Pierre Hermé's Book-Filled Paris Apartment
We're huge fans of Parisian pastry chef Pierre Hermé's incredible macarons and have even stood in line to get a taste. So we were excited to see that The Selby got a peek inside Hermé's Paris apartment. The apartment has the great bones typical of Parisian apartments —a gorgeous fireplace, the chevron patterned floors, and huge windows. Hermé's decorating tastes seem to lean towards modern clean lines, and he uses an AT favorite to warm the space up — books!
Hermé has filled the shelves with books, there are books in the kitchen, and there are stacks of books on the table. He's done a great job of accessorizing the shelves — they're not too full and he's sprinkled in objet d'art to give the shelves some visual interest.
Want to see more? There's a lot more photos on The Selby.

Everyone should read the opposition press, not just to keep tabs on what the opposition is thinking and saying, but also because it is possible to learn from error. In the old days I read The Nation chiefly for Christopher Hitchens' literary criticism, which was always the best offering of the magazine. If I wanted to sample the latest in Communist apologetics, Victor Navasky had no peer. In more recent years whenever I've been curious about what my old-age dementia might look like, I reach for the latest ravings of the heiress Katrina vanden Huevel.
The current issue of The Nation offers a whole new achievement: massively ironic satire in the guise of political analysis from William Greider. Greider is an old fossil of the Left—his long-time conspiratorial ravings about the Federal Reserve make Ron Paul look sober and cautious—and no doubt he is desperate for a revival of summer socialist camp hootenannies. And so he thinks the Occupy movement is the bee's knees:
In Occupy Wall Street, we are witnessing a rare event—the birth of a social movement. Ordinary people are engaging in sustained grassroots protest against the political order and against citizens' exclusion from the decision-making that governs their lives. They seek to rearrange the distribution of power, and they are doing so by injecting a creative, often playful vitality that has been missing in our decayed democracy. The protesters have slipped around the soul-deadening, high-gloss marketing of mass-communication culture. Instead, they insist that politics starts with citizens talking to one another and listening—agreeing and disagreeing with mutual respect. The open-door, nonhierarchical membership commits people to engage in what historian Lawrence Goodwyn calls "democratic conversation."
The whole article is a comic masterpiece, and I highly recommend it. How long before Greider or someone turns it into a Broadway musical? Springtime for Occupy. . .

I keep looking at these, and they seem like a good option for the 20v I5 (before y'all say EFR or GT, I'd rather spend the extra money on rods and gaskets and such.

It looks kind of like this could be made to fit a modified K26 exhaust housing, but I'm not totally sure. Anyone have any experience with this? Just looking at other budget options besides getting a 71mm wheel for my k24 7400. I had read somewhere (here, I think) that the k24 7400 shaft is too small to handle the loads at high boost for long periods. I'm running my 7400 to the limit of what it will flow, and my car is starting to feel slow again... (boost really IS like crack)
I haven't found a k26 style housing for the s200, hoping to avoid having to change manifolds.

"For the second consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report names Emmanuel College as tier one among private colleges and again ranks EC as a Best Regional College (South)," President Michael Stewart announces.
"Last year was the first time in our history to be ranked tier one, which is the highest level of achievement. This year we are also pleased to move ahead 12 ranks to up to 57th place in the 2014 rankings," he adds.
This is exciting and encouraging news as Emmanuel College remains focused on its mission as a Christ-centered college to integrate faith, learning and living for effective careers, scholarship and service. This is also the second straight year total enrollment is above 800 students for this growing institution.
"We are honored and continue to be grateful for the commitment and dedication of all our employees and board members who have made this possible. We also appreciate our talented students, who do well here and go on to successful, meaningful careers after graduation," he says.
These rankings are considered to provide the most indepth and complete rankings in higher education. They are based on evaluations of the top accredited four-year schools in the country and focus almost entirely on the undergraduate experience in a broad range of programs in the liberal arts fields.

Ernest Dominates 200 Armory Invitational
Associate SID
NEW YORK - Sophomore sprint star Aaron Ernest solidified his reputation as a national championship contender in the 200-meter dash as he remained undefeated this season with a dominating victory in Saturday's finale at the 13th-annual Armory Collegiate Invitational at the New Balance Track & Field Center at The Armory.
Ernest became LSU's fifth event champion for the weekend as he joined a quartet of seniors Laura Carleton (3,000 meters), Kimberlyn Duncan (60 meters), Damar Forbes (long jump) and Charlene Lipsey (1,000 meters) on the winner's podium with his performance.
Friday's victories by the likes of Carleton, Duncan and Lipsey propelled the No. 5-ranked Lady Tigers to the women's team championship with 73 points at this year's Armory Collegiate Invitational. It is the sixth time in the meet's 13-year history and the first time since 2008 that the Lady Tigers have taken home the team title.
The Lady Tigers outlasted Clemson (69) in second place, Kansas (57.5) in third place and South Carolina (48) in fourth place in the final women's team standings.
LSU Track & Field has now won 10 team titles all-time at the Armory Collegiate Invitational as the Tigers last captured the men's crown in 2011 for their fourth win in 13 seasons.
The Tigers scored 53.5 points in two days of action at The Armory to finish as the men's team runner-up for the second-straight season. The Texas A&M Aggies finished 8.5 points clear of the Tigers to win the men's team title with 62 points for the meet. Clemson followed in third place with 48 points, while Tennessee scored 46 points to finish in fourth place.
"I think both our teams made a great showing here this weekend. I'm very proud with how we competed more than anything," said LSU head coach Dennis Shaver. "We did some great things that I know will put our teams in a position to succeed at the NCAA meet. We took another big step as a team this weekend."
Ernest continued his dominance of the 200-meter sprint and remained undefeated for the 2013 season while turning in one of the all-time great performances in the history of The Armory.
After qualifying with the fastest time of the preliminary round at 21.14 to win the first heat, Ernest lined up in lane No. 5 in the third of three sections in the men's championship final with Illinois' Brandon Stryganek in lane No. 3 and Maryland-Eastern Shore's Andre Walsh in lane No. 4 to his inside and Texas A&M's Prezel Hardy, Jr. in lane No. 6 on his outside shoulder.
With the crack of the starter's pistol, Ernest was off as he made up the stagger on Hardy, Jr. down the backstretch and gained the advantage at 100 meters. The Tiger star then pulled away from the Aggie All-American around the final turn and sprinted to the finish line with a winning time of 20.83 that drew a resounding cheer from the crowd . Ernest tied for the third-fastest 200 meters ever run in the 13-year history of the Armory Collegiate Invitational as he finished four-tenths of a second ahead of Hardy, Jr.'s 21.23 for second place.
Walsh finished third in the heat and fourth overall at 21.38, while Stryganek clocked 21.43 for fourth in the race. Clemson's Tevin Hester took third place overall after taking the second heat in 21.25.
Ernest remains the NCAA's No. 3-ranked 200-meter sprinter for 2013 with his indoor best of 20.79 in a victory at the Texas A&M Triangular on Jan. 19. While he still trails Hardy, Jr.'s 20.78 for the No. 2 spot in the national rankings this season, Ernest holds a 2-0 advantage in head-to-head competition with the Aggie star.
With his performance, Ernest becomes the third LSU Tiger to win the 200-meter title at the Armory Collegiate Invitational as he joins former Tiger stars Xavier Carter (2005) and Melville Rogers (2007).
Ernest certainly remembers the first time he stepped on the 200-meter oval at The Armory when he ran 22.13 in the qualifying heats as a freshman a year ago.
"I ran 22 something on this same track last year, so I'm really excited to come back here and show what I do in a competition like this, Ernest said. "It's not easy to run the 200 on this track. I'm excited that I was able to run that well. I felt really good running the prelim, so I knew I would come back and run pretty fast in the final.
"There are always great sprinters in this meet. To be one of the fastest ever to run here means a lot, but I wanted to win it today."
Ernest continues his momentum from a breakout freshman season outdoors in 2012 when he captured an impressive three All-America honors in his debut at the NCAA Outdoor Championships before a haul of three medals for the United States at the IAAF World Junior Championships last summer. He was the silver medalist in both the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes at World Juniors last year and the anchor leg for the gold-medal-winning 4x100-meter relay for the United States.
"I didn't have the confidence running indoors last year like I do right now," Ernest said. "Doing what I did during the outdoor season last year has really helped me this year. I know I've got what it takes to compete indoors just like I do outdoors. It's been a great season so far, and I want to keep it going each week."
Two other Tigers added to LSU's point total as sophomore Quincy Downing and freshman Darrell Bush enjoyed indoor personal-best performances in Saturday's finale.
Downing was the first to step onto the track as he scored five points with a fourth-place finish in the men's championship 800 meters while running an indoor PR of 1 minute, 50.96 seconds. Downing's PR outdoors is 1:50.68 set during his freshman season a year ago. Bush, who has run an outdoor best of 46.95 in the 400 meters, ran his third indoor PR in as many races this season with a run of 47.26 to earn fifth place in Friday's championship final. Bush ran a previous best of 47.37 in Friday's qualifying round.
The Lady Tigers scored the majority of their points in the field events during Saturday's finale, including a combined 18 points between the triple jump and weight throw.
Junior Denise Hinton led the way as she continued the momentum from a record-setting Friday night for the Lady Tigers by matching her own school record in a second-place finish in the weight throw. A series-best mark of 69 feet, 9 ¾ inches locked up a runner-up finish for the Peachtree City, Ga., native as she trailed only event champion Alena Krechyk of Kansas (71-4 ¾) in the standings. Hinton moved into the No. 6 spot in the NCAA rankings with her performance while equaling her school record set at the LSU NCAA Indoor Qualifier a year ago.
Hinton wasn't the only Lady Tiger to set a seasonal-best in the weight throw final as fellow junior Karen Henning threw 60-7 ¾ for seventh place. Henning owns a personal best of 60-10 in the event.
The Lady Tigers added eight points with a strong showing in the championship triple jump as junior Keri Emanuel jumped a series-best 41-8 ½ for third place and junior Lynnika Pitts posted a new seasonal best of 40-10 ½ for seventh place in the competition. Emanuel already ranks No. 4 in the NCAA with a best of 42-8 ¾ this season.
LSU's women clinched their team championship with a third-place finish in the 4x400-meter relay with senior Siedda Herbert, senior Charlene Lipsey, junior Nikita Tracey and sophomore Montenae Roye-Speight running 3 minutes, 38.65 seconds for second place in the third heat. Arkansas won the relay in 3:35.20, while Clemson followed second place at 3:38.06 to win the second heat.
The Tigers earned a runner-up finish in the men's 4x400 relay as freshman Cyril Grayson, Downing, senior Caleb Williams and Bush ran 3:10.68 for second place behind Texas A&M's 3:09.62.
Other LSU athletes setting indoor personal bests on Saturday afternoon were sophomore Philip Primeaux (8:38.37) in the 3,000 meters and freshman Fitzroy Dunkley (48-8 ¼) in a second-place finish with the men's college triple jump.
"I thought our athletes performed very well across all of the event areas this weekend," Shaver said. "We talk so much with our athletes about the importance of taking advantage of each opportunity to compete. It's not always about how fast you run or how far you might jump or throw. It's about how hard you compete when given the chance. We saw a lot of that here this weekend."
The Tigers and Lady Tigers will now head back to the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Ark., next weekend to compete in the Tyson Invitational being held Feb. 8-9. The University of Arkansas will also play host to the SEC Indoor Championships on Feb. 22-24 and the NCAA Indoor Championships on March 8-9.

What is laughter yoga
Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise routine which is fast sweeping the world and is a complete wellbeing workout. It is the brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, an Indian physician from Mumbai who started the first laughter club in a park on 13th March 1995, with just 5 people. Today, it has become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 6000 social laughter clubs in 65 countries.
Laughter Yoga combines unconditional laughter with yogic breathing (Pranayama).Anyone can laugh for no reason, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group but with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter.
The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits.
This innovative concept has been widely accepted all over the world and has been written about in prestigious publications like TIME Magazine, National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Daily Telegraph (UK) and many others. Laughter clubs were also featured on Oprah Winfrey Show, BBC, CNN, ZDF (Germany) NHK (Japan), ABC news (USA) and many other TV networks in the world.
Why Laughter Yoga - 3 Reasons:
1. In order to get the scientifically proven health benefits of laughter, we need to laugh continuously for at least for 10 to 15 minutes. Since in Laughter Yoga we do laughter as an exercise, we can prolong our laughter as long as we want. On the other hand, natural laughter comes for just a few seconds here and there and is not enough to bring about physiological and biochemical changes in our body.
2. To reap the health benefits of laughter, laughter has to be loud and deep coming from the diaphragm. It should be a belly laugh. It might not be socially acceptable to laugh loudly, but Laughter Yoga clubs provide a safe environment where one can laugh loudly and heartily without any social implication.
3. Natural laughter that courses through our life depends upon many reasons and conditions, but there are not many reasons which make us laugh. That means we are leaving laughter to chance, it may happen it may not. In contrast, in Laughter Yoga club we are not leaving laughter to chance, but doing it out of commitment. This is a guaranteed way of getting the health benefits of laughter.
Laughter Clubs Free for All:
Laughter Yoga clubs are social clubs, free for all. There is no membership fee, no forms and no fuss. They are run by volunteers trained as laughter teachers and leaders. These clubs are non-political, non-religious and non-profit run under the aegis of Laughter Clubs International in India and Laughter Yoga International in the rest of the world.
Mission - World Peace:
The ultimate objective is to bring good health, joy and world peace through laughter. Laughter is a universal with no language and cultural barriers. Laughter Yoga clubs are fast developing into a worldwide community of like-minded people who believe in unconditional love, laughter and fellowship. Every first Sunday of May is celebrated as World Laughter Day. In the year 2000, nearly 10,000 people laughed together in Copenhagen Denmark to create a Guinness book of records.
Life Changing Experience:
In India there are thousands of Laughter Yoga clubs that meet every morning in public parks. Club members proudly report that they haven't missed a day in five years or more. They say it makes them happy, healthy and energized - in effect, it has changed their lives.
They are full of positive energy that makes it easy to cope with stress and impossible to be depressed. In fact, the impact of laughter is so profound that many practitioners claim they no longer need anti depressants. The sustained positive emotions keep them coming back for more.
Participants report significant health improvements. Many felt a reduced frequency of respiratory infections like common cold and flu, while others reported depression lifting, chronic medical problems improving or even disappearing. As the word spread, it was obvious that Laughter Yoga was helping people to become healthier.
Scientifically Proven:
Clinical research on Laughter Yoga methods conducted at the University of Graz in Austria, Bangalore (India) as well as in the United States has shown that laughter lowers the level of stress hormones (epinephrine, cortisol, etc) in the blood. It fosters a positive and hopeful attitude. One is less likely to succumb to stress and feelings of depression and helplessness if one is able to laugh away the troubles.

Tech Awarded $750,000 for Improved Drilling, Aug. 22, 2001
(202) 224-7073
Study to Explore More Productive and Environmentally Sound Drilling Methods
WASHINGTON, D.C., AUGUST 22, 2001 -- U.S. Senator Pete Domenici today reported that the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology has been awarded a $750,000 grant by the Department of Energy to evaluate ways to boost the productivity of oil exploration and production operations on Alaska's North Slope in a more environmentally sound manner.
Domenici said the grant to the New Mexico Petroleum Recovery Research Center at New Mexico Tech will fund a study on how synthetic-oil-based muds change the properties of rock cores extracted from Arctic reservoirs. The university will contribute another $360,400 to the three-year project.
"I am pleased New Mexico Tech will have a hand in developing and testing advanced technologies to improve oil production in the extreme climatic conditions, remote locations, and heightened environmental sensitivity of the Arctic," Domenici said. "This is important work with the goal of making our oil production more efficient and environmentally responsible."
On the North Slope, drillers must use specially formulated synthetic-oil-based muds, rather than water-based muds, both for environmental reasons and to function properly in the Arctic climate. The synthetic muds, however, can change the properties of the core samples which geologists extract and analyze to determine the best way to extract oil from the reservoir. The study at New Mexico Tech will explore ways to restore the original properties of the reservoir rock cores or to develop synthetic muds that do not have detrimental effects on the cores.
Domenici, ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, also serves as ranking member of the Senate Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee that sets funding levels for the Department of Energy.

I recently purchased an ASUS N56VZ-ES71 laptop which came with Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it. I wish to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 on it. I shrank the hard drive partitions to leave about 150 GB unallocated for Ubuntu 12.04. When I boot the Live CD of Ubuntu and attempt to install, the installer does not recognize any other operating systems. Through reading a few questions, I have found that this is due to a GPT partitioning table that Windows uses.
I ran boot-repair as per other threads' suggestions. This was my output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176988/
I suppose my question is: how do I proceed in order to get the installer to recognize Windows, so that I don't have to erase the current partition table and can get a safe install?
Thanks in advance.

That's a horrible name for it, no flow at all. "Blogola" sounds better, but it loses the derivation of the term. It could just be left as "payola", but today's buzzword/catchphrase world would desperately want to have "blog" in there somewhere.
I preferred "blogola," because it does flow better. There are other examples of coinages that misuse the root term. Consider the way the "-0holic" ending of "alcoholic" is used in words like "workaholic" and "chocoholic." Really, only the "-ic" should be needed, as that's all that's been added to "alcohol" to produce "alcoholic." The problem is that "-ic" won't be recognized for what it's supposed to be unless more of "alcoholic" is brought along. It just doesn't work to say "workic" and "chocolatic." The "Watergate" ending "-gate" is a similar example. Nothing about "-gate" meant scandal in the original word, but it's a distinctive ending, and we know what it means. I think "-ola" is like that. The loss of "pay-" might seem wrong, because that was where the original meaning was, but I think we need a suffix, not a prefix, and somehow "-ola" has come to signify the corruptness of under-the-table payments.
Anyway, it was interesting to go back to that December 20th post of mine, which predicts something that came true awfully quickly:
[D]oesn't it seem inevitable that there will be a blogger payola scandal at some point? We bloggers build up our credibility with readers over the months and years of writing. You assume if a blogger you trust says that a TV show or a movie or a book is good it's because he thinks so for purely independent and un-self-interested reasons unless he says otherwise. I don't think free review copies of things undermine this independence. MSM reviewers get free copies of the CDs, DVDs, and books they write about. A blogger has such a strong interest in maintaining credibility that he's likely to make a point of saying he's received a free copy.(By the way, it was also one of my emailers who offered the term "tire-blogging." I think it's apt that traffic came to the blog because of tires.)
But don't you think the day will come when we will hear that a trusted, seemingly independent blogger is being paid to express an opinion about a product or even a politician or important policy? Will we be horrified? Will we just stop caring what the blogger has to say? Or will we accept it, the way we accepted it when we found out about paid product placements in movies? I made my local car dealer look quite posh in this post, just because I had nothing better to do than observe my immediate surroundings (and also because I wanted to get in on the big new tire-blogging craze). But what if it were the case -- it's not! -- and you found out, that Zimbrick gives me free oil changes in exchange for disguised ads? Small potatoes, you might think. Who cares? Imagine something bigger then: a high-traffic blogger paid big bucks to back the privatization of Social Security.
Is the blogger's interest in his own credibility much of a safeguard? You might think that all a blogger has is his credibility, and anyone who's built up his traffic to the point where someone wants to buy his influence won't want to squander his credibility. But people cave in to temptation all the time when things they care a lot about are at risk, and bloggers are especially vulnerable. For one thing, the blogger -- writing without pay -- is more likely to need the money and to feel frustrated about having done so much work without getting paid. Add to this the fact that writing multiple posts day after day can burn a person out. A blogger might be thinking: look at all of this work, but how can I walk away from all of this traffic? One strategy for ending one's grueling blog project might be to sell it off, by taking money during the next campaign season. If the blogger is discovered looting his blog's credibility: well, he needed to quit anyway.
I tend to think advertising is the best safeguard against blogola. It is the high traffic blogger who is able to make the most money with advertising. Back when Kos took the money from the Dean campaign, what was the ad revenue? If, back then, Kos had had the ad money he has now, the importance of maintaining his independence and high standards would have overshadowed the money the Dean campaign was offering, which would have looked like a piddling amount.
UPDATE: An emailer writes: "Regarding suffixes a la "-holic" and "-gate" and "-ola," an earlier example is 'burger,' from Hamburger, which was originally a kind of sausage patty from Hamburg."
ANOTHER UPDATE: Another emailer writes: "I am reminded of Homer Simpson, who, as a rageoholic, stated, 'I'm addicted to rageohol!'"

The family-owned pharmacy, at 7824 Girard Ave., announced recently it would be shuttering for good May 31 due to owner Wayne Woods' pending retirement and declining business following the 2008 recession.
April 15 was the last day of operation for the pharmacy, which will be transferring its business — and some of its employees — to CVS Pharmacy, at 7525 Eads Ave. The rest of the store will remain open to sell off inventory.
"It's a huge loss for our community, another end of an era," said Tim Lucas, president of La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) at the group's April meeting.
Noting Burns has been far more than just another business, Lucas added, "It's been a huge institution, a great place in our community that started in 1952 and was so important to a lot of us, not only for getting our prescriptions filled but for (medical) advice and other things."
A colleague of Lucas' on LJSA, Janie Emerson, said it will be impossible to replace the homespun store's "personal" touch, citing her own example.
"My husband had an emergency appendectomy last summer, and he got an abscess (the doctors didn't pay any attention), and if it hadn't have been for Wayne (Woods) and one of the other pharmacists working with me … I don't think he would have made it. It's a huge loss to the community. No other pharmacy would have done what we needed last summer. I feel like people are ripping pieces of La Jolla out of me by inches. It's so sad."
Claude-Anthony Marengo, president of La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), the community's Business Improvement District (BID) concurred that news of Burns demise was "very sad for all of us."
Marengo recalled that Burns and nearby Rexall pharmacies were part of his and others' childhoods. "We'd get candy in one, and as soon as we got kicked out, we went to the other one. Then later, we would go down to Children's Pool (for a swim)," he said.
"For a long time Burns was a part of the fabric of La Jolla," Marengo said. "We're going to miss that."
Cindy Greatrex, immediate past president of La Jolla Town Council, agreed that Burns was like family and, once gone, can never be replaced.
"Burns Drugs was a true classic with every trace of local character," she said, adding that the pharmacy was "personality-driven and always kind and caring to residents and visitors alike."
She said she'll always remember the pharmacy for how its presence "flavored" the town, recalling, "It was a welcome respite on a warm day of strolling the Village, especially for pet owners, who always received such a kind welcome and a little treat. We will miss our long-term staff friends at Burns and hope to see them again."
Diver and longtime La Jollan Bill Robbins said Burns was especially good with seniors.
"When my mother retired, they gook great care of her prescriptions," he said. "It even got to the point where Burns would know when she needed a refill (they kept such good records) and faithfully deliver them to her. There's simply no way any other pharmacy would have taken care of it like that."
Robbins also expressed concern for the future welfare of Burns' staff of more than 30 workers, some of whom are seniors working part-time.

Take it as evidence that I'm a bad Jew, if you must, but the rumors are true; I had never made latkes before. Picture thin shreds of white potato that have sopped up gallons of oil and yet remain pale and flaccid, to be served with dairy-rich sour cream or overly sweetened apple sauce- Can you blame my resistance? Admittedly, the latkes my parents painstakingly make every year are never like this, but out of laziness and sheer stubbornness, I refused to remove my blinders and give them a chance. Despite the connection I felt to the ritual of their preparation, I found myself unmoved, year after year. Working as a tag team, my mom in the kitchen working with the raw ingredients, my dad out back doing flame-control, the smell of smoke and canola oil permeating the air, it's this tradition that epitomizes the Hannukah experience to me. That's why we're unofficially pushing back the date of celebration, so that my dad can be home to fry them like usual. Whether that means standing outside at the grill in the snow, rain, or just freezing cold, it doesn't matter. He knows that the hungry hordes need their crispy, golden brown latkes, and there's no way on earth we're deep frying that much potato matter inside the house.
And there starts my prejudice; Anything that requires cooking outside of the kitchen must be too much of a hassle. What with all the holiday cookies to bake, why waste time making boring old potato pancakes anyway? Deep fried food doesn't disagree with me per say, but it loses quite a few brownie points if I'm the one doing the frying. Who wants third degree burns as a holiday parting gift? That's why, with the actual Hannukah week free and clear, I stuck to what I know best and fired up the oven, set on breaking my latke-less streak at last.
Notice, these are baked latkes, not fat-free; They still need ample lubrication to prevent sticking and tearing. Most notable, however, is not the method by which these nouveau potato pancakes are cooked, but the subtle flavors I chose to wake up these potentially snooze-worthy staples. Taking inspiration from Chinese scallion pancakes, short ribbons of green onion are woven amongst the strands of potato, punctuated by the gentle warmth of ginger. Sure, purists may turn up their noses, but these nontraditional spud bundles have made me a convert. Latkes can be a beautiful (and yes, delicious) thing, when treated with a little extra love and attention. And yes, please, go ahead and fry them if you prefer. Just keep that vat of hot oil far away from me.
Baked Scallion-Ginger Latkes
1 1/2 Pounds White or Gold Potatoes
2 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Generous Bundle Scallions (about a dozen), Cut into 1-Inch Pieces
1 Tablespoon Minched Fresh Parsley
1 1/2 Tablespoons Finely Minced Fresh Ginger
1/4 Cup Garbanzo Flour
1 Tablespoon Flax Seeds, Ground
1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
2 – 4 Tablespoons Canola Oil
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, and use 1 or 2 tablespoons of the canola oil to generously grease a baking sheet. Don't be shy; you need to really smear it on so that nothing stick later.
Peel and grate the potatoes, placing them in a colander in the sink or set over a large bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and salt, to prevent browning and extract some of the water, and let sit for 5 – 10 minutes. Squeeze the potato shreds with your hands to extract the excess water. Don't be shy, really wring those spuds out, because too much water now will mean less crispy latkes later. Transfer the significantly drier potatoes into a [dry] large bowl.
Cut the scallions into one-inch lengths, and add to the potato. If your scallions are on the chunkier side, slice them in halves or quarters first. Add in the parsley, ginger, flour, ground flax, and pepper, and toss to combine.
Scoop out about 1/4 cup of potato mixture for each latke, and use your hands to really press it all together. Place each latke on the prepared sheet fairly close together since they don't spread. Flatten each mound down as thin as possible to get crispier results. Brush the tops of the pancakes with 1 – 2 tablespoons of oil, and again, don't be skimpy about it. Side your sheet of latkes into the oven, and bake for 20 minutes. At that point, flip them all over, and bake for another 15 – 20 minutes, until golden brown. Serve immediately, with vegan sour cream if desired.
You can also make them ahead of time; Prepare as stated up to this point, but let them cool completely. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge until you're ready to serve, and then just pop them in the toaster oven to warm through.
Makes 8 – 12 Medium-Sized Latkes

iPhone Support Coming to Unreal Development Kit, 'Epic Citadel' Hits 1 Million Downloads
Developers using the free Unreal Development Kit "will soon be able to use the power of Unreal Engine 3 to create apps for iOS devices," Epic explained. The dev also revealed that Epic Citadel--available free on iTunes--has hit one million downloads.
As well as developers allowing to freely create and release non-profit games built upon the engine behind such games as Batman: Arkham Asylum and Gears of War 3, the UDK offers a decent path into commercial development. UDK commercial licenses begin at the trifling figure of $99, followed by a 25% royalty on all revenue over $5,000.
"We'll have more on UDK support for iOS devices coming soon," Epic promises. For now, you can acclimatise to the UDK by nabbing the August beta from FileShack.

Manufacturers are already experimenting with robots. But within the next 10 years, we may start to see them pop up in classrooms, a deputy editor at The Futurist (a trends and forecasting magazine) recently told Business Insider.
That's because education is an industry that is especially ripe for change.
Schools often struggle with overcrowded classrooms, which means students aren't getting all the attention they need.
"We're kidding ourselves in telling ourselves that that's okay," Patrick Tucker says. "But any parent who is faced with the proposition of sticking their kid in a classroom with 64 other kids knows that's not going to be a classroom where their kids will realize the best educational outcome."
Tucker points to experiments in Japan, where humans remotely operate robots to help the elderly.
"The potential is to increase the capability of very good teachers through these kind of platforms in the same way that the Japanese's personal robotics scene right now is very much geared toward that," Tucker says. "Just making the right people more present in more places at once."
Still, Tucker doesn't think it's necessarily wise to have robot teachers in a classroom, but rather have a platform that lets a teacher talk to students when the teacher can't physically be there.
"I think that a certain amount of (experimentation with replacing teachers) is inevitable," Tucker says. "We can't yet say what the outcome of that experimentation will be."

Is the following true:
If $R$ is a commutative unital ring with $\mathrm{Spec}(R)\!=\!\mathrm{Max}(R)\!\cup\!\{0\}$, then $R$ is a PID.
If yes, how can one prove it?
Since $0$ is a prime ideal, $R$ is a domain. Thus we must prove that every ideal is principal. I'm not sure if this link (first answer) helps.

Statement by Kenneth S. Apfel,
Commissioner of Social Security
before the Senate Finance Committee
Subcommittee on Social Securitand Family Policy
July 7, 1998
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
I am pleased to be here today to address this most important topic. Over the past quarter century, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program has helped families of children with disabilities meet their special needs. The SSI program has come to represent an important safety net to some of our mostvulnerable families. That is why during my confirmation hearing before the full Committee, I made a commitment to conduct a"top-tn-bottom" review of the implementation of the changes tothe SSI childhood disabil ity program brought about by the Personal Responsibiliry and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Actof 1996, more commonly known as the welfare reform law.
The Top-to-Bottom ReviewI believed that this review was needed because of public concern with the implementation of the new law. I believed that the Congress, the President and the American people deserved to know whether the law and the regulations were being applied fairly.
Where specific problems were identified, I ordered that the Agency undertake immediate, corrective actions. And, because of my concern for the welfare of children, a concern I know is shared by you, the President, and the American people, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is taking steps above and beyond normal actions to ensure that every child receives a thorough and accurate assessment of his or her eligibility for benefits.
The review, which was completed in December 1997, showed that overall SSA and the SSA-funded State Disability Determination Services (DDSs), which make disability determinations for the Agency, have done a good job. Of the approximately one million children receiving SSI benefits as of December 1996 based on disability, about 288,000 were subject to redetermination under the new law, and most of these were handled properly.
After screening out the cases that were inaccurately coded as needing a review, there were about 264,000 cases requiring a review. As of May 30, 1998, we had made initial redetermination determinations for 245,349 children. We have continued benefits to 147,933 children, or 54.1 percent of all the decisions we have made. However. the review also found some inconsistencies in the application of the rules and in compliance with SSA instructions. The review identified three speci fic areas of concern: processing of children's cases classified in SSA' s records as having mental retardation; the quality of some aspects of case processing; and the adequacy of the information SSA was providing beneficiaries on their rights to appeal a cessation determination and to request that benefits be continued through the Administrative Law Judge hearing level.
As a result of the review's findings, I directed the State DDSs to review the cases of approximately 36,000 children whose benefits were ceased. Where our quality assurance information has identified problems with the accuracy of our decisions to continue benefits, we will give childhood disability cases priority review. In addition, on February 18, 1998, we re-notified approximately 75,000 children whose representative payees may not have understood their rights to appeal the determination to terminate their benefits or to request benefit continuation.
In March, we completed training for virtually all of our 15,000 adjudicators, including administrative law judges, on childhood issues that were problematic in adjudicating these claims, such as mental retardation and evaluation of maladaptive behaviors, in preparation for conducting the re-reviews, Although we originally expected to have the initial re-reviews completed by the end of this fiscal year, we are finding that more time may be needed in some cases to complete development of the medical evidence and to ensure that each child receives a fair and accurate new determination.
On March 30th, we published a new Social Security Ruling clarifying how to determine medical equivalence in childhood disability cases involving both cognition and speech disorders. Our adjudicators have been trained on this Ruling. In developing all of the training, and the Ruling, we had many discussions with individual medical experts and childhood advocates and took into account their comments. Moreover, we have conducted additional training, specifically geared to types of issues relevant to a particular State's needs . I am confident that as a result of these training efforts, our determinations will be even more accurate and consistent.
We have also developed unprecedented safeguards to ensure that our adjudication is consistent and our policy is nationally understood. This includes an enhanced and comprehensive quality review plan. These efforts will ensure early understanding by all components of the right way to do cases, provide timely and consistent feedback on deficient cases, initiate timely central policy guidance and clarification, and ensure national dissemination of all policy clarifications. In addition. I have directed that SSA conduct a study comparing the group of children losing SSI benefits to a group of children retaining SSI after implementation of welfare reform. This study will consist of two parts. The first part is an examination of existing data held by SSA, the Census Bureau and HHS. The second part is the development of a limited number of case studies to supplement the statistica l information. These case studies-valong with the statistical information--will improve our knowledge of the effects of welfare reform on children with disabi lities and their families. The results will be available by the end of FY 1999 and will help the design of our second research project on childhood disability.
A second research project on childhood disability will be a nationally representative survey of 2,000 families of children with disabilities, which will provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the impact of removing certain children with disabilities from SSI under welfare reform. A round of follow-up interviews wi ll be conducted after one year to provide longitudinal data about a range of outcomes similar to the first study, such as use of medical care, quality of life, parental labor force participation, and cost of care. This type of data has not previously been available.
SSA is also going to conduct a clinical study directed at evaluating thc most effective approach for assess ing functi oning in some children. This study will begin in FY 1999 and continue thro ugh FY 200I.
At this point, I'd like to tell you about specific findings in the three areas covered by
the review.
Mental Retardation
Of the approximately one million children on the rolls in December 1996, about 407,000 almost 41 percent of all children on the rolls) were coded in SSA's computer system as havin g a primary diagnosis of mental retardation. Eighty percent of these children (over 325,000 children) had impairments that had already been found to meet SSA's listings for mental retardation and were not subject to redetermination under the new law. Therefore. SSA conducted redeterminations on only 20 percent of the children (almost 80,000 children) who were coded on SSA's data sys tems as having mental retardation.
To begin, I'd like to draw a distinction between low IQ scores and mental retardation. Mental retardation is characterized by significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning accompanied by significant limitations in adaptive functioning. Children with low IQ scores who do not have limitations in adaptive functioning do not have mental retardation, although they may have another disabling impairment. In other words, we look at each child's ability to function as a whole we do not base our determinations solely on IQ scores.
During the redetermination process, concerns were raised that benefits to children with IQ scores in the range of 60 to 70 were being ceased erroneously because of misapplication of the listings, and that benefits to children with mental retardation who have IQ scores above 70 were being ceased because of adjudicator failure to consider the range of error inherent in all test scores and to consider all of the evidence.
SSA found that in a large number of the cases with the computer code for mental retardation, the children did not actually have mental retardation, and were never thought to have mental retardation, but were only shown in SSA's data with this diagnosis code because of limitations in our coding capacities and, frankly, coding errors. In most cases, these children were found to have learning disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning, and these claims were more likely to be ceased than claims of children who had mental retardation. This occurred because codes do not exist for all possible impairments, In such cases, our adjudicators are instructed to choose a code for a closely analogous impairment. As a result, DDSs have used the mental retardation code for other impairments.
In 1994, SSA established additional codes for certain impairments, including learning disabil ities, which were often coded as mental retardation. In connection with the top-to-bottom review, another new code was established in October 1997, for borderline intellectual functioning, another impairment that was often coded as mental retardation.
However, SSA's quality assurance data showed that some decisions to cease benefits to children SSA correctly coded as having mental retardation were deficient in some way. This means that some children appropriately identified as having mental retardation may have had their eligibility ceased incorrectly. Similar problems exist for children with mental retardation whose applications for benefits were denied after the enactment of the welfare reform legislation on August 22, 1996. As a result of these findings I have directed that SSA, through the DDSs, review the cases of all children, whose benefits were ceased or denied after the passage of welfare reform, that SSA coded as having mental retardation. These reviews began at the end of March.
Quality of Case Processing
SSA defines an accurate case as one that is free of both documentation and decisional errors. Therefore, a case may be found to be inaccurate because the adjudicator did not fully document his or her decision. Full documentation does not necessarily mean that the determination would change.
Our quality assurance process found that in most States the accuracy of both continuance and cessation determinations was above the rate of accuracy that SSA requires. However, quality assurance data also showed lower than average cessation accuracy for certain categ ories of cases in many States.
Based on this finding I directed that all States will also review a portion of their redetermination workloads that did not have the code for mental retardation. SSA has identified the types of case s that each State will review. The reviews will be of cessations in those categories of cases which. based on the data from our quality assurance review, have the highest likelihood of error. Where continuance accuracy was found to be below the threshold, we have given childhood disability cases first priority for reviews. Plans are being made to review these continuance cases in FY 1999.
The report also identified problems in cases where eligibility had been ceased based on a failure to cooperate. A child's eligibility for SSI may be ceased on the basis of a failure to cooperate when the child's parent or legal guardian does not respond to notices initiating the disability redetermination, does not take the child to a consultative medical examination, or otherwise does not cooperate in processing the claim without good cause.
Before eligibility is ceased, however, SSA's policy is to make repeated attempts to contact the childs parent or legal guardian by mail and by telephone, and when necessary to make special efforts to identify and contact another adult or agency responsible for the childs care. SSA sampled cases in States with the highest rates of cessation for failure to cooperate. SSA found that in a large number of the cases either all of the contacts required had not been attempted or the contact efforts were not documented in the case file.
Therefore, I have directed that SSA review the cases of all children whose benefits were ceased based on failure to cooperate in which a request for reconsideration was not filed. Most of these reviews have already been completed. These reviews will ensure that all required contacts and follow-ups are made and documented in case files.
Adequacy of Information
When SSA sends notices telling families (or other payees) that a redetermination has found a child is no longer eligible for benefits. the notice also advises them of their legal rights. They are told how to ask for a reconsideration, and that they can request continuation of their bene fit payments during this appeal proeess. They are also told, as required by law, about how to obtain information concerning attorney representation. I would like to note that, in many of these families, English is not the first language, further adding to problems with understanding appeals rights. In order to provide the best service to all of our customers, and to reduce reliance on outside interpreters, SSA has recently focused on hiring more bilingual employees as one of its key change initiatives. In the last five fiscal years, SSA hired over 1,700 full-time bilingual employees to serve the public in our field offices and teIeservice centers. As a result, SSA's own employees are currently capable of translating and interpreting in at least 22 different languages.
On February 18th, SSA sent special notices in simpler language to approximately 75,000 families (or other representative payees) of children whose eligibility for SSI has ceased, and who have not appealed, and also to families who have requested reconsideration, but who did not request continuation of benefit payments. These notices restated our determination regarding the child's eligibility under the new disability standard. In addition, the notices provided a clearer explanation of the child's right to appeal our determination and to request benefit continuation while the appeal is being considered.
I recognize that this step goes above and beyond normal actions. However, concerns were raised that the cessation notice was hard to understand and that SSA was not providing beneficiaries with an accurate and comprehensive explanation of their rights to file an appeal or request benefit continuation.
We ascertained that in some instances inconsistent or incomplete information led to some individuals having an inadequate understanding of their appeal rights. Therefore, I determined that these concerns should be heeded.
As a result of these notices, more than 22,000 of these families have requested that we reconsider our original determination to cease benefits to their children. Over 65 percent of these families have also requested benefit continuation. Additionally, about 5,200 of the families that had previously appealed the cessation determination, but did not request benefit continuation, have now done so.
At this point, we are very early in the review process. As of May 30th we have completed processing on 7,300 of the approximately 36,000 cases subject to re-review.
About 2,600 of the 14,000 cases coded as MR have been completed. Of these cases, a third were revised to continuance. We have completed about 4,600 of 22,000 other targeted cessations. Of these, about 14 percent became continuances after reopening.
Mr. Chairman, it would be inappropriate to assume that these percentages will not change as more cases are worked. These are preliminary results and we have many more reviews to complete. We fully expect the percentages of cessations and allowances to change as more cases are processed. What we are seeing from these early reviews, however, is consistent with our projections that about 100,000 children will ultimately lose benefits.
Medicaid Coverage
Thanks to the urging of President Clinton, last summer Congress passed an amendment as part of the Balanced Budget Act which ensured that children who lose SSI disability benefits as a result of the changes due to welfare reform continue to remain eligible for Medicaid benefits. SSA is working closely with the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) and the States to make sure that Medicaid coverage continues for these children. In order to accomplish this, we have provided to HCFA, and made available to all 50 States, lists of children whose SSI eligibility ended due to changes mandated by welfare reform. Additionally, HCFA is working with SSA to write guidelines for States to help ensure that these children continue to rece ive Medicaid.
At the time the interim final regulations were published, SSA estimated that, of the approximately one million children receiving benefits as of December 1996, 135,000 would eventually be determined ineligible for SSI benefits. Now that the redeterminations are mostly completed, and in view of the actions dictated by the findings of the top-to-bottom review, the estimate was revised downward to about 100,000 children when all actions including appeals are completed. This represents approximately 10 percent of the children on the rolls in December 1996. This estimate is consistent with the lower range estimate of the Congressional Budget Office in June 1995. I believe that, based on the early results of our re-reviews, the estimate is still accurate.
I want to emphasize that the SSI childhood disability program continues--and will continue--to help many families of children with disabilities meet their special needs. I am committed to providing fair and equitable administration of the SSI disability program for all children now and in the future. More than 3 out of 4 of those children whose benefits were initially ceased will have received at least 2 separate evaluations of their continuing eligibility. This means that all of these children are receiving the fair and accurate Agency's ability to meet that objective. You have my pledge that I will continue to ensure that children with severe disabilities receive the benefits for which they qualify.

Charles Bronson plays Joe Martin. Joe has a jaded past, but has settled down and become a fisherman married to Liv Ullman. Some of his old army buddies look him up and want him to smuggle heroin in his fishing boat. Joe isn't too happy about this. This is a suspense film and has a lot of good car chase scenes.

Love Charles Bronson… this was a good action movie without the boredom of typical action movies. Held me on the edge of my seat all the way thru. Liv Ullman was excellent. A very untypical James Mason role. Fact is, he seemed very out of place with a southern accent. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and highly recommend it.
Fab movie, good lead actors, loved C Bronson, good driving too 🙂

Barley Risotto with Mushrooms and Thyme
I was happy that I had fresh thyme leaves, but I think dried thyme would also be fine in this.
Interesting note about the recipe: The original recipe made 16 servings, so I cut the amount of barley in half, but realized halfway into making it that I still had to use the same amount of stock to get the barley cooked properly. If you wanted leftovers, you could probably use more barley and still get a delicious result. Be careful about using low-sodium chicken broth or stock, or use part water as I recommend or your finished dish will be too salty.
Barley Risotto with Mushrooms and Thyme
(Makes 8 half-cup servings. Recipe adapted from The South Beach Diet Parties and Holidays Cookbook
6 cups low-sodium chicken stock (or use 4 cups stock and 2 cups water)
1 tsp. Better than Bouillon Mushroom Base (optional but recommended)
1 1/2 T olive oil (or a little less, depending on your pan)
1/2 cup finely diced celery
1/2 large onion, finely diced
3/4 lb. mushrooms, finely diced (I used brown Baby Bella mushrooms)
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 T fresh thyme leaves, washed and chopped (or use 1 tsp. dried thyme)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cups barley
1 bay leaf
2-3 T chopped parsley to garnish (optional)
In medium-sized heavy pot, heat 1 T olive oil, then add onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, carrots, and thyme and cook about 10 minutes more, or until mushrooms have released liquid and it has evaporated.
Add barley, bay leaf, and 1 cup simmer stock. Increase heat to medium high and simmer, stirring every few minutes, and waiting for liquid to be absorbed into barley. As most of the liquid is absorbed, keep adding more stock and stirring, until all the liquid is absorbed and barley is softened.
I found it took not quite 10 minutes for the first cup of stock to be absorbed, and 3-4 minutes for each half cup, for a total cooking time of about 40-50 minutes once you start adding the stock. This time may vary depending on the exact temperature of your burner and how hot the stock is. Taste some of the barley to be sure it's done. Serve hot, with fresh parsley sprinkled on if desired.

I just reread the comments ... and all I can see is a seething bed of unreason, while simultaneously ignoring or disregarding the supposed "god of love" teachings of the carpenter-turned-rabbi.
What is truly scary is that there are plenty more where these comments came from ... and as atheism becomes stronger and more prevalent while religion loses credibility and confidence to the rationality we are trying to promote ... will this whole business come to a head, and if it does, how bad will it get?
Apparently, these are of the Luke 19:27 school of thought, rather than the Luke 6:27 school. Ummm ... maybe they got the chapter number wrong?

Soybean production for 2012/13 is projected at 2.7 billion bushels, down 358 million due to lower harvested area and yields. Harvested area is projected at 74.6 million acres, down 0.7 million from the July projection. The first survey-based soybean yield forecast of 36.1 bushels per acre is 4.4 bushels below last month's projection and 5.4 bushels below last year's yield. Soybean supplies for 2012/13 are projected 12 percent below last month to a 9-year low on lower production and reduced beginning stocks. Soybean exports are reduced 260 million bushels to 1.11 billion bushels. Soybean crush is also reduced as higher prices reduce domestic use and prospective exports for both soybean meal and oil. Soybean ending stocks are projected at 115 million bushels, down 15 million. U.S. changes for 2011/12 include increased soybean crush and exports and reduced ending stocks. Crush is increased 15 million bushels to 1.69 billion reflecting increased exports and domestic use of soybean meal. Soybean exports are increased 10 million to 1.35 billion bushels reflecting strong shipments in recent weeks. Soybean ending stocks are projected at 145 million bushels, down 25 million. Soybean and product prices for 2012/13 are all raised to record levels this month, reflecting the impact of sharply reduced soybean and corn production. The U.S. season-average soybean price is projected at $15.00 to $17.00 per bushel, up $2.00 on both ends. Soybean meal prices are projected at $460 to $490 per short ton compared with $365 to $395 last month. Soybean oil prices are projected at 53 to 57 cents per pound, up 0.5 cents on both ends. Global oilseed production for 2012/13 is projected at 457.3 million tons, down 8.5 million tons from last month. Reductions for soybeans, sunflowerseed, peanuts, and cottonseed are only partly offset by increased rapeseed production. Lower soybean production is projected for the United States, Canada, and EU-27 due to lower yields resulting from hot, dry weather. Soybean production is raised for Brazil and Paraguay as producers are expected to respond to sharply higher prices with increased plantings. Brazil's soybean production is projected up 3 million tons at a record 81 million. Sunflowerseed production is reduced for EU-27, Ukraine, and Moldova due to the effects of hot, dry weather during the reproductive stage of the crops. Other changes include higher rapeseed production for EU-27 and Ukraine, lower rapeseed production for China and Australia, lower peanut production for India and Indonesia, and lower cottonseed production for India. Global oilseed and meal production, trade, and consumption for 2012/13 are all reduced this month reflecting the impact of reduced oilseed supplies and higher prices. Projected soybean imports for China are reduced 1.5 million tons to 59.5 million as domestic soybean stocks contribute a larger component of soybean meal consumption. Soybean exports for Brazil and Argentina are forecast higher but only partly offset a reduction for the United States. ……………………………..

The 2014 Teen Choice Awards, celebrating the year's achievements in film, TV, music, fashion and sports on the millennial generation's list, are just around the corner.
Movie-wise, the hottest things include action comedy "22 Jump Street" and sci-fi adventure "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." On the TV side, fantasy horror "The Vampire Diaries" and mystery thriller "Pretty Little Liars" are equally popular.
To announce those winners and more, the evening's lineup will rope in presenters Chloe Grace Moretz, Kellan Lutz and Kendall Jenner, among others. Perhaps Jenner, who slipped up as she introduced the band 5 Seconds of Summer at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, will have a better go this time around.
In any case, the stage will include performances by British singer-songwriter Rita Ora, hip-hop artist Jason Derulo and a special collaboration between pop stars Demi Lovato and Cher Lloyd. R&B group Rixton, as well as reggae fusion band Magic!, will also supply musical feats.
To catch it all, you could go to the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, where the show takes place. Or tune in, like the masses, on Aug. 10 from 8 to 10 p.m. ET/PT tape-delayed on Fox.
