It's only right the Hennessey Venom GT — a monster with a 1,200-hp American heart — should finally find an American owner. And it's "P***Y Magnet" yellow to boot, though we're sure the owner isn't Nick Hogan.
After a tour of Europe scaring off Bugattis the latest Venom GT will make its American debut at Monterey on Wednesday at the McCall's Motorworks Revival at the Monterey Jet Center before moving over to the RM Auction at the Portolla Plaza in downtown Monterey.
You think when Steinbeck was writing "Cannery Row" he ever thought the same acreage of Great Depression factories would one day play host to a $1 million American supercar? Probably not.

What is the AMTSO?
AMTSO is an independent international coalition that was created to provide a forum for discussing anti-malware product testing, writing and publicizing guidelines for objective testing, and providing education and tools to help those engaging in anti-malware testing. In addition its "Review of Reviews" board provides analysis of anti-malware tests and reports on how well they follow the AMTSO guidelines.
The AMTSO testing guidelines may seem like simple common sense, but they're the end result of hours of discussion among many members. In many cases the members are competing vendors, yet they work together amicably to improve testing for the whole industry. These are the guidelines:
- Testing must not endanger the public.
- Testing must be unbiased.
- Testing should be reasonably open and transparent.
- The effectiveness and performance of anti-malware products must be measured in a balanced way.
- Testers must take reasonable care to validate whether test samples or test cases have been accurately classified as malicious, innocent or invalid.
- Testing methodology must be consistent with the testing purpose.
- The conclusions of a test must be based on the test results.
- Test results should be statistically valid.
- Vendors, testers and publishers must have an active contact point for testing-related correspondence.
The full guidelines document explains in detail what's meant by each of these nine points.
AMTSO members are generally companies, though some individual researchers belong. Membership includes many of the large security companies including Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky, Panda, Trend Micro, and BitDefender. Testing labs form another membership group. AV-Test, AV-Comparatives, Cascadia Labs, ICSA Labs, NSS Labs and West Coast Labs are among those represented. I rely on a number of these in my own security reviews. The full list of members is available on the AMTSO web site.
As an advisory board member for the Anti-Malware Testing Standards organization I'm currently meeting with the group's board of directors to discuss strategy for the next few years.

I mulled it over a few days, and after talking to Brian and him being so helpful, I decided today to pull the trigger on a forest green deluxe with 4 side pullouts. Now I'm all excited and can't wait for it to get here!! I'll be stalking the mailman everyday! Thanks for everything, Brian, and I sincerely hope the job is everything you hope it to be.

Moviemaker Lana Wachowski has spoken for the first time about her sex change, revealing in a candid new interview that she was initially "terrified" of losing her family.
"The Matrix" director lived as a man called Larry until 2002, and she only publicly confirmed her gender reassignment in July while promoting the new Tom Hanks film "Cloud Atlas."
Wachowski, who divorced college sweetheart Thea Bloom in 2002 and went on to marry a second wife, has now revealed she suffered many sleepless nights as she contemplated telling her relatives about her sex change plans.
She tells the New Yorker magazine, "For years, I couldn't even say the words transgendered or transsexual. When I began to admit it to myself, I knew I would eventually have to tell my parents and my brother and my sisters. This fact would inject such terror into me that I would not sleep for days."
Wachowski insists she was overwhelmed by support from family members and now feels happy in her new life, adding, "I chose to change my exterior to bring it closer into alignment with my interior. … My biggest fears were all about losing my family. Once they accepted me, everything else has been a piece of cake."
However, Wachowski is determined to keep some details of her sex change private: "I know that many people are dying to know if I have a surgically constructed vagina or not, but I prefer to keep this information between my wife and me."

A light popcorn entertainer!
Goosebumps fails to give you what its name promises. Or wait….maybe it didn't promise anything in the first place. More of a tribute to R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series. The movie is a very light comedy which banks on its sheer adventurous story to work. It does work though but not exactly the way you wanted it to.
With a fantastical plot where characters pop out of books into the real world, it basically gives you the idea where things are headed. But when you don't slip in logic or even try to give a proper explanation things begin to go downhill.
What is quite surprising about the movie is the fact that it manages to hold on, even when things don't. Both direction and editing of the movie have been done brilliantly. Helmed by Rob Letterman this flick has proper focus and runs at a great pace. There is slight comedy hurled hither and thither to make things jovial, which keeps the theme upbeat.
Jack Black plays Stine, the renowned author. But here you see a different version of the Jack you used to know. He is a non-comical recluse holding a dire secret. Both Dylan and Odeya are delightful to watch and have been complemented well by the remaining crew.
If you love dark, this isn't a movie for you. You might want things to go out of hand and to an extremity like in Cabin in the Woods. However, this movie makes everything seem pretty normal. Adrenaline doesn't pump much. Love looks mediocre. Loss doesn't bring tears. Proper thought hasn't been given in that department. Almost reminds you of all those Disney flicks they make!
Quite childish this movie, if you ask me! Kids are gonna love it though!

Bendtner: I've talked to other clubs
Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner claims he currently has no shortage of admirers but insists he will not make any decision on his future until after Euro 2012.
Bendtner, 25, was sent on loan to Sunderland by Arsene Wenger in 2011-12 and his future now appears to lie away from Emirates Stadium after the Gunners signed Lukas Podolski from Cologne earlier this month.
The Denmark international, who scored in a friendly against Brazil on Saturday, will be in the shop window for his country at the upcoming European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, though he says he has already made contact with other clubs.
However, Bendtner is determined to focus solely on Euro 2012 for now, with a decision to be made about where he will play next season after the finals.
"Yes, I have talked to other clubs," Bendtner said. "I have told all the clubs that I want to wait until after Euro 2012. We have got plenty of time to sort out the future."
Bendtner has been linked to a move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, as well as Serie A side Roma.

Sold-out Garden watches Knicks rout Heat in the wake of Sandy
NEW YORK – New York Knicks fans showed up to watch their team. The Knicks showed up for their fans.
The reciprocation was mutually appreciated – the Knicks didn't know how they felt about playing the game, with so many still suffering from effects of Hurricane Sandy.
MORE:Wade donates game check to Sandy victims
CANCELED:NYC Marathon CEO explains decision
"Before the game, it was difficult," Knicks center Tyson Chandler said. "Everyone had the hurricane on their mind and everything this city is going through. As we were going out, we said, 'Look, we're here. Our friends are here. The thing we can do it put a smile on their face by going out there, playing hard and representing the city in the right way."
Smiles indeed. If not all fans in an announced sellout of 19,033 attended the game, it was close, and they were treated to a Knicks victory – 104-84 victory over the defending champion Miami Heat at rocking Madison Square Garden.
Half of Heat forward LeBron James wanted to play at Madison Square Garden Friday – as brief respite from the devastation. All of Dwyane Wade preferred not to play the game, and he expressed in Tweets and verbally, telling USA TODAY he planned to donate his salary from Friday's game to storm relief efforts.
The Heat played like they didn't want to be there, and the inspired Knicks took advantage of the flat Heat, clobbering them with a barrage of three-pointers. The Knicks made 19-of-36 threes, including 4-of-8 from All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony (30 points, 10 rebounds) and 5-of-8 from reserve forward Steve Novak (17 points).
A 10-second sequence in the fourth quarter captures the essence of the game. Knicks guard Raymond Felton made a three with 6:40 left in the game, and on Miami's next possession, forward Chris Bosh shot a three-point airball with 6:30 left.
Late in the game, Knicks fans chanted "Rasheed Wallace ... Rasheed Wallace," and Knicks coach Mike Woodson obliged, sending the 38-year-old forward into the game.
"Our fans were fantastic," Woodson said. "They're like our sixth man, and it's beautiful to watch. ... It's great. It says a lot about our city, and the fans that support us."
And Wallace? He promptly made a three-pointer and later delivered the quote of the night: "I accept my Brian Scalabrine role. I'm cool with it."
Responding to mounting pressure and criticism, officials canceled on Friday the New York City Marathon scheduled for Sunday – just hours after insisting the race would take place.
The concern about whether the Heat-Knicks game should be played disappeared as fans began entering Madison Square Garden.
It was the right move to postpone Thursday's scheduled Knicks-Brooklyn Nets game. With no subway trains traveling to Brooklyn, a jam-packed crossing at the Brooklyn Bridge, limited bus service and sparse parking at the Nets' new $1 billion Barclays Center, it make playing a game there Thursday impractical and near impossible.
Even though much of lower Manhattan was still without power for most of the day Friday, subway trains dropped riders off close enough to Madison Square Garden and Penn Station, and the Long Island Rail Road rolled into Penn Station.
Thousands of New Yorkers were without power, and store shelves have been depleted of basic staples. A handful of traffic signals near busy Madison Square Garden were out, and other traffic lights flickered. Driving into Manhattan revealed large stretches of lower Manhattan and lower mid-town in the dark.
Coffee shops and diners were packed with customers Friday morning, many people in long lines waiting to order food and beverages and to use restrooms. Some restaurants had signs on the front door that read "Closed, no food." Several blocks south of Bryant Park at West 40th Street and East of 5th Avenue were without power while businesses across the street had power.
Some fans, who had been without power for days, used outlets inside Madison Square Garden to charge their phones.
As the day progressed, Con Edison continued to restore power to thousands of customers. Around 5 p.m. ET Friday, the company Tweeted, "#ConEdison restores over 65,000 customers on the Lower East Side and East Village areas of #Manhattan #Sandy"
The company continued to Tweet through the evening, saying it had restored power to more than 450,000 customers in Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Brooklyn and Westchester County.
Then, it was time for basketball. Before the game, Anthony addressed the crowd. "Thank you for coming out in hard times and supporting the New York Knicks. This is the most important time for the city of New York to come together and rebuild the city."
Then, they destroyed the Heat.
BOX SCORE:Knicks 104, Heat 84
"Over the last couple of days, we didn't know if the game was going to be played," Anthony said. "Then, before the game we saw that they cancelled the marathon. We had to go out there and play. Today was something to give New Yorkers a couple hours of peace. … We gave them a good show tonight. That's the least that we could do."
Prior to the game, some shared James' 50-50 sentiment. It held true on Manhattan sidewalks in front of Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, where the almost-normal rush of car and foot traffic passed. Outside the Garden, hundreds of Knicks fans breezed through a line for free Knicks T-shirts.
Tyon Reid, 32, took the 6 train downtown from the Bronx. He left early just in case he encountered transportation issues. He didn't.
Asked if the game should have been played, he said, "Yes and no. Yes, because I'm excited for the start of the season. No, because I'm not sure everyone will make it because of the transportation is messed up. Plus, people are not really thinking about the Knicks because of what happened with the hurricane."
He also had tickets to Thursday's postponed Knicks-Nets game in Brooklyn's new Barclays Center. "I was like good. I could have never made it to Brooklyn. I'm not upset at all."
Anthony Donahue, a Knicks fan who hosts a weekly radio show on the Knicks, would have been fine either way, too.
"You eventually have to play," said the 28-year-old resident of the Bronx who also rode the subway. "If you go back to 9/11, the (New York) Mets played six days later. It's devastating around the city, but eventually you do move on. I actually expect a pretty good crowd at the game tonight. I'm going to guess of the 19,763 seats, that they'll get 17,000 in there.
"I haven't missed an opening night since I've been 14."
Robert Boyd, who lives in the Jamaica neighborhood in Queens, took the Long Island Rail Road directly to Penn Station. The 62-year-old, wearing his Miami Heat hat, said he encountered no issues getting into Manhattan.
Still, Boyd, like Wade, doesn't believe the game should have been played.
"To be honest, I would have rather them postponed it," he said. "There's a lot of other things that take precedence. The gas and power situations are difficulties facing lots of people."
Nick Bukovec, 26, drove into Manhattan from South Plainfield, N.J. A drive that normally takes 45 minutes to an hour took almost two hours.
"We had to take a lot of detours, but other than that it was fine," he said. "Now that we have power back, I'm can't be too upset and aggravated."

The Seattle Seahawks have looked like the inferior team for the second straight game. Vontae Davis gave the Colts a scare, leaving Sunday's win over the Jaguars early with a groin injury. Broncos T.J. Ward Orange/Navy Jersey After Pinkston's 2012 campaign was sideswiped by a hospital stay for blood clots in his lungs, the lineman returned to the ICU just seven days before camp, Rapoport was told. So then I told (then-Cowboys coach Wade Phillips) to put me in on first downs.
Broncos Chris Harris Jr White Jersey After Sunday's Panthers-Giants game, we thought it would be safe to assume that people would relax on Carolina cornerback Josh Norman for a while. For example, Garrison Bespoke in Toronto caters to Bay Streeters needing wardrobe consultations. Broncos Peyton Manning Green Jersey Republican voters fed up with Washington and anyone with a background in politics have cheered billionaire businessman Donald Trump as the ultimate 2016 outsider, making him the front-runner for the GOP nomination. The Bears have an opening at wide receiver on their depth chart after Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffrey and Earl Bennett. Those questions germinated from new teammate, Michael Bennett, who once called Graham "one of the softest players" in the NFL. Fitzpatrick, who finished the Jets' Week 11 tilt against the Texans by going 19 of 39 with 216 yards, blames himself for the team's lack of production on offense.
Soon to be a goner, Jim Harbaugh was rightfully livid after the 49ers were slapped with a highly questionable roughing the passer penalty in the fourth quarter. Of course, the Vikings' offense is about Adrian Peterson. The nonsense is dialed up high, but Romo is underrated and Dez Bryant is the division's most dangerous receiver. Broncos Jordan Norwood Green Jersey I've been through a lot worse than averaging what I'm averaging in carries. I just don't see too many having a level of success against those guys.
Broncos Michael Schofield Orange Jersey But Chris Wesseling says the Colts WRs can play an integral role in Indy's offensive revival. The former University of Washington standout will compete in a three-man battle with Dominique Franks and Robert Alford for the right cornerback slot opposite Asante Samuel. Broncos Peyton Manning Green Jersey I just feel like it's because I'm a winner and I've been put on the biggest stages from the national championship to the Sunday night game I had against the Giants, everyone expected me to lose those games. He'll need to be replaced at some point. Going into it, you felt very comfortable and confident that you'd get an opportunity to get drafted.
Each country in the tournament will have some tough choices to make when finalizing their 25-man teams, but the picks and snubs will be closely watched in the Canada and might create a bit of a buzz in the U. That'll be day to day, they'll show us how they progress. Ground and pound" in Green Bay. Much like that of the 2013 Broncos, the Steelers' offense has shown the ability to blitz opposing defenses with a torrential downpour of points, blowing close games wide open. Broncos Tom Jackson Navy Blue Jersey It's so intense that every time rates move up, people will enter to take advantage of better yields.

More than 100 people from Taoyuan County's Jhongli City (中壢) yesterday urged the county government to take responsibility for store units that they bought about 20 years ago. The units were part of a seemingly promising shopping mall construction project, which was later found to be later illegal and the unit owners are yet to be reimbursed.
"We trusted the government, so my father and I did not hesitate to buy two store units when we saw it, each of them costing about NT$3 million [US$102,000] at the time, and we made a down payment of NT$2.86 million," Peng Kang-mu (彭康木), one of the buyers, told a news conference at the Legislative Yuan.
"We borrowed money to make the down payment, but we didn't get what we paid for, and haven't got the money back either," Peng said.
The chairwoman of the buyers' self-help organization, Chang Hsiu-jung (張秀榕), said the information they received in 1991 was that the county and the city governments planned to build a shopping mall with a parking lot and apartment units along the Laojie River (老街溪) that flows through Jhongli and that the government had contracted out the project to a private construction firm.
"We never thought there would be any problems because the local government endorsed it, but we only found out later the then-Taiwan Provincial Government only gave permission to build a parking lot, not a shopping center as was advertised," Chang said.
"Hence, we never got to use the unit we bought for even a single day while the construction firm run a paid parking lot on the site," Chang added.
"The county government demolished the complex last year and we never get our money back," she added.
Chang showed a video clip of a TV commercial and a poster for the shopping mall, in which the mall was described as a three-story building with a parking lot on the first floor, stores on the second and apartment units on the third.
She also showed a video clip of the late Taoyuan County Commissioner, Liu Pang-yu (劉邦友), speaking at a ceremony to launch construction of the complex on Jan. 15, 1991.
In the video, Liu said the construction project was "good news not only for Jhongli City, but also for Taoyuan County," adding that once completed, the complex would provide 1,200 parking spaces and around 800 store units.
"The problem we're facing today is the result of a wrongful decision made by the county and city governments 20 years ago. We're shouldering the responsibility, but what have we done wrong? We didn't do anything wrong," the self-help organization's vice chairman Liu Chin-lung (劉金龍) said.
He said it is unfair that the government is not taking responsibility for their mistake and that the construction firm has benefited from the project.
"The construction firm built the complex with our down payment money, though the shopping center was never inaugurated, they made money from running a parking lot on the site for the past 20 years," Liu said. "And we the buyers, the most innocent stakeholders, are not getting anything."
In response, deputy director of Taoyuan County Water Resources Bureau Chiu Feng-hsiu (邱峰旭) said the buyers are not allowed to use the store units because the county government would not issue licenses to use them.
"The problem was that the finished building was going to be different from what was allowed to be built when the county government issued the construction permit," he said.

Potatoes tend to be served up in one of three ways at my table, all of the variations special in their own way. There are the classic Perfect Mashed Potatoes, naturally, a favorite with my children, and oh-so-comforting. Puff-pastry wrapped Potato Strudel is an elegant side dish that has won many of you over with its surprisingly easy assembly and beautiful presentation.
And then there are roast potatoes. Crispy and golden, with creamy white interiors, infused with a rosemary-garlic oil. They have to be my favorite side to accompany everything from the Sunday roast to a batch of scrambled eggs for brunch. Don't save them just for when company comes over, these roast potatoes are even simple enough to be cooked up with sausages or a ham for a weeknight dinner.
I make my roast potatoes two ways, depending on the meal. For an accompanying side dish to dinner, I cut them quite large, coat them in polenta for a bit of extra crunch and roast them in a generous amount of garlic and rosemary scented olive oil . The result is addictive and surprisingly upscale for a humble potato.
For breakfast and brunch, I cut potatoes into a large dice, cut down on the garlic, and roast them in a blazing hot oven for maximum crunch on the exterior.
I've included both recipes here.
Polenta-Crusted Potatoes with Rosemary & GarlicPrint Pin Rate
- 2 pounds red potatoes about 6-8 medium, peeled
- 2 Tablespoons polenta or cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons salt divided
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
- 8-10 cloves garlic peeled
- Cut each potato in half, then in half again, and again in half until you have 8 even chunks. Place in a medium pot with 1 teaspoon salt, cover with cold water and place over high heat.
- Bring potatoes to a boil, then lower the heat slightly and boil for ten minutes. Meanwhile, preheat to oven to 425°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together polenta, salt and pepper. Drain potatoes well in a colander. Sprinkle with polenta seasoning and toss gently to coat.
- In a large (12-inch) cast iron pan or heavy-bottomed skillet, heat olive oil over high heat. When small bubbles begin to rise (but before oil is smoking) and oil is very hot, add rosemary and garlic. Stir carefully with tongs for a minute.
- Add seasoned potatoes all at once to the hot, fragrant oil and arrange them with your tongs so that they are evenly distributed around the pan. Place the skillet on the bottom shelf of the hot oven and roast for 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven carefully and turn each potato so the crispy side faces up. Return to oven for another five or ten minutes.
- Remove potatoes from oven and, using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and serve at once. Cool, then strain and reserve the oil remaining in the pan for another use.
Crispy Rosemary Hash BrownsPrint Pin Rate
- 2 lbs peeled potatoes cut into cubes
- 8-12 cloves garlic peeled
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons duck fat or bacon grease
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a medium pot, cover potato cubes with cold water. Toss in garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon salt. Place on high heat and bring to a boil. As soon as the potatoes boil, remove from heat and drain well in a colander.
- In a large (12-inch) cast iron pan or heavy-bottomed skillet, heat olive oil and duck fat over high heat. When small bubbles begin to rise (but before oil is smoking) and oil is very hot, add rosemary. Stir carefully with tongs for a minute.
- Add potatoes and garlic cloves all at once to the hot, fragrant oil and carefully arrange them with your tongs so that they are evenly distributed around the pan. Place the skillet on the bottom shelf of the hot oven and roast for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and carefully stir the hash browns so they have a chance to brown evenly. Return to oven for another five minutes.
- Remove potatoes from oven and place on a stove burner set to medium high. Blast the potatoes for 2-3 minutes, stirring continually, until they become a dark golden brown. Remove from heat.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with fresh chopped rosemary, if desired, and serve at once.
- Cool the oil, then strain and reserve for another use.
What is one way you like to serve up the humble potato?

It's not one of his bigger screen roles, but veteran Academy Award-winning actor Cliff Robertson turns in a fine performance as an aging plant electrician in the movie "Spider-Man." Robertson plays Peter Parker's (Spider-Man's) Uncle Ben, who is fired from his chief-electrician job after 35 years. (The movie never explains why the 68-year-old electrician is not given early or regular retirement — though these days it could be a pension/401K thing.) Uncle Ben scans classifieds every day, lamenting that companies want new computer tricks from an "old-dog" electrician. "They're downsizing the workers and upsizing profits," he says.
We won't give away the entire plot, but we will say that after a genetically altered spider's bite turns mild-mannered Parker into Spider-Man, the super-hero first uses his powers to make money. But after a family tragedy, he vows to dedicate his life to fighting crime, taking to heart advice from his beloved Uncle Ben: "With great power comes great responsibility."

The Anti-Cancer Diet
"What you eat and how much you consume makes a difference when it comes to cancer," says Colleen Doyle, R.D., director of nutrition and physical activity for the American Cancer Society. The first step: Limit your intake of sweets and unhealthy fats. Focus on the term "occasional treat," with the stress on occasional. Step two: Incorporate the following foods into your everyday meals and snacks; pick at least two a day for a week's worth of protection. They're nutritional powerhouses and have all shown promise in the fight against cancer.
Serving = 1 cup soy milk, 4 ounces tofu, or 1/2 cup shelled edamame
Soy may lower the risk for breast and prostate cancers. You'll get more benefit from whole soy (edamame, tofu and soy milk) than from foods with processed soy protein (energy bars), says Alice Bender, R.D., a dietician with the American Institute for Cancer Research. One caution: Some women with breast cancer should avoid soy—talk with your doctor.
Serving = 1 cup
Berries contain antioxidants that reduce and repair the kind of damage to cells that can lead to cancer. When they're not in season, choose frozen berries since they're typically just as healthy as fresh.
Serving = 1 cup
Tea has antioxidants called catechins that may block certain enzymes that lead to cancer. In animal research, stomach, liver and skin tumors shrank in mice fed green or black tea. Steeping tea for at least five minutes releases the most antioxidants.
Fatty Fish
Serving = 3 ounces
Several studies have indicated that the mega-healthy components of fish—like omega-3 fatty acids—guard against cancer (just as they do against cardiovascular disease), but experts stress that more trials are necessary. Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna are high in omega-3s.
Serving = 1 clove or 1 teaspoon minced
According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, garlic may lower your risk for colon cancer with compounds that block tumor formation and cancer cell growth in the colon.
Serving = 1/4 cup
All nuts may prevent cancer. Peanuts in particular have been linked to a lower rate of endometrial and colorectal cancers in women. The protective benefits of nuts most likely come from antioxidant compounds like folic acid and magnesium, according to a research review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Serving = 1 to 2 tablespoons, ground
Researchers say the lignans, compounds that act like antioxidants, in this high-fiber seed may help reduce the growth and spread of breast cancer. Grind flaxseed before eating (or buy ground instead of whole) to better absorb the nutrients.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Serving = 1/2 cup
Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli pack sulfur-containing compounds that may inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Studies have linked them to lower rates of lung, liver, colon, breast and endometrial cancers.
Sweet Potatoes
Serving = 1 medium potato
Beta-carotene, the antioxidant that gives sweet potatoes (as well as carrots, cantaloupe and mangoes) their orange color, may help prevent the damage to cell membranes that leads to cancer.
Low-Fat Dairy
Serving = 1 cup
In recent research, premenopausal women who had at least one serving a day of low-fat yogurt or milk reduced their breast cancer risk. Most dairy products also contain vitamin D, which has been associated with lower risk for pancreatic and colorectal cancers.
Serving = 1 cup
Red and purple grapes contain the same disease-fighting compound found in wine—resveratrol—which has been shown to slow the growth of cancer cells and block tumor formation in the liver, stomach and breast. Lycopene, the pigment that gives grapes their color, also boasts cancer-fighting properties.
Leafy Greens
Serving = 1 to 2 cups raw
Dark green leafy vegetables are loaded with folate, a B vitamin that helps repair damaged DNA that's vulnerable to cancer. Some studies suggest it may guard against GI cancers in particular—and possibly breast cancer too.
Serving = 1/2 cup cooked
Having meatless meals can slash your risk for cancer, so consider eating more beans (such as black, pinto, lima and kidney) as well as other legumes (like lentils and black-eyed peas). Postmenopausal women whose diets contain lots of beans have lower rates of invasive breast cancer.
Whole Grains
Serving = 1 slice bread, 1 cup cereal, or 1/2 cup brown rice or pasta
Compared with refined grains (like white bread and regular pasta), whole grains have much more fiber, which may protect against colorectal cancers because it helps move food through your digestive system faster. At least half of your daily grain servings should be whole grains.
Strive to add cancer-fighting foods to your diet while keeping in mind these daily recommendations:
Every Day Consume at Least:

What is an email client?
An email client is software that you download and install on your computer, and use to send and receive emails. The alternative is to use webmail.
All email travels over the internet, and is stored on servers. Those servers can belong to email providers (like Gmail), internet service providers (like Comcast), or web hosting providers (like GoDaddy). This server is where email is collected and stored, until you delete it.
An email client must be connected to the internet to send and receive email, and is configured to access your provider's email servers. Once your email is downloaded to your computer from your provider's server, you can use the email client to read and interact with your email, even if you're not online.
Email clients offer more robust functionality than a webmail website. However, the client must be configured correctly, and on each device separately, to work with your email provider's servers. Office 365 allows you to configure many clients, such as Outlook and Apple Mail. You can also use the native email clients, or the Outlook app on your iPhone, Android, or Windows mobile device.

Volunteer Information
St. Thomas runs three levels of outdoor program, described below. Volunteers are welcome at all levels of the program. Willingness to work with young people in a fun, high-energy, and challenging environment is a must, as is a commitment to Leave No Trace wilderness ethics. Prior basic camping or more advanced experience is a bonus, but we can provide training in any areas you haven't experienced before. Lots of our volunteers learned to climb, paddle, tele, or bike with us! There's nothing like a promise to a bunch of kids to stop you from making excuses and get outdoors!
Are you a UM or Eastern Student? Former Scout? We are especially encouraging of young adults in their 20's and 30's to join our program as volunteers. You bring something special - a vision for our guys of what it's like to be a really cool college student and young adult!
Male and female leaders are welcome. Pack 8, Venture 8 and Troop 8 are youth programs of St. Thomas Church. They are open to youth and adults of any faith who are respectful of our beliefs and mission. Venture 8 and Troop 8 use resources licensed from the Boy Scouts of America.
Interested? Call or Email the St. Thomas Scouting Coordinator Bob Geier at 904-2984 or email@example.com
Pack 8 Program
The Pack 8 program provides a program of family fun and learning for boys in grades 1-5. In the early grades, the program focuses on fun activities like Pinewood Derbies and short, family-oriented outings. In grades 4-5, the program begins to introduce more self-directed activities and car-camping outings with adventurous day trips.
The Pack 8 program is strongly tied to the parish elementary school, and primarily serves those families.
Troop 8 Program
The Troop 8 program provides an introduction to outdoor adventure sports, hobbies, and leadership skills at a level appropriate for rapidly growing middle school youth. The program offers short 1-2 month sequences which introduce a wide variety of human-powered outdoor activities while building up a solid set of basic wilderness skills. Activities culminate each month in weekend or week-long trips where participants get a chance to use newly found skills in a real-life adventure.
Troop 8 is a hands-on outdoor leadership school, not a guided tour like many camp experiences. High-school aged youth leaders select activities, make contacts, plan for gear and routes, and help manage safety under the direction of our volunteer adult coaches. Participants travel in small groups called "patrols" to develop teamwork, strong group dynamic, and leadership, and to practice sound Leave No Trace ethics. Older youth serve as instructors and mentors to newer members. The program also emphasizes citizenship and service, putting newly learned skills to use to benefit the community. Troop 8 gives over 1,000 hours of service each year.
Recent Activities
Downhill skiing, Backpacking (on foot & ski), Lake & River Canoeing, Whitewater Rafting
Road Cycling, Mountain Biking, Orienteering, Climbing
Shooting Sports, Light Plane Aviation, Model Rocketry, Amateur Radio
Venture 8 Program
Venture 8 is an outdoor skills and leadership program for high-school aged youth who have developed basic skills through Troop 8 or other programs and are ready to move up. Venture 8 operates on the Wilderness Education Association model, and works to develop the skills and judgment typical of a beginning professional guide. Youth leaders plan and execute two major multi-week expeditions each year, with an active sequence of increasingly complex and fun outings in preparation. "Core" skills like medical first response are developed to a high level in each expedition, while activity-specific skills receive intense hands-on training. Safety, hazard evaluation, and rescue are important components of the program. Skills are cemented through independent small-group excursions and opportunities to lead and teach in the Troop 8 program. Venture 8 members are solid Class III+ kayakers, rescue-trained lead climbers, avalanche-prepared telemark skiers, WI4 mountaineers, EMTs and FR's.
Recent expeditions

Hope Amid Hatred
Rabbi Ted Falcon, Pastor Don Mackenzie, and Sheikh Jamal Rahman, known collectively as the "Interfaith Amigos," have been learning and teaching together since 2001. They blog weekly for YES! Magazine.
The beginning of a new year always becomes an invitation to think about what "starting over" might mean. We would all like to do that, like to feel a sense of renewal, re-creation, even forgiveness. We would like to find a way to get "unstuck," to get moving again. The new year often feels like a door into that possibility.
But what do we want to move toward? Boredom reflects a sense that we are not moving. Our regrets often constitute a drag on forward movement.
Anxiety about what is coming is similar. When we began our blog a year ago, we wrote about setting sacred intentions—resolutions that help us to move toward a more inclusive, just, and loving world. That is what we want to move toward, but often we don't have the words to describe it. We don't have the resources to act on it. And without a certain hopefulness about moving forward, there can be no deep or shared sense of the desire for healing in our culture.
The shootings in Arizona last week are another example of the anger and frustration that is capturing the hearts and minds of more and more Americans. The polarization is frightening. It points toward hopelessness. Where is the opportunity in all this anger and hatred? What is the connection between the work of religion and the benefits of a democracy?
We in this country are deeply dedicated to the concepts of freedom. We speak of freedom, but usually only in terms of the desire for personal freedom. But I think it is important to ask, "Freedom for what purpose?" Unless we consider the fact that freedom can give us both the space and the resources to help ourselves grow spiritually (no matter what our spiritual path may be) and—using the consequences of that growth—contribute to the common good, freedom remains narcissistic.
I think it is time to take the concept of democracy to the next level. I remember a conversation with David Korten when he reminded Ted Falcon, Jamal Rahman, and me that the English word "economics" has as its root the Greek word "oikos." Oikos is also the root of the word ecumenical, a word used by Christians to suggest an ideal coming together of Christian churches. Oikos refers to the idea of a household, a functioning system that seeks to care for and provide (ideally) unconditional love for its members along with the basic resources for living.
Words Matter: How Media Can Build Civility or Destroy It
We are one household in this country and it is time to give democracy the opportunity to have us help each other instead of hurt each other. In fact, we are one household in this world. Suffering in any part of the world actually affects each of us. We need to be defined by hopefulness instead of hopelessness.
That oikos sensibility comes from Deuteronomy 6:4—"Listen O Israel, the eternal is our God, the eternal is one." It doesn't say there is just one God. It says God is one—there is nothing else. We are all a part of the One. This was the basic frame of Jesus' ministry. That sense of oneness does not mean that we should all be alike, nor that we should all think the same way. It means that there is a basic way of understanding experience that is rooted in that concept of being one household—oikos.
Howard Zinn in his book A People's History of the United States argued that, though we value the concept of democracy here in the United States, we do not yet have one. Oikos is a concept rooted in all major faith traditions and through interfaith dialogue and collaboration, it might have a chance to help with the suffering and injustice of this troubled world. One religion working alone cannot prevail.
Here's one way to get started, a way to step through the door of opportunity that the new year provides. Begin each day with a prayer of thanksgiving. If our lives can be framed by an awareness of blessings, we can find the resources to cope with our curses. But if our lives are framed by our curses, we have no hope of finding our blessings. As a country and as a world, that is where we are now. This reality is a spiritual and psychological truth. But remember this too: Our curses, our difficulties, the things in our lives that are the cause of suffering and unhappiness, are also invitations to growth.
These two pieces of spirituality offer us the opportunity to be energized by gratitude rather than be destroyed by resentment. They point to hopefulness and lie behind the door marked "new year."
- from the Interfaith Amigos blog.
By learning the foundations of each other's faiths, we can learn to respect and connect with one another so we may work together to build a better world.
How do we work with others who believe that theirs is the Only Way?

The Real McCoy's is a brand like no other. To many the outdated features of vintage clothing have little significance in today's modern society, but this is exactly what influences the brand. American fashion of the 1940's and 1950's is a source of great inspiration; a young country unburdened by the restrictions of traditional customs, one that's uninhibited, rational and innovative.

PORTSMOUTH – Good things come in threes at the upcoming eCoast Tech Crawl - a dynamic pub crawl through downtown Portsmouth for seacoast technology professionals and enthusiasts. This collaboration-oriented event, which takes place on March 14, from 4:30 – 8:30 p.m., features three components, three relevant technology topics, and three different venues.
The inaugural eCoast Tech Crawl is built around the software release life cycle: Alpha, Beta, and Release. The Crawl kicks off in "Alpha" appropriately enough at Congress Street's Alpha Loft, a coworking space for tech/creative/startup professionals. In Alpha, crawl-goers will check out one of the seacoast's successful coworking models and hear about the state of the local technology scene from Josh Cyr, founder of Alpha Loft and freelance software developer.
The Crawl's second stage, "Beta", takes place at The Thirsty Moose and features three twenty-minute topic-driven talks on trending technologies, including the transformation to designing in the browser and database technologies to efficiently manage big data. The Crawl culminates in the final stage, "Release", at the Press Room where eCoast will release a special announcement and crawl-goers can enjoy post-event camaraderie.
Food and refreshments are included along the Crawl. In addition, there will also be attendee giveaways and prizes.
Space is limited and interested attendees are urged to sign up quickly. Event tickets are $20. Register at http://ecoasttechcrawl.eventbrite.com/. For more information, please contact Mark Miller at 603.294.4978.
The eCoast is a group comprised of high-tech businesses and professionals united in the common goals of promoting and protecting the high quality of life in the Seacoast. The eCoast plays an important role in the regional economy and is a thriving, pulsing network of technology-related businesses. Established informally in January 1999 by volunteers from the local technology business community and formally branded in May 1999, the eCoast Technology Roundtable is a special committee of the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce. eCoast brought to life TechWorld in 2000 and again in 2010. The group has also evolved to include a unique partnership between the Chamber and the City of Portsmouth. For more information, please visit www.ecoast.org.

CIA's Financial Spying Bags Data on Americans
Information on International Money Transfers Includes Financial and Personal Data of Americans
The Central Intelligence Agency is building a vast database of international money transfers that includes millions of Americans' financial and personal data, officials familiar with the program say.
The program, which collects information from U.S. money-transfer companies including Western Union, is carried out under the same provision of the Patriot Act that enables the National Security Agency to collect nearly all American phone records, the officials said. Like the NSA program, the mass collection of financial transactions...

The commencement at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, N.Y., last month went pretty much as advertised. The orchestra played "Pomp and Circumstance," a priest gave the invocation and the keynote speaker offered advice on how to succeed.
After the diplomas were awarded, someone showed up who wasn't on the program: New York Sen. Charles Schumer.

HOUSTON - There are now more questions about the mega-theme park project that was supposed to be Houston's next Astroworld. The new concerns center around a non-profit group related to the project that received hundreds of thousands of your tax dollars.
The dream amusement park was called Earthquest Adventures and a large section of land along Highway 59 North in New Caney was supposed to be where it all came true. But there are no roller coasters or theme park attractions built there, and those who live in the area say there's little reason to believe they'll ever see them.
"It's not going to happen," said New Caney resident James Dean. "If it was, it's about a year overdue."
The East Montgomery County Improvement District (EMCID) spent more than $10 million taxpayer dollars to develop the project. That included $649,000 in donations made to a non-profit organization called Earthquest Institute. EMCID leaders describe the group as the educational arm of the theme park.
"The effort needs to be made in bringing in the theme park, and not focusing on the institute at this point," said Frank McCrady, CEO of the EMCID, during an interview.
"We say don't focus on the institute," said Local 2 Investigator Joel Eisenbaum. "But you've already funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars their way for 'bupkis'?"
"I guess you could say that," McCrady responded.
The $649,000 is gone and the non-profit institute is not even operating. Tax documents obtained by Local 2 Investigates show the organization used much of its money for salaries. In 2009, the non-profit CEO and treasurer each made more than $140,000 a year for 20-hour-a-week jobs. Local 2 also obtained signed contracts showing those two executives would each be paid a $250,000 bonus if the institute actually constructed a building inside the theme park.
Local 2 Investigates found the majority of non-profit's board of directors -- who eventually made decisions on how taxpayer dollars were spent -- also had connections to the for-profit theme park project.
The non-profit's CEO was a paid consultant for the park. The non-profit's treasurer worked for the theme park's developer. That developer, the elected chairman of the EMCID, and the founder of the park itself also served on the non-profit's board of directors.
"It all just seems very much in-house and in the family," said Leah Napoliello, an investigator for the Houston Better Business Bureau. "No one is really there governing the organization and saying where the money was going."
For two years, Napoliello says the BBB has been asking Earthquest Institute for information on how it used the money. So far, Napoliello says she's received no answers.
"Most non-profits are very clear and open about how they are spending their money," said Napoliello. "They say, 'This is where we are doing this educational program; we're helping these clients.' It's usually very straightforward, upfront and to the point."
Napoliello said she's never seen a government agency be the primary donor to a non-profit group like this. She also says she's never seen non-profit performance bonuses as high as the bonuses listed in the Earthquest Institute contracts.
McCrady couldn't provide specifics on how the non-profit institute used the taxpayer dollars or even the organization's status moving forward.
"Once again, I don't know," McCrady said. "Earthquest Institute is a non-profit that operates on its own and as far as I know, the board has not be recomposed."
The theme park's first development group went bankrupt. McCrady a new developer has until December to raise enough money to buy the land and start the building process over again.

The College is Arts and Sciences is committed to a dynamic team approach to undergraduate academic advising. As a CLAS student, your advising team will consist of three people. Your college advisor will address your needs as a student and will do their best to keep you on an efficient path to graduation. Your faculty advisor will address your needs as a scholar so that your degree is not simply a collection of courses, but the preparation you need for the career or advanced degree that waits for you beyond UIS. However, the most important member of your advising team is you.
Academic advising is an active, collaborative process that requires the combined knowledge and skills of the entire team. The more you know about your needs as a student and as a scholar, the more prepared you will be to be an active and collaborative team member. These academic advising webpages are designed to be a starting point to gather this knowledge. That isn't to suggest that you shouldn't ask your college or faculty advisors questions. Rather, the more information you gather before asking questions, the more prepared you will be to ask the best questions.
So, on behalf of the many advisors in the College of Arts and Sciences – welcome to the team!

The traditional dining table setting is all too familiar. Its importance as an everyday ritual where the bonds of culture and human relationships are formed is something unique to our species. But with the rapid growth of consumerism and the number of mouths to feed in the 21st century, what is the cost of this uniquely human taste for comfort and tradition? By using confronting but truthful images of modern-day factory farming, my artwork is intended to subvert today's desensitised attitude towards eating animals and be a reminder of what we all choose to forget at the dinner table.

Just thought I'd get some things out for all to see, for review and confirmation that it seems to make sense.
-Jack's name is Jack Kluggman, but his REAL name is Jack Landers, and is the son of one Dr. Landers, who is working with Loki/Nyarlathotep for goals unknown. Last we saw of him, he'd apparently shut his soul off permanently in order to break free of the control of a bunch of Nazi ghouls. He broke ties with Ariel, and is on the run with Hook, Maria, and Thera.
-Thera is really Helana Bloodstone aka Hel aka Incarnate of Death. She's originally from Ancient Atlantis, and has Morrigan the Incarnate of Battle for an older sister, even though Morri seems to be all of 8 years old at the moment. There's some animosity on Morri's part, perhaps stemming from the conflict between their mother and their grandmother.
-Morri, Loki, Hephaestus, Tsukuri, Cal, and untold others seem to be part of a dual movement called the "Army of Man" and "Keepers of the True Word", whose goal seems to be to assure humankinds supremacy and freewill, though this may just be a face presented to the public to curry favor.
-Tsukari and Cal are the smartasses who seem to be simply competent muscle for the Army of Man. They were around for the capture of Kevin Graves, idiot cultist, and Sirrus, before he was cybernetically enhanced and placed in a position to kill god in a subconscious suicide attempt. Tsukari is a tengu, and I think Cal is as well, but I don't remember where I got that idea.
-Hephaestus was known as a monster hunter by the name of Nichstadt in the 19th century, before a psychic attack unlocked his true memories, where upon he presumably set about seeking out other incarnates, awakening them, and forming the core of the shadowy cabal that is the Army of Man. Dude also has a scarred eye and a big metal arm.
-Graves... is complicated, convoluted, and not completely known, so we'll skip him for now, other than mentioning he was leader of a joke group for the Army of Man.
-Most notable about the group was that one of the members was a spectacled woman by the name of Anna Nichstadt. She may or may not be related to Hephaestus. (And bacon may or may not be related to ham...)
Dr. Landers has been working on some sort of secret project involving altering humans to unlock their ultimate potential. Or something. Apparently there are five "children", of which Jack is the Third, and an Elizabeth is the Fifth.
Just on a guess, I'm thinking Liza Castillo, the girl with the missing bits who works for Control, is the Fifth child. This is mainly based on the talk between Doug and the Mysterious Spooky Voices about how the Fifth child was too paranoid for their purposes, and the thought of "Who else have we met who could take out a contingent of Nazi Ghouls and is insanely paranoid?"
Liza is the science experiment sister to Jack who is the son of Landers who's bunking with Loki who's working with Hephaestus who's (probably) the father of Anna who works with Graves who's always getting mixed up with Sirrus who played the devil to Thera's angel and Thera is sister to Morrigan who was in Friday the 13th with KEVIN BACON!
So you see, it all ties together. Well except for Duke and Kain, but they can just go hang, you know?[/i]

Artwork File Uploading Tips
- What files should I include with my order?
- What is Preflighting?
- Can you make a correction to my job after I have submitted files?
- File Compression
What files should I include with my order?
When you send us your files, please include all the elements needed for production. For some orders, that might be nothing more than one artwork file. For other, more complex orders designed in a page layout application, you should send the page layout file, all supporting graphics, and all the fonts used in the document. Many page layout applications include utilities to gather all of these elements together for you. Please refer to your application's documentation for more information.
What is Preflighting?
Preflighting is a term borrowed from the aviation industry, which describes the steps a pilot takes prior to flight to ensure the flight will be safe for the passengers on board. Similarly, the files you send are put through a printing preflight process to identify in advance any issues that could affect the quality or delay the production of your print order. Preflighting allows us to eliminate the unexpected!
Our staff will preflight all files submitted through our website and alert you to any issues that could potentially affect the production of your print order.
Can you make a correction to my job after I have submitted files?
Yes, corrections can be made at any time. But please review and proof your work carefully, because the best time to make corrections is before your print order is scheduled for production, when there is a minimal effect on the production schedule and budget. (Corrections and alterations requested after production has been scheduled may lead to production delays and increased expenses.)
File Compression
When preparing to send files to us through the website, we suggest you compress your files first. Compressing files prior to transferring them through our website has these advantages:
- Multiple files may be combined into one compressed archive file. This allows you to easily select and send just one file instead of multiple files.
- The single compressed archive file is smaller than the total size of all uncompressed files, allowing the file to reach us as fast as possible.
The ability to compress files is built into all recent computer operating systems. Here's how to compress your files. (Don't worry... you don't need to be a "geek" to do it!) Just locate the files and/or folders you wish to compress, then follow the instructions below.
Mac OS X
After selecting the files and/or folders you wish to compress, use one of these methods to create an archive of the compressed files:
- Control-click on the file selection and choose Create Archive
- Go to the Action menu (the button that looks like a gear up in the Finder window's toolbar), and choose Create Archive.
- Go to your computer's menu bar and select File > Compress (Mac OS 10.4) or File > Create Archive (Mac OS 10.5+).
Your computer will create a new file, with the file extension ".zip." This is the compressed file you should select to send to us.
Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7
After selecting the files and/or folders you wish to compress, right-click the file selection, scroll down to the "Send to" menu item and then selected "Compressed (zipped) Folder" from the submenu that is revealed. Your computer will create a new file, with the file extension ".zip." This is the compressed file you should select to send to us.

New Zealand's Supreme Court has rejected a claim the Inland Revenue Department fraudulently won its $3.7 billion tax case involving the 'Trinity' forestry scheme.
The court bench, comprising Chief Justice Sian Elias and Justices Andrew Tipping, John McGrath, William Young and Thomas Gault, upheld an appeal by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, and restored a High Court decision maintaining the tax department's interpretation about tax deductions made by the scheme's investors. The decision was delivered by Justice McGrath in Wellington today.
The tax department has previously said the scheme would have cost taxpayers up to $3.7 billion over the 50-year-lifespan of the investment scheme.
A group of Trinity investors, including the scheme's architect Garry Muir, claimed the IRD "deliberately refrained from putting material facts and law" before the High Court in the original proceeding, "so as to secure a judgment that department officers knew would not have been available if there had been full and frank disclosure of the legal position," the judgment said.
The group, led by Muir's Redcliffe Forestry Venture, said the commissioner "knowingly and wrongly applied a depreciation allowance to expenditure incurred by the Trinity investors" under a certain provision of the Income Tax Act.
The Supreme Court judges rejected the accusation, saying the "Redcliffe cannot credibly claim that the litigation strategy attributed to the commissioner compromised its ability to mount an argument on the subpart's applicability."
Because Redcliffe challenged the legal correctness of a Supreme Court ruling, underpinned by the allegation of fraud, it erred in filing a new proceeding in the High Court, the judgment said.
"What Redcliffe alleges does not constitute a case capable of leading the High Court to set aside the 2004 judgment," it said.
Redcliffe and the other Trinity investors were ordered to pay $15,000 in costs with reasonable disbursements, and reversed a costs order in their favour in the Court of Appeal.

People feel possessive of books because they help form our beliefs. How couples keep, display and discard books can be the stuff of heated debate.
After bickering with her husband nonstop for a week recently, Amber Fallon made a huge sacrifice for love. Four books.
This represented an appeasement in the ongoing book battles between Ms. Fallon and her husband, John. Both are big readers. Both own many books. His are alphabetized in a floor-to-ceiling bookcase in their bedroom. Hers take up three of his shelves, fill their home office and stack precariously in a "To Be Read" pile in a corner.
When books start to spill onto tables and countertops, Mr. Fallon—who gives away many of his books once he's read them—demands answers. Why does his wife need two copies of the same title? Why keep ones she's already read? "She believes in some form of immortality by having books around," says Mr. Fallon, 39, a systems technician.

Spring Break - Take On the Open Seas Spring Break vacations have come a long way since Connie Francis sang the movie title song "Where the Boys Are…" beckoning students (especially the boys) to come to Florida. Today, cruise lines have found a way to entice students and parents into actually taking a Spring Break vacation together. Once onboard, kids and parents can get just enough space to do their own thing, and enjoy some quality family time together.
The Spring Break period usually falls sometime during March and April; however, certain areas of the country may differ. The Caribbean has become a popular cruising destination for families and many ships sail out of Miami, a vacation hot spot for parents and Spring Break students alike.
The cruising concept has gained popularity with families during Spring Break time because today's ships are offering something for every member of the family, from accommodations to shipboard amenities.
Active families can relish in activities ilke ice-skating rinks, rock-climbing walls, water parks, mini golf, family-friendly cafes, golf simulators, basketball courts, and much more, depending on the ship.
But the emphasis on something for everyone doesn't stop with the onboard amenities —it extends to the variety of onboard accommodations. There has been a huge push for family-oriented suites in the past several years. Depending on the ship, they can hold eight, ten, or even more than a dozen people comfortably...probably larger than your first apartment! They come complete with separate sleep areas, multiple bathrooms, extra space for stretching out and playing games, and super-sized private decks. All those little extras come in handy when teens, younger siblings and parents are sharing accommodations. Ask for wheelchair accessible accommodations as well, if you have a loved one with limited accessibility traveling with you.
A Spring Break cruise may be just the answer for your family if you are looking for a value-oriented and safe Spring Break solution.

The interactive timeline above charts a series of events beginning with a pipe bomb explosion at a Marine 5k race in Seaside Park, New Jersey, Saturday. Hours later, a device exploded in or near a large bin on a packed block in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, injuring 29 people. Another device was found nearby.
Late Sunday, five devices were found in a trash can near a train station in Elizabeth, New Jersey. A robot trying to disarm the devices inadvertently detonated one, causing an explosion. No one was injured in the New Jersey cases. Suspect Ahmad Rahami, a 28-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen born in Afghanistan, was taken into custody following a gun battle with police Monday.
