Exped AirMat Basic 7.5 LW
This down mat offers comfort and cushion in some of the roughest camp grounds.
Brand: Exped
Model: AirMat Basic 7.5 LW
Thought down was just for sleeping bags and jackets? Think again. The Downmat UL7 is stuffed with 700-fill feathers, and tester feedback can be summed up with this direct quote: "Zzzzzzz." Says one happy camper: "I skipped the extra closed-cell foam pad I usually pack on cold-weather trips, and I stayed warm below freezing, despite the fact that I was in a 40°F bag."
Cushioning is tops, too. At 2.8 inches thick, the Downmat can absorb any lumps and bumps: "Due to limited campsite selection, I had to sleep on top of an immovable rock that was protruding two inches from the ground—right into my back," said one tester after a trip in Joshua Tree National Park. "I slept like a baby." Smart: The side baffles are slightly larger than the rest, which helps keep you centered.
The 20-denier nylon shell requires some ultralight care, but our testers didn't see any reason for concern after routinely sharing the pad for stargazing in the Rockies. It comes with the Schnozzel Pumpbag (1.4 oz.; $26 if purchased separately), which inflates the pad in minutes. Of course, luxury ain't always cheap. $209; 1 lb. 4 oz.; 72" x 20" x 2.8"; exped.com
Air filled mat, mouth inflated or with available Exped accessory pump

Summer is finally here which is great news for all the boating enthusiast out there. It's time to pull the boat out of the garage or storage, clean it up, make sure everything is still intact and start hitting the lakes. Before you get too far though, you may want to check out all the cool Marine accessories that Sonic Electronix has available to you to enhance your boating season. Most of you boaters today already have quality sound system in your boats, but here are a couple of cool accessories you might enjoy.
Clarion is well known for making high quality marine headunits, so if you have one equipped in your boat the Clarion MW1 Wired Marine Remote Control can definitely make operating your system much easier. This remote has a watertight seal and plugs directly into the rear of your receiver. The white 2-line blacklit LCD display is clear and visible during the brightest days. This marine remote is constructed with a black face and stainless steel bezel and will meet the demands of the marine environment. It also features rubber buttons on the face of the remote that give you complete control over your Clarion headunit. The Clarion MW1 is compatible with the CMV1, CMD6, and the M309 Marine headunits.
No matter where you look on the lake, you will see wake boarders and water skiers all over the place and there is a good chance you are pulling one behind your own boat. Lakes can get really crowded in the summer and it is always safe to have good communication with the person you are pulling, most times, yelling just doesn't get the job done. Bazooka has a solution to that problem with their Marine Mobile Microphone PA Mixer. The MPA1000B allows you to easily talk with skiers, wakeboarders, or other boats with the click of a button. Its 4-channel music input allows you to also play music from the mixer and features independent music & voice controls. The voice over functionality will mute the music when you are ready to speak through the microphone. This versatile PA mixer is available in two colors, black & white.
Get your hands on some awesome marine accessories this summer at Sonic Electronix.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - While Hayden Panettiere is pretending to be a country music singer on TV, she's learning how to be one in real life.
The 23-year-old actress plays ambitious country star Juliette Barnes on the hit ABC show "Nashville" (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. Eastern). Her character has performed on the Grand Ole Opry, dealt with the demands of a record label executive, written songs and tracked vocals in a recording studio.
"The show, I feel like, is an amazing second step for me because I love music and I've always had such terrible stage fright," said Panettiere, who recently earned a Golden Globe nomination for best performance by a television actress in a supporting role.
"This has been kind of the in between because I get to go out there during scenes with a crowd full of people and pretend like I'm performing onstage, and I'm actually performing a live show," she continued. "It's one thing when you put yourself out there (as a solo artist), it's another thing when you're playing a character. ... Beyonce has her alter ego (Sasha Fierce), and people create these alter egos because it seems like a little bit more protection when you put yourself out there for all to see."
Her confidence as a singer is growing, as is her credibility. She sings all of her own songs in the show, some of which are featured on the "Nashville" soundtrack, released last week. Big Machine Records put out her song "Telescope" as the show's first official single, and it's a Top 40 hit on the Billboard country songs chart.
The former "Heroes" actress has dabbled in music before, performing tracks for various Disney films and releasing the pop single "Wake Up Call" in 2008, which failed to chart. A full album was never released.
She says doing the show is teaching her about the music industry, and that getting a warm response from the Music City community is encouraging.
"There's no cooler feeling than someone coming up to you from Nashville ... and going, 'Thank you for portraying us in such a great light, in such an honest light, because people who are not from the South have this image and this idea,'" she said.
The show boasts Grammy-winning musician and producer T Bone Burnett as its executive music producer and an accomplished cast, including co-star Connie Britton who also earned a Golden Globes nomination for best performance by an actress in a television series drama.
"There are no words to describe this, either I'm going to start tearing up or I'm going to make more grilled cheese," Panettiere said just hours after she found out about the nominations. "It's so amazing, because we had such high hopes and sometimes you feel like things are too good to be true, and I felt like the show was everything that I dreamt of as an actor and as a musician."
Panettiere says hearing her song on the radio for the first time is a moment she'll always remember. She had just hopped into her car on a crisp, fall day with her best friend sitting shotgun. She turned the key, and her name popped up on the dashboard.
"I just bugged out," she said. "I couldn't believe it. I was trying to take pictures at the same time. But it's surreal. ... There are no words to describe how special and exciting that moment is. And nerve-wracking, too, very nerve-wracking."

Never before have 5 little animals provided so much fun!
Enjoyed by adults and children alike this is a game for all the family to play, or perhaps just challenge yourself.
Here are just a few of the creations by some of our fans
Available in over 10 different styles:
Elephants, Jungle Animals, Whales, Dinosaurs, Apes, Kangaroos, Koalas, Penguins, Kiwis, Sheep, and BALAZOO Jungle .
Hand made from farm forested timber, these fun puzzles will challenge your skills, dexterity and patience as you try and balance them. It's simply a matter of holding your tongue in the right place! Each set comes attractively gift boxed, with full instructions and a challenging configuration card showing about 20 of the literally 100's of possible ways of balancing each set, and for even more fun sets can be combined so you can make towers reaching the sky! In fact we've balanced over 20 Dinosaurs together (actually they were hanging off a shelf) and we've received photos from enthusiasts who've balanced more!
- A fun game of skill for creative minds
- For children and adults
- Hundreds of Balancing possibilities
- Sets combine for more fun
- A great educational game
- Hand made from a single block of timber.
· Balancing Animals are a fun game of skill for both children and adults. Different age groups will use them in different ways. Young children may just stack them one on the other, or play with the animals separately. Older children will be able to recognise the different shapes and do the configurations. As play develops they will try their own configurations and look for praise from adults for their accomplishments.
· Balancing Animals are fun to balance while teaching and improving hand-eye coordination, problem solving skills, patience and perseverance, shape recognition, plan reading, minor motor skills, colour recognition as well as giving an enjoyable tactile experience.
· Children will learn about the physics of gravity, leverage, fulcrums, friction etc as well as experiencing the tactile benefits of touching and playing with timber.
· Adults will usually try to do all the configurations, and then develop their own. In group play they may race to see who can balance the set the quickest, or who can build the highest tower or the widest stack. Challenges of building on top of the smallest animal or using each animal as a starting point will ensue.
· We have suggested only a few of the hundred of configurations possible with each set and Balancing Animals are able to be combined with other sets (either of the same style or different styles) to build large configurations. This can be a lot of fun as well as a great challenge.
· When people are finished playing with Balancing Animals they can be placed on a shelf or mantle to look fun, ready for the next time! Some people like to make a new configuration each day!
Playing with Balancing Animals:
Gives Enjoyment of challenge and the satisfaction of success.
Enhances Understanding of the laws of physics such as gravity, leverage, fulcrums, weight and dimension.
Develops Hand eye coordination, problem solving techniques and spatial concepts. Widely used by occupational therapists.
Facilitates an appreciation of the world's unique wild life.
Promotes individual and collective creativity.
For an even greater challenge try BALANCING ACT. Smaller and thinner they are even more difficult to balance.
Unless otherwise specified our products are NZ Made

Professor Kenneth Thorpe recently issued an analysis of Senator Bernie Sanders' single-payer national health insurance proposal. Thorpe, an Emory University professor who served in the Clinton administration, claims the single-payer plan would break the bank.
Thorpe's analysis rests on several incorrect, and occasionally outlandish, assumptions. Moreover, it is at odds with analyses of the costs of single-payer programs that he produced in the past, which projected large savings from such reform (see this study, for example, or this one).
We outline below the incorrect assumptions behind Thorpe's current analysis:
1. He incorrectly assumes administrative savings of only 4.7 percent of expenditures, based on projections of administrative savings under Vermont's proposed reform.
However, the Vermont reform did not contemplate a fully single-payer system. It would have allowed large employers to continue offering private coverage, and the continuation of the FEHBP and Medicare programs. Hence, hospitals, physicians' offices, and nursing homes would still have had to contend with multiple payers, forcing them to maintain the complex cost-tracking and billing apparatus that drives up providers' administrative costs. Vermont's plan proposed continuing to pay hospitals and other institutional providers on a per-patient basis, rather than through global budgets, perpetuating the expensive hospital billing apparatus that siphons funds from care.
The correct way to estimate administrative savings is to use actual data from real world experience with single-payer systems such as that in Canada or Scotland, rather than using projections of costs in Vermont's non-single-payer plan. In our study published in the New England Journal of Medicine we found that the administrative costs of insurers and providers accounted for 16.7 percent of total health care expenditures in Canada, versus. 31.0 percent in the U.S. - a difference of 14.3 percent. In subsequent studies, we have found that U.S. hospital administrative costs have continued to rise, while Canada's have not. Moreover, hospital administrative costs in Scotland's single-payer system were virtually identical those in Canada.
In sum, Thorpe's assumptions understate the administrative savings of single-payer by 9.6 percent of total health spending. Hence he overestimates the program's cost by 9.6 percent of health spending -- $327 billion in 2016, and $3.742 trillion between 2016 and 2024. Notably, Thorpe's earlier analyses projected much larger administrative savings from single-payer reform -- closely in line with our estimates.
2. Thorpe assumes huge increases in the utilization of care, increases far beyond those that were seen when national health insurance was implemented in Canada, and much larger than is possible given the supply of doctors and hospital beds.
When Canada implemented universal coverage and abolished copayments and deductibles there was no change in the total number of doctor visits; doctors worked the same number of hours after the reform as before, and saw the same number of patients. However, they saw their healthy and wealthier patients slightly less often, and sicker and poorer patients somewhat more frequently. Moreover, the limited supply of hospital beds precluded the kind of big surge in hospitalizations that Thorpe predicts. In health policy parlance, "capacity constraints" precluded a big increase in system-wide utilization.
Thorpe bases his estimates on what has happened when a small percentage of people in a community have had copayments eliminated or added. But in those cases there are no capacity constraints, so it tells us little about what would happen under a system-wide reform like single-payer.
Thorpe does not give actual figures for how many additional doctor visits and hospital stays he predicts. However, his estimates that persons with private insurance would increase their utilization of care by 10 percent and that those with Medicare-only coverage would increase utilization by 10 to 25 percent suggest that he projects about 100 million additional doctor visits and several million more hospitalizations each year - something that's impossible given real-world capacity constraints. There just aren't enough doctors and hospital beds to deliver that much care.
Instead of a huge surge in utilization, more realistic projections would assume that doctors and hospitals would reduce the amount of unnecessary care they're now delivering in order to deliver needed care to those who are currently not getting what they need. That's what happened in Canada.
3. Thorpe assumes that the program would be a huge bonanza for state governments, projecting that the federal government would relieve them of 10 percent of their current spending for Medicaid and CHIP -- equivalent to about $20 billion annually.
No one has suggested that a single-payer reform would or should do this.
4. Thorpe's analysis also ignores the large savings that would accrue to state and local governments -- and hence taxpayers -- because they would be relieved of the costs of private coverage for public employees.
State and local government spent $177 billion last year on employee health benefits - about $120 billion more than state and local government would pay under the 6.2 percent payroll tax that Senator Sanders has proposed. The federal government could simply allow state and local governments to keep this windfall, but it seems far more likely that it would reduce other funding streams to compensate.
5. Thorpe's analysis also apparently ignores the huge tax subsidies that currently support private insurance, which are listed as "Tax Expenditures" in the federal government's official budget documents.
These subsidies totaled $326.2 billion last year, and are expected to increase to $538.9 billion in 2024. Shifting these current tax expenditures from subsidizing private coverage to funding for a single-payer program would greatly lessen the amount of new revenues that would be required. Thorpe's analysis makes no mention of these current subsidies.
6. Thorpe assumes zero cost savings under single-payer on prescription drugs and devices.
Nations with single-payer systems have in every case used their clout as a huge purchaser to lower drug prices by about 50 percent. In fact, the U.S. Defense Department and VA system have also been able to realize such savings.
In summary, professor Thorpe grossly underestimates the administrative savings under single-payer; posits increases in the number of doctor visits and hospitalizations that exceed the capacity of doctors and hospitals to provide this added care; assumes that the federal government would provide state and local governments with huge windfalls rather than requiring full maintenance of effort; makes no mention of the vast current tax subsidies for private coverage whose elimination would provide hundreds of billions annually to fund a single-payer program; and ignores savings on drugs and medical equipment that every other single-payer program has reaped.
In the past, Thorpe estimated that single-payer reform would lower health spending while covering all of the uninsured and upgrading coverage for the tens of millions who are currently underinsured. The facts on which those conclusions were based have not changed.

Designed for four times the versatility, Samson's Stage v466 Quad Vocal Wireless System let's you use four microphones simultaneously with a single receiver. It's the ideal wireless solution for vocalists, karaoke performers, DJs or any application where multiple mics are needed.
At the core of the Stage v466 system is a full-rack quad VHF wireless receiver. The receiver's front panel features an RF channel indicator and a large rotary volume knob for each channel. The receiver also offers two tuned antennas, XLR mix, as well as four 1/4-inch outputs that give you the option for each transmitter pair mixed or each transmitter individually. The Stage 4v66 system comes with two 1/4-inch to 1/4-inch cables.
The Stage v466 system includes four HT6 dynamic handheld microphone transmitters, each with a Samson H6 dynamic microphone element for capturing clear, accurate vocals. Each transmitter operates for up to ten hours on a single 9-volt battery (four included) and offers a handy audio on/off switch.
With the meticulous engineering, state of the art technology and impressive audio capabilities that are built into every Samson wireless system, the Stage v466 system ensures crystal clear operation and the most dependable quad-channel performance available.
Everyone Loves A Quartet
The beauty of the Stage v466 system is that you can have all four channels running simultaneously. This makes it perfect for a variety of scenarios where multiple voices exist, including bands with multiple singers. Beyond the system's ability to capture stunning vocals in musical settings, Stage v466 allows bands, quartets and other small musical groups to add energy and movement to their performances.
Masters of Karaoke
The Stage v466 system is great for opening up your karaoke events to more people. With four channels in play, you can spread out the stage and avoid people from crowding around a single mic to belt out those rock anthems or power ballads. And when an MC is running the show, the Stage v466 system really helps with presentation and flow, eliminating the need to hand-off the lone mic after every song.
DJ Teams
For DJs who work in teams, the Stage v466 system is a must. Whether at weddings, block parties or clubs, this wireless system allows multiple DJs to focus on hyping up the crowd, while another supports them from behind the mixer. Or you can have four mobile DJs working different parts of the venue. Either way, the Stage v466 makes for a really versatile and entertaining DJ setup.

A visit to London
London is probably the world's most visited city, such is its popularity. It draws in visitors from all over the globe. It is a huge city. So what should one see in London?
Tourists should try a ride on a double decker bus; go on a journey on the London Underground and a trip in a London cab. Traditional sites to see include London Bridge and Tower Bridge. These are the two most famous bridges that cross the river Thames.
HMS Belfast is located in between and is well worth a visit. The nearby Tower of London offers visitors the chance to see the crown jewels, the ravens and the Yeomanry of the Guard. The West End is for shopping. The area includes Oxford Street, Tottenham Court Road, Regent Street and Piccadilly. Here you can see the legendary Eros statue.
If you go to Buckingham Palace in the summer you can go around it. Maybe take afternoon tea with the Queen. Maybe not! You could visit 10 Downing Street and see British Prime Minister David Cameron's residence.

Package: Curv2.0 container, Main canopy, Reserve Canopy, AAD
To place an order for a Voodoo Curv 2.0, download the order form at this link:
Highlights of the Voodoo Curv 2.0 include:
Eliminates the gap at the back by curving to your body
Specially designed end tabs that result a lower profile of the main container
Increase of 10% volume
More comfortable during canopy flight
Incorporates webbing stow band - no more losing them!
Stainless steel mini ring hardware standard
Protective BOC stowage flap
"Sure-Grip" handles
Included slider stow
The upper harness is built from TY-8 webbing for comfort and flexibility.
The leg straps are built from TY-7 webbing backed with TY-12 to preclude slippage of the stainless leg adapters.
Stainless steel mini ring hardware is standard for looks and durability.
All housings are completely fabric for looks and utilize stainless steel clamps for security
The Voodoo Curv 2.0 design allows a smooth airflow over the back of the rig and jumper in any freefall attitude. The Voodoo Curv 2.0 incorporates the Bio Curv backpad where the profile of the backpad, instead of being straight, is curved inward at the midpoint and follows the natural curve of the back. This allows the containers to hug the back intimately and eliminate the gap between the back and the rig. This then allows for an increase of approximately 10% in the available volume for each main container size with no increase in width or length. A totally new concept is the "Bio-Yoke" configuration (Patent Pending). This design concept incorporates a secondary shoulder yoke that holds the containers higher on the back and relieves the pressure of the regular shoulder yoke with its associated webbing and hardware. The Bio-Yoke spreads the load evenly across the back and shoulders.
The fit of the Voodoo Curv 2.0 is more akin to wearing a vest or backpack than putting on an older style rig. With the distribution of the weight across the entire back, the perceived weight of the system is less than the actual weight. The inside of the yoke and leg pads are built with an inside seam resulting in greater comfort. The main container side flaps incorporate specially designed end tabs that result in a lower profile of the main container.
The Voodoo harness has become the standard of the world for fit, comfort and strength. The 3-ring geometry has been changed to slightly lower the 3-ring location for a more comfortable seated position during canopy flight. The lower hip ring geometry has been changed to allow more flexibility of the horizontal back strap, allowing the containers to seek a more natural location on the back. The leg strap junction has been totally re-designed to provide greater comfort and security around the upper thigh. This holds the leg strap and pad in place and prevents them from sliding down the leg in freefall. This virtually eliminates the need for the "bungee" cross connector.
The chest strap incorporates a webbing stow band to replace the elastic keepers that stretch out of shape or get lost. The lower main lift webs incorporate slim line modular pockets for the 3-ring release and reserve ripcord. The pockets also protect the lift web webbing from wear, abrasion and ultra violet degradation, and allow the main lift webs to stretch under high "G" loads, preventing hard pulls of the reserve and 3-ring release.
Main risers and toggles. TY-17 risers with stainless steel hardware, Velcroless toggles, dive loops, and anti-twist cable tubes are standard. Standard length is 20" with custom lengths available at no additional charge.
Main Pilot Chute and Bridle. The standard main deployment configuration is a BOC throw-out pilot chute with a Hackey and kill-line collapsible bridle.
The BOC pocket incorporates a small stowage flap that helps keep the pilot chute from creeping out and positions the handle in the same place every time.
Reserve ripcord and 3-ring release handle. A metal mini trapezoidal ripcord handle is standard with a pillow or loop handle optional. The pillow ripcord and 3-ring release handle come standard with rubberized "Sure-Grip" fabric for a better grip under all conditions.
Slider stow. A specially designed loop is built into the top reserve flap which allows attachment of a custom designed magnetic slider stow without interfering with the operation of the reserve.
Hook Knife. A high impact hook knife and pocket is integrated into the right side main lift web cover and 3-ring release pocket.

It seems to me that anytime anyone recommends an invasion of my body as beneficial, whether it be a drug, radiation, a food or surgery, I would want to know why this person believes it will be beneficial and I would want that any reason given makes sense to me.
Why should I believe someone wearing a white lab coat and who knows big words? Because he/she has nurses and administrative assistants attending to him/her? Because there is a certificate on the wall? Because he/she has a legal right to administer "treatments"?
Should I not instead refer to history? Medical history is a continuum of harmful treatments, from bleedings to unnecessary surgery to psycho-active drugs. There has not been a sudden or even gradual break in medical history where treatments have become based on sound scientific research. Only the usual facade of legitimacy and scientificacy.
Medicine's main stratagem is appeal to authority. You want a benevolent parent, someone who knows and is fair, well here you are.
And it's not like the clinicians themselves understand the medical research or statistical analysis of research results or are in any way equipped to critique the constant flow of peer-reviewed career-motivated medical journal drivel... They are not.
Nor do these lobotomized assembly-line clinicians trust their own observations or perform their own evaluations of treatment merit. They only order tests and apply the recipe of "recommended treatment" prescribed by the test results, based on published medical journal pronouncements. They do not probe their patients beyond the canned questions on their checklists of assignable (and billable) "treatments".
It is sad to have reduced medical doctors to this role of drug pushers and selectors for the surgeon's knife, the chemist's poison and the radiologist's dose. Where are the thinking-feeling independent agents of good that we might reasonably hope for?
How did medical school become entry-level gang-membership indoctrination instead of a place of learning about the human body and its metabolism?
Why can't there be any discernment between the obvious and any excuse for some recommendation or drug prescription?
Medicine seriously needs to be democratized. We all need to get to know our own bodies and the human body's remarkable ability to heal itself, given the needed conditions.
I think the first step to knowledge is to rebel against those that feign and hoard knowledge. This rebellion can take many forms: boycott, challenge, punishment...
Take charge. Seek a solution to your oppression. Alleviate or repel your oppression and your health will recover. If it does not then, in any case, you most-probably have an ailment that medical science can do nothing about. Accept this fact and do the right thing.

Social Snubs Can Hurt, PhysicallyBy Jeanna Bryner, Senior Writer Lerner
A social snub can deliver a seemingly painful blow. Now, it turns out that sting may be real. A gene linked with physical pain is also associated with a person's sensitivity to rejection, a new study finds.
The discovery doesn't suggest that being chosen last for a pick-up ball game, say, will send you limping off the field. Rather, a rare form of the so-called mu-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) is likely involved in the emotional aspect of physical pain — essentially, how much a person is bothered by a throbbing leg, for instance.
In the study, 122 participants indicated how much they agreed or disagreed with statements, such as "I am very sensitive to any signs that a person might not want to talk to me." Their saliva was also analyzed for OPRM1.
People with a rare form of OPRM1 experience more physical pain than others.
Then, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brains of 31 of the participants during a virtual ball-tossing game. Initially, each participant was included with two virtual players before being excluded when the virtual players stopped throwing the ball to them.
Individuals with the rare OPRM1 variant were more sensitive to social rejection. The mutant-gene carriers also showed more activity in brain regions linked with physical and social pain, including the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula.
Such social pain may have benefited our ancestors. "Because social connection is so important, feeling literally hurt by not having social connections may be an adaptive way to make sure we keep them," said study researcher Naomi Eisenberger of UCLA.
She added, "Over the course of evolution, the social attachment system — which ensures social connection — may have actually borrowed some of the mechanisms of the pain system to maintain social connections."
The research, which is published in the Aug. 14 online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Aging, and the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation.

Puzzlejuice Review
- Addictive mix of commonly aped arcade puzzler elements.
- Clean, clear and bold visuals make it easy to keep track of the action.
- Sharp audio track keeps you focused and relaxed.
- Designed with multiple skill levels in mind, from casual to truly hardcore puzzle fans.
- Euro Extreme Mode could be enhanced from a preview-display toggle; or at least a single preview in-line with classic Tetris.
- Currently no achievements for junkies to obsess over.
Puzzlejuice is the perfect way to zone-out while testing your fundamental gaming skills at multitasking in a puzzler environment; gorgeous executed in almost every way.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
If you haven't reached a comfortable state of equilibrium with common arcade titles that feature gameplay elements such as color-matching, word-finding or block tessellating, then I can only assume you're a very VERY recent convert to the world of gaming. Don't worry, you'll join the fold soon enough and if you're interested in getting there even faster you can play Puzzlejuice because it combines all three.
The best part is it caters to those with only a few seconds spare; those who consider themselves experts in all three areas; and those who haven't quite got the hang of either one. 'But how?', I hear you cry out. I doubt it was an easy task, so it's no surprise to see a superstar trio of developers that include a musician from Mass Effect 2; an indie developer who worked on the amusing P.B. Winterbottom; and the artist behind the upcoming Ridiculous Fishing.
To pull off this odd combination of gameplay, the player needs to wrap their head around the basic stages of how the game constantly changes. Initially the game is like Tetris, with blocks that can be dropped in to place at the bottom of the screen. These blocks are covered in colors which can subsequently be matched in groups of three or more if you tap them, turning them in to a random assortment of letters. Similarly, if you create a full line you'll also convert the blocks in to letters. At this point the player can swipe to select words (diagonals are allowed), with blocks surrounding the word also being 'destroyed', allowing play to continue. Multipliers rack up; power-ups eventually add themselves to the mix; and fun in general is had.
There is more to be had though as the basic gameplay (while initially confusing) can be quite easy thanks to the generous clearance of blocks around words. Thankfully those after a challenge can switch to 'Euro Extreme Mode' to remove block clearing around words less than 5 letters long. Completing objectives handed out by the game also rewards the player with power-ups that can be manually chosen before starting up a new game.
Everything about Puzzlejuice exudes with style, subtle humor and clever considerations for the iOS gamer. The bold, bright and clear aesthetics make it easy on the eyes no matter what situation you're in; the subtle, yet clever mechanics keep you satisfied as you constantly multitask; and the crisp, sharp audio pokes at the mind, keeping it alert.
Puzzlejuice is a perfect puzzling package that may not be able to claim being purely original, but the way in which it combines commonly used puzzle tropes is most certainly a treat to enjoy.
DescriptionPuzzlejuice is a game that will punch your brain in the face.
"Puzzlejuice is the only game puzzle fans need." - App Advice
"Puzzlejuice is an enveloping world of gorgeous design, funky music, and falling blocks that you can't help but fall in love with." - Slide to Play
"It's an inspired effort that will tickle puzzle fans, word-game addicts and aficionados of smart design. Go get it now." - Kotaku
"Loads of frantic gameplay, style and humor." - Touch Arcade
"Every once in a while an iOS game breaks new ground and delivers something ingenious." - App Safari
"Addictive combination of word and puzzle games. Slick presentation and incredible soundtrack." - Gamezebo
Puzzlejuice takes all of the elements of your favorite puzzle games and puts it into one convenient brightly colored package!
This game was designed to challenge both your spatial and verbal abilities and if you don't feel overwhelmed then you might not be human. It's a puzzle that will keep you hooked.
Multicolored BLOCKS constantly fall from the top of the screen and it's up to you to arrange them. Once you complete a row with these blocks they will turn into LETTERS! The only way to clear out these blocks is to spell WORDS. Oh and also you can MATCH COLORS—that will make letters too.
Test your endurance by seeing how long you can withstand the downpour. Complete objectives to unlock POWERUPS that will make you life easier as the game gets harder!
Don't have a lot of time? Great! This mode is Zen because the blocks don't fall, so you don't have to worry about them piling to the top. This mode is EXTREME because you ONLY HAVE 90 SECONDS.
"LOCAL" MULTIPLAYER: There's a lot to do in this game so it's great to play with friends! One of you can sort the blocks while the others look for words. Divide and CONQUER.
PICTURE-IN-PICTURE: We've packed the same experience into both the iPhone and iPad, but we know that phones are small and thumbs are big, so when you start spelling a word on the phone, a preview pops up to show the letters underneath your fingers!
GAME CENTER: Challenge your friends or try to become the world's best Puzzlejuice Master!
DICTIONARY: Spell a word and don't know what it means? No problem, tap on a word to look it up.
FOREIGN LANGUAGES: Play the game in English, Spanish, French, Italian, or Dutch!
COLORBLIND SUPPORT: We've got you covered.
It's not your mother's word game; it has balls. Brass balls. Puzzlejuice is for closers.

The Fierce Urgency of Now
The case for short-term thinking.
Nothing reveals more about the present than a report about the future. Unfortunately, as these things go, reports about the future seldom do much to illuminate our understanding of what is yet to come. This is certainly the case with the U.S. National Intelligence Council's latest exercise in future-casting, "Global Trends 2030."
Nothing reveals more about the present than a report about the future. Unfortunately, as these things go, reports about the future seldom do much to illuminate our understanding of what is yet to come. This is certainly the case with the U.S. National Intelligence Council's latest exercise in future-casting, "Global Trends 2030."
The authors of this report, produced every five years by the NIC, the intelligence community's in-house think tank (look for the federal budget line item entitled "navel gazing"), note at the outset that their objective is not to predict the future. This is the caveat offered up by all efforts to predict the future. Including it in the report ensures that at least one thing in it will actually turn out to be true.
I don't mean to be snarky. In fact, I would hate to do anything to discourage the production of such reports, even as swathed in caveats and burdened by the failures of past such efforts as they are. They are useful not because of their content but because they force readers to consider something outside the current news cycle, if only for a moment. That's important.
In Washington, typically, when someone says they are taking the long view, there are really only three possibilities: 1) They are lying; 2) They aren't from here; or 3) They can't figure out a short-term strategy.
We've seen an acute example of this recently with regard to U.S. Middle East policy. At a recent Foreign Policy conference, former Obama Middle East advisor Dennis Ross urged us not to refer to what is happening in the region as the "Arab Spring" because that implies it is a short-term phenomenon. He offered up as an alternative "Arab Awakening," and said that the events in the region would take a generation to play out.
Fair enough. But taking the historical view is fine when you're outside government. It's less comforting when you're actually in charge of setting U.S. policy. When diplomats from the region recently approached the administration to urge it to take a strong public stance calling our Egypt's Mohamed Morsy for his bald-faced, post-Gaza power grab, I'm told, they were given pushback by officials at the National Security Council who said the United States was taking "the long-term view" in Egypt and counseled patience.
Between that kind of talk and the NIC report, you might think Washington is experiencing a rare outbreak of virulent foresight. But that's not really what's going on here. With regard to Egypt, the United States is embracing the long view because it has no good short-term options. As in Syria, Libya, and elsewhere in the Arab world, we are not sure who is in charge, who are likely to be our friends, and how events are likely to unfold.
The problem with this kind of faux-perspective is that for all the perfectly good reasons to maintain the long view, it is dangerous to let them be an excuse for not having a good short-term plan. After all, to paraphrase Freud, the short term is the father of the long term. If you get it wrong, it does have an effect.
Morsy has clearly demonstrated that he is not a good guy. He has been all too fast to set aside the constitutional impulses that brought him to power. His foreign policy, while seemingly a help in Gaza, has others in the region, from Jordan to the moderate states of the Gulf, seriously worried. They see Morsy's Muslim Brotherhood as a threat to their stability, actively working to stir up trouble in its desire to produce the spread not of democracy but of extremist theocracy to the region. No amount of palliative statements by U.S. officials to the effect of "we have leverage, they need us more than we need them, they need our money" will convince the region's players — who believe they know better the true nature of the Brotherhood — that the United States will actually maintain influence with these Islamist ideologues over the long term. In other words, America is once again being used by bad guys because we simply don't know whom else to deal with. (And by all reports, we are being misled by giving too much credence to advice given to the White House by the president's favorite interlocutor in the region, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.)
The United States needs to be careful, because failing to come up with a better alternative to bad actors like Morsy — or at least failing to set much clearer lines as to what we will support or not — could produce not an "Arab awakening" or "spring" but a new dark era across the region. In Egypt, in Syria, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and possibly in other fragile states that hang in the balance like those moderate allies currently pleading for stronger support from the United States right now, we could end up with a new generation of authoritarian bosses with extremist ties or leanings. And the Obama administration's understandable desire to get out of the region to focus on "nation-building at home" is only making matters more complicated.
In the worst case, an anti-American, collapsing Middle East could be seen as the legacy of this administration. You could easily see it happening over the next four years. Don't believe me? Here's what one top U.S. official said the region might look like in just "three to five years": "either a failed state or all or part of Syria under control of extremists; instability in Jordan or all or some part of Jordan under control of extremists; continuing political instability in Lebanon with the growing power of Hezbollah; Hamas basically becoming a proxy of Iran; and Sinai becoming a danger to Egypt as well as to Israel."
That was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking off the cuff at the Brookings Institution's Saban Forum. Imagine what such a scenario might mean for Obama's legacy — and for the president who had to pick up the pieces. The question, "Who lost the Middle East?" might resonate for generations.
And it could even be worse. The NIC report touches upon the possibility of the dysfunctional world that would be produced if the next 20 years produces unrest, strongmen, world energy market volatility, and the distractions associated with further festering in the arc of instability that extends from the Maghreb to the Hindu Kush but shows signs of spreading across Africa and Central Asia. The headings in the "game-changers" section alone tell a grim story: The Crisis-Prone Global Economy, the Governance Gap, the Potential for Increased Conflict, Wide Scope of Regional Instability, the Impact of New Technologies and the Role of the United States.
But there's another way to look at those headings. The trouble with most such exercise in crystal ball reading is that they fall quickly into the biggest of all heuristic traps: They let our current experience restrict too greatly our vision of the future.
Yes, there is a connection between the two, to be sure. (See above comments on having a short-term strategy on that point.) But look at the "megatrends" and "game-changers" of the NIC study and you see only a rehashing of the past decade or so of Davos meetings and McKinsey studies, the dross of popular futurism. There is talk about "individual empowerment" without a deep enough exploration of whether new technologies and trends like those above might create a new golden age of authoritarianism. "Diffusion of power" is mentioned because that's a meme of the IT crowd, but it neglects to note that new technologies have also led to huge concentrations of power (see: Valley, Silicon). There is a discussion of "aging," but it is almost entirely as though that were an economic negative, totally ignoring the great promise that might come of harnessing the experience and talents of workers for much, much longer than in the past. The "food, water, energy nexus" is mentioned because it must be, but there is not much discussion of how regularly wrong past predictions of coming supply crises in these areas have been over the past two centuries or so (see Population Bomb, The). China and India will be bigger. Europe could be in trouble. Emerging markets will emerge. Or they might not. Let's watch that.
The NIC study offers a few potential worlds, turning as ever on geopolitical and geoeconomic trends. The secret sauce seems to be whether the United States can continue to lead as it has in recent decades or not. The implication is that the future will be good if it looks enough like the past. (This is the "best case," with our European alliances swapped out for Asian ones.) As I said, it's all worth doing every so often because it makes us think. But the hard, on-the-ground realities of situations around the world as well as the inadequacies of our efforts at future-casting reinforce a message that our leaders will do well to heed: You're defining the future today, whether or not you intend to, and thus the very best way to ensure a good 2030 is to focus on making the right choices in 2013.

Economic and Social Council
Economic and Social Council, constituent organ of the United Nations. It was established by the UN Charter and has 54 (18 before 1965) member nations elected for three-year terms (one third every year) by the General Assembly. The council's president and the four other members of its governing bureau, who set its agenda and organize its session, are elected annually. The council undertakes investigations of international economic and social questions and reports its conclusions and suggestions to the General Assembly and other organs of the United Nations for action. The council also coordinates the activities of the specialized agencies of the United Nations and arranges for consultations with international nongovernmental organizations. The full council meets annually; decisions are taken by a majority of members present and voting, which insures a majority of developing nations. The council has established functional commissions, including the Statistical Commission, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the Commission for Sustainable Development, the Commission on the Status of Women, and the Population and Development Commission, and regional commissions. A director-general directly below the UN secretary-general has been created to coordinate programs under the council. The activities of the former Commission on Human Rights (superseded by the UN Human Rights Council in 2006) were particularly important. In Aug., 1948, a draft of a Universal Declaration of Human Rights, drawn up by the commission, was adopted by the General Assembly. In 1967, the commission was authorized to investigate and monitor violations of human rights in both developed and developing countries. The Economic and Social Council supervises the activities of the United Nations Children's Fund, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Development Program, and the International Narcotics Control Board, and it has consultative relationships with numerous nongovernmental organizations. It also undertakes special studies at the request of countries belonging to the United Nations.

Importance of Utilizing a Real Estate Lawyer in Greensville SC
Apart from facilitating closures, a real estate lawyer also handles disputes that might result between tenant and a landlord. Wrongful evictions, damage to rental property and damages on a person's property are different types of situations a real estate attorney handles. News For This Month Laws
When a mortgage firm is sold to another party, then a real estate attorney can assist a person needing to acquire a customer released. If a contract is not honored, a real estate lawyer can also help you get from a signed contract. Cases in this way would be if a landlord insists on your set monthly payment for a fixed period but attempts to increase your lease payments ahead of your lease expiring. A real estate lawyer can settle the dispute by advising the landlord that he must abide with his contract or should you wish to be absolved of the lease then a real estate attorney can help remove your contractual commitments.
If there is a divorce, then a real estate lawyer should be contacted to ensure each party gets their equivalent share of their property resources. In case one party wishes to keep the house without giving it to an external party, the real estate attorney will draft the papers required to ensure that a party keeps the house while the other party gets their pay. This involves typically one party paying another to their share of the home. News For This Month Laws
If a person has bought a new home and discovers that it is damaged whatsoever or if a person has bought an older house with damage they were not informed about, a property attorney is surely required to deal with these types of cases. A house costs a great deal of cash and undisclosed damages can turn out to be very pricey. Occasionally they can cause a house to be condemned.
A real estate lawyer helps a person get back his or her money for the home. In some cases, he will take care of the tasks needed to make sure the advertising party pays for virtually any undisclosed damages.
Another type of case that a real estate lawyer can manage is when conflicts arise over insurance claims. If an individual has insurance from fire damage and their home burns to the ground, a real estate attorney should be hired when the insurance provider refuses to pay the compensation. News For This Month Laws
A real estate attorney will negotiate with the insurance carrier firm to get their client compensated for not only the market value of the house but also for the materials which were ruined in the fire if those were covered too. Other sorts of insurance claims that a real estate lawyer can handle are vandalism, acts of nature, and fire or water damage. One should always hire a real estate to assist with a claim in case of difficulties with the insurance company.

Rumor has it that Marvel's already cast Doctor Strange, and it isn't Johnny Depp. Scarlett Johansson promises that the Avengers sequel is equal parts deep and funny. Don't hold your breath for a Halo movie. One actor denies he's Gotham's Jim Gordon. Plus could Yoda play a vital role in the Star Wars sequels? Spoilers right now!
Top image: Arrow.
Star Wars
Here's a rumor to take with a grain of salt: Cosmic Book News says that Yoda will appear as a Force ghost in Episode VII to warn Luke about a rising unbalance in the Force and the need to protect the Jedi. The rumor also mentions that the new Jedi temple will have a number of holograms depicting Jedi from the previous films: Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness version), Qui-Gon Jinn, etc. [The Force.net]
Doctor Strange
Coming right on the heels of the rumor that Johnny Depp's up for the title role are reports that Jon Hamm has already been cast as Doctor Strange. ComicBook.com claims that they have two sources telling them the same thing, and This Is Infamous is reporting it as well. Both are also saying that Marvel sees Doctor Strange as an important film, since it'll be used to link other future movies together. The This Is Infamous story also seems to indicate that Marvel's looking for Doctor Strange to step into the void that'll be created when Robert Downey, Jr. stops being Iron Man. [This Is Infamous, Comic Book.com]
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Scarlett Johansson has received the script for the Avengers sequel, and she's raving about it:
I think the script is dark and it's dry. It has got this amazing one-liner, glass-cutting sense of humor. Obviously, the script is very cerebral. It doesn't lose that exciting comic book aspect that people enjoyed in the first film, but it's smart and it feels like the next installment. It doesn't feel like a rehashing. It feels like these characters are moving forward. Plotlines are moving forward. It's deep and I think that's why people really respond to the Marvel Universe, because the films are fun and exciting and have all that flashy stuff, but there's a gravity to them. People can expect that gravity this time around.
Microsoft released a statement making clear that there's no Halo movie on the horizon:
The Halo franchise encompasses many elements, including games, action figures, novels and more. As always, we have many projects in the works that offer us the opportunity to bring in new audiences to the franchise, as we did in the past with Halo Legends and Halo: Forward Unto Dawn. We plan to continue telling the Halo story through innovative channels, but there are no plans for a Halo motion picture at this time.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman
Here's a new trailer for the animated movie. [First Showing]
Planet of the Apes Sequel
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes isn't even out yet, and its sequel already has a release date: July 29, 2016. [Coming Soon]
The remake by Gil Kenan also has a release date: February 13, 2015. [Coming Soon]
Donal Logue's denying a report from Latino Review that he's been offered the lead role of Jim Gordon in the series. He responded on Twitter:
Not true! I wish-would be awesome (but who could top Gary Oldman?) From what I heard, Gotham catches Gordon in his late 20's.
Not a huge surprise following the statement that the show would involve "all the classic Batman characters" — but it's been confirmed that young versions of Catwoman, the Penguin, and the Riddler will be among Gotham's characters. [Den of Geek]
Orphan Black
There's more details from the first scene shown to reporters at BBC America's TCA presentation. Season 2 will start with the aftermath of Kira's kidnapping, showing Sarah running down the street screaming her daughter's name. She reaches a diner, leaving a voice mail for Paul, which says "What the hell is going ondd? Did Rachel take my family?" Two men show up at the diner, where a gun and a shotgun are fired. Both bullets hit their intended targets.
Jordan Gavaris also explained what we'll see from Felix this season:
I think what season 2 helps to do is establish him as an individual with his own identity and as a multifaceted human and not just a plot device or not just someone who's there to facilitate whatever Sarah's crazy idea is that day.
[Buddy TV]
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says that we will see what connects the Slade we saw on the island to the one shown in Starling City in the present, as well as crediting actor Manu Bennett with coming up with something of significance:
I think the audience now understands that what the stakes are on the island and what is fueling Slade's rage in the present day to destroy Oliver. It's sad and hard to write because we spent such a long time building up the brotherhood and the bond between these two men to struggle to survive this horrible place, and now we see that Slade is his enemy. We'll be charting that downfall in the back half of this season, but it was hard to write because we've come to love this Slade on the island, and to watch him slowly go insane and turn his anger and his hatred on Oliver… hopefully it will be difficult for people to watch. But the best villains are not the mustache-twirling kind. The best villains are people who are doing what they're doing out of a sense of loss and love and regret. That was certainly true for Malcolm last season, and it's doubly true for Slade now.
When we first saw Slade sitting at that desk, talking to Sebastian, repeatedly the camera showed him clenching his fist over and over again. Is there any significance to that…?
There actually is significance to that — and funnily enough, it was thought up by Manu [Bennett] himself. That will be explained later on.
He also gave a little bit more detail about the upcoming Diggle-centric episode and discussed how they'll be playing with the flashback structure this season:
We actually are going to have an episode where we flash back to Dig's time in Afghanistan, so that's going to be a huge David Ramsey episode. Last season when we flashed back to the week before the Queen's Gambit left and we left the chronological narrative of Oliver's time on the island, the success of that episode allowed us to start playing with the flashback structure a bit, and people are able to follow it. So just as this year in City of HeroesEpisode 5 we had the flashbacks from Sara's point of view, we have an episode in the back half of the season where the flashbacks are from Laurel's point of view, and we have this other episode where the flashbacks are from Dig's [Afghanistan] days.
More at the link. [TV Line]
Colton Haynes revealed a little about Roy's story this season and guessed at how he'd react to learning about Oliver's alter ego:
[I]t's so great that they've been able to kind of give Roy and Oliver these quippy, slow, brooding remarks towards each other because it changes the dynamic between Roy and Oliver, obviously, because he's dating his sister. And it's also going to be really interesting to find out if Roy ever finds out Oliver and the Arrow are the same person, because it's going to be so shocking because he doesn't like Oliver, but he idolizes Arrow. So that's going to be a really fun thing to see throughout the season. You'll see a lot more terrible interactions between the two very soon.
. . . [In this season, Roy] forms a kind of a mini team with a few characters to finally find out who the Arrow is so they can try and start getting getting revenge.
[TV Line]
Coming off of last night's episode, Sean Maher's totally willing to return as Shrapnel:
That's the beauty of the show; they leave it so open-ended. I'd like to return with a vengeance and a distinct plan in mind. He's incredibly calculating, and — pun intended — I think he's going to return with a big bang.
Executive producer Steven Maeda revealed that the character of Peter was originally just going to die, but they've kept and he'll be a major part of the season:
He'll figure very prominently. It's something we talked about a great deal. In the very first version of the story, Peter was dead at the beginning. We decided to leave that character alive. He's going to be sick, but let's have him be alive because it gives you all sorts of emotional possibilities for Alan. And then, let's complicate it even further by creating this romantic triangle that went really bad between Peter, Alan and his wife. Once we came up with that triangle, we were like, "That's fun. That's going to give us a lot of opportunity to let these family dynamics play out over the course of the 13 days on this base."
He also talked about the upcoming appearance of Jeri Ryan:
She does have a connection to the base. We were definitely excited to get Jeri, and she was great. She comes in about halfway through the season. She's someone who is integral to the secrets that are being kept on the base. That is something we've been very big on, is everybody has secrets. They have either personal secrets or professional secrets or scientific secrets. Everybody has come in there with baggage or hidden agendas.
More at the link. [Comic Book Resources]
The Originals
Charles Michael Davis says that, even though Marcel and Klaus appeared to settle on co-ruling, the second half of the first season is still very much focused on the ebb and flow of their relationship:
What you think is going to be one storyline quickly becomes something else, depending on the importance, and with this show, the one thing that's most important is family. That's the big through line. So it's not the issue about ruling together; I think that the bigger thing is the relationship between Marcel and Klaus. I think going forward it's going to be one that they're going to try to reconcile. But as you see with the show, there are a lot of things thrown into the mix that change how characters feel towards each other. So it's just about balancing and keeping a stable family. For right now, it seems like at least those two brothers are doing okay.
He also said that the big secret Rebekah threatened Marcel with will be revealed soon, but "not next week." He described the effects of it, without divulging anything about what the secret is:
It's something that not only changes things for Marcel but obviously for Rebekah or else she would've told the secret, and there's a reason that they hide it from Klaus, because they know how he reacts when things don't go his way. It's something pretty big.
And here's the promo for episode 1.11, "Après Moi, Le Déluge." [via SpoilerTV]
Tomorrow People
Luke Mitchell said what he could about the rest of this season:
It depends on what road you want to travel down, because there's, obviously, the main story arc of Stephen and his father and Ultra. And then there's splintered story arcs that come out from there. Let's just say that there are some interesting relationships coming up that I wasn't expecting that were a lot of fun to play out, working with some different people that I hadn't got to work with that I think audiences will like. Obviously, John and Cara are going to continue down the complicated path and probably reach the highs or the lows of that, depending on your perspective on it.
Peyton List also explained what the fall out would be from the big revelation:
I think it is such a bombshell when they found out that he has the ability to kill and that the rest of the Tomorrow People don't have all the information as to how that came about and how he is now able to kill. But there's a lot of things that come out of that. And one of them is the fact that most of the Tomorrow People have bonded and are so tightknit and close because they're so isolated from the rest of humanity. They're different. And they find their togetherness because they're different. Well, then you add the fact that John is even more different. And how do they respond to that? Does he become an outsider from them, or are they going to close ranks around him and protect him and look out for him? And the fact that he kept it a secret will affect how the Tomorrow People respond to that. We definitely explore that coming up in the next few episodes.
[TV Line]
Showrunner Phil Klemmer said that there's always a chance for Luka to develop powers, too:
It is absolutely possible! That's how genetics works. It's the roll of the dice. The big question is whether he will break out, or if he doesn't break out, will that drive a wedge between the two brothers? Will it be effectively Jedikiah and Roger all over again? It's an interesting question for Stephen, because certainly it's complicated his life in a horrible way, and in a wonderful way. So, Stephen will eventually have to sit down and wonder what he's hoping for, for Luka. A human life, which is much simpler, or a paranormal life, which at least means that the brothers can remain brothers?
He also previewed Alexa Vega's character, who shows up in next week's episode:
She is designed to be our Tracy Slick from Election or Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. We love the idea that Stephen would have a partner at ULTRA who is just total ball-buster, by the book. As sexy and feminine as Alexa Vega is, she also can play a real hard-ass. The fact that Stephen, who is sort of a made man at ULTRA because of who his uncle is, we liked the idea of somebody coming into the company who has just got his number, and is determined to take him down. They have a very fun energy, and the fact that they're friends in real life, you would never guess it on screen; because there's a lot of vitriol between them.
Michael Trucco will be guest-starring as Riley's ex-boyfriend, who will be in charge of Secret Service unit. Riley and Gabriel will run into him in a story where a former president heads to Syria to negotiate the release of two journalists.
Also guest-starring this season will be Peter Coyote, who will play Leland Strand, Lillian's father. Marg Helgenberger (Lilian) said that the relationship isn't all that warm and fuzzy:
He's a former CIA director and we have a very complicated relationship, as you can imagine. He basically trained me to be in the position that I'm in.
At least I think he's playing her father. The TV Guide article also mentions "Leland and Lillian's daughter" (played by Laura Wiggins), so he could also be her husband or their father/daughter relationship is taking a Chinatown-style twist. [TV Guide via SpoilerTV]

(JTA) — Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center are collaborating to develop pediatric-specific medical technologies.
The collaboration will address the lack of medical devices designed specifically for children and their unique physiological needs, the Beersheba university said.
Cincinnati Children's is a leading pediatric hospital and research center, and one of the top two recipients of pediatric grants from the National Institutes of Health.
The development of pediatric devices is years behind the development of adult devices, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration. Children represent only 10 percent of the medical market, so there reportedly has been a history of insufficient funding and resources in the field of pediatric devices.
As part of the collaboration, the Ohio hospital's physicians will provide details on medical device challenges and engineers at Ben-Gurion University will match development opportunities with technical solutions.
"This groundbreaking project will hopefully yield significant medical innovations that are commercially viable and leverage BGU's world-class engineering capabilities," said Doron Krakow, executive vice president of American Associates, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. "It is significant that a prestigious hospital like Cincinnati Children's is working with BGU researchers to make a difference for children here in the U.S., in Israel and around the world."
