Per capita sales of sugary sodas are down by 25 percent since 1998. People are drinking water instead. Taking the advice from my post of February 27, 2013 on the benefits of getting your daily Vitamin C from whole oranges, people consuming refined, fiber-free orange juice has plummeted by 45 percent over the last 17 years.
Since the year 2000, the consumption of sugary breakfast cereals has fallen by 25 percent. The purchase of frozen dinners and Mc-meals are down, sales of freshly prepared food have gone up 30 percent just since 2009, while young people have increased their enjoyment of vegetables by 10 percent.
Younger consumers, those between the ages of 20 and 37, are getting the message. Forty-two percent of this age group, known as millennials, when surveyed, expressed a lack of trust in the largest food companies.
Many are taking the advice of nutritionists by shopping the outer aisles of the grocery store, where whole foods like produce, meat and fish are found. Continue to send the large food conglomerates the message with your shopping dollar.

Less fuss this time over NYC trial of Osama Bin Laden's son-in-law
NEW YORK -- The first court appearance for Osama bin Laden's son-in-law and onetime propagandist unfolded at a Manhattan courthouse Friday without the fuss over security that the Obama administration encountered three years ago over its plan to hold a civilian trial for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
There were no signs of unusual police activity around the court complex as lawyers for defendant Sulaiman Abu Ghaith entered a "not guilty" plea on his behalf. Public officials who had warned in 2009 that Mohammed's very presence in New York would put civilians at risk said they didn't have the same fears this time around.
"Times have changed," said Michael Balboni, a top domestic security adviser to two New York governors.
Bin Laden is dead. Al-Qaida's ability to launch a strike in the U.S. is greatly diminished. Other terror trials have proven the city can handle security with minimal cost and disruption. And in any case, Abu Ghaith was known as a "functionary" in the al-Qaida network, rather than a leader, and as such was far less likely to inspire reaction from bin Laden's followers, said Balboni.
, New York's former deputy secretary of public safety.
"The NYPD is more than capable of locking down Foley Square and making sure they can protect anything going on there," he said, referring to the part of the city where the trial is taking place.
New York City had a solid track record for handling major terrorism trials until the effort to bring Mohammed to justice collapsed amid opposition to his presence on U.S. soil. The thrust of that debate was over whether al-Qaida figures were more properly tried in a military court, but security challenges also loomed as a factor.
At the time, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he planned to spend $200 million a year on extra security for the trial, which Obama ultimately moved to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly drew up a plan that would have created a "frozen zone" in vital business districts, involving thousands of extra officers and checkpoints for inspecting vehicles.
Since then, prosecutions of less infamous terror figures have quietly resumed in New York.
Three Queens men were prosecuted for plotting to bomb New York City's subway system. An Egyptian preacher extradited from Great Britain is awaiting trial on charges that he conspired to set up a terrorist training camp and helped abduct American tourists in Yemen. A former Guantanamo detainee who was once bin Laden's cook and bodyguard, Ahmed Ghailani, was convicted of playing a role in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa.
U.S. Rep. Peter King, a Long Island Republican who had been a leading opponent of the plan to try Mohammed in New York, said he agreed that Abu Ghaith's presence Friday didn't present the same security issues. But as a matter of policy, "Military tribunals are the proper venue for enemy combatants," he said.
"If the Abu Ghaith trial does go forward in federal court, it must not be used as a precedent for future enemy combatants who should be tried at Guantanamo," he said.
A police department spokesman said the department was unaware of any specific terror threats related to the case.
Asked about the security issue on his weekly segment on WOR Radio, Bloomberg said he had no worries.
"No street is going to be closed because of this," he said. "Would I prefer it elsewhere? I'm not going to get involved in that because I don't want to make the president's job any more difficult. He's got to decide, or the attorney general has got to decide, what they're going to do. Tell us whatever it is. We have a well-trained and adequate police department that will provide them with any services they need, if any."

Maryland: There's a new store coming to the Westfield Annapolis Mall (XSRE)
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Last week, I happened upon a Twitter party being hosted by a blogger I've done business with a few times in past, Rachel Ferrucci. This party was being held to introduce people to XSRE, a new store that has various locations opening soon (some have already opened). (If you're wondering, yes I did win a prize! I'm pretty lucky like that!) Here's a pic of what I won:
Sweet, right?!
After attending the party, I received an email to attend the Grand Opening of the XSRE that will be opening at the Westfield Mall in Annapolis, Maryland. Not many things happen locally that I am able to attend, but this one is, so of course I jumped at this chance!
Not to mention, I love accessories and so do my two daughters! I'm planning on taking my oldest daughter (who's 18) for some one-on-one mother & daughter time! Plus, I think she might qualify for the casting call!
Oh wait... that was the thing I was keeping hush-hush, so she could win the casting call!
Just kidding... Here's some deets on the casting call and store opening:
Be at the XSRE in Annapolis, MD, (click the preceding link for a map!) this Saturday, December 1st, from 2-4 pm for the store's grand opening, and for your chance to be the XSRE girl of the store!
The chosen XSRE girl from each store will win a 6-month modeling contract, be featured on the XSRE website and in ads, receive an all expense-paid trip to New York City for photo shoots, and receive a monthly $100 giftcard!
Hope to see you there!
Disclaimer: This post was compensated by The Blogger Connection. I will be given a $100 gift card to shop at the store Grand Opening, as well as $50.

Now that the NFL Draft has come and gone, and the Green Bay Packers didn't take a safety over the course of seven rounds and 11 picks, the position––at least on paper––stands as one of the thinnest on the team.
Reading between the lines, the Packers are putting a lot of faith in last year's fourth round draft pick, Jerron McMillian, and to a lesser extent M.D. Jennings and Sean Richardson.
Relying on Morgan Burnett is a given. He's been a full-time starter the past two seasons and coming off the best year of his career in 2012. There's little uncertainty with Burnett, but there is at the spot opposite him.
To be sure, there's reason for optimism regarding McMillian. His 27 tackles and one interception last season were a step in the right direction considering his limited playing time and small-school pedigree.
Above all else, however, it's McMillian's aggressive nature and ability to stop the run that comes as his most outstanding trait. His pass coverage still needs work if he hopes to become a three-down player in the NFL, but there's reason to think he'll develop into that type of defensive back with a little seasoning given his athleticism.
Whereas McMillian's strength is his in-the-box physicality, Jennings' is his fluidity in pass coverage. But weighing in at less than 200 lbs., he seems better suited for a backup role than a week-in, week-out starter.
Richardson could actually be the wildcard in the bunch. If healthy, his combination of size and speed presents a dimension unseen in other safeties on the team. But of course, there's the underlying health concerns.
This offseason Richardson underwent surgery for a cervical disc herniation. Coming back from such a potentially serious injury is no sure thing. But as long as he's given the green light by the Packers, you perhaps start to understand why they stood pat at safety during the draft.
It's still somewhat surprising, however, that the Packers didn't select a player at what was said to be one of the deepest positions in this year's draft class.
By no means was it disappointing to see the Packers address the defensive line in the first round at what was considered another obvious area of need. And it would have been pretty damn hard to pass up Eddie Lacy in the second round.
Even if the Packers have the utmost faith in McMillian, it's hard to believe they wouldn't have wanted to add competition––or at the very least, depth––at a position considered one of the biggest question marks in Green Bay.
Earl Wolff, Bacarri Rambo and Phillip Thomas were all available to the Packers in the fourth round or later, and all have the potential to be starting safeties in the NFL.
Even in undrafted free agency, the Packers went the route of taking a flier on a small-school project in Ben Ericksen of Illinois State (a native of Greendale, Wis.).
Including Ericksen, the Packers have six safeties currently on the roster, but among them, there's not a lot of proven commodities, perhaps lending credence to the notion that they could add a veteran at the position.
Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said as much in a recent article recapping the Packers' draft.
"It wouldn't be unexpected if the Packers signed a veteran safety (Gerald Sensabaugh, Kerry Rhodes, probably not Charles Woodson) to assuage their unfinished business," wrote McGinn.
Seeing as the Packers probably aren't looking for a starter, Woodson does seem unlikely despite his leadership and knowledge of Dom Capers' defense.
Sensabaugh and Rhodes are younger and more athletic options. Rhodes, in particular, was an All-Pro in 2006 and grabbed four interceptions in both 2010 and 2012.
Two former Packers are also available as free agents––Atari Bigby and Charlie Peprah––if they're are looking for someone with familiarity in Capers' system.
Assuming the Packers sign the 10 undrafted free agents listed at the Journal Sentinel, the roster will stand at 84 players, meaning there's six spots still to fill. Most of the open roster berths will be filled by more undrafted college players, some of whom will try out for the team during their rookie orientation camp.
There's still room for at least one veteran player, and the Packers would be wise to add someone with experience at safety. That player might not be starter or even make the 53-man roster, but it's worth having an insurance policy just in case a player like McMillian gets hurt or doesn't pan out.

The Daily Mail reported this week that some celebrities are getting paid big bucks to attend the Coachella music festival, which kicks off this Friday in California. The festival is always a star-studded event, and it's no surprise that brands want to cash in on a marketing opportunity.
What might surprise you is how much some celebrities are asking for in return for an endorsement. Kate Bosworth, for example, is asking for $30,000 in exchange for a product plug. Lea Michele already has a deal set. Lacoste will pay her $20,000 to wear the brand, according to The Daily Mail.
Watch here to see what other big names are looking to cash in:

I started wearing specs for reading but now need them for long-distance vision too, so now wear varifocals. However, visibility under water being what it is in even the best conditions, I find I don't need to see details far away so I go for the one prescription (plus 3 diopres) for the whole lens. Peter scoones, underwater cameraman, told me he has a lens for close-up in one side of his mask anda lens for distance in the other and his brain sorts it out.

Howdy All,
Marilyn and I hiked the strawberry loop on San Jacinto on Sunday. We had been warned about rattlesnake sightings on the Strawberry section, but fortunately didn't encounter any. The wildflowers at the Strawberry cinegea were exquisite -- I should have taken a photo. On Deer springs we ran into two Riverside Mountain Rescue Unit heroes (Cameron and Mike) who were hiking down. Had a nice chat and thanked them for their service. Also saw Doreen the Skyline Queen and her friend Liz. The weather was warm and humid but fortunately clouds moved in as we started the climb up from the Fuller ridge junction. Also enjoyed a bandana dip at the Bed springs crossings -- well, a bit more than that but trying to keep this PG for Hikin" Jim Topped off the day with a fabulous meal at the Original Las Casuelas.
Miles of smiles,

I'm a newcomer to SFV and am looking to meet some people to play with. I'm not really sure but I think I'm somewhere between 3.0 and 3.5. Currently, I can play anytime and am open to anything from just hitting to playing sets or matches. I moved out here from Maine with one of the basic reasons being to be able to be outside and play tennis year round so I'd love to hear from anyone interested. Thanks.

If you're ever in the area and would like to hit, let me know.

Greg - I'd be happy to hit with you some time. I'm about the same level and live in Studio City. Let me know what day or time works for you.
Hi, Yeah that would be great. Sorry it took me so long to reply. I could play Thursday sometime but otherwise not until next week. Greg (gregulation@yahoo)
It's going to rain tomorrow. Thursday afternoon would probably give the court enough time to dry out.
Let me know what time Thursday would be convenient for you.
Hi Greg,
welcome to L.A. I may be free to play next weekend (25th and 26th) if you're available. Hope so.

Have you ever come across "inverted XML"? Take this example:
<column name="first name">Halla</column>
<column name="last name">Ayers</column>
<column name="street address">7466 Etiam Avenue</column>
<column name="city">Arlington</column>
<column name="state">BC</column>
<column name="postal">T4K4O7</column>
The question is, how do we bind a "firstName" field to the data value: <column name="first name">?
We would much prefer to deal with this data in the form:
<streetAddress>7466 Etiam Avenue</streetAddress>
Then we would bind our firstName field to addresses.row.firstName. Easy.
But we do not always have control over the format of the data that we receive. If we are given the inverted form of the XML we have two choices:
- Convert to non-inverted XML using XSLT
- Bind to the data using predicate expressions
My preference is to avoid XSLT when at all possible. It would be very tricky with this example, because the names have spaces in them, so cannot be re-used as XML element names. Instead we use predicate expressions for binding.
We find predicate filtering in both XPath and E4X.
The XPath expression to identify the "first name" value from the sample is:
addresses/row/column[@name=="first name"]
The E4X expression is:
addresses.row.column.(@name=="first name")
The XFA SOM expression is either:
addresses.row.column.[name=="first name"]
addresses.row.column.(name.value=="first name")
The difference between the two XFA variations is that when brackets [] are used, the expression inside the brackets is evaluated as Formcalc. When parenthesis () are used, the expression is evaluated as JavaScript.
In all these examples, predicates are evaluated the same way. We take each candidate instance of the <column> element and evaluate the predicate expression in the context of that element. When the expression returns true, the element is selected.
Data Binding
This sample form (and sample data) has fields with binding expressions that display the set of addresses.
The (repeatable) address subform binds to addresses.row[*]
The firstName field binds to $.column.[name == "last name"]
The lastName field binds to $.column.(name.value == "last name")
Data Creation Problem
One significant issue with using predicates for binding is that we cannot easily create new instance data. i.e. it is not possible to infer the XML structure that corresponds to the binding expression. If we were to simply create a new instance of the address subform, the data we create would look like:
<column name=""/>
<column name=""/>
<column name=""/>
<column name=""/>
<column name=""/>
<column name=""/>
<column name=""/>
To get around that, we create our (empty) data before we create a new instance of the address subform. The script looks like this:
addresses.addRow::click – (JavaScript, client)
// define the data for a new row
var vNewRowData =
<column name="first name"/>
<column name="last name"/>
<column name="street address"/>
<column name="city"/>
<column name="state"/>
<column name="country"/>
<column name="postal"/>
// load the new row of data into the data DOM
addresses.dataNode.loadXML(vNewRowData.toString(), false, false);
// add a new instance of the address subform,
// and tell it to bind to the new data
Notice that the address row has been specified according to the data schema and has been inserted into our data DOM before the address subform was created. Then when we create a new instance of the address subform, it will bind to the data we pre-created.
The Deep End
Using this same data set, it is interesting to apply predicates in a slightly different way. In this example I wanted my form to display the US addresses first and the Canadian Addresses second. The form has separate subform definitions for each. If we had been working with the non-inverted form of the data this would have resulted in a pretty simple binding expression: $.row.[country == "US"]
But because of the inverted form of the data, the binding expression gets very complicated. We want to qualify the row element based on the column where name="country" and the value is "US". To get there we use a nested predicate to bind the row:
$.row.[ $.resolveNode("column.[name==""country""]") == "US" ]
The outer predicate filters <row> and the inner predicate filters <column>.

I'm starting to get back into tennis and looking for something to play with. Let me know if you're up for it!
Hi Margaret,
I know your post is now months old, but since the weather is warming up, any chance you're still looking for a hitting partner? I'm a 2.5-3.0 as well and live in downtown Boston, but can easily commute to Brookline. I'm feeling really rusty after the winter and a fall of no real playing, but I'd be interesting in finding a consistent schedule for hitting. Let me know if you're interested!
Hi Margaret,
I'm a 3.0 - 3.25 player
I'm available to play in the weekends and either after 6 P.M. or morning
before work weekdays.
I'm also a Boston Sports Clubs member so there's an option
to play indoors should the weather not permit playing outdoors.
Looking forward to playing with you,

Nursing Matters
..advocating for breastfeeding babies.. everywhere
From: Morgan Gallagher, chairperson
January 22nd, 2010
January 22nd, 2010
To: Stephen Moore, Executive Director, Social Work, Fife Social Work Department, Rothesay House, Rothesay Place, Glenrothes, KY7 5PQ Tel: 08451 555555 ext. 444112 | Fax: 01592 583253 firstname.lastname@example.com
cc: Nicola Sturgeon, Secretary for Health and Wellbeing, St. Andrew's House,
cc: Mike Brady, Baby Milk Action,
Dear Mr Moore,
I'm writing as chair of an NGO, to express our utmost concerns over the handling of the removal of Ben Robertson, from his mother's breast, this past weekend, under the direction of your Social Work department.
Breastfeeding, as you will know, is a human right. We are concerned that Ben Robertson's Human Rights are being infringed by the actions of your social work department.
As we understand it, Ben was removed from his mother's breast on day 4 of his life, and he is only being allowed access to his mother for 2 hours every other day. This is totally unsupportable. I would draw your attention to the following ruling from the English and Welsh courts:
"Per curiam. If the state, in the guise of a local authority, seeks to remove a baby from his parents at a time when its case against the parents has not yet even been established, then the very least the state can do is to make generous arrangements for contact, those arrangements being driven by the needs of the family and not stunted by lack of resources. Typically, if this is what the parents want, one will be looking to contact most days of the week and for lengthy periods. Local authorities also had to be sensitive to the wishes of a mother who wants to breast-feed, and should make suitable arrangements to enable her to do so, and not merely to bottle-feed expressed breast milk. Nothing less would meet the imperative demands of the European Convention on Human Rights."...
In the matter of unborn baby M; R (on the application of X and another) v Gloucestershire County Council. Citation: BLD 160403280; [2003] EWHC 850 (Admin). Hearing Date:
Whilst this is the English and Welsh courts, it refers to the
Lack of breastfeeding injures Ben's health. It increases his chances of several life threatening illnesses. As a breastfed baby, removed from his mother's breast, his pain and anxiety will be extreme. Babies removed from their mother's breast in this fashion, often suffer a lifetime of stress and the medical results of such stress. I don't feel I need to outline the entire catalogue of disaster that could be triggered in Ben's life, by the lack of provision to accommodate his well being, whilst his care order is being processed. The risks of not breastfeeding are well documented, and the risk of harm to Ben from removal of his mother's breast should have been part and parcel of the risk assessment of the care package being offered to support Ben at this extremely vital time.
We are extremely concerned about the apparent lack of thought about any aspect of maintaining Ben's breastfeeding. Why, for instance, were Ben and his mother not removed to a mother and baby unit, where they could be monitored? As
Why is regular daily access to allow breastfeeding to be established, not in place? Has the mother received adequate lactation support, to prevent her suffering pain and the loss of her milk supply? Our understanding is that the mother has requested her milk to be fed to Ben – has this been carried out? Has she been taught to hand express? Is her milk being collected and taken to Ben? Has she been supplied with an industrial grade hospital pump? Her milk supply would be barely in on day 4, has Ben's milk been protected? Is he being cup fed to protect his ability to latch? Has the foster family been told that Ben should not be given a dummy or pacifier, if he has never had one, in line with NHS and WHO guidance on protecting and establishing breastfeeding in the newborn?
The mother is still the mother, and as the above court ruling makes clear – it is the duty of social services to support the baby's breastfeeding, in order to protect the Human Rights of the Child. We see no evidence of this in your reported care plan for Ben.
We protest in the strongest possible terms, and ask that adequate facilities are immediately put in place to support Ben's breastfeeding, at all costs. Formula feeding is a risk activity – it risks Ben's health both directly, and indirectly. On this, there is no confusion or doubt. As a child in the care of Fife Social Services, you have a duty to uphold Ben's Human Rights, and to allow him access to his mother's breast in order to support his breastfeeding. At the very least, you can ensure that formula is not given to Ben unless the mother herself wishes it.
I look forward to your early reply to our concerns and questions. We can supply expert witness, on all the statements I have made above, as well as extend any professional help that
However, the vacuum that Ben is now in, without access to his mother's breast, is completely intolerable. I'm sure that many others in the lactation community will be in touch, to request that Ben's rights are upheld at all costs. Until a permanent order is in place, removing the mother's rights to her child, Ben's breastfeeding should be upheld – it is his right.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you require further information
Morgan Gallagher
Chair, Nursing Matters
If you wish to also complain, do not complain about the removal. You cannot complain about the removal, and be heard. It is their right, and brief, to assess for harm. They have a duty to the child, to keep it safe. That's why the complaint is about not making provision for breastfeeding, whilst that assessment is made. It is no business of ours, to second guess the assessment. Only after the assessment, can comment be made on the outcome. The issue is the care provision.

I'm really excited to share with you my review of Eco Lips and also get to hold a giveaway for their lip balm with you!
Eco Lips is a company I feel 100% safe using their products. They are an organic lip balm company that raises awareness of the importance of using pesticide-free organic products, doesn't test on animals, and even makes their lip balm with solar powered energy. As an eco-friendly consumer, I really appreciate their product as well as their company.
I was able to test out some of their lip balms over the past few weeks. I have sensitive skin, and some lip products do not go well with my skin. Eco Lips didn't irritate my skin at all and moisturized my lips!
My favorite lip balm that I tried was the Eco Lips Hemp. It is infused with organic herbs, vitamins and the finest hemp seed oil. Hempseed oil has Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids, including gamma linoleic acid. It says that it nourishes and rejuvenates, and I have to say that it does, at least for me.
A close second was the Eco Tints Rose Quartz lip balm. I have a large issue with most lipsticks, so getting color on my lips is an annoying thing to go through (especially if it irritates my skin). You'd be surprised to know how many lipsticks contain gluten (which I cannot use). I was extremely happy with this lip balm though! It gave my lips shiny color and moisture – without any irritation at all!
Free Sample for All!
Even if you do not win the Eco Lips giveaway, you can still get a free sample of their amazing lip balm for just $2 to cover the shipping and handling cost.

Mariah Carey has opened up about her stint as a judge on "American Idol," joking that sitting beside pop rival Nicki Minaj was like "working with Satan."
The "Hero" hit maker joined the popular talent show last year and served as a judge and mentor to young hopefuls alongside Minaj, Keith Urban and producer Randy Jackson.
She admits she went into the show thinking it would be a lot of fun, but it quickly became a disaster when she fell out with the "Starships" hit maker during the auditions.
Detailing the nightmare experience for the first time since her departure from the show in June during a radio interview with New York's Hot 97 on Wednesday, she said, "Honestly, I hated it. I thought it was going to be a three-person panel. They gave me a nice dangling monetary moment, and I was just like, 'OK, Randy Jackson will be there; I've known him forever. He used to play bass for me. Like, this isn't a big deal. This will be nothing'.
"But it wasn't that. It was like going to work every day in hell with Satan."
Carey was quick to cover her tracks and added, "I'm just playing. It didn't affect me that much (but) I was disappointed."
She insists her time on the show wasn't completely wasted, because did enjoy watching Idol's young hopefuls blossom.
She added, "You know what I loved? I loved the contestants. And some of them that were so good – and also really good people, you could tell – it was disappointing when the judges would, for political reasons, not put people through."
While Carey is busy promoting her new single, "The Art of Letting Go," Urban is returning to the judges' table with Harry Connick, Jr. and Jennifer Lopez for the upcoming 14th season of "American Idol."

Welcome to Texas on the Potomac's "The Week Ahead," a preview of events to come on Capitol Hill and at the White House this week.
This week's report was written by William K. Moore of ViaNovo.
The least productive, most polarized, lowest rated Congress in generations departed Washington Saturday morning to return the week after the general election.
After midnight, the Senate cleared the continuing resolution for President Barack Obama's signature, keeping government operating at current spending rates through March 27, 2013. Senators also approved a package of executive and judicial nominations. Earlier in the week, both chambers voted on political message measures: Representatives advanced a bill to end the "war on coal" and Senators bottled up President Obama's Veterans Jobs Corps proposal.
Top agenda items left for the post-election Lame Duck session include a farm bill, the defense authorization, Postal Service reforms and Violence Against Women Act renewal.
Congress hit the exits without any effort to avert the fiscal cliff budget chaos that takes effect January 1, when the Bush and Obama tax cuts expire, and January 3, the effective date of $109 billion in automatic spending cuts
The current election outlook favors a status quo result – with Republicans retaining their House majority, Democrats continuing to control the Senate and President Obama winning reelection. Other scenarios involving a Republican Senate majority or the election of Mitt Romney would likely lead to postponing fiscal decisions to next year.
While a long-term grand bargain is unlikely during the Lame Duck session, a status quo result could lead to President Obama and Speaker John Boehner, having learned from their 2011 debt limit negotiations, working a modest delay in the fiscal cliff, building confidence for a 2013 deal that breaks partisan boundaries on revenue and entitlement spending.
Absentee and early voting began this weekend in half the states, narrowing the window during which Romney can change the campaign's trajectory. His remarks about not caring for the 47 percent of Americans dependent on government prevented his campaign from altering the curve last week.

I see a couple of references (in the json wiki descriptions, and on this board) regarding API-next (or should that be API-TNG?)
Is there a place where the goals for the new API are documented, and is there a WIP set of docs with the currently planned new capabilities/features can be shared (even if not yet ready for prime time)?
And a target goal quarter for the early availability (2017 Q2, Q3?)?
And (for completeness) a target goal for the retirement of 20141201 (maybe sometime in 2018?)?
Those two target goals let those of us JSON API developers sort of estimate their work date load schedules.
Thanks for anything you can share.

Sharing is hard. This is a lesson the Wii U may teach parents and children in painful detail.
Nintendo is pushing a new ad campaign for the upcoming Wii U console launching later this month.
People have made plenty of arguments as to why the Wii U will be underpowered, not truly "next-gen" and quite possibly a giant gimmick targeting the casual market while ignoring more serious gaming.
I'm not so sure. I think the Wii U will be high-powered enough for the majority of Nintendo fans - after all, 1080P is the goal here, and the Wii U should achieve that without any problems.
Furthermore, with games like Bayonetta 2 coming to the console, there shouldn't be the same problem with serious content that the Wii faced.
The tablet controller may be a bit gimmicky (and may open the door for lots more on-disc DLC) but it might also turn out to be really fun for all sorts of games - whether you're an RPG fan and you want a better map and inventory module, or a casual gamer who enjoys the combination of touch-based controls with party games, etc.
No, the real problem is more insidious: what do parents with more than one kid do about sharing the tablet controller?
How quickly does a fight between brothers and sisters turn into grabbing and - gasp! - throwing that expensive tablet controller across the room.
This could be a real problem with no real solution.
If you're not a parent, just imagine yourself as a kid again.
"Why does she get the controller it's my turn!?" "Nu-huh, it's my turn!" "No it's not!"
"Moooommmmy she bit me!"
Give me the damn controller daddy's going to play now. Kids, go to your rooms.
Yeah, this may not end well.
Oh, and this new Nintendo commercial is terrifying.
These people live in giant, windowless cubbies; they spend all their time smiling garishly at giant screens; and they listen to some of the worst music ever made.
Truly, this commercial does not make me want a Wii U - the line-up of games and the 1080P make me want a Wii U.
What is it with Nintendo lately? They announce all these amazing launch titles for the Wii U and then botch the ad campaigns for both it and the 3DS.

If making your crust from scratch, which I highly recommend (it is Thanksgiving, after all!), please review my Let Them Eat Pie series. You may also use plain old canned pumpkin instead of...
Gardening is an act of faith. You plant seeds. They sprout or they don't. The ones that sprout may mature or not. There may be hail, torrential rain, drought, late/early frost, birds, insects, or all of the above. But you plant anyway, and you tend, and you weed, and if you happen to be blessed with a combination of persistence, know-how, and sheer luck, you will reap something. It may not be exactly as you had hoped, but it will be a start.
Tomatoes, in my mind, are the epitome of this show of faith. Every year that I've grown tomatoes, some prohibitive force has prevented me from having a bumper crop. The first year, a long, cool, wet spring caused most of my seedlings to dampen off. The second year, poor soil and drought halted my harvest. This year, a combination of too much rain at the wrong time and hot, hot weather caused many of my tomatoes to crack and rot on the vine before they ripened.
However, there is some assurance to be had in the smaller tomato varieties. They mature faster, tend to bear more fruit, and are often very flavorful, as if to compensate for their smaller stature. This year, in addition to planting some heirloom varieties, I hedged my bets by planting a variety of golden cherry tomato called "Dr. Caroline."
These bright and utterly sweet tomatoes were the first to set fruit, the first to ripen, and my most prolific tomato. We ate most of them out of hand or in salsas and salads, but we had enough to put up one batch of Golden Cherry Tomato Ginger Jam. This recipe is directly from the Joy of Cooking and is truly a pleasure to look at and to eat. It is an almost glowing golden color. Set a jar of it on your windowsill to catch the light and you'll see what I mean.
This recipe is the yin to tomato jam's yang. I won't go so far as to say it's better; it's just a very different sort of tomato jam. More jammy and less ketchupy, bright and citrusy, and a good use for golden cherry tomatoes. It can be used like a jam--on toast. It can also be served alongside a stinky cheese or even as a topping for ice cream. The tomato flavor is there, but the marriage of sweet tomato, lemon, and ginger make for something that straddles the line between dessert and dinner.
Before you begin any canning recipe, sterilize your jars. Remove the lids and rings. Place the jars in a large pot with a rack in the bottom, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes. Place the lids and rings in separate saucepans, cover them with water, and heat over medium. Do not boil the lids. Simply heat them.
I like to have a "canning station" set up to make things easier. I have my jars sterilized and sitting on a clean kitchen towel on the counter by the stove. My lids and rings are in separate saucepans, and I have a pair of tongs to remove them from the hot water as I need them. I also have a canning funnel, a jar lifter, and a ladle at the ready. A butter knife serves as a tool to remove air bubbles from the jars. As soon as the jars are filled, the pot of water I sterilized the jars in will serve as my water bath.

Wash and slice in half, reserving the juice:
2 pounds yellow or orange cherry or plum tomatoes
If using plum tomatoes, quarter them. Either way, combine in a bowl with:
2 cups sugar
Steep for 4 hours at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Peel, cut into rounds, then slice into matchsticks:
4 ounces fresh ginger, washed
Place a small plate in the freezer. Place the steeped tomatoes and ginger in a large saucepan along with:
5 tablespoons bottled lemon juice
Finely grated zest of 2 lemons
Slowly bring the syrup to a boil, then boil rapidly until it thickens visibly and falls from a spoon in heavy drops. Remove from the heat and place a small spoonful of jam on the cold plate. Place it back in the freezer for 3 minutes, then run your finger slowly through the jam. It should wrinkle as your finger runs into it. If it doesn't, return the jam to the heat and cook a few minutes more until it passes the wrinkle test.
Ladle the jam into clean, hot half pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims, place lids on the jars, and screw on rings until fingertip tight. Place jars in the water bath, bring the water to a boil, and process for 10 minutes after the water has come to a boil. Remove from the water bath and let cool completely. You should hear little popping sounds as the jars seal. If, after 24 hours, all the jars have not sealed, you can re-process the unsealed jars or just place them in the refrigerator and use within 1 month.

Butterflies to swarm North Florida
Like many a human snowbird, monarch butterflies wing their way south from Canada and the northern United States as soon as the first cold front passes through. There are millions of these orange-colored flutterers, and many of them make North Florida a rest stop before continuing on to their winter homes in Mexico.
Swarms of them come in late October and November to Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge, 20 miles south of Tallahassee, which stages a major Butterfly Festival every year. This year, the 25th annual fete will be held at the refuge Oct. 26. "We'll get 2,000 or 3,000 visitors," said Connie Clineman, a refuge volunteer who drives one of the tour vehicles during the festival. www.fws.gov/saintmarks.
The advent of the migrating monarchs also will be celebrated at another butterfly festival, this one at the University of Florida's Museum of Natural History, home of an excellent butterfly preserve called Butterfly Rainforest. This year, Butterflyfest will be held at the Gainesville museum Oct. 19 and 20. http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/butterflyfest/.
Another major butterfly facility in Florida is Butterfly World, a commercial attraction in Coconut Creek that is the world's largest butterfly park. www.butterflyworld.com.
Monarchs also may be seen in small butterfly gardens found in many Florida locales.
With Halloween coming on, it's the season for pumpkin patches and corn mazes.
You may not see the Great Pumpkin rising above these fields, but you can buy a pumpkin to carve at dozens of Florida locales. Most popular are those patches where guests can pick a pumpkin directly out of the field. However, at most patches the pumpkins are brought in and put in piles for customers to look over.
Along with pumpkin patches, many farms at this time of year have corn mazes. These are fields of tall corn interlaced with twisting paths, and guests have fun trying to find their way out of them, especially families and small children. Some farms also offer another happy October tradition, hay rides.
For a list of these sites in Florida, go to www.pumpkinpatchesandmore.org.
You'll be hearing a lot about this colorful, bizarre and sometimes X-rated festival that puts Key West in a state of frenzy for 10 days every year in October.
This year the fest will take place Oct. 18-27 and its theme is "Super Heroes, Villains...and Beyond." Look for them at masquerade balls, costume contests, street fairs and parties. Festival climax comes with the grand parade on Oct. 26, with floats, bands, exotic marching groups and a lot of uninhibited exhibitionists. In past years, the latter have included folks wearing all sorts of outrageous costumes, include some wearing body paint ... and nothing else. The grand marshal will be Diane Nyad, riding on a float decorated to commemorate her marathon swim from Cuba to Key West. www.fantasyfest.com.
A week of free events awaits visitors to Florida's most famous birding refuge, the J.N. "Ding" Darling Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island during the 24th annual Ding Darling Days celebration Oct. 20-26. Each day will offer free activities, including live wildlife presentations, naturalist tours, beach walks, tram tours, nature crafts, touch tank, snacks and other doings. Muppeteer Jim Henson's daughter Heather will be back for a second year to perform with life-size puppets of endangered wildlife. www.dingdarlingsociety.org/dingdarlingdays.php.
• The Petanque America Open, to be held in Amelia Island Nov. 8-10, is expected to attract close to 300 players. The goal is to toss or roll hollow steel balls as close as possible to a small wooden target ball. Last year, the tourney brought together 256 players from 20 states and 11 countries. www.petanque-america-open.net.
• About 250,000 visitors are expected to flood downtown Mount Dora Oct. 26 and 27 for the 29th annual Mount Dora Craft Fair. More than 350 craftspeople will be on hand. www.mountdoracraftfair.com.
• Florida's stone crab season opens Oct. 15 and the Florida Keys will celebrate with the third annual Stone Crab Eating Contest in Marathon Oct. 19. Entry fee: $25.
• Busch Gardens has partnered with Tampa's International Plaza mall to create a new children's play area in the mall. The new area features animals such as hippos, a baby elephant, baby lions and an alligator as well as a train, safari truck and 13-foot Cheetah Hunt Tower.

Burbank now boasts a martial arts museum that city officials say will diversify the city's entertainment attractions.
The Martial Arts History Museum, founded by President Michael Matsuda in 2007 in Santa Clarita, has relocated to Burbank, and it officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 25.
In the floor plan, Matsuda has kept in mind the progression of the martial arts beginning in Asia and their introduction to the United States through TV and film starting in the 1960s.
The museum space is divided into sections representing the areas that adopted their own styles of martial arts. Martial arts originated in China, Matsuda said, so artifacts, fighting costumes and weapons from that country are displayed in the first section that greets visitors. Japan is next, followed by Korea, Hawaii, the Philippines and then America.
"When ancient Chinese warriors were creating Kung Fu, they watched how monkeys and tigers fought," he said. "Chinese operas use martial arts — spears — in their fighting."
Also on display are Chinese swords. Matsuda pointed out the differences between the ones used by nobility and those used by commoners.
Posters of martial arts icons look down on visitors from the walls, and at the top of each wall a timeline illustrates the introduction of the martial art to its respective country and when it came here, Matsuda said.
One of the posters is of Chinese Grandmaster Ark Yuey Wong, whose students included Bruce Lee and David Carradine.
"In 1960 [Wong] was the first Chinese instructor to teach Kung Fu in America," Matsuda said. "He's considered the father of Kung Fu in America. The poster of him and a uniform were donated by his students."
The museum also has Tournament, Thai and Media sections. The pictures of four world champions of martial arts take up one wall in the Tournament Section, including Chuck Norris, who was a top point fighting champion in karate.
"In the Media section we talk about the impact of martial arts in American film, TV and print," Matsuda said.
Martial arts film actor Don Wilson, who has won 11 world titles in kickboxing, stopped by the museum on opening day. The posters from the 1970s films "Billy Jack" and "Enter the Dragon" supported the historic impact of martial arts on the entertainment industry, Wilson said.
"The 1971 film 'Billy Jack' is considered by martial arts fans as the first American martial arts movie, and 'Enter the Dragon' in 1973 with Bruce Lee is one of the first films to star an Asian actor," he said. "So that's what the museum is trying to do — show the history of the martial arts."
Burbank Mayor Jess Talamantes also attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"We're pleased they decided to make Burbank their home," he said. "It's just something else the residents of the community can enjoy."
Future events Matsuda plans to have at the museum include talks by martial artists; cultural workshops, such as sushi making, tea ceremonies, painting and calligraphy; and performance demonstrations, like lion dancing. Matsuda also hopes to partner with surrounding studios to preview movies and animated films — anything that has to do with martial arts, he said.
What: Martial Arts History Museum
When: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday
Where: 2319 W. Magnolia Blvd., Burbank
Cost: $6 adults and seniors; $3 for ages 6 to 12 and free for children under 6

Georgia College & State University plans a send-off rally
Thursday for its Regional Champion Bobcat Baseball team as it
embarks for Cary, N.C. and the NCAA Division II World Series.
A university and community rally will be held at noon on Thursday in front of the Paw Prints bookstore in the Maxwell Student Union Building near the front campus, with President Dorothy Leland, Athletic Director Wendell Staton and Coach Tom Carty providing the send-off remarks. Thunder the Bobcat mascot and Georgia College cheerleaders will participate, while the Student Government Association will provide balloons.
"This is an exciting achievement for our Bobcat baseball team and we want all of our players to know that they take the hearts and spirit of Georgia College with them as they compete for the national championship," said President Leland. "Come out and show your support for these great student-athletes!"
Georgia College students, faculty and staff, as well as community members, are encouraged to wear blue and green for the event.
Earning a berth in the eight-team World Series competition for the first time since 1995, the Bobcats will take on nationally top-ranked UC-San Diego at 5 p.m. on Saturday.
The World Series Bobcat games will be broadcast locally on 102.3FM or 1450AM, and on the internet at www.country102fm.com. The full schedule is still incomplete, but the Bobcats will play again on Monday.
Last Sunday, the ninth ranked Bobcats (39-15) blanked sixth-ranked Francis Marion University (40-14) 9-0 in the regional championship game of the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Tournament. This is the second regional baseball championship in Georgia College history.
"The guys played great baseball for four days, good team baseball," said Head Coach Tom Carty in just his third season as Bobcat skipper. "We knew we were capable of this back in August, and we just kept working toward getting at this level. Having a chance to get to the World Series has been a goal, and now we have the opportunity to win a National Championship."

organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Magenta is a semi-transparent and powerful bluish red with an impressive mixing range. It makes an excellent glazing color and is one of the bluest of the Quinacridone colors. The pigment's properties vary considerably, depending on how it is ground. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Magenta offers very good lightfastness in most media, but some have argued that it is less lightfast in watercolor form. Although Quinacridone Magenta received only a passing grade of "fair" under ASTM test protocols, other test results have rated the pigment very good to excellent. Transparent reddish violet pigments in general have more problems with lightfastness than any other range of colors. PR122 is often used as the Magenta of CMYK (four color) process printing because it offers a better tradeoff between tinting strength and lightfastness than other pigments in its class.
Quinacridone Magenta has no acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Quinacridone Magenta came from a red violet aniline dye that was first produced in 1858 by Natanson. It was called Magenta to commemorate a battle in Magenta, Italy. Over time, Magenta became the standard color name for a deep, violet red. Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. PR122 has become particularly popular in the formulation of Magenta for CMYK process printing.
