LOS ANGELES (November 29, 2012)– The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced today that producer, entrepreneur and humanitarian Russell Simmons will receive the Producers Guild's 2013 Visionary Award. The award will be presented to Simmons at the 24th Annual Producers Guild Awards ceremony on Saturday, January 26th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
Predominantly known as a music producer and hip-hop pioneer, Simmons is being recognized for his dedication to philanthropy and his work as a film and television producer who breaks down barriers to provide opportunities to emerging talent. From the seminal television series "Def Comedy Jam" to his role as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, Simmons continues to inspire people through his work as a creative and cultural visionary.
"Throughout his career, Russell has accomplished the kinds of things that only a true visionary can," said 2013 PGA Awards Chair Michael DeLuca. "He has seamlessly bridged the worlds of hip-hop music and filmed entertainment through poetry, comedy and music, offering viewers and music fans alike not just a reflection of themselves, but a hopeful glimpse of a world filled with art, joy and compassion. Whether he's championing new voices behind the mic, onstage, onscreen or in the classroom, or he is working to raise awareness about the victims of the global slave trade, Russell envisions a world populated by our 'better angels,' and for that, I'm very proud to call him my friend and we are so pleased to honor him with the 2013 Producers Guild of America Visionary Award."
Russell Simmons said, "I'm sincerely humbled that the PGA chose me to receive a Visionary Award. Just to be in the room with all those in the industry is a blessing."
Forbes Magazine recently named Russell Simmons one of "Hollywood's Most Influential Celebrities." USA Today named Russell Simmons one of the "Top 25 Most Influential People of the Past 25 Years," calling him a "hip-hop pioneer" for his groundbreaking vision that has influenced music, fashion, finance, the jewelry industry, television and film, as well as the face of modern philanthropy. From creating his seminal Def Jam Recordings in 1984, to the 2007 publishing of his New York Times best-seller "Do You! 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success," to founding GlobalGrind.com, a leading online destination for celebrity entertainment, music, culture and politics for the new, post-racial America and his latest New York Times best-seller "SUPER RICH: A Guide To Having It All," Russell is recognized globally for his influence and entrepreneurial approach to both business and philanthropy.
Giving back is of primary importance to him in all aspects of life and as Chairman and CEO of Rush Communications he has consistently leveraged his influence in the recording industry, fashion, television, financial services and jewelry sectors to give back. A devoted yogi, Russell also leads the non-profit division of his empire, Rush Community Affairs, and its ongoing commitment to empowering at-risk youth through education, the arts, social engagement, and promoting racial harmony and strengthening inter-group relations. Russell also serves as a UN Goodwill Ambassador for The Permanent Memorial To Honor The Victims Of Slavery and The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
Russell is a native New Yorker who attended City College of New York, and he has two daughters, Ming Lee and Aoki Lee.
The Producers Guild 2013 Visionary Award is sponsored by Delta Air Lines.
The Producers Guild Visionary Award recognizes television, film or new media producers for their uniquely positive or uplifting contributions to our culture through inspiring storytelling or performance.

Intel Lynnfield Core i7-870 and Core i5-750 Processor Review
Lynnfield Architecture
Intel's latest (and possibly greatest) desktop processor launch is upon us today and with it finally come the answer to questions we, and we assume you as well, have had for months if not years. The processor codenamed Lynnfield has been on our radar since at least the middle of 2008 and has been slowly gaining steam as details of the CPU were revealed. Of course a large majority of the technology in the Lynnfield processor already exists in the current Nehalem-based Intel Core i7 processors; but Lynnfield has a few new tricks up its sleeve to make today's release even more exciting for the average enthusiast PC builder, not the least of which is a lower price point.
Today I am going to walk you through the technical changes found in the Lynnfield cores, the various processor options available, pricing, platform considerations and course evaluate a metric ton of benchmarks and power consumption numbers to help you make the most informed buying decision possible.
Lynnfield Architecture - Nehalem plus or minus...
As noted above, the Lynnfield processors from Intel being released today are largely based around the Nehalem architecture that launched in November of 2008. My initial review of those processors includes just everything you would want to know about the design of the processors and the technical changes from the previous Core 2 architecture of CPUs. I will be briefly be going over some of those unique features here below but if you really want to take the deep dive into the world of the Nehalem architecture, you should really check out my previous review.
Die shot of a Nehalem processor
Key changes in the Nehalem architecture:
- Integrated memory controller - While AMD has been on the boat with integrated memory controllers on their Athlon line of processors (and now Phenom) for years, this was Intel's first CPU on the desktop to move the primary memory functions from the north bridge to the processor itself. The advantage of this is drastically reduced memory latency with the drawback of a more complex CPU socket and slower memory progression times as making new chipsets was always easier than building new CPUs. The Nehalem architecture was the first to offer a triple-channel memory controller (compared to the dual-channel on AMD's CPUs) and with it was able to push huge of amounts of raw memory bandwidth through the system.
- No more front-side bus - Again, first done by AMD's Athlon 64 line of CPUs, Nehalem was the first Intel desktop CPU to remove the words "front-side bus" from the system. Instead of having that aged, slow data and performance bottleneck, Intel developed a point-to-point interface known as QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) that is used for communications between different processors on a multi-CPU system as well as between the Nehalem CPU and motherboard chipsets.
- Shared L3 cache - By introducing Intel's first desktop shared L3 cache Nehalem was able to produce MUCH faster core-to-core communications on the same CPU. Previous dual-die quad-core processors from Intel used the front-side bus for communication, a process that was slow and prone to complication.
- Re-introduction of HyperThreading - The ability for one processing core to work on more than one thread of code at the same time is called SMT (simultaneous multi-threading), but Intel's brand for their implementation was known as HyperThreading back in the day of the Pentium 4. The technology went away when we had the Core-based architectures but found its way back with the Nehalem processors effectively allowing a quad-core CPU to run eight threads all at once.
- TurboMode - This was Intel's answers to the debate of processor choice: do you get the quad-core CPU with the lower frequency for improved multi-threaded performance at price X or do you get the higher clocked dual-core CPU for faster single-threaded performance at the same price X. Turbo Mode effectively allowed the Nehalem architecture to automatically overclock itself depending on the work load and thermal envelope available to it. If you are running just a single heavy thread then the Nehalem architecture would be able to overclock the frequency by 2 steps or so (266 MHz on average) as opposed to when the CPU was chugging on 3 or all 4 cores.
The new Lynnfield core is an answer to that problem and comes in aimed squarely at the mainstream consumer and enthusiast.
The new Lynnfield CPU die is very similar to Nehalem
The die size and transistor counts have changed with Lynnfield as well; all three desktop processors have a die size of 296 mm^2 and consist of 774M transistors on the Intel 45nm technology. What is interesting here is that Lynnfield is both larger and more complex than Nehalem that is 263 mm^2 and 731M transistors. Even though Lynnfield removes a memory channel from the die, the addition of PCI Express on the chip makes up the difference and then some. And even though Lynnfield's die size is larger than Nehalem, the actual CPUs are smaller since the packaging no longer needs pin outs for the third memory channel or a high-bandwidth QPI connection.
Here's what has changed:
- Dual-channel memory controller - Lynnfield does indeed still have an integrated DDR3 memory controller but here Intel has removed one of the channels from Nehalem to make the new core dual-channel. While this is theoretically a performance drawback, in real-world testing (as you will soon see) the third channel made very little performance difference in most consumer applications. By removing one channel Intel was able to make the CPU package smaller (less pins required), lower the cost of ownership (only two DIMMs needed now) while keeping performance very high.
- No QPI interface - While Nehalem used the QPI interface to communication with the north bridge of the motherboard, Lynnfield uses a connection called DMI. DMI is much slower than QPI (2 GB/s versus 26 GB/s or so) but in nearly all cases that bandwidth will be more than adequate for the amount of data moving between the processor and chipset even in a worst case scenario. Again, with this change, Intel was able to lower the pin count for Lynnfield in relation to Nehalem.
- Integrated PCI Express 2.0 - A first for a consumer processor, Lynnfield actually takes 16 lanes of PCIe 2.0 and moves them onto the die of the processor itself. That means that the graphics cards (or any other PCIe devices) now communicate directly with the processor itself rather than through a north bridge or chipset controller. The advantage here is for a lower cost chipset though I am betting that performance advantages from this are going to be minimal to non-existent. This is basically another move towards a more highly integrated platform on the Intel CPU.
- Split HyperThreading integration - HyperThreading is still around on the Lynnfield processors, but it will only be enabled on SOME of the product offerings. While the die size and transistor counts will be exactly the same, Intel will basically just flip off the HyperThreading capability in order to create a market differentiation and pricing segmentation. More details on what CPUs have what on the next page.
- Larger Turbo Mode differentiations - While Lynnfield was being prepared Intel's engineers found out how to get a little more frequency out of the Nehalem architecture and you'll notice that when you see the larger Turbo Mode improvements on Lynnfield. Essentially, the cores have been fine tuned in a way that will allow them to auto-overclock higher than even the most expensive Core i7 processors available today.
I think that most people would actually consider Lynnfield a "step back" in terms of raw technology and performance compared to the Nehalem processors released last year. And while true, the real benefit with Lynnfield is the performance and feature gains the user DOES get over the current Core 2 series of products on the market at the same price point. And as I think you'll find after looking at our benchmarks, Lynnfield's performance is close enough to give Nehalem a real scare.

This luxurious home is miles away from city life and almost an entity on its own. The homestay is managed by Mr. P. V. K. Kaimal and his wife Sajni. The couple has a successful background in government service and were based in Delhi till 2004. After retirement they retuned to their ancestral property and recently turned it into a homestay. The couple is reticent yet friendly and prefer to give people their own space.
The home has two enormous guest rooms to offer which have large wooden wardrobes and well-maintained bathrooms. The home is a fusion of traditional architecture and modern design sensibilities. As evident by the countless oil-lamps that stand next to their leather living room furniture. The home has three communal areas indoors but you can put a chair anywhere on the 4000 sq. ft property and put up your feet. Swings hanging from their centuries-old trees afford a lovely view of their pond and the waddling ducks. In the front is another open-air seating area, a heart-shaped lawn. The homestay also has a temple dedicated to the Snake-Goddess where prayers are offered periodically. And guests can take part in this spiritual experience.
The home is 30 minutes from Fort Cochin and 1 hour from Alleppey. So with a day tour one can cover all the tourist destinations in Fort Cochin like Chinese Fishing Nets, Santa Cruz Basilica, Jewish Synagogue and others. A cruise on the backwaters would require advanced planning, but Mr. Kaimal will be happy to offer his assistance wherever required.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Jun 11, 2013.
Questionmy husband died last month. we have an account with Merrill lynch that we have had for many years. I have submitted all the information that was requested, but still I am having trouble receiving any revenue from the company. Is this usual? If not, can you give me some insight on what I such be doing or do next.
Generally things take longer when you inherit an account. The holding firm will have processes in place to verify all the information necessary to move the account to a beneficiary or re-title the registation. Since you didn't specify the timeframe you are dealing with, I recommend you persist in following up on the status of the account and the transition. If the account was assigned to a particular representative, try following up with his/her assistant to determine the status. If you have trouble there, you could go to the branch manager of the location the account is assigned to. If the account was small and is lost in the shuffle at a call center, stay persistent. Ultimately, they will go through their process and release the funds. You can also contact the compliance department for assistance if things drag on for too long. I'm sorry for your loss.

As ever, great article, and happy to see 24ways back for another year. Once again, Christmas is relegated to being the second-best thing in December!
I only recently started using RGBA in live projects – as far as browser support goes, it's pretty decent, what with there being an easy (and valid) way to fall back to solid colours.

Miami's gain is Toronto's loss with Wednesday's announcement that WrestleMania 28 will be held at Miami's Sun Life Stadium on Sunday, April 1, 2012.
The Ontario capital had been in the running to host a third WrestleMania, at the Rogers Centre, instead losing out to Miami, which will host its first, just three years after WrestleMania 25 was held in Orlando.
World Wrestling Entertainment made the announcement at a press conference at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. It's a joint venture between WWE, the Miami-Dade Sports Commission, Miami-Dade County itself, the NFL's Miami Dolphins, and the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"Miami has always been the home of first class events, and this event will add to that legacy," said Jose "Pepe" Diaz, Miami-Dade County Commissioner and Chairman of the Miami-Dade Sports Commission in a press release. "Hosting WrestleMania is a huge coup for Miami."
"On behalf of WWE, I would like to thank Commissioner Diaz and all his colleagues for their support, and the Miami-Dade Sports Commission for graciously rolling out the red carpet to bring WrestleMania to one of the world�s most cosmopolitan cities," said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman and CEO. "We look forward to adding WrestleMania to the list of prestigious events held at Sun Life Stadium."
On hand for the press conference were WWE champion The Miz, Royal Rumble winner Alberto del Rio, John Cena, Mark Henry, and Eve. On the non-wrestling side, aside the politicians and businessmen who made the deal, former Dolphins Quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer Dan Marino was there, along with singer Emilio Estefan, who is a minority owner in the Dolphins.
Sun Life Stadium has seen many, many major events over the years under its previous names -- Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Park, Pro Player Stadium, Dolphin Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, and Land Shark Stadium. Spectacles have included Super Bowls, World Series games, the annual Orange Bowl, and countless concerts.
"For nearly 25 years, Sun Life Stadium has played host to South Florida�s world class events that provide economic benefit to the entire community," said Dolphins CEO Mike Dee in the release. "We applaud the efforts of Commissioner Diaz and the Sports Commission on attracting WWE, and look forward to an unforgettable WrestleMania in 2012."

High Chiefess
Elizabeth Kekaaniau Laanui Pratt
Longest Royal Survivor
Born September 11, 1834
Died December 20, 1928
Elizabeth Kekaaniauokalani Kalanijuiohilaukapu
Laanui was a favorite at the royal courts of King's
Kamehameha III, IV, Lunalilo and Kalakua. The
latter four were her schoolmates at the Royal Boarding
School, founded by Kamehameha III for the preparation
of Hawaii's future Rulers. Kekaaniau was the last
surviving member of it's original 16 royal students. In
1864, She married Franklin Seaver Pratt of Boston, who
served as Consul General and Minister of Finance to the
Hawaiian Kingdom. In 1920, she published memoirs of
the illustrious Kamehameha dynasty and collateral
branches of the Keoua lineage in
"Keoua Nui - Father of Kings"
"Last of Great Alii's Hears Final Call"
Honolulu Advertiser 1928
You can see Elizabeth's lineage at this link: http://www.royalark.net/Hawaii/hawaii.htm (she is listed near the bottom of the page). There is a wikipedia entry for her at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Kekaaniau with her complete biography. Her husband, Franklin Seaver Pratt of Boston (1829 - 1894) is buried next to her in the same plot at Oahu Cemetery. They had no children.
Interesting Historical Note!
Franklin Seaver Pratt may have followed his sister to Hawaii! His sister, Maria Pratt, married Charles Brewer, the son of Isaac C. Brewer and nephew to Captain Charles Brewer of the trading company C. Brewer and Co. of Honolulu. They were married on 27 March 1845 and immediately went to Hawaii so that Captain Charles Brewer could retire from business and return to Jamaica Plain, Boston.
The Brewer family exchanged many, many letters with my Great Aunt Mary (Jones) Dominis, and I have photos of the originals found in the Hawaii State Archives. They were such close friends that Captain Brewer named his second son John Dominis Brewer (1845 - 1879). Most of his other children stayed in Massachusetts, but John D. Brewer assisted with the business in Hawaii and died in Honolulu in 1879.
Not only that, but Franklin Seaver Pratt is a distant cousin to genealogist and genea-blogger, Randy Seaver of San Diego, California. We have been exchanging genealogy information on Franklin Seaver Pratt and his sister, Maria.
Randy's response at his blog "GeneaMusings" today is at this link: http://www.geneamusings.com/2012/12/im-related-by-marriage-to-hawaiian.html

I just learned about something called Seedlip, which is being marketed as a "non alcoholic spirit" for people who aren't drinking alcohol but are sick of childish, sweet soft drinks. Has anybody tried it?
What would be involved in making a sloe infusion out of it? The lack of alcohol raises the prospect of the fruit rotting. Does sugar prevent this? How much can you reduce the sugar and still get the effect?
What other spirits do you use for bottling fruit? Exchange recipe ideas here

Barbara Peacock studied fine arts at Boston University College of Fine Arts, and photography and filmmaking at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. She started as a street photographer and gradually became a lifestyle photographer. She has had the privilege to study with Mary Ellen Mark, Eugene Richards, and Ernesto Bazan.
Her project, Hometown, has just been printed in an 80-page book, with an introduction by Ernesto Bazan. It is a 30-year photographic project of everyday life in the town she grew up in and spent most of her life, spanning from 1982 to 2015.
Barbara is currently working on her project, American Bedroom. It is a cultural and anthropological study of Americans in their private dwelling: their bedroom. The nature of the project comprises portraits of individuals, couples, and families that reveal the depth of their character and spirit.

Sam Abell, Arthur Meyerson and George Nobechi recently shared a "buddy trip", traveling through the heart of Japan via train. While George lives in Japan, Arthur and Sam have frequently traveled to the country on assignment and to teach workshops. However, this trip was a very personal one, which allowed these three friends to do more than photograph together, but to also share a wealth of unique cultural and personal experiences.
In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses the importance of taking risks and how they can result in insights that will help your photography.

In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses how to consider color as a visual element and not just as the subject of your photograph. By stripping away the color in several submitted photographs he demonstrates why it's important to still consider line and shape, gesture and tonal contrast in building your composition.

First County Bank charts a steady course in local finance market
There's a story that Reyno Giallongo, chairman and CEO of First County Bank, likes to tell, earning appreciative smiles from his staff as he does so.
Recently, one of the bank's investment advisers' car broke down on the way to a meeting in Darien with a potential client who was considering investing $2 million with the bank. When calls for roadside repair failed, employees from two First County Bank branches ensured the stalled car was towed and the investment adviser arrived at his meeting with about 30 seconds to spare, and landed the $2 million client.
According to Giallongo, the story characterizes First County Bank and what distinguishes community financial institutions from the rest of the market: a local staff, a deep knowledge of the areas the bank serves and a strong customer service ethic. Dealing with the often personal matters of finance within a small circle of customers, a community bank hopes to engender the kind of trust that a long-standing family doctor does.
"We're really a classic definition of a community bank," Giallongo said. "A real community bank has a commitment to employees, to the community and to its customers."
Most populous in U.S.
Community banks, though smaller in size and scale, are the most populous financial institutions in the country. They make up 96.6 percent of all banks in the U.S., according to the Independent Community Bankers of America. More than 90 percent of U.S. banks have assets under $1 billion, placing First County Bank, which has assets of approximately $1.4 billion, among the larger community institutions.
"I think community banks, which have grown out of the old savings bank tradition, have real value," said Joseph McGee, vice president of public policy and programs at the Business Council of Fairfield County. "You're seeing them grow. People like the sense that their bank knows them."
As a mutual savings bank with no shareholders, First County has sought to identify itself as a thoroughly local bank, in a region of the state considered enormously attractive to financial institutions, large and small. Headquartered in Stamford since its inception in 1851, First County has 15 branches spanning from Westport to Greenwich, and a staff of 217, many of whom have worked for the bank for a quarter century or more.
Knowing the client
The daily transactions handled by a community bank like First County can span generations: parents handing money down to children, first-time homebuyers securing loans, the financing of family businesses. Giallongo calls real estate lending the "core competency" of First County Bank, and notes that by working within a small number of cities and towns, the bank's employees are familiar with the area housing prices and often with the history of individual customers' homes.
"This is a business where you will do well in direct proportion to how well you know your client," said Sandra Greer, vice president trust and investment officer at First County, who recently joined the bank from BNY Mellon. "It's a very intimate business; how many people like to talk about their money?"
Yet despite their ubiquity, community banks hold only 25 to 30 percent of the market share for all deposits, said John Carusone, president of the Bank Analysis Center in Hartford.
"A handful of banks really control the vast market share of loans and deposits," Carusone said. "But community banks occupy an important role in the industry. They compete on a basis of personalized service, convenience and creativity catered to the customer's idiosyncrasies."
At First County, its mutual bank charter, granted in 1861, ensures the bank is owned by and operated for its depositors.
"The reason we like the mutual bank charter is because it enables us to take the long view of what we do in the community," Giallongo said. "We don't have to report our earnings to Wall Street."
`Isle of safety'
That division between locally based community banks and the behemoth financial institutions of Wall Street has blurred and sharpened in the wake of the recession. In 2008 and 2009, the reputation of all banks, large or small, "took a beating," Giallongo said. He was quick to point out many of the undesirable practices the larger banks were engaged in, like subprime lending, were rejected as "dangerous" by First County, which takes a more conservative approach to banking and lending. For a while, public opinion and regulatory scrutiny tended to lump the small and local banks in with the national institutions, Giallongo said.
However, the public's disaffection with Wall Street quickly led to community banks being seen as an "isle of safety," Carusone said.
"Community banks were perceived in quite a favorable light in the banking crisis," he said.
More recently, local banks have improved their standing, and the view of the differences two distinct types of financial institutions appears to be growing clearer. In the wake of the crisis, in 2009 and 2010, many customers switched from larger banks to the community bank approach, citing discouragement with the former's service, said Robert Granata, First County's newly promoted president and chief operating officer.
"When the big banks were getting slammed for bad practices, we never did any of that," Giallongo said. "Community banking has benefited from taking the long view. The concept of community banks has resonated since 2009.
"From an examination standpoint, regulators realize it wasn't mutual and community banks that caused it (the financial crisis). But we all pay the price for the banks that did it."
Tied to rates
In today's market, technology has become the "great equalizer" between large and small banks, Carusone said, allowing local community banks to offer most of the same products and services as the regional institutions, with the added benefit of more personalized service.
One of the pervasive challenges of being locally rooted is following the crests and swells of the local economy. Without a wide geographic spread, a community bank's success depends more on the fortunes of the business around it, Carusone said. Community banks are also less able to diversify their sources of revenue, he said, and are more dependent on interest rates than larger banks.
Distinguishing itself among other banks, both bigger competitors and other community banks, First County characterizes itself by its local service. Most of its employees live in or near the areas they serve, and customers have come to know many by name, Giallongo said. Celebrations of individual employees' 20-plus years at the bank are increasingly common.
"We help (our customers) with very personal issues," he said. "Part of it is training, but part of it is finding the right people."

The Central Connecticut women's soccer team dropped their first home game of the season Sunday against the Providence Friars (3-2-1) with a final score of 2-1. Central sophomore Kerriann Welch scored the lone goal for the Blue Devils and was assisted by junior Allison Kelley. Central's overall record drops to 1-3.
The Friars were the first to score in the match in the 26th minute when freshman Catherine Zimmerman netted the ball off of a corner kick assisted by senior Laura DiClimente.
Play continued for the rest of the half while the teams traded possessions until, with just under 30 seconds on the clock, Providence junior Amanda Webster drew out Central goalie Nikola Deiter, passed her on the right and put the ball into the net. The two teams entered the locker room with the Friars leading 2-0.
Just over midway through the second half, the Blue Devils put their first and only score on the board when Welch, assisted by Kelley, shot the ball from the right side into the left corner of the goal. The goal is Welch's second on the season.
Welch led the Blue Devils with two shots and one goal followed by junior Jewel Robinson who also posted two shots. Kelley posted one shot in addition to her assist along with sophomore Julie Lavoie and senior Erin Egan.
Central will host the University of Connecticut Huskies (2-2-1) on Sunday, Sept. 9 at the CCSU Soccer Field at 1 p.m.

I like both and have both. My preference: Faconnable
I was just wondering about people's thoughts & suggestions between these two scents. I was in TJ Maxx earlier & noticed both priced pretty cheaply. I do love mint and also sharp/sour citrus & would like to find another fragrance along those lines. These both seemed like possibilities. Would anyone recommend either of these (or one over the other)? Also, how do these compare to YSL's Live Jazz, which I already own & love? Thanks in advance!
I like both and have both. My preference: Faconnable
I dont really care for either, but if had to pick, I'd go with Faconnable.
I remember having a sample of Faconnable and didn't really care for it too much. It's been awhile since I smelled it, but I was thinking it had a mature vibe, like maybe Pasha by Cartier, but I can't really say for sure. I was thinking about getting a mini of Iceberg Twice myself, but I haven't smelled it.

European shares consolidated their recent rise on Tuesday after a surprise drop in U.S. manufacturing added to worries about stalled budget negotiations, while the euro hovered at a six-week high on optimism over Greece's plan to buy back debt.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares opened steady at 1121.46 points, with a 0.1 percent fall on London's FTSE 100 balanced by small gains on Frankfurt's DAX and Paris's CAC-40.
Continue Reading Below
Worries about a looming wave of U.S. spending cuts and tax hikes intensified on Monday, after the White House dismissed a budget deal proposal from Republicans, saying it did not meet President Barack Obama's pledge to raise taxes on the rich.
In a sign that U.S. manufacturing may also be struggling to gain traction, the Institute for Supply Management index of national factory activity in November hit it softest level since July 2009, possibly hit by the impact of superstorm Sandy.
Berkeley Futures associate director Richard Griffiths said worries over the U.S. budget situation were causing many traders to err on the side of caution by selling shares to take profits after recent rallies.
"There's a lot of doubt about it at the moment, hence stock markets are drifting lower. Sentiment has just turned a bit negative recently," said Griffiths.
The euro extended its recent rally, hitting a fresh six-week high of $1.3077 as markets were reassured by news that Greece was planning to buy back bonds to cut its debt, which first triggered the euro zone crisis three years ago.
The European single currency's rise helped push the dollar to a one-month low against a basket of currencies, with its index falling to 79.761.
In debt markets, German government bonds were steady, as concerns over U.S. budget talks supported safe-haven assets even as better than expected terms for Greece's buy-back underpinned higher-yielding euro zone bonds.
In Asian trading, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dipped from a nine-month high falling 0.2 percent, while Australian shares lost 0.6 percent and Japan's Nikkei fell 0.3 percent.
U.S. stock futures pointed to a lower open on Wall Street when trading resumes and riskier assets such as commodities were also hit, with oil, copper and gold all losing ground.
"Oil markets are starting to come off on the weaker-than-expected manufacturing data and the fact that the U.S. economic outlook remains unclear," said Natalie Rampono, commodity strategist at ANZ in Sydney.

NHS 'on high alert during change'
The NHS in England is on "high alert" to make sure there are no failings as it gears up for the biggest change in its history, the head of the NHS says.
In an interview with the BBC, Sir David Nicholson said the coming months were "significant".
The health service is currently busy getting ready for the government's reforms to go live in April.
Sir David said he was determined to make sure care did not suffer during the changes and bedding-in process.
Under the reforms, GP-led bodies, called clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), will take charge of much of the NHS budget, replacing primary care trusts (PCTs) which will be scrapped.
Sir David said: "I would say the NHS is on high alert in relation to the potential for quality problems as we go through the transition."
Productivity drive
Sir David also warned the health service not to take its eye off the bigger picture.
The NHS is at the start of a savings drive - it has been told to save £20bn by 2015 through becoming more productive.
Sir David said the NHS had "started well" but more change was needed.
His comments come as fresh fears have been raised that cuts will have to be made to the front-line of the NHS, if it is to cope.
The government promised to protect the health service, but research by the King's Fund, based on interviews with 45 NHS finance chiefs, raises doubts.
The majority said they were currently managing to make savings without harming care.
But the think-tank said 19 expected care to get worse over the next few years, and that 2013 could mark the turning point, with only eight believing it would get better.
Some 27 of the managers who took part in the online questionnaire also said there was now a high, or very high, risk that NHS would not meet its £20bn target.
Increased demand
Meanwhile, a BBC survey of 1,005 people suggested 60% believed services would have to be cut.
The poll, carried out by ComRes, asked members of the public in England a series of questions about the NHS.
Some 61% agreed that they expected the NHS would have to stop providing some treatments and services in the future due to rising costs and increasing demands.
Nearly three-quarters also said they did not trust the government with the health service.
Prof John Appleby, chief economist at the King's Fund, said: "There are signs that future years will be harder.
"The end of the public sector pay freeze next April may add to financial pressure and increase the strain on services.
"The difficulty will be finding ways to absorb these costs without compromising the quality of care for patients."
But health minister Lord Howe maintained the NHS was "on track" to achieve its savings target.
He said £5.8bn was saved last year, while performance remained good.
"Waiting times have been kept low, infections have been reduced, there are more doctors, more diagnostic tests and more planned operations," he added.

Law & Order SVU "Behave" Recap & Review
This riveting episode of Law & Order SVU brings to light the backlog of untested rape kits in many cities across the country. (See an editorial on the subject: "Neal Baer and Mariska Hargitay: Ending the Backlog".) Rape is traumatic and the process of collecting evidence as part of a rape kit can only add to that trauma. If that evidence sits collecting dust, not only does the victim risk not getting justice and closure, it could cause other cases to go unsolved, or for further attacks to take place. If the victim believes that the attacker will not be caught, all the victim has left is fear that it will happen again.
Jennifer Love Hewitt's excellent performance conveyed her character's fear and her subsequent withdrawal from living a normal life. It was hard not to feel her anguish as she goes through the rape kit process again, knowing that previous rape kits have gone nowhere. As the detectives themselves staked out Vicki's place in order to try to catch her exiting her home, it only added insult to her injury; nothing like being stalked by an attacker AND the police. It was one of those cases where they almost had to treat the victim as they would a suspect; there was no other way they could help her and get her to open up about her attack.
It was very satisfying when Benson turns the tables on the rapist by having detectives constantly hound him and humiliate him in public with their accusations. Lucky for them he was their man, otherwise their taunts about him being a rapist could get them in legal trouble. I laughed when Benson told the suspect, "You're MY bitch now," since the word bitch is spoken by Benson, rather than being yelled at her (which is the norm).
The episode highlights that there is still a stigma attached to women who make accusations of rape. In Vicki's case, her past reports of rape never fell on the ears of anyone who really listened to her story or cared enough to follow through. At first, even Stabler seems to dismiss her accusations, especially when he hears that the attacks have happened more than once. I suspect that most rape cases are not like this one that would require a detective to travel to three different cities to get evidence, but if rape kits were processed in a more timely fashion, it could help to expedite catching serial rapists that are operating locally before they get a chance to expand their range. It could also give the victims the sense that they have value and their case is important - especially if the rape kit helps catch the attacker.
There was only one thing that really bugged me about this episode. Benson was a little sanctimonious when talking to Rex Winters about the fact that New York had no backlog with rape kits. She failed to mention that one of the precincts completely lost the police report from one of the rapes, which caused a disconnect with the evidence they had collected at that time. Since it was that evidence that eventually nailed the rapist (for kidnapping), it seems to me that poor or careless record keeping by New York law enforcement contributed to the delay in solving Vicki's crime. I know this is not the first time in the Law & Order universe – or the universe of other crime shows – where police files got lost and/or evidence misplaced. Maybe we need a Law & Order: File Room Unit to police that issue?
By the way, a web site has been established to bring attention to the issue of ending the backlog of rape kits, and it is scheduled to be active on September 29, 2010:endthebacklog.org .
Here is the recap: A woman is found, curled up and bleeding on a bus, and claims she has been raped – again. Detective Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) and Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) arrive at the hospital where they are told the victim, Julie (Jennifer Love Hewett), has been raped 4 times by the same man over the last 15 years. The doctor says she reeks like a wino. As Julie tries to leave, the detectives stop her, Benson telling her they need to do a rape kit. But Julie races off and Benson yells to her to not to take a shower in case she changes her mind.
Later, Benson and Stabler, along with Fin (Ice-T) visit the alley were Julie was picked up by the bus. There is blood, the same type as Julie's. There is also broken glass and a broken bottle of booze, the same color of glass found in Julie's scalp.
Back at the precinct, Benson says the doctors say that Julie wasn't drunk. They learn that her name is not really Julie, it is Vicki Alicia Sayers, they got the ID from her thumbprint on the bottle. Her prints were in the system because she applied for a civil servants job. The address on her ID is bogus. Captain Cragen (Dann Florek) suggests they check tax records as she would have had to use her real name.
At the residence of Vicki Sayers, the detectives see her peering at them through the window. She refuses to come out so they decide to wait in their car. They later see someone making a delivery of groceries and office supplies, and the delivery woman knows Vicki's door code. They decide to question that woman, and despite her reluctance to speak, she says she runs all Vicki's errands so she does not have to leave the house and pays her bills so she can't be traced. Vicki has a job working in medical accounting and works from home. She only goes there once a month and last went there yesterday. Benson tries again to get Vicki to let her in, telling her she knows what is going on and can help her. No luck. The detectives continue to watch her from their car. Stabler has to go back to prep for court and Benson stays behind.
As Benson waits, she sees a car pull up and Vicki leave and gets into it. Benson flags down a cab and follows. Vicki gets out of her car and Benson follows and sees her meet with a man and they exchange something. When they see Benson they both run off and Benson chases Vicki. Vicki stops and She pulls a gun out of the bag, and Benson pulls her own gun and tells her to drop it. She does, and Benson arrests her for criminal possession of a weapon.
At the SVU precinct, Vicki is in interrogation. Vicki says she had to protect herself, and says Benson is stalking her just like he is. Benson admits she pushed her, but adds the man is escalating and may kill her the next time. Benson notes that Vicki hasn't changed her clothes or showered, and convinces her to go to the hospital to do a rape kit. Vicki asks her to stay with her, and Benson says for as long as it takes.
At the hospital, while the rape kit is being done, Vicki says the first time he raped her was in 1995 when she was 16 working as a candy striper at a hospital. He raped her in a storeroom closet. She had never seen him before. He told her she'd better be a good girl and behave. He threatened to kill her parents if she told anyone and took her driver's permit so he would know her name and where she lived. He raped her again in November of 1998, she was a sophomore at Hudson, and he said she had been a very bad girl. He broke into her apartment and tied her up and repeatedly raped her, saying she was his forever. She did call the police and they did a report but she did not want to go to the hospital. On her 20th birthday, she got a jack in the box with a card that said he is watching her and to behave herself. She was too scared to tell the police so she ran, going to Los Angeles. She got a job and met a guy and got engaged but her rapist followed her and raped her in July of 2000, one week before the wedding. He was waiting when she came home from her bridal shower and punched her and broke her nose. He took her engagement ring and California driver's license. The neighbors heard her crying so they called police. They did a rape kit at the hospital. She cried all the time, and could not eat or sleep. It ruined her relationship with her fiancé Scot but she broke off the engagement and moved. She became a hermit and worked at home. One day she left the house and found her underwear gone and knew he was there. She came back to New York to live with her mother but when she died she moved elsewhere. When she came out of the subway last night he pulled her into the alley and raped her. He told her behave herself or she would die, and she started screaming and he hit her with the bottle.
Back at SVU, Benson brings Cragen up to speed and he says he will have a protective detail assigned and tells her to get the sketch out city wide and also to LA. A detective with the LAPD is getting information on the case out there. Fin tells them that the report of Vicki's rape in 1998 got lost when the 3-5 moved to their new precinct. Someone form CSU enters and tells them they found fluids, not semen but found something that is like a lubricant called Heavenly Touch, a bottle which was found at the scene, no prints. It came from the Amsterdam Hotel.
Benson and Stabler take the sketch to the hotel and show it to a woman who works there who says it could be Mr. Harris (James Le Gros), who entertains clients there in their lounge. The detectives see Bill Harris there and speak with him and show him the sketch and he agrees to come down to the precinct. They have Harris in a lineup and Vicki identifies him as her attacker. Later, in interrogation, he denies everything. They show him the bottles of moisturizer from the Amsterdam but he continues to deny everything. He said he was at a trade show in Providence for surgical equipment 2 says ago. He has a copy of the hotel in his briefcase.
Fin later tells the detectives and Cragen and it seems that Harris was where he said he was. There is video of him checking in and out and security said he never left the room. Cragen tells them to check back with the Amsterdam and recheck. Vicki later says this is not a mistake, and is upset that they are going to let him go. When she sees him being released, she runs after him and begs Harris to forgive him and not to hurt her. They have to pull her away from him.
The next day, the detectives are still working the case. Benson says her gut says Vicki is right. Harris is a rep for Qualitas Surgical for 22 years, has many community awards, and never been married and has no kids. She wonders if he has a problem with women. Benson gets an email from the desk clerk in Providence, Benson told them to go back over every inch of his hotel room. The desk clerk said that Harris had taken apart the window in his first floor room as it didn't open all the way. Benson also finds he rented a car just before he checked in and returned it the next morning. She thinks he drove down to rape Vicki. They wonder if he took and alternate route in order to miss the toll cameras. The alternate route matches very closely the mileage on his rental car. The detectives think that Harris thinks he is Teflon, and Cragen tells them to find something that will stick.
Benson goes back to Vicki's home and tries to convince her to continue to living her life and to take the power away from Harris. Benson promises Harris will never touch her again. Vicki comes out and Benson tells her they are going to give him a taste of his own medicine.
Later, Benson is tailing Harris and asks him if he is behaving himself. Fin and Stabler also follow him and make comments. In one of Harris's presentation to a group of people, Stabler asks Harris why he raped Vicki, identifying himself as NYPD. Fin is also passing out fliers with Harris' picture. Vicki also makes an accusation at a cocktail party and calls out Harris as her rapist. Harris steps aside and tells Benson he will sue for harassment, and she says to go ahead, he will have to testify. Benson continues to pressure him, and when he tells her to get out of his face, she says, "You're MY bitch, now." Harris says that they are all alike, "every one of you" and they are screwing with the wrong guy. As they walk away, Vicki is concerned about what happened, but Benson said he just slipped.
Back at SVU, Benson said Vicki is not Harris' only victim, saying that his comment about all women being the same means that he probably did not stop at raping one. Stabler shows by matching his travel dates with attacks in the cities he visited, they found 10 rapes with the same MO. Based on the victims, they think he hunts them in his comfort zone – hospitals. He stalks them and rapes them multiple time and has been terrorizing women across the country for 20 years,
Benson confers with ADA Sherry West (Francie Swift) and presents her evidence. There isn't enough evidence to arrest him for the current rape and the statute of limitation has run out on the 1998 rape. Benson says they have DNA from his other victims, and West thinks she may be able to get those rapes in as prior uncharged crimes, and tells Benson that she thinks Benson has some calls to make.
Benson gets on the phone and finds out Houston has a backlog of 4,000 rape kits. Birmingham has 2,000 untested kits, Phoenix 4,100, other cities confirm they have victims that match his MO. Benson decides to give them a hand in tracking down the rape kits. In Detroit, she sees there is a huge amount of kits, maybe up to 16,000, and only about1,200 have been tested. The precinct where the rapes occurred was boarded up and then it burned down last month. She heads to Chicago and finds one case with evidence missing and another contaminated with mold. She gets a call that LAPD has something for her.
Benson heads to LA and meets with Detective Rex Winters (Skeet Ulrich) and he says that the lab is processing the DNA, they had thousands of kits in the freezer. New York has no rape kit backlog. Winters says they found Harris has a storage locked in the area and he's had it since August 2000. He already has a warrant. At the locker, they break the lock and find a room full of large photos of the victims and a large television. Benson calls it his safe place. They find a book full of victim driver's IDs with the dates of attack. He also has movies where he is stalking the victims, and Benson sees Vicki on one of them.
Later, Winters gets a call from the lab and tells Benson that the DNA from Vicki's kit is degraded but the tech is willing to testify he can make enough of a match to Harris. Benson says she is going to collar Harris's ass and send it to Winters on a silver platter. Winters says it is hers; California has a 10 year statute and the clock ran out on Vicki's case 3 weeks ago, but Benson can still get him.
At a Supreme Court evidentiary hearing, ADA West shows the videos found. Vicki is on the stand and says it is her in the video and also IDs Harris as the man who raped her in LA and in NY. Defense attorney Trevor Langan (Peter Hermann) gets her to admit she did not see Harris this last time. He also mentions the DNA from California is not an exact match and could she have made a mistake. She is steadfast it is him. Judge Donnelly (Judith Light) says it is a travesty that the evidence sat untested for more than a decade, but, this happens every day all over the country. She says because the DNA is degraded and the chain of custody can't be preserved, she rules the DNA is insufficient to use as corroboration to identify Harris. Benson is shocked, her mouth agape. Harris has a creepy smile on his face. Donnelly dismisses the case without prejudice and says they can represent if they get better evidence. Vicki is upset with Benson and tells her to stop making promises she can't keep, and she runs off.
Back at SVU, Stabler tells Benson the FBI is taking over Harris' case. Benson wonders how many of those cases would have been stopped if the kits had been tested, and it like telling the victims they don't matter and telling the perps they can get away with it. She looks down at a roll of duct tape in an evidence bag and has a revelation, saying they may have had him all along.
She races to Vicki's home, and asks Vicki about the 1998 attack and wonders how long he stayed. She says he was there all night and into the next day and that he tied her up with duct tape. He never took it off her and the police collected it as evidence. No one ever called her about it. As Benson tells Vicki her police report had gotten lost, they never knew it was there. We see Fin finding an evidence box and opening it to find the duct tape.
As Harris is meeting with a woman in a restaurant, Benson and Stabler arrest him for kidnapping in the first degree. As they lead him into SVU, they tell him they have the duct tape to prove it, and Vicki is also waiting there, staring him down. As they lock him in the holding cell, Stabler says there is no statute of limitations on kidnapping. Harris pleads to Vicki to tell them they are wrong and that he loves her. As they begin to close the cell door, Vicki races up and grabs the cell door, stopping it. She says, "Now I'll always know where you are. Be a good boy." As she slams the door, she says, "Behave yourself" and walks off as we fade to black.

I think Bensons comment had more to do with the untested rape kits and less to do with unused & lost evidence.
I also laughed at Fin's line to Harris, "Yeah, well call the cops!"
Did anybody else find Harris's comment to Vicki "that he loved her" at the end to be a little odd? He tells the detectives the whole episode, that he claims to have never seen Vicki before.
What made him think THAT was the best thing to say to her at that, let alone saying anything to her PERIOD?
Didn't this guy listen to the detectives when they said, "Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law."?
Just seemed odd to me.
Otherwise another great episode, with a great performance by Jennifer Love Hewitt! Hopefully the show can keep up the hot streak.

And this is why I've loved SVU for all these years. This was a great story to tell, I can say I never knew about backlogs like that before until I watched the episode last night. I'm glad that Mariska spoke to Congress about it, something does need to be done.

"Behave" was yet another seamless epi of SVU.I had actually watched it in Canada on Tuesday, but being a loyal fan, I rewatched it Wed as well. JLH's stripped down performance was excellent.As always MH's role as the intrepid Det. Benson was riveting as well. It was nice that they threw in Stabler's dubious opinion of whether Vicki was in fact raped at all,let alone repeatedly and by the same man.This is where the intrigue comes from,I think.Very compelling story, well-acted, and well-told. Love your recaps,and blogs.

It's great that they're bringing attention to the untested rape kits and hopefully something will be done about them. I did, however, find the episode a little too slow on the pacing.
There were some funny moments though, like the irony of Benson saying "I'm gonna protect you Vicki, I promise" while having a gun trained on her. Also fun to see Benson calling someone a bitch - Mariska's height makes it so good for Benson to stare down perps. And the SVU squad stalking the perp - I really wish Munch were there, he'd make a really good annoying kind of stalker. Are they allowed to do that, though?
I also found it amusing when Langan was examining Vicki and they cut to Benson who looked at him with the "you are such scum" expression. Judith Light is always a very pleasant surprise.
Thanks for the recap and review ATL&O.

Thank you so much for your helpful recap, it was a life saver because my dvr cut off right at the part when olivia came to her house to question her about how long the rapist stayed. And this episode is not going to encore on the weekend like they usually do.
Thank so much!

After the mess that was last season, if you had told me I'd thoroughly enjoy the first three eps this season, I would have been doubtful.
But it does seem like they're getting back to the meat and potatoes of the series and away from the "drama." Even though I don't think we saw Munchkin, the rest of the cast did a great job and interacted well. The story line was timely and interesting, and Hewitt did a wonderful job.
I'm really thrilled to be looking forward to upcoming eps again.
Thanks for the recap All Things...

Things are looking up - LA expects to have 5000 rape kits processed by June 2011 (I think that's the end of the backlog): Sheriff's Department cuts backlog in testing rape kits

I just saw this episode last night while I was doing homework and to say it kept my eyes riveted to the screen is an understatement. I've always liked Hewitt, have ALWAYS loved Hargitay so to see them together was really awesome. Hewitt did an amazing job and Hargitay always delivers :). It was strange seeing Hewitt broken down when I normally see her looking gorgeous and impeccable, but she was still beautiful...even after getting hit with a bottle.
Totally loved the ending. How she slammed the door and told him to "behave". Classic, perfect. It's scary to think though that many rape kits had never been tested, had never seen the light of day. I'm glad justice was served in this episode...but I hope it will be too in reality.

>So I turned to BDR for an authoritative answer, and read: "Division
>objective genitive, subjective genitive, etc. is merely an attempt to
>emphasize some of the many possible uses of the adnominal genitive".
I think this is the truth of the matter. I think we can broadly
distinguish three original "cases" that use genitive endings:
pertinentive (adnominal), partitive, and ablative.
The "pertinentive" or "adnominal" or "adjectival" function is
<underline>structural</underline> rather than
<underline>semantic</underline>: it links one noun to another noun on
which it is dependent; one might say it means "belonging to" in the
widest sense, but that's not useful as a translation. Often this
genitive may be translated with an adjectival form of the noun.
Subjective and objective genitive are useful terms chiefly because the
subject or object of a noun expressing a verbal notion is so commonly
put into this "pertinentive" objective. But the difference between them
is strictly one of context, and it is often not clear which genitive is
the subject and which is the object. hH TOU PATROS THS QUGATROS FILIA
could be either "the father's love for his daughter" or "the daughter's
love for her father." There's no distinction at all in the inherent
function of the genitive here beyond the one which we assign to it in
our analysis.

Gone Shoegazin'
In honor of Shoe Tuesday I decided to take some glamor shots with my Blackberry. My feet aren't sure how to feel after I coaxed them to take their socks off. But I assured them the finished product would be tasteful.
Here they are acting all nervous--before I slipped them some valium in a glass of Champagne. These are my mom's green Oxfords. They've got a nice chunky heel and their leather is like BUTTAH. But I never wear them because they scrape my heels.
These are not my moms as far as I know, but they probably belonged to some mom. I got them at a vintage clothing store on Graham Ave in Williamsburg (ask me how much they were, ask me-- they were $40 bucks). They're from the 80's by a brand called Bandolinos. The woman at the store said Bandolinos was a really well-known Italian brand back in the day, so I've been thinking I'm walking on a gold mine. Then I Google-searched the name and I'm pretty sure they're sold at WalMart.
Note the tassels. Tassels are back-- big time. You heard it here first. If I didn't already have a pair of shoes with Tassels, I'd buy these Bass Gumsole Wedges.
But I don't have to because I have shoes with tassels. My life is pretty much set.
Send me pictures of shoes you inherited from your mom and I'll post them for everyone to see.

I have to make my first comment and say: Speaking of Imelda! There is a double disc CD by David Byrne (I know, genius, right?)about Imelda Marcos...can't remember the name...but loved what I heard on NPR.
Just a side point.
