Minaj has shared the second single from her upcoming album ... and you may find the song very familiar.
Nicki's new single "Anaconda" samples Sir Mix-A-Lot's world-famous '90s hip-hop track "Baby Got Back."
Check out the full song below:
Nicki recently chatted it up with Ryan Seacrest and explained how the song came about. "We [her and her producers] were in the studio in L.A. - I was in one room, they were in the other - they said, 'Okay, let's see what we can do.' And I walked back in the studio and I said, 'Oh my God, this is exactly the feel I was going for' because it was fun." She continued, "I wanted to have fun, I wanted to have something for girls to dance to in the club, and to me it worked in every way possible."
Check out the full interview below:
Nicki also released a teaser for the "Anaconda" music video! The 15-second video shows Nicki in a jungle setting. Check it out below!

SAN BERNARDINO - The son of former Mayor Judith Valles has landed a contract with the city to collect on roughly $6 million in outstanding penalties assessed against properties not up to code.
Attorney Chadwick Bradbury, who has a private practice in Palm Desert and worked as an in-house litigator for the San Bernardino City Attorney's Office from July 3 to Wednesday, Jan. 9, will receive a $6,000 monthly retainer and a 25-percent commission on all monies he collects for the city, according to his contract - approved by the City Council on a 6-1 vote on Dec. 17.
Bradbury, 53, of Palm Desert, began his new job as a contract employee for the city on Thursday.
City Attorney James Penman said the city has fallen behind on its collections from noncompliant property owners and that the city's bankruptcy has prompted aggressive action.
"This is money that's out there that we need to go after," Penman said.
Councilman Fred Shorett, the only council member who voted against the contract, said the contract is too lucrative and unnecessary given the resources the City Attorney's Office already has at its fingertips.
"I don't understand why we should be paying a $6,000 monthly retainer. It doesn't make any sense," Shorett said. "And a 25-percent commission is ridiculously high."
Bradbury will also be tasked with prosecuting civil enforcement actions through the court including judicial foreclosures, which will allow the city to collect on its administrative civil penalties, and receivership petitions, which will allow an appointed receiver to borrow on the equity of the noncompliant properties in order to bring them up to code.
In six months, the terms of Bradbury's contract, i.e. his monthly retainer and his commission rate, will be re-negotiated based on a performance evaluation and a cost/benefit analysis, according to the contract.
Bradbury's first order of business is to collect roughly $2.1 million in administrative civil penalties assessed from 12 properties in which liens have already been issued by the court, Penman said.
Shorett questions why Penman didn't task one of his own attorneys on staff to do the job. If a contract was necessary, Shorett questions why it didn't go out to bid.Penman said the contract, per city policy, didn't need to go out to bid because it is a service contract. He said Bradbury, as an in-house litigator for the city, settled a number of cases favorable to the city and was able to start on some of the judicial foreclosures he has resumed under his contract.
"We were very impressed with him. He did a very good job for us," Penman said.
Bradbury was one of roughly 20 applicants who responded to an ad the city placed in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Daily Journals - the state's largest legal newspapers - seeking an in-house litigator. Penman said Bradbury was selected for the job based on his more than 15 years of experience as a litigator and glowing recommendations from other attorneys and judges, not his relationship to the former Mayor.
"He was by far the stand-out applicant," Penman said. "He was head and shoulders above everybody else."
Valles said she did not reach out to any of her former colleagues in city government to lobby for her son, whom she said is a former Palm Springs firefighter who became a lawyer after injuring himself on the job and taking a disability retirement.
"I didn't do that while I was Mayor, why would I do that now? That would be stupid," Valles said Friday. "I didn't call anybody or try to influence anybody."
Penman said with Bradbury's qualifications, he would have recommended Bradbury for the contract even if he were the son of current Mayor Pat Morris.
Shorett said he is concerned about how some may view Bradbury's hiring by the city and his subsequent landing of the contract.
"I personally am very cognizant of a perceived conflict of interest, and I always think it's best to avoid even the perception of a conflict of interest or political favor," Shorett said. "Whether it is or isn't, the perception is there or could be there."
Bradbury declined to comment for this story.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by theogt, Mar 11, 2013.
Thought this was cool:
Superman has got to be the most boring of all the super heroes.
Dang, I saw the title and was thinking almost exactly the same thing.
Superman's writers have to really stretch to come up with any challenge for him, as he's been set up with next to no weaknesses, but overbearing strengths. If you go down the years you can see some of the guys in charge of the title try to come up with various plot tricks (kyrptonite, magic, etc).
His suit is goofy looking.
I like the old movies with Christopher Reeve.
Lois Lane is a brunette! Are these guys even trying?
That's one shiny suit!!
That's what I was thinking. Didn't notice that in the preview. Way too shiny in that pic.
Lana Lang is the brunette in this one. lol
The sheen looks to be the result of the person taking the picture with a phone -- or because they increased the brightness abnormally in photoshop. The cover, as released on the magazine's website, does not have as much sheen.
Superman is pretty far from a boring character -- we just have't seen a passable version of the character on screen for 30 years. Word from early screenings is that this movie has more action than any other comic book movie.
This movie looks like it'll be huge and bad***.
For those that haven't seen it, this is what Zod (played by Michael Shannon) will look like in the movie. Just a bit more menacing than the Terence Stamp version.
Can't say if the movie will be good, but Shannon is a great choice for Zod imo.
Shannon is a great choice for anything. Guy is a tremendous actor.
As for Superman, he's always been dull but I wonder if that doesn't change. I think a lot of people want to see him get in an epic battle with someone just as strong as he is, but more ruthless - which is why the Death of Superman Saga makes perfect sense... right up until there are 20 different Superman wannabe's.
It's like Ironman. You new the last fight wasn't gonna be him vs jets or tanks. It had to be what it was.
Spoiler's ahead: This movie has about 5 major action set pieces, in addition to smaller scenes of Superman/young Clark using his powers. One of which is Superman fighting Zod's robot army where he's shredding through them using his heat vision. I've been waiting for 30 years to see something like that. To be honest, I'm curious to see how they fit all that into a 2.5 hour movie.

In Their Words: A Great Big World
Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino make up the duo that is A Great Big World. The pair teamed up while they were both students at NYU, and they've been making music together ever since. Their brand of upbeat, hopeful pop sounds a little bit like Fun. at times, and a little bit like Broadway at other times, so it's no wonder that they got a huge break when their song, "This Is the New Year" was featured on an episode of Glee.
A Great Big World stopped by the iHeartRadio studios when they were in New York City recently, where they let us get to know Ian and Chad in their own, handwritten words.

Hello everyone, I'm quite new on back track and I'm having a problem with my wireless Asus WL-167g v2 USB. First when I tried to monitor I receive the following error :
ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Device or resource busy
ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211,
ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make
sure RFMON is enabled: run airmon-ng start wlan0 <#>
Sysfs injection support was not found either
But I managed to fix it.
However, when I'm monitoring using the USB on a VMware machine using Back track 4, it finds only WAP networks and not a single WEP network . I believe it might be some problem with the USB configuration because when I run back track 4 from de CD it finds all networks including wep encryption and allows me to complete the password hacking.
What should I do to find also networks using WEP on Back track 4 VMware machine? can anyone help me on this one?
Thanks a lot!!

Coffee Presses
French Press Coffee Makers
Often referred to as a "French Press," coffee presses combine ease of use with slow-brew quality, without the eco-terror of disposable filters. Using your press is simple: Start with freshly ground beans and grind them coarsely just before each brew. Add good quality, filtered water that's been heated to between 198 and 204 degrees Fahrenheit. The right temperature is essential to extract essential oils and to develop the fullest flavor from the coffee beans. Stir, then let the grounds steep in the the hot water for four minutes before pressing the plunger down to filter out the grounds. Pour and enjoy!

Breastfeeding Disapointment
Hello everyone. It has been a few months since I stopped breastfeeding, but I've often wondered if anyone else had the same issue or if it was a common thing that happens.
I breastfed my daughter form birth until about 3 months. She took to it right away without any difficulty, and for about the first 2 1/2 months, I was so full, and my let down was so heavy that I could only feed my daughter for a few minutes at a time and had to ensure that she was in an almost sitting position otherwise she would begin to choke from the heavy flow. Then, all of a sudden around 3 months, there was next to no milk for her and she would litterally scream for hours because she was starving. She would work herself up so much that I wouldn't be able to get her to latch on to my breast, or even take a bottle. she was fine in the mornings, due to milk buildup over night, but come late afternoon the screaming fits would begin. After a few weeks of this, I agve up and put her on formula. she's been fine ever since. I'm disapointed that I only had the chance to breastfeed for 3 months, but happy that I was able to for a little while anyway. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or if it's a common thing with breastfeeding mums.

It is actually common for your milk supply to regulate around 12 weeks. Women will usually feel less full and it is common for women to think they they have lost their milk supply. It does make me wonder if there was another reason why she was becoming so upset, as it may not have been due to your milk supply. My youngest had reflux, which would cause him to become quite upset and cry. Some babies also go through periods like that during the day when they cry and seem very irritable or fussy. At times, babies go through growth spurts when they seem to need more milk and want to breastfeed often.
Were there any other changes during that time that could have impacted your supply, such as your baby sleeping through the night or the return of your menstrual cycle?
I do think you should be proud that you breastfed for three months. With more information and help, you may have been able to breastfeed longer, so I wouldn't worry about it happening again with future children, if you do decide to have more. There are numerous reasons why your supply may have dropped or why your little one may have been having fussy periods during the day, but you should not feel guilty. I definitely understand feeling sad that you were unable to breastfeed longer, but you made the choice that was right for you (and your baby) at the time. I only breastfed one of my children for a few months, but there were problems that occurred with me and I had to start supplementing, which resulted in nipple confusion. I made the choice to switch to formula and I am sad that I did not breastfeed for longer, but I did learn from that experience and I had to make a choice that would be best for my baby (and myself) at the time.

I agree with everything Jessica has said. It is very common for milk supply to drop in the late afternoon/evening, and that happens to be the time of day that most babies are fussy.
There's a good thread in the forum which discusses how to increase milk supply. If you'd like to read it you'll probably learn some things that will benefit you with your next baby. I had a difficult time breastfeeding with my first baby, but after we got through it, I had no problem at all with all of the others.
And I had the same thing you did... a very forceful let-down. Baby would start choking on the milk, pull off, and then everything would get wet. I had to hold a cloth nappy or burp cloth nearby so I could cover up when she pulled off, to keep my milk from going everywhere.
I hope you have another little one and a very successful breastfeeding experience.
Warm regards,

Beware copyright infringers and file sharers! A new copyright alert system is being implemented by a wide range of national and local Internet service providers. The effects of being flagged in this system can be as minor as a pop-up or as extreme as termination of your service! Read on to find out what it is, why it's being implemented, what you can do if you're falsely accused and if this is a sign of things to come.
What is the Copyright Alert System?
The Copyright Alert System is a voluntary program that select Internet service providers (ISP) have agreed to participate in. It notifies them if a subscriber is suspected of sharing copyrighted content on peer-to-peer or file sharing programs illegally. The report that the ISP receives includes the offending material, who owns the copyright and the IP address the sharing came from. Since IP (Internet protocol) addresses are unique, and most every ISP keeps a log of which household has an assigned IP address, the report will be able to be associated with the household tied to that IP at the time.
The first few alerts are known as education alerts. These alerts notify you of the infringement, educate you on legal ways to purchase or rent copyrighted content and may ask you to agree that you've been notified before allowing you to continue web browsing. After the 5th or 6th alert, many ISP's implement what is called the mitigation phase.
The mitigation phase is where things begin to get more drastic. At this point, the ISP's have the option to temporarily reduce Internet browsing speeds, force the subscriber to call or speak to a representative before continuing, or to suspend services with the offending user.
Why is the Copyright Alert System being implemented?
The question of why the Copyright Alert System is being implemented isn't as easy to answer as you may imagine. The official reasons for the implementation include the dramatic rise in copyright infringement on file sharing services and programs and the belief that consumers are doing so without knowledge that the activity is illegal. The initial claim that copyright infringement is on the rise is definitely true. The popular HBO series Game of Thrones saw over 4.2 million illegal or unauthorized downloads.
The second contention, that subscribers are doing so without realizing that it is illegal, is less clear. While there is a portion of the population which honestly didn't know that downloading a copyrighted item from a torrent or file sharing site was illegal without the copyright owners permission, a larger group may be doing it for other reasons. Many popular shows such as Game of Thrones are only available by premium cable providers, and only then with a subscription to cable. The argument made by some downloading the material is that they are offered no reasonable, legal way to purchase or rent the content.
What can you do if you're falsely accused? And is this a sign of things to come?
The Copyright Alert System does not allow for you to appeal an educational notice, but does make provisions to appeal if you've entered the mitigation phrase (normally after 5-6 notices but as little as two). There are quite a few reasons you can appeal: if you believe your account was incorrectly identified, your account was used without your authorization, you had permission of the copyright holder or you believe the work is covered under fair-use laws or was made before 1923. The appeal is reviewed by an independent review panel. It must be requested within 14 days of a notification and there is a $35 filing fee.
The bigger question on many people's minds, including this writer, is if this is a sign of things to come. While I fully support and agree with protecting the rights of copyright holders, I worry about a system administered outside of the courts and the idea of ISP's becoming virtual policemen of the Internet. While the review process for appeals is done by a third-party independent organization, it is not done by a court of law where rules of evidence and legal procedure are followed.
If this new system's stated goal is purely to educate the inadvertent offenders and to warn the purposeful offenders to stop, it seems to do just that. We will have to wait and see what steps, if any, are done after this system is implemented and where down this slippery slope it leads us.
P.S. You can read more information about this alert system by going to the Center for Copyright Information's website by clicking here.

Suter Science Seminar - S100A1 and Heart Disease: From Molecular Characterization to Clinical Trials
When Friday January 25, 2013 @ 4:00 PM (1641 days ago)
Where Science Center, 104
Duration 1 hour
S100A1 and Heart Disease: From Molecular Characterization to Clinical Trials by Nathan Wright, PhD
S100A1 is a small, dimeric EF-hand containing protein that undergoes a large conformational change in the presence of calcium. This conformational change reveals a previously-hidden deep hydrophobic pocket, which allows S100A1 to bind to target proteins and influence their function. S100A1, highly expressed in muscle and cardiac cells, tightly binds to the calcium release channels in these cells and causes an increase in transient calcium release, leading to more vigorous muscle contraction. These findings have helped pave the way for S100A1 to be tested in phase I clinical trials as a treatment for cardiomyopathy.

Literacy is everywhere. It does not start and end at the school building, but encompasses a student's whole life.
College & Career Readiness
Preparing lifelong learners to contribute, compete and lead in today's global society.
Spring ISD has a rich history and an engaged community. Unfortunately, declines in student achievement over the past decade, combined with information uncovered in recent audits, clearly reveal the need for strategic change.Our five-year strategic plan – an aggressive and ambitious plan – will respond to that need. Every aspect of the plan is student centered – from human resources to community engagement to how we organize our bus routes. Our strategic plan is not about one area or one child. It is about every child and the impact we as a district can have on them, and that they in turn can have on our community.

Thanks to iceman_3233 for reporting this and to skinnypuppy for a fix.
When adding the volatility package the menu links do not respond.
So editing the menu and clicking on the "run in a terminal" box will fix it.

IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is the most common gastrointestinal disorder in the Western world, yet its cause remains unclear and consistently effective treatments are still being sought. A recent study shed a little more light on the mysteries of IBS, finding that a probiotic containing strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacter effectively reduced abdominal bloating and distension in people with the condition.
The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, included 60 adults with IBS. Only people with loose stools and diarrhea, not constipation, were chosen for the study. After monitoring their baseline symptoms for two weeks, they were assigned to take either a probiotic supplement or a placebo twice daily for eight weeks. The supplement provided 100 billion CFU (colony-forming units) of a combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus, strain NCFM, and Bifidobacter animalis, subspecies lactis Bi-07.
The findings were as follows:
"Our findings suggest that the combination of probiotic bacteria used in this study may be helpful in alleviating symptoms of bloating in patients with [IBS]," the study's authors said, adding, "In view of the high prevalence of bloating symptoms in patients with [IBS], their overall impact of patients' health and well-being, and the lack of effective treatment, this probiotic combination may be an important and useful addition to the management of patients with these symptoms."
In a healthy gut environment, beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacter species establish colonies that thrive, and a lack of such thriving colonies appears to be a contributing factor in IBS. Since the improvements seen in this study were lost after the end of treatment, it further appears that a problem in the gut environment might be to blame.
Below are some strategies to promote thriving colonies of healthy gut bacteria or otherwise improve the symptoms of IBS:

Who do you guys see taking this now???
If the line up stays as it is then I'd like to say I fancy Martin Stapleton to win it. If it doesn't then I know who'll win it
Very brave of the chap on the left with one arm to get in there and have a go. Also the center two who are clearly still defrosting.
All in all, amazing Photoshop work.

Post subject: *** 2012 NFL Mock Draft - 1 Round - Updated 4/25 ***
Round 1:
1. Indianapolis Colts - Andrew Luck, QB
The Colts announced this pick is official.
2. Washington Redskins
(From St. Louis)
- Robert Griffin III, QB
This pick is also a lock.
3. Minnesota Vikings - Matt Kalil, OT
I think ultimately the Vikings will go with Kalil here.
4. Cleveland Browns - Trent Richardson, RB
If the Browns decide to stay with McCoy for one more year, they need to give him playmakers to work with. Drafting Trent Richardson would definitely take some pressure off McCoy.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Morris Claiborne, CB
If Claiborne is on the board I think he's the pick. The wonderlic score means nothing.
6. St. Louis Rams
(From Washington)
- Fletcher Cox, DT
Fletcher Cox's stock is flying right now. The Rams need a DT so they could consider taking him.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars - Justin Blackmon, WR
The Jags #1 priority this offseason is getting Gabbert some weapons. They do that here with Blackmon. If he's on the board, I think Jacksonville takes him.
8. Miami Dolphins - Ryan Tannehill, QB
The Dolphins need a QB. They weren't able to get their hands on any of the FA's or players available for trade. I think they'll take Tannehill here if he's still on the board.
9. Carolina Panthers - Stephon Gilmore, CB
His stock is skyrocketing right now. Before the season he was projecting as a top 20 pick so it's not a complete surprise that he's shooting back up the boards.
10. Buffalo Bills - Michael Floyd, WR
The Bills don't have any WR options besides Stevie Johnson. If Floyd is available I think they may take him.
11. Kansas City Chiefs - David DeCastro, G
The Chiefs need offensive line help. The Chiefs might have their choice of a few players at this pick.
12. Seattle Seahawks - Melvin Ingram, DE/OLB
The Seahawks need help rushing the passer. They could consider addressing that issue with this pick.
13. Arizona Cardinals - Riley Reiff, OT
Offensive tackle is one of their biggest needs. If Reiff makes it to them, I think he's the pick.
14. Dallas Cowboys - Mark Barron, S
The Cowboys might look to upgrade their secondary. Barron will probably be drafted in this range.
15. Philadelphia Eagles - Michael Brockers, DT
The Eagles may be looking to replenish the interior of their defensive line. Brockers could do that for them.
16. New York Jets - Luke Kuechly, LB
The Jets are always looking to reload with defenders even if that means they take someone at a position they don't need as much as other positions.
17. Cincinnati Bengals - Cordy Glenn, G/T
Guard is one of the Bengals' biggest needs since they need two of them. They should probably consider taking Cordy Glenn their first first round pick since he probably won't make it to their second one.
18. San Diego Chargers - Chandler Jones, DE/OLB
The Chargers need help rushing the passer.
19. Chicago Bears - Quinton Coples, DE
I think Coples might fall a bit. The Bears might consider taking him if he makes it to them though.
20. Tennessee Titans - Dre Kirkpatrick, CB
The Titans just lost Cortland Finnegan to the Rams in FA. Plus you can never have too many talented corners.
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Stephen Hill, WR
The Bengals just lost Jerome Simpson to FA. Other than AJ Green, they don't have any good receiving options. Since they have two first round picks, they can afford to take a player at a position of lesser need.
22. Cleveland Browns
(From Atlanta)
- Jonathan Martin, OT
The Browns need help at RT. Martin would pair nicely with Joe Thomas. The Browns also need help at WR, but they may like Martin more than Kendall Wright.
23. Detroit Lions - Dont'a Hightower, LB
The Lions always seem to surprise on draft day. They never take players based on their needs, instead they sit at their pick and take the BPA. They could do that again this year.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers - Amini Silatolu, G/T
I've had Dont'a Hightower here for months. But in this mock, he's not available. The Steelers need help on the offensive line. Silatolu has flown into the first round.
25. Denver Broncos - Kendall Wright, WR
The Broncos need to provide Peyton with receiving options other than Thomas.
26. Houston Texans - Alshon Jeffery, WR
The Texans have literally no other good receiving options than Andre Johnson. This was apparent when Johnson was out for all those games. If they want to help Arian Foster by taking some pressure off the running game, they will need to get another WR.
27. New England Patriots
(From New Orleans)
- Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB
The Patriots need help on defense. They have to address the defensive side of the ball in this draft.
28. Green Bay Packers - Shea McClellin, DE/OLB
The Packers don't have too many needs but they could use a rush linebacker to play opposite of Clay Matthews.
29. Baltimore Ravens - Peter Konz, C
I think the Ravens will take Peter Konz if he's available.
30. San Francisco 49ers - Coby Fleener, TE
The 49ers don't have a lot of needs so they can afford to take a luxury pick like Fleener.
31. New England Patriots - Harrison Smith, S
The Patriots never do what anyone expects them to do. Most likely they'll trade this pick to a team looking to jump up to grab someone at the end of round 1 for a first rounder next year. If they stay here they could and should take a defensive player. Their defense was atrocious last year.
32. New York Giants - Doug Martin, RB
The Giants usually just stay at their pick and take the best player available to them. That might be Martin in this case.

Don't like Glenn in this draft anymore and Hill isn't worth that high of a pick to me. Give us Coples and Wright/Martin.

You don't think Hill is worth #21 but you think Wright is? And Coples worthy of #17? I'd beg to differ.
Best scenario would be Kirkpatrick and Hill there, though this is a very unideal board for us. Coples will not be the pick, and I can all but garauntee we won't take Glenn at #17.

Wingate Sweeps SeriesMarch 30, 2013

By Judyrae Kruse Herald Columnist
Judyrae Kruse is taking some time off. Here is an encore column from May 2005.
You have to figure that if it's the fifth of May for we Norteamericanos, then it's bound to be Cinco de Mayo for those folks of Mexican heritage.
Cause to celebrate?
In that case, Camano Island cook JoBee has a timely recipe to share.
"The origin of the original recipe is unknown," she writes, "but it may have been one of the original 'war-time' meals printed in the 1945 'Frito Recipe Book.'
"This stovetop meal is a family favorite that satisfied that urge to dine on great Mexican food, but with less fat and calories."
JoBee adds, "I called Frito-Lay in Plano, Texas, to try to find the origin of the above recipe that my mother routinely served to our family in the 1950s. No luck.
"Their online history states that they have been sharing recipes with consumers since the invention of the Frito in 1939, when the Frito Co. launched its first recipe book.
"In 1945, the Frito Co. offered a 'big recipe book for hundreds of ways to vary your war-time meals.'
"I am not sure if there is a connection of my recipe to their cookbook or not, but it makes a good story. …
"My recipe for Western sombreros or a similar variation is not in their current recipe collection online — most skillet recipes now have salsa and taco sauce and a lot more calories than my recipe, but readers may want to know that there are lots of recipes to look at on their site."
The site JoBee is talking about is www.fritolay.com; click on "meal planning." Right now, though, here's her recipe for:
Western sombreros
1/2cup chopped celery
1/4cup chopped onion
1/4cup chopped green pepper
1pound ground beef
2tablespoons butter
1teaspoon salt
Few hot red pepper flakes or dash liquid hot-pepper seasoning
1/4teaspoon black pepper
1teaspoon chili powder
1can (about 141/2ounces) diced tomatoes with liquid
1can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1package original Frito corn chips
1cup grated cheddar cheese
2cups shredded lettuce
In skillet, saute celery, onion, green pepper and ground beef in butter. Add salt, pepper flakes or pepper seasoning, black pepper, chili powder, tomatoes and tomato sauce; mix thoroughly, cover and simmer 1 hour.
To serve, ladle mixture over corn chips and sprinkle evenly with cheese and lettuce.
The next Forum will appear in Wednesday's Food section.

Just curious, from a newbie's perspective, of how the inclusion of the GPL'd stuff w/ the BSD-licensed stuff will work, long-term. Cheers!

Blake wore Rag & Bone color block leggings (arond $258), Burberry orchard handbag ($1975), Rupert Sanderson boots ($1200+), a pricey burn out top and two-tone flyaway cardi.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Debt collectors have ruined the credit reputations of thousands of people over debts they never owed or already paid according to consumer complaints filed with federal and state agencies, an Ohio newspaper reported Sunday
Some debt collectors have forced consumers into paying debts that are erroneous or fraudulent, The Columbus Dispatch (bit.ly/UumetY) reported as part of an ongoing investigation into the nation's credit-reporting system and the lack of federal regulation over it.
The newspaper looked at more than 22,500 complaints filed with the Federal Trade Commission since January 2009. They were filed by people who said they had a problem one of the nation's three largest credit-reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. About 6 percent said their complaint involved a debt in collection, the newspaper said.
Nearly 10 percent of the complaints -- 11,400 since 2009 -- made with the Ohio Attorney General's office over debt collectors involved a collection account reported to a credit bureau.
Government regulators, watchdogs and consumer advocates have called for changes to the federal law that governs debt collection and allows debt collected almost unregulated access to credit reports.
"They don't abide by any rules," said Richard Rubin, a consumer-law attorney in New Mexico and an expert on the federal law. "Their job is to squeeze money out of people, and their business model is to go as close to the edge as they can. And they do it with the complicity of the credit bureaus."
The FTC and the Government Accountability Office want Congress to create more safeguards, including requiring debt collectors to have proof of all debts.
When debt-collection companies take over delinquent debts, the original creditor gives them consumers' names, contact information and how much they owe. Sometimes the information is wrong, but debt collectors still report consumers to the credit bureaus, the newspaper said.
Debt collectors maintain that such instances are rare and the fault of the original creditors.
"We are completely reliable on the validity of the information we are provided," said Mark Schiffman, spokesman for the industry trade group, ACA International, based in Minneapolis. "We've advocated that creditors hold onto original information longer."
The debt-collection industry says less than 0.002 percent of the 4 million consumers it contacts each year file formal complaints, according to the industry. "Our members take a great deal of time talking to consumers. They are serving as counselors," Schiffman said.
The Consumer Data Industry Association, which represents the three big national credit-reporting agencies, said a 2011 study funded by the industry found that their information is more than 99 percent accurate. "The statements being made about collection items in a credit report don't ring true," said Norm Magnuson, the group's vice president of public affairs.
FTC officials told Congress two years ago that the number of complaints against debt collectors may be understated. Complaints about debt collectors to the agency have increased 73 percent since 2008.
Linda Reed, of the Cleveland suburb of Garfield Heights, said a debt collector damaged her credit history with a $65 collection account for Barbie and Sesame Street DVDs that she never bought.
"I told them, 'My children are 20, 28 and 24.' But it is still showing up on my credit report," she said.

I'm getting one
I am waiting for the iPad Mini with retina display.
Isn't the current phone sporting an A6? This iPad will be an A7 they predict... I guess your right though, if the 5s gets bumped up to the A7 too then they will both use the same processor... That is a lil lame...
I have waited to purchase a iPad since they debuted... Hopefully this will be the one release that really moves me to get it... Hope they will offer more than 128 gigs... That's my only issue with the iPads all this time was the low storage capacity and the inability to add more or easily use a hard drive...
Why is that lame? It'll probably have an A7X chip just like the A6X and A5X before it. So you honestly expect them to make a much better and completely different processor just for the iPad? Instead just improve the one you have slightly to suit the needs of a tablet and it works. Makes complete sense to me. I've seen many android phones and tablets who share the same processors. What's the difference?
One thing you ever failed to mention was price point. Also there is no point in a 8mp shooter on a tablet. If you are looking speck hungry tablets then by all means buy an android tablet. The iPads are some of the smoothest running tablets out there even with lower specs. I think apple is doing just fine. If you don't like it, then it's just not for you.
Not one windows 7 phone will run windows 8. 80% of android phones won't run ice cream sandwich!
So tell me again about this planned obsolescence which you speak of?
(Oh, and your iPad will still run iOS 6)
But you must be joking about windows and android!!
You must not have read my post.
NO Windows phones made prior to WP8 will run WP8. ONLY HIGH END Android devices such as the Galaxy 3 will run the latest android. They have specific hardware requirements that previous devices won't meet.
I will give you the thing with Windows 8 being able to run on old computers.
But if you really want to talk about obsolescence, wether planned or not for MOBILE devices, apple isn't even in the top 3.
