Eurogamer reports back from Ubidays 08 that a demonstrator let slip word that voice commands will be able to order around your fellow fighter pilots in Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.
"Demonstrator Andrei Costin spilled the beans at the recent UbiDays event in Paris, but avoided elaborating on exactly how it will all work; we expect it will be a blend of EndWar and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter," writes Eurogamer.
Well alright, we got a hands-on at Ubidays. but apparently didn't liquor up/coerce/beat our demonstrator into divulging that kind of tidbit. Hrm. H.A.W.X. is due for a "holiday 2008" release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, giving everyone six months to figure it all out.
"Costin pitched the game as its own blend of arcade and simulation," Eurogamer added, "and told us that he hopes he can capture the camaraderie and exhilaration exhibited in renowned Hollywood tale, Top Gun."
Two words: "Jester's dead!!" Wonder if your wingmen will respond to mid-air bravado, too.
H.A.W.X. Squads to be Voice Controllable [Eurogamer]

Lippert's three-pointer with 1:13 remaining propelled Harvard to the victory at Penn (Gil Talbot).
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Victoria Lippert scored 17 points and hit a three-pointer with just 1:13 remaining to take the lead for good as the Harvard women's basketball team defeated Penn, 57-53, Saturday night at the Palestra.
Lippert shot 7-of-11 from the field, including 2-of-4 from three, and hit her biggest shot of the night with the game on the line. The junior came off a screen at the top of the key to bury the trey, breaking a 50-50 tie, the seventh tie of the night, and helping Harvard (14-11, 7-4 Ivy League) secure the victory.
Emma Golen added 13 points and was 4-of-8 from behind the arc while Christine Clark chipped in 12. Miriam Rutzen grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds, the fifth time this season she has recorded at least 10. Harvard shot 43.5 percent for the game and was 11-of-13 from the line.
Alyssa Baron scored a game-high 20 points as Penn (11-14, 4-7 Ivy League) combined to shoot 36.2 percent from the field. The victory improves Harvard to 8-6 on the road and secures the team's first winning record on the road since 2008-09.
The game started at a frantic pace as the teams combined for 19 points just over four minutes in. Brogan Berry got the scoring started with a layup and Victoria Lippert followed with a jumper on the team's next trip down the court for a 4-2 lead. Back-to-back three-pointers by Jess Knapp and Alyssa Baron put Penn in front, 8-4, before a Golen three and Clark layup put Harvard back on top, 9-8. A pair of Berry free throws gave the Crimson an 11-10 edge, but the Quakers responded with five straight points for a 15-11 lead.
Clark's jumper in the lane made it a one-point game, 17-16, with 11:46 to play in the frame and a Golen three from the top of the key regained the lead for the Crimson, 19-17. Elise Gordon extended it to a 21-17 advantage with a step-back jumper. A Lippert layup moved the score to 25-20, but the Quakers closed the half out on an 11-3 run to take a 31-28 lead into the break.
Lippert led the Crimson with nine points on 4-of-5 shooting at the intermission as Harvard shot 11-of-19 as a team. Penn hit just 12-of-31 attempts from the field but went 7-of-13 from behind the arc to build its lead. Baron paced all scorers with 11 first half points.
After a Penn bucket on the first possession of the half, Harvard scored seven unanswered points to take the lead once again, 35-33. Golen began the stretch with her third three-pointer of the night and Rutzen tied the score at 35 with a pair of free throws. A Clark layup gave the Crimson the two-point margin.
Berry gave Harvard a four-point cushion with a 15-foot jumper and Lippert moved the score to 44-37 with and and-one off a no-look feed from Missy Mullins. The Quakers used a 6-0 run to pull within one, 44-43, with 7:19 to play before Golen scored four straight points for a 48-43 edge. Penn retied the score at 48 after Baron scored five unanswered points, and with under 2:00 to play the teams were tied at 50-50.
Lippert broke the final tie with the team's sixth triple of the night and Berry made a strong drive to the basket to put the score at 55-51 with 0:35 remaining. Clark iced the game at the free-throw line, giving Harvard the final 57-53 margin.
Harvard will wrap up its regular season with a three-game homestand beginning Friday, March 2 against Columbia at 7 p.m. The Crimson will celebrate Senior Day Saturday, March 3 against Cornell at 6 p.m. and will host Dartmouth in the regular season finale Tuesday, March 6 at 7 p.m.
Game Notes: Harvard remains one-half game behind Yale for second place in the Ivy League standings following the Bulldogs' 69-58 win at Cornell … Saturday's game marked head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith's 800th as head coach of the Crimson … Harvard improved to 8-6 on the road with the win, securing the team's first winning road record since going 10-5 in 2008-09 … Miriam Rutzen grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds, marking the fith time this season she has grabbed at least 10.

King of fruits!!
Yeah, it was another dinner table discussion!. We were discussing about food addiction and I was a bit blanked out! I had been a generalist food lover and could not immediately bring up any food which i crave for.
I was scratching my head to give the right answer when my turn comes up on the dinner table. As always, i was supported ably by the 7 year old's clarification – "whichever you can keep on eating, then that is the food you like most". While this was a good input, i was again thinking…and i can hear the little one listing the favorites – "almonds, ………….juice, mangoes".
i can easily pick up the three which i heard – almonds – for that matter any nuts (something do with being nutty?!), juices and infact any fresh fruit juice and then……..mangoes….
Mangoes, the king of fruits……….i think that is it!!!………it has been inbuilt – the love for mangoes……..i still remember the mango tree in our neighbours house – my favorite abode during the summer holidays………….
so much of planning went into it……….I had to finish the morning chores on time so that my parents allow me to step outside the house…….then get into neighbours house through our connecting backyard….patiently wait for the uncle to get off to office (better to avoid these uncles as there is a possibility of they updating appa about my mango mania!)…..intelligently convince aunty to let me climb on her well and rooftops……….then the actual climbing….. on the well and on the tin roof of their bathroom and then an agile jump on to the tree branch and the slow climb to the main trunk…… the V shape natural seat was the best place to sit and enjoy those raw crispy mangoes straight from the branches…………..
YES, it is MANGO!

Two US Masters Medalists Mackey and North Honored by IJF for Contribution to Masters Judo
Soon after collecting their medals on the podium at the Grand Masters Judo World Championships in Miami, Bert Mackey and Dr. Sandy North were called front-and-center over the loud speakers for a different reason.
The International Judo Federation honored and awarded these two men with a plaque and applause for their tireless devotion to the development of masters-level judo in the world.
The timing could not have been more eloquent. Mackey and North had just taken silver and gold medals respectively at the tournament they'd worked so hard to build and support.
There to watch North was his mom, Joyce North of Pembrook Pines, Florida. "My mother hasn't seen me fight in 40 years," said North, who made Hollywood, Florida, his home 19 years ago. "She came here like a trooper, got a seat, saw some old friends, got a chance to see all my fights, win my gold with an ippon. Then she saw me win this award… That's nice."
North recalled years of hard work to build these tournaments, "arranging brackets, late meetings on a Friday night, making it happen," North said.
The reward, he described, has been supporting a sport that can begin for someone at the age of 7 or 8 and "then continuing into their 80s. That's unheard of," North said.
North has been a lifelong competitor and figures that he has attended all the IJF Grand Masters since the first, predecessor tournament, the World Masters, first began in Canada more than a decade ago.
"After I realized what the award was, it was an incredible honor," said Mackey. "I am kind of at a loss for words to explain … It's quite an honor to get this from such a high level."
Mackey hails from the Northwest of the United States where he has supported programs not only for the masters of the sport but the youth, building the foundation of programs that fostered elites like 2012 Olympians Travis Stevens and Bronze Medalist Marti Malloy. As a young boy of 10 or 11 years, Mackey was one of the original members of Budokan Judo in Seattle in 1968.
The award was presented to Mackey and Dr. North by Andrei Bondor, Director of the IJF Veteran Commission from Romania.
"Bert Mackey and Sandy North have all these years been big supporters of USA Judo, but most important, they have dedicated the last eight years of their life to growing the masters movement in the United States," said Jose Rodriguez, USA Judo's CEO. "Every time we have a national championship, they are always there. They are always there for the athletes, and there for USA Judo."
Rodriguez said, "When the IJF approached us and said they wanted to award this plaque to two people in the United States who have helped the masters movement, we decided without hesitation that it should be Bert Mackey and Sandy North. They are exemplary of the people in this organization who make programs and projects like this successful."
So the Grand Masters in Miami was the culmination not only of training for their competition there, but also hard work building the tournament.
Both North and Mackey fought in the M6 age group, 55 to 59 years old. North took gold in the 66 kg. division and Mackey claimed silver in the 73 kg. division.
The tournament was reviewed as a huge success for USA Judo and master's competition. Nearly 900 athletes registered for the Grand Masters this year from nearly 50 different nations, some with huge turnouts like France and Brazil, each represented by nearly 80 fighters.
"Kudos to USA Judo for putting on such a beautiful event," said North, who lives in Hollywood, Florida, and trains at Budokan Judo Club in Hialeah FL, which has been a foundry of judo champions and Olympians.
Set at the luxurious Doral Golf Resort & Spa a short distance from Miami's legendary beaches, "Athletes will not forget the experience that they had here," North said.
Speaking from the venue floor, North commented, "It's incredible. You don't have it in any other spot," fighters in their 70s and 80s who have been training since children, competition with a multitude of past Olympians, "warriors here with their cauliflower ears." Year after year, the tournament has grown, competitors and their families return to find their old friends and new ones. "It's a big family," North said.

Aaron Rodgers made San Francisco pay for a draft-day snub in 2005 and the Green Bay Packers survived a second-half surge by the 49ers for a 30-24 victory. Rodgers threw touchdowns to Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson, and Ryan Grant rushed for 129 yards and a score.
The Packers (6-4) won their second straight game, rebounding from a midseason skid to emerge as a solid playoff contender going into their Thanksgiving Day date at Detroit.
Alex Smith recovered from a rough start to make things interesting with three second-half touchdowns, including rookie Michael Crabtree's first career score, but it wasn't enough for the 49ers.
The Packers' win was dampened by a left knee injury to outside linebacker Aaron Kampman and a knee injury to cornerback Al Harris. It was not immediately clear how severe their injuries were.
Backed into his end zone after the Packers downed a punt at the 2-yard line early in the fourth quarter, Smith threw an interception to Nick Collins. Rodgers took over at the 11 and converted a third down with a pass to tight end Jermichael Finley. Grant scored on first-and-goal from the 1 to give the Packers a 30-10 lead.
But Josh Morgan returned a kickoff 76 yards and Smith threw a 24-yard touchdown to Vernon Davis, cutting Green Bay's lead to 30-17 with 10:37 remaining. With Harris and Kampman still sidelined, Smith had long completions to Isaac Bruce and Crabtree on the next series, setting up a fourth-and-5 at the Green Bay 10. Smith found Frank Gore for a touchdown, cutting the lead to 30-24 with 5:56 left.
But the Packers put together a drive that included a third-down conversion by Rodgers on a sneak, allowing them to run out the clock. Rodgers was 32 of 45 for 334 yards, including 274 in the first half as the Packers took a 23-3 lead. Rodgers got a serviceable performance from his offensive line, which allowed two sacks Sunday. Coming into the game, Rodgers had taken a league-worst 41 sacks.
Although Smith's second-half rally was impressive -- he finished 16 of 33 for 227 yards -- Rodgers' performance provided further evidence that the Packers got the better end of the deal when the 49ers chose Smith with the No. 1 pick in 2005. Rodgers, who also was under consideration for the top choice, slipped all the way to the Packers at No. 24.
Next Sunday the (4-6) 49ers host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Candlestick.

Proud To Be A Smoker?
"I am a smoker." Saying that 25 years ago was a way of showing yourself to be glamorous, sophisticated, grown-up, and even intelligent. It merely meant that you had a simple practice of lighting cigarettes--a habit you shared with over half the men and over a third of the women in our country.
But times have changed! Being a smoker today makes you feel as popular as a leper in ancient times. In 25 years, smoking has gone from being a perfectly acceptable, even desirable, habit to a socially unacceptable, demoralizing behavior.
But smoking is more than a habit--it is an addiction. Being a smoker is synonymous with being a drug addict. This creates a whole new set of problems. A smoker doesn't smoke by choice, he or she has to smoke.
The smoker must smoke in certain time intervals. If not, he or she will experience withdrawal symptoms. This posed no threat 25 years ago. A smoker could smoke at home, work, restaurants, hospitals, doctors offices, actually anywhere and anytime he or she wished. It was the perfect drug for an addict. The only time a smoker faced withdrawal was through carelessness - like running out of cigarettes in the middle of the night - but this did not happen often.
However, slowly over the years more and more restrictions have been placed on where a smoker can get his or her "fix." In the beginning it was enforced by "radical" family members or friends. Restricting the smoker's right to smoke was considered to be in poor taste by most smokers and non-smokers alike. These early activists were often criticized and ostracized by those sympathetic to the smoker's plight.
But then the effects of second-hand smoke became an issue. With the possible health implication for non-smokers becoming apparent, the anti-smoking forces had powerful ammunition to support their contention that they had the right to a smoke-free environment.
More people banned smoking in their homes. Then small municipalities and whole states started regulating mandatory non-smoking areas in public places. But the strongest threat was not the restriction on smoking in public areas. A smoker could avoid such places or limit the times there.
The newest and greatest threat is now becoming an all too common reality. No-smoking rules are being enforced in the one place the smoker has to be for extended periods of time, the office where he or she works. Some employers are providing out-of-the-way areas where smokers can smoke at breaks. But other companies are totally banning smoking on the premises.
This creates the problem of 8-hour withdrawal periods on a daily basis. A smoker may wish to change his or her place of employment to avoid such regulation, but there is no guarantee that the next company won't eventually enforce a similar policy.
Today, chronic withdrawal is becoming a way of life for a smoker. Smoking is a hassle at home, at social gatherings, and now, due to the enforcement of new smoking policies, even at work. Where is it all going to end? The simple fact is that, for the smoker, it isn't. Smoking is beginning to interfere with all aspects of the smoker's life, and every smoker must now ask him or herself the same question, "Is smoking worth it?" If you don't think so, then - NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!

|Condition or disease
|Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
|Procedure: Ventriculo-peritonal shunting
|Not Applicable
The Johns Hopkins Adult Hydrocephalus Program evaluates approximately 250 new patients per year for hydrocephalus and associated disorders, resulting in the new diagnosis of hydrocephalus in about 100 patients annually. After treatment with either shunt surgery or third ventriculostomy, virtually all patients are followed on a regular basis by physicians in the program (Dr. Michael Williams, neurologist, and Dr. Daniele Rigamonti, neurosurgeon, both involved in this project).
These patients represent an ideal cohort to study the effect of hydrocephalus on anterior pituitary function. In addition, as data on intracranial pressure is available for all of them, evaluation of pituitary function would allow us to determine whether the level of intracranial pressure correlates with the likelihood of pituitary failure.
We propose to study 20 subjects of both sexes with NPH, aged 18-80 years over a period of 18 months. They will be recruited by direct advertising among the patients cared for by the Adult Hydrocephalus Program. Patients with hydrocephalus will be studied twice (6-12 months apart) whether or not they undergo shunting.
- In addition to the comprehensive neurological history and physical examination, further history will be obtained, with particular attention to sexual function and libido in males and menstrual history in women of fertile age, will be collected.
- After overnight fasting, an indwelling catheter will be inserted in a peripheral vein. Blood for baseline hormonal evaluation (8-9 AM) including: serum free T4 (FT4), TSH, cortisol, GH, IGF-1, prolactin, LH, FSH, Estradiol (in females) and total testosterone (in males). Menstruating females will be studied during follicular phase. Serum IGF-1, testosterone, estradiol and gonadotropin levels will be interpreted in accordance with the patients' age.
- All subjects will undergo GH stimulation test by combination of GHRH (1 mcg/kg bolus) and arginine (0.5 gm/kg over 30', maximal dose 30 gm). Blood will be dawn at time 30', 60', 90' and 120' after the GHRH bolus injection. The GHRH+arginine test is the most widely used test to determine GH reserve in adults, independently from their age (14). Normal response is a peak serum GH > 9 ng/ml. Both GHRH and arginine are FDA-approved for this purpose, and have no significant side effects (GHRH may cause transient itching and flushing).
- An AM cortisol below 5 mcg/dl will be considered diagnostic of adrenal insufficiency. Conversely, a value above 15 mcg/dl will be interpreted as indicating normal adrenal function. For serum cortisol values between 5 and 15 mcg/dl, subjects will be studied on a separate day by low-dose (1 mcg) ACTH stimulation test. Blood for serum cortisol measurement will be obtained at baseline and after 30' from ACTH injection. The low-dose ACTH stimulation test is safe, easy to perform, has high sensitivity for partial secondary adrenal insufficiency, and has been recently used in patient with TBI. Normal response is a serum cortisol at 30' > 18.0 mcg/dl.
Subjects who have shunt surgery will undergo a second study of pituitary function not earlier than 6 months and no later than 1 year from the procedure. We will identify the degree of clinical improvement by documenting change in gait with the Tinetti Gait Assessment Tool, and change in dementia with the Mini-Mental-Status exam. If there is sufficient sample size in the clinically improved and unimproved patients, we will compare between-group results.
Patients who have been on systemic glucocorticoids (GC) for longer than 3 weeks during the previous 12 months will be excluded, as GC may cause suppression of hypothalamic-adrenal axis. In subjects who are on phenytoin, unbound T4 will be measured by equilibrium dialysis, as phenytoin may interfere with direct unbound T4 measurement. Subjects already on L-thyroxine replacement will be excluded.

Just two days after the death of tech titan Steve Jobs, it was learned that Sony had acquired the film rights to his authorized biography. And now comes the entirely unsurprising news of their first choice to adapt the tome.
Sony wants Aaron Sorkin to write the screenplay about Jobs' life, reported 24 Frames. When you consider that Sorkin has previously won an Oscar for penning the tech-heavy "The Social Network", as well as co-wrote the very successful business-masquerading-as-baseball film "Moneyball", one would be hard-pressed to think of a better fit for the project.
Sorkin has made a career of penning mercurial jerk/geniuses, of which Jobs was clearly one. In addition to revolutionizing almost every corner of media consumption, he could be a notoriously cruel taskmaster, lied to his old partner Steve Wozniak, and at one point in his twenties denied his parentage of a child for two year. He was a complicated guy, to say the least,
"There are parts of his life and personality that are extremely messy, and that's the truth. You shouldn't whitewash it," Jobs' wife, Laurene, told Isaacson. "He's good at spin, but he also has a remarkable story, and I'd like to see that it's all told truthfully."
If Sorkin can spin baseball stat geeks and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg into compelling drama, Jobs should present him with no challenge at all.

Where next for QE?
This infographic explores whether quantitative easing has achieved its intended goals and what next once the QE party is over?
What has happened to all that QE?
The Federal Reserve introduced a quantitative easing (QE) programme in 2008 to help prevent the collapse of the global financial system in the wake of the credit crisis.
The Bank of England followed shortly after.
Since then the European Central Bank, Bank of Japan and People's Bank of China have also adopted some form of stimulus to help boost economic growth.
But has QE done its job? Where has all that extra money gone? And what is the likely impact on investments?
As some central banks look to "normalise" monetary policy the global economy faces a leap into the unknown.

I am screwed for a holiday dress.
Right after I made that post, the lovely Ozlem from Igigi e-mailed to see if I wanted to review some more dresses, all of which would be appropriate for a holiday party. I said hell yes, and she sent along the green velvet wrap, Lucille dress in red, and bless her little heart, she even found me one of the sold-out short lace dresses — though in green, not red. Surely there would be something I'd want to keep in that pile, right? So I stopped thinking about it.
The dresses arrived. All lovely (review to follow), but none of them work on me. For starters, the yoke wrap was a fluke — 14/16 is definitely too big for me all over in their other dresses. (For reference, they fit me very much like typical 16Ws, and I usually wear a 14W or straight 16.) Their new 12s are more my size, and Ozlem sent the green velvet and the Lucille in 12, but neither one hung quite right on me. The Lucille is just not my cut — it makes me look short(er) and pregnant, and the 12 fits my shoulders but, like most things that fit my shoulders, is not quite big enough for the Rack of Doom. The green velvet is SO CLOSE, just as I thought when I saw it on the website, but Al and I ultimately agreed it's only a meh+ at best (again, because of how the cut looks on me, not the dress itself), and I can do better.
Problem is, I haven't done better. When I realized I wouldn't be keeping any of the Igigis, I went back to the Coldwater Creek website. But by that point, the purple velvet was sold out in 16, and of course I didn't just listen to you guys and get the red polka-dotted one. I gambled on the brown velvet, which, like the green velvet, was SO CLOSE, but not quite right on me. (Rack of Doom strikes again.) Fucking desperate at this point, I ordered (and express-shipped) a simple, somewhat dowdy LBD from Jessica London — which I somehow convinced myself was velvet, even though A) boy, it's not, and B) it says so right there. I even got it in two sizes, so I'd certainly have one that fits.
Yeah, no. The fabric is fucking awful, the dress is cut ALL wrong for me, and neither one really fits anyway.
So now, I'm flagellating myself with shouldas like you wouldn't fucking believe. I shoulda…
- Gotten the Monif C. dress I bought LAST YEAR altered to actually fit me;
- Ordered this $29 velvet wrap from Silhouettes on spec;
- Gone with a simple, somewhat dowdy, ACTUALLY velvet dress from the ever-reliable Eddie Bauer as the back-up;
- Ordered everything I was interested in from Coldwater Creek before they started selling out, and just returned whatever didn't work;
- Etc.
Since Al's holiday office party is Friday night in fucking Indianapolis, and we leave tomorrow, my chances of finding the perfect dress before then are awful slim. Not to mention, my credit cards are damn near maxed from all the dresses I now have to return. Which means I'll be going in exactly the unremarkable old black wrap dress I wanted to avoid when I started looking for a holiday dress goddamn WEEKS AGO! GRRRRR.
But then, I do have all day on Friday to shop. (In Indy. But still.) And the credit cards aren't quite maxed yet.
Wish me luck.

Inspired by video game aesthetics of the 80s, was originally intended for display applications, but it works fine on paper as well. The font has been conceived in 20 px size allowing more freedom to manipulate it and making a big difference with other fonts of its kind, this difference it's more evident in Dixplay Black. As a result, it's optimized for screen use at 20 px and its multiples. Spacing is one of the most outstanding aspects of Dixplay. While pixel fonts doesn't have kerning pairs, Dixplay offers more than 300 manually done that fit perfectly to the grid. It is available in Open Type format and supports Western European Languages that uses the Latin alphabet.


text: June 13, 2014 at 6:01 AM Boogaloo at the Zoo with MSM & W | Concert preview Posted by Paul de Barros We love playing zoos," joshes Hammond B-3 organ player John Medeski, whose trio, Medeski, Martin & Wood, swells to a quartet with guitarist John Scofield at the Woodland Park Zoo on Wednesday, June 18. "We don't get to play for giraffes that often. They definitely have the best view." Actually, bands play closer to the emus and wallabies at ZooTunes. But never mind. If they can hop, they should be able to groove. They'll have four first-rate teachers, listening to Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood, who kick off the zoo's always delightful outdoor-concert series in the North Meadow. Medeski and his pals Billy Martin (drums) and Chris Wood (bass) developed an audience for their jazz/rock sound by doing hundreds of club dates in the 1990s, rock-band style. But when funky ex-Miles Davis guitarist John Scofield recruited them for his 1997 album, "A Go Go," a new dimension opened up. Sco's irresistible lines flow through the trio's array of electronic effects like a sonic braid. Scofield is an encyclopedia of masterful grooves, as last year's extraordinary "Uberjam Deux" demonstrated in spades. The new MSM & W project, due in September, is called "Juice," inspired by the beats of boogaloo, a funky, fun Latin style that arose in the 1960s. Jazz heads know boogaloo from Lee Morgan's jukebox hit, "The Sidewinder," though Latin fans may be more partial to Pucho and His Latin Soul Brothers. New Orleanians may justifiably claim the style as just another street beat that evolved in the Crescent City. Medeski calls it "Latin light," in the sense that the music has a light, airy feeling and a strong back beat. It's such a natural point of departure for Scofield and the trio, Medeski wonders why they didn't think of it a long time ago. "But all this African-based music in the Americas, from South America on up, has been inspiring for us," he said. "It's an endless bounty of music, especially when it comes to rhythm." One of the nice surprises on "Juice" is a cover of the Doors anthem, "Light My Fire," an idea Medeski says may have come to Wood when they heard the song in an elevator. "We talked about it and we realized we could do a totally cool version," he said. "We reinvented it." "Juicy Lucy" is another high point, featuring the gauzy spider web of Scofield's guitar encountering Medeski's reverbed Hammond B-3. "Helium" suggests a slightly demented Brazilian parade; a cover of Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" gets a reggae vibe. Medeski says the latter started out as a recreational jam, but they liked it so much they decided to leave it on the album. MM & W doesn't tour as much as it used to, partly because the members are busy with other projects. Seattleites have been especially partial to Wood's folksy group, the Wood Brothers. Medeski issued a much praised solo piano album last year. "I don't think any of us expected to be together 23 years," says Medeski. "But it's still as fun and surprising as it's always been." Keep an eye out for the giraffes perking up their ears. Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 18, at the Woodland Park Zoo, 601 N. 59th St., Seattle; $25 (548-2500 or www.zoo.org).

The U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA)'s recent report, "Climate Change Connections: Gender and Population's" linkage between access to family planning and reproductive healthcare and climate change has led to some troubling analysis regarding population control. According to the overview of the report,
The world's population is forecast to grow from today's 6.7 billion to between 8.0 and 10.5 billion by 2050. The majority of this growth is likely to be concentrated in areas and among populations—poor, urban and coastal—that are already highly
vulnerable to climate change impacts. Population growth typically means increased emissions. However, demographic factors such as household size, age structure of the population and urbanization also affect emissions patterns and energy use.
Further, unsustainable consumption and per capita emissions are generally much higher in rich, industrialized countries. In this context, it's important to remember that population is not just about numbers, it's about people.
Many of the policies that affect population trends—such as more educational opportunities for girls, greater economic opportunities for women and expanded access to reproductive health and family planning—can also reduce vulnerability to
climate change impacts and slow the growth of greenhouse gas emissions, helping to ensure adequate energy and sustainable development for all.
Yet as I pointed out last week,
The U.N. Population Fund acknowledged it had no proof of the effect that population control would have on climate change. "The linkages between population and climate change are in most cases complex and indirect," the report said.
It also said that while there is no doubt that "people cause climate change," the developing world has been responsible for a much smaller share of world's greenhouse gas emissions than developed countries.
Nonetheless, articles such as this from Agence France Presse, were quick to focus on reducing births in developing countries:
In the world's poorest countries, where 99 percent of the growth of the world's population will occur over the next four decades, reduced fertility would be a boon for adaptation.
It would mean fewer demands on the environment and fewer people exposed to water stress, floods, poor harvests, bad storms and loss of their homes.
"How Niger is going to feed a population growing from 11 million today to 50 million in 2050 in a semi-arid country which may be facing climate change is unclear," Lord Adair Turner, a British businessman and academic, observed crisply.
While it has been excruciatingly difficult for women in poorer countries to gain access to family planning because of fundamentalist governments, the influence of religious institutions, the U.S. Global Gag Order, etc. despite overwhelming evidence that family planning would greatly increase women's empowerment and well-being, it is disturbing that reproductive empowerment is now being touted as a panacea for combating climate change.
It is instructive to look at which countries have the most people:
- China – 1,330,044,544
- India – 1,147,995,904
- United States – 303,824,640
- Indonesia – 237,512,352
- Brazil – 196,342,592
- Pakistan – 172,800,048
- Bangladesh – 153,546,896
- Nigeria – 146,255,312
- Russia – 140,702,096
- Japan – 127,288,416
and at those which are the biggest polluters:
Country Emissions (million tons CO2):
- China 6,027
- United States 5,769
- Russia1,587
- India 1,324
- Japan 1,236
- Germany 798
- Canada 572
- Britain 523
- South Korea 488
- Mexico 437
Per-capita emissions (tons CO2/capita):
- United States 19.1
- Canada 17.37
- Russia11.21
- South Korea 10.09
- Germany 9.71
- Japan 9.68
- Britain 8.6
- South Africa 7.27
- France 5.81
- China 4.57
In countries like the U.S., Germany, Japan, Britain, France and Canada, access to birth control is widespread, and China's one child policy has clearly decreased the number of births in that country but yet these countries are top polluters. In fact these lists don't even include poorer countries with the least amount of access to family planning. So where is the connection?
Going back to the paragraphs I highlighted above, what concerns me is that while acknowledging that the U.S. and China are the worst offenders, the concern seems to be for poorer, darker countries where populations are expected to increase significantly even though they don't make an appearance on the list of countries which are contributing the most to the degradation of the planet.
Cut to the punch, in all these decades that we have been polluting like there's no tomorrow, the more developed nations have been practicing a de facto kind of population control in poorer countries by not providing the necessary funds to combat malaria, hunger and HIV/AIDS. We've had little concern about the maternal mortality that kills hundreds of thousands of women in poor countries every year and we've done little to empower women in these nations.
To be clear, you'll get no argument from me that less humans would in general be better for the health of the planet. And unquestionably, we need to address the gendered impacts of climate change (which, incidentally are thoroughly detailed in the UNFPA report). But, and particularly against the backdrop of abortion rights being under the worst siege in decades in the U.S., linking population control and reproductive empowerment is extremely troublesome. Betsy Hartmann puts it well:
A world of difference exists between services that treat women as population targets and those based on a feminist model of respectful, holistic, high-quality care.
There is no question that better access to reproductive services is desperately needed and that empowering women is crucial in addressing climate change. But equating family planning with population control is disingenuously patriarchal and a slippery and dangerous assertion for women.

Charlize Theron Among Stars Joining Today's '#GivingTuesday Movement'
A diverse group of musicians, actors, athletes, artists and the nation's top creative talents are joining the #GivingTuesday movement to help inspire the first national day dedicated to giving coinciding with the Holiday season. Instead of focusing solely on sales and shopping, these celebrities are supporting some of the country's most innovative charities, volunteer organizations, global campaigns and community groups as they "get out the give" this November 27. With more than 2,000 partner organizations in all 50 states, there are many ways these men and women are building awareness and support for issues ranging from Hurricane Sandy relief to children's education to women's health to aid for veterans…and myriad causes in between. A few examples of some of the top stars who are supporting their favorite charities include:
Grammy Award winning band, Linkin Park, and Music for Relief are premiering a new video cut to one of their song to help tell the story of energy poverty and are asking their fans to be a part of the solution. The band is asking fans to share the video with friends and to make a donation as a unique holiday gift to friends and family this season to provide clean energy solutions for people who have no access to electricity.
Marie Osmond, co-founder of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, is the face of the charity's new holiday fundraising program: GiveMiracles.org. Marie will be talking up #GivingTuesday during a number of confirmed media interviews promoting the Donny and Marie Christmas Show on Monday, November 26. She'll explain how for as little as $10 or as much as $12 million, #GivingTuesday do-gooders can choose the perfect pediatric gift for their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital on GiveMiracles.org.
Steve Nash, Los Angeles Lakers point guard is urging fans and friends of the Steve Nash Foundation, which helps children to access critical health and education resources, to support the United Nations Foundation's Nothing But Netscampaign this #GivingTuesday.
Victoria Justice will announce a GirlRaiser challenge for Girl Up on Social Media and via a Huffington Post Impact blog that will run on November 21. This GirlRaiser will have a goal of raising $20,000 for Girl Up in order to provide girls abroad with the tools they need to go to school, be healthy, stay safe, and become leaders. To further incentivize participation, a new single and music video "Girl Up," will be released when the goal is met.
Susan Sarandon will be featured by MSN on its Causes page on Nov. 27, #GivingTuesday, as part of her support for Heifer International. The Q&A with the Academy Award-winning actress delves into her reasons for giving to Heifer International, as well as her own gift-giving traditions. MSN Causes enables easy ways to give and shares inspiring stories about people who have changed the world through their generosity.
Penelope Cruz and La Tienda's Campaign For Spain are raising much needed funds for the Federation of Spanish Food Banks. The organization is asking everyone to be a part of #GivingTuesday and remember those in need.
Oxfam America will be enlisting the help of a few key celebrity ambassadors to promote #GivingTuesday and Oxfam's gift-giving program, Oxfam Unwrapped. Actors Kristin Davis, Djimon Hounsou, and Minnie Driver, among others, will be spreading the word about #GivingTuesday by sharing the message of "You are what you give."

How #GivingTuesday was Born: Seeing an opportunity to channel the generous spirit of the holiday season to inspire action around charitable giving, a group of friends, partners and philanthropy experts, led by the 92nd Street Y, came together to find ways to promote and celebrate the great American tradition of giving. Thought leaders in philanthropy, social media and grassroots organizing joined with 92nd Street Y to explore what is working in modern philanthropy and how to expand these innovations throughout the philanthropic sector. The concept gained steam, and by bringing together a group of founding partners—including the United Nations Foundation, DonorsChoose.org, Mashable, Blackbaud, charity: water, GlobalGiving, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), Kiva, Darden Restaurant Group, Groupon, Unilever, the Case Foundation, United Way and VentureThree Capital—a nationwide series of discussions helped inform the #GivingTuesday approach and built the movement. Each week over the Summer and Fall of 2012, new organizations joined the movement and offered creative ways people could embrace #GivingTuesday and collaborate in giving efforts to create more meaningful results.
A team of influencers has been advising #GivingTuesday organizers to discuss the innovative ways that people are approaching giving during challenging economic times, along with how Americans can give smarter and use new media to encourage positive change in their communities. Currently, more than 1,000 corporate and nonprofit organizations have committed to participate in the initiative. #GivingTuesday is endorsed by Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy, Dorothy A. Johnson Center on Philanthropy, Giving Institute, Giving USA Foundation and InterAction. Charity Navigator and GuideStar are serving as Charity Advisors. VolunteerMatch is a volunteer advisor to #GivingTuesday.
About #GivingTuesday
#GivingTuesday is a movement to celebrate giving and provide incentives to give. It will begin with a national day of giving on November 27, 2012. This first-of-its-kind effort harnesses the collective power of a unique blend of partners—charities, families, businesses and individuals—to transform how people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season.
#GivingTuesday is inspiring people to take collaborative action to improve their local communities, to give back in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they celebrate and to help create a better world. #GivingTuesday is harnessing the power of social media to create a national moment around the holidays that is dedicated to giving, similar to the way Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become days that are synonymous with holiday shopping.
A team of recognized experts and influencers, initially convened by leaders of 92nd Street Y and supported by a core group of founding partners, are spearheading this effort. Founding partners include United Nations Foundation, Case Foundation, DonorsChoose.org, Mashable, Blackbaud, charity: water, GlobalGiving, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), Kiva, Darden Restaurant Group, Groupon, Unilever and VentureThree Capital. Leaders in philanthropy, social media, innovative giving, grassroots organizing, marketing and communications are providing counsel and resources to help build this movement.

DVD previews: 'Cloud Atlas,' 'Texas Chainsaw,' 'Beware of Mr. Baker,' more
"Cloud Atlas" (R, 172 minutes, Warner): At its simplest, "Cloud Atlas" tells the interlocking stories of several characters over a 500-year span. How these disparate players intersect becomes the labyrinthine game, in which each story line gets its own distinctive look and tone. Those visual cues work well in helping viewers make sense of the dizzying time-trips "Cloud Atlas" takes them on; more controversial is having the same actors, including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving and newcomer Doona Bae, portray characters in every subplot. One of the small miracles is that every actor manages to create a palpable, even memorable, character within a structure that threatens to blow apart from its own concentric force. At its most on-the-nose, the movie suffers from sanctimony that is probably inevitable when evoking the Eternal Now. At its best, though, "Cloud Atlas" represents just the kind of nerve and ingenuity that movies so desperately need these days. Contains violence, profanity, sexuality, nudity and some drug use. Extras: "A Film Like No Other" on how directors Tom Tykwer and Andy and Lana Wachowski worked together. Also, on Blu-ray: "Everything Is Connected," a deeper look into the subplots' intersecting threads; "Spaceships, Slaves and Sextets" making-of featurettes; "The Impossible Adaptation," "The Bold Science Fiction of Cloud Atlas" and other featurettes.
"Texas Chainsaw" (R, 92 minutes, Lionsgate): This 3D sequel picks up where other recent massacres have left off, manufacturing a reason for Heather to drag three of her 20-something friends to Newt, Texas. She's a surviving member of the slaying Sawyer clan, the inbreds who gave birth to and protected the hulking Leatherface. After a brief opening summary of the "end" of the Sawyers, "Chainsaw" then gets down to the bloody business at hand: chainsawing. That menacing power tool is the star as Leatherface chases these fit and trim young folks who always find something to trip over. There are plenty of 3D shove-the-saw-at-the-camera moments in director John Luessenhop's movie manual. But he mangles even the basics of making these many murders seem frightening. In the decades since Tobe Hooper's genuinely shocking original film, loosely based on the murderous rampage of non-Texan Ed Gein, the sequels have been dumb-downed into stupid splatter-fests. Strong grisly violence and language throughout. Extras: commentary with Hooper and producer Carl Mazzocone; "Chainsaw alumni" audio commentary with stars Bill Moseley, Gunnar Hansen, Marilyn Burns and John Dugan; a legacy featurette that looks back at the 40-year history of the series with Hooper; "Resurrecting the Saw" featurette; "The Old Homestead" featurette; "Leatherface 2013" interview with actor Dan Yeager on his interpretation of the role; a 3D creation featurette; special effects and make-up featurette; cast interviews; and seven on-set making-of short subjects.
"Beware of Mr. Baker" (R, 92 minutes, Vivendi Entertainment): Jay Bulger's biographical profile of British drummer Ginger Baker (best known for his work with Cream and Blind Faith) is a fascinating character study of a brilliant and difficult musician, but it gets at a bigger problem than Baker's well-documented and long-standing addiction, violent temper, irresponsibility as a husband and father and ineptitude as a businessman. Just how much bad behavior is justified by transcendent art? A lot, if Baker's colleagues -- and Bulger -- are to be trusted. The film opens with the documentarian getting smashed in the face by his cantankerous subject, who seems to be upset by the prospect of former collaborators Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton appearing in the film. They (and others, including Baker's multiple ex-wives and children) come on camera anyway, mostly to sing Baker's praises as a prog-rock pioneer, if not a human being. Contains frequent obscenity and discussion of sex, drugs and rock and roll
Also: "Beware of Mr. Baker," "Leonie," "Back to 1942" (China), "Face 2 Face," "Frankie Go Boom," "A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III," "The Bletchley Circle" (PBS), "Jubal" (1956, The Criterion Collection), "Liz & Dick" (made-for-TV biopic), "Escape" (Norway), "3:10 to Yuma" (1957 , The Criterion Collection), "Crimewave" (1985, Shout! Factory) and "The Visitor" (Germany).
Television Series: "Dexter: The Seventh Season" "Fraggle Rock: 30th Anniversary Collection" (1983-87, all four seasons of the Jim Henson series), "Fraggle Rock: Meet The Fraggles" (the pilot and five episodes); "3rd Rock From the Sun - The Complete Series," "Roseanne: The Complete Series ," "Dance Academy" (2010/2011, Australian series on Teen Nick), "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic -- Season Two," "Power Rangers Samurai: The Sixth Ranger -- Volume 4," "Taz-Mania: Taz on the Loose Season 1 Part 1," "Team Umizoomi: Animal Heroes" (Nickelodeon) and "Wordgirl vs. the Energy Monster" (animated series from Scholastic Media, PBS).

Welbeck hails Van Gaal appointment
Danny Welbeck has hailed the appointment of Louis van Gaal as Manchester United manager.
Welbeck considered leaving United after becoming frustrated at being played out of position under David Moyes.
But with the Scot gone, Welbeck now has a chance to prove himself under Van Gaal and the United striker is looking forward to working under the former Barcelona, Ajax and Bayern Munich coach next season.
"I heard the news (about Van Gaal's appointment) and I am happy," said Welbeck, who scored 10 times for United last year after starting just 24 matches in all competitions.
"He is a great man, a great manager.
"Looking at his CV tells you he has managed at some big clubs."
Current Holland coach Van Gaal was named United boss on Monday, a month after Moyes was sacked.
The 62-year-old, who will be assisted by Ryan Giggs, will take over at Old Trafford when Holland's World Cup campaign ends.

Former IM Global executive and Hyde Park International president Ruzanna Kegeyan to oversee new sales slate.
Lisa Wilson and Myles Nestel's sales outfit The Solution is teaming with production and post-production specialists Siren Studios on a production slate and genre sales label.
The Solution will relocate to Siren Studios, a 100,000+sq ft campus in Hollywood.
The new sales outfit, Synchronicity, will represent eight to ten horror, action, thriller and comedy films per year. Former IM Global executive and Hyde Park International president Kegeyan [pictured] will oversee operations and worldwide sales on the slate. She will report to Nestel and Wilson.
The slate will be a combination of third party titles, co-productions and in-house productions utilsing the Siren Studios production and post production facilities.
Nestel said: "When we launched The Solution in January, one of our goals was to be able to provide producers with access to state of the art physical production and post production facilities in the heart of Hollywood in addition to our one-stop finance and sales operation."
"The partnership with Siren Studios opens the doors to those ambitions and our aim to be a 21st century approach to the old studio system by squeezing out production inefficiencies and streamlining the production workflow," he continued.
Siren Studios president and CEO Dean Gavoni said: "This partnership with The Solution represents a key business driver that utilizes the breadth of our production service offering including post production."
The studios already host commercial productions, high end photo shoots, special events, equipment rentals and post production. Construction is currently underway on a 25,000 sq ft sound stage and the company recently debuted its post-production and special effects facility Inspire Studios in Hollywood, partnered with Kyle Jackson.
The Solution's slate includes Writers, currently in post-production starring Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly and Lily Collins; thriller Grand Piano, starring Elijah Wood and John Cusack; thriller Felony, starring Joel Edgerton, espionage thriller November Man starring Pierce Brosnan and Dominic Cooper to be directed by Roger Donaldson; and the Simon Pegg starrer Hector And The Search For Happiness to be directed by Peter Chelsom.

Two very different shoe styles emerged on the runway in Milan this past week. At Versace, the look was full-on sexy in the form of sky-high strappy stilettos, oozing sex appeal. At Dolce & Gabbana, a brand known for steamy eroticism, towering platform wedges ruled the runway. For spring, will you go for the vamped-up look of a stiletto, or the more girly, and decidedly more comfortable, wedge? Here, two options starting at $30 (strappy heel and triple strap wedge).
