Polls back Obama on 'fiscal cliff'
There's a reason President Obama and aides believe congressional Republicans will cave on the issue of higher taxes for the rich -- the polls are with them.
A new ABC News/Washington Post survey says 49% approve of Obama's handling of talks to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff; while only 25% approve of how House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has handled the negotiations.
ABC News did point out "that's at least in part because many more people are in the dark about Boehner's efforts, underscoring a president's greater ability to command the spotlight to make his case -- and to draw more unified backing from his party's core supporters."
The fiscal cliff is a series of tax hikes and budget cuts that take effect next year -- unless the White House and Congress reach an agreement to start reducing the nation's $16 trillion-plus debt.
White House officials say the polls -- not to mention Obama's re-election win on Nov. 6 -- reflect strong support for his plan to increase tax rates on couples who make more than $250,000 a year.
According to a Bloomberg National Poll, "65% of Americans say the Nov. 6 results gave Obama a 'mandate' on his proposal to raise tax rates on income over $250,000 and 'to get it done' -- 45% of Republicans agree."
Those kinds of numbers would make any president confident.
Congressional Republicans acknowledge Obama's election victory, but say he must be more specific about budget cuts -- including entitlements -- if the parties are to strike a deal.
"Look, the election is over," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "The president may enjoy these political rallies, but it's time to get serious."

Marinated beef and pasta bento
Bento is not only rice, but also other ingredients, like... pasta. This recipe came to life when I had some uncooked beef left-overs and just wondered what to do with them. Cooking them as a part of bento was a great idea!

Just like 1963: You want match-race mastery? Color it Gone!
How great was it to be a high school kid near Detroit in the early '60s? For Ralph Ronzello, who lived just six miles from the legendary Detroit Dragway, it was a time where he and his friends saw their heroes up close, at the track. "It was a great time to grow up in the car world," he remembers. "Everyone had their Mickey Mantle (or Al Kaline-Ed.), but for me, it was Roger Lindamood and the 'Color Me GONE' car."
Needing a repaint, Roger had his white Savoy wiped clean of watercolor, and then the "Color Me GONE" name (in an iconic logo) went on, with a distinctive blue-and-white color scheme.
The creation of Roger Lindamood—who worked in Chrysler's transmission lab by day — "Color Me GONE" (CMG) was, at first, a plain white '63 Plymouth Savoy two-door sedan, which Ma Mopar's crew at Lynch Road Assembly fitted with its latest factory drag-racing package, built around the 426 inch "Stage II Golden Commando" version of the RB big-block. With a factory rating of 425 horsepower (and Dick Brantsner's tuning expertise), that Savoy could easily punch a 12-second hole in the air.
Here's something that you might not have known. "Color Me GONE" actually got its name when the Lindamood kids painted on the side of it, in watercolor paint, "I am a Plymouth—Color Me GONE!" which was inspired by a popular song of the time.
Over Labor Day Weekend in 1963, Roger squared off with the Ramchargers at the NHRA's U.S. Nationals, only to lose in the Super Stock final to the candy-striped Dodge.
That Plymouth was the first in a long line of "Color Me GONE" Mopars, which ranged from the steel-bodied '63 Savoy to the steel and aluminum '64 Dodge 330, to an altered-wheelbase '65 Coronet, then to a succession of Funny Cars starting with the first Charger-bodied one in 1966. Two dozen Mopars wore that name and colors, and Roger drove them into the record books, and into legend.
Fast forward to the '90s, and the 1964 version of "Color Me GONE," complete with its all-aluminum front sheetmetal, was restored by Ralph and Lynn Ronzello in 1991, with help from the Lindamoods, and later joined the collection at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The Lindamoods and Ronzellos were then looking for a car to race in the Nostalgia racing scene, but they didn't want to build another '64 Dodge that could be confused with their original CMG '64.
<img src="http://enthusiastnetwork.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/sites/21/2014/01/MOPP-140100-ALT-007-HR.jpg" alt="The Group: The '63 and the '13 "Color Me GONE" Mopars were joined at Carlisle by the restored '64 CMG. Roger drove to the Top Stock Eliminator win at Indy that year over the Ramchargers." class="wp-image-202442″ />
So, the group located an original '63 Plymouth Max Wedge car at an event in Denver. It showed less than a thousand original miles on its odometer, a distance driven a quarter-mile at a time. Still on it were the original radio and heater/defroster block-off plates, as well as the vulcanized heater vacuum lines that controlled the air cone vent, special emergency brake brackets, and the battery mount inside the trunk. Plus, the Savoy still had its original fender tag and broadcast sheet, which documented it as an original Max Wedge car.
The '63 first went to Arlen Vanke's shop, where he applied his "old racer's magic" to the chassis. Next, JP Race Cars installed the roll cage and finished up the rear suspension. For power, the original Stage II 426 Wedge was rebuilt by Hensley Racing, before Scott Tiemann of Super Car Specialties re-created the original CMG logos and color scheme.
Lynn Ronzello drove it at nostalgia drag races and other events, running in the high 10's on the quarter-mile. Eventually, the original engine was removed, and replaced by the Wedge that's in there now.
Some time later, the '63 was parked while Randy Lindamood (Roger's son) built two more "Color Me GONE" cars, both of them '65 Dodge Coronets. He also had an idea to build a modern-day CMG, based on the modern Dodge Challenger, but that was placed on hold — until Randy found an incomplete Challenger Drag Pak car.
Without its original engine, the new Challenger body he found was perfect for what he had in mind — a modern-day car with a second-generation (based on the 426) Race Hemi, the same engine that Roger had raced from 1964-onward, under its hood. After more than a few phone calls between Randy and Ralph, the idea hatched to match-race this new car against the restored '63.
Once again, Hensley Race Engines was called on, and they — with help from Indy Cylinder Head, among others — prepped a Wedge stout enough to help the Savoy run with the Hemi-powered Challenger.
We caught up with the two "Color Me GONE" cars, along with the '64 ride, when they were displayed at last year's Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals. "We thought it would be a fun thing to have the '63 Plymouth, which is the first "Color Me GONE" car, do some match races at some Mopar nostalgic events against a car built fifty years later," says Ralph, noting that the Challenger was finished only days before Carlisle.
If you get the chance to see the "Color Me GONE" cars during their "50th Anniversary Tour" — which will take them to select Mopar-related shows and events, by all means do so…but remember this when you go see them on the track: Just like back in the old days, your ticket will buy you a whole seat in the grandstand, but you'll only need the edge of it!

Endless gore, profanity make Prototype II a no-go
Even Harry Potter had an ending – "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2." It took eight movies, but now it's over. With certain video game series, we consumers might not be as lucky.
There's no end to the possibilities of creating new, better, upgraded versions of the most popular video game series. Just this year, expect Max Payne III, LEGO Batman II, Dead or Alive V, Epic Mickey II, Resident Evil VI, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Assassin's Creed III and Halo IV.
Already launched this year are Max Effect III and the video game featuring a character who will have to die harder than Bruce Willis, Prototype in Prototype II.
When you obtain superhero powers, an arsenal of biological weapons as well as psychological command of your enemies, you are Sgt. James Heller, Prototype's protagonist with a mission to "kill your maker."
As the story goes in this open world game, launched mid-April this year and originally launched in 2009, Heller is a soldier on tour when a second epidemic of the Mercer virus hits New York. The Mercer virus causes people to mutate into grotesque horrors and slay their neighbors. Heller's wife and child die and he returns from his tour to seek revenge on the man who allegedly unleashed the virus – Alex Mercer. Sadly, Mercer was the protagonist in Prototype but is now the villain, gone the way of so many before him who have been well-respected and gone to the dark side – The Joker (Batman), Dr. Octopus (Spiderman), Darth Vadar (Star Wars).
Once in New York, Heller finds that an evil private security force, Blackwatch, is occupying the city, while GenTek, a wicked company, experiments on the citizens. In a fight with Mercer, Heller becomes infected with the virus but doesn't die. Instead he becomes Bruce Willis. Oh, I mean, a mutated brute, with savage claws and high-speed movement who can run up buildings and leap great distances. Over time and increased killings of people, Heller can take his enemies memories and their forms. Yippee ki-yay … you know the rest.
The mission is killing. In fact, the call to action is hunt, kill, become. Heller basically moves from one group of enemies to another, slaying them in the most gruesome of ways. Yes, the storyline is followed, which has Heller attacking Blackwatch stations and GenTek research facilities, etc. But there's no deviation from combat-focused play where blood is the most prevalent graphic. It's everywhere, spurting and spewing forth from victims after the most ghastly of slayings when Heller chops people with his razorblade hands.
Other weapons include grenade guns, assault rifles, machine guns and the thermabaric boomstick. All are as equally as explosives as Heller's consistent dropping of the F-bomb. If you're looking for intriguing dialogue, this ain't your game.
And if you're a parent of a young'un 17 and under, this isn't a game for consideration either. It's rated "M" for mature and includes not only bad language and gore but also references to drugs and sex.
Prototype II is available for Xbox 360, Windows PC and Playstation 3. I played on Xbox and found the controls and maneuvering fairly straightforward, comparable to other shoot'em up games. The cost of Prototype II is $59.
For those who enjoy games of mass destruction, go for it and splurge on the $79 Prototype II Blackwatch Collector's Edition that comes with RADNET Edition Content, DLC Pack No. 1 – Colossal Mayhem, Soundtrack CD, Hardbound Art Book, and Dark Horse Digital Comic "Prototype: The Labrinth."
Yippee ki-yay, mother says no to Prototype II.

Low cost divorce and family mediation experts - Solution for family matters including children and finances
Consider Family Mediation When Divorcing or Separating If there's trouble brewing in paradise amongst couples then the first thing that comes to their minds is divorce. A lot of times, divorces can be dodged by going for family mediation. There is no doubt about the fact that divorcing or separating is a very difficult and trying task because there is so much involved, i.e. children, finances and so on. Therefore one should try to the best of one's ability to simplify it and make it less complicated. The perfect solution here is of course family mediation. Couples filing for divorce have a lot of issues with one another so obviously they would be bitter towards one another. Instead of washing one's dirty linen in public and letting one's issues escalate so badly that they reach the court, it would be beneficial to try out family mediation first. Not only does the process help save stress and money but it also brings out results faster! Also, because of its confidential nature, it allows the couple to have better control of the timing, outcome and decision making.

Suns swingman Gerald Green, who is putting the finishing touches on the best season of his career, blitzed the Oklahoma City Thunder with a career-high 41 points last night, the better part of them coming from eight made three-pointers. This topped a previous career high set just last month, when he scored 36 against the Nuggets. Gerald Green has been balling out lately, and that's great news, because the world needs men like Gerald Green.
Green embodies a familiar NBA archetype: the big, athletic swingman who possesses all of Michael Jordan's physical skills and confidence, but not nearly enough of whatever the hell else it was that made Jordan so great. These are the guys who can dunk on anyone in the league, who can take guys off the dribble with ease, who can get hot from three-point range at any moment, but can never seem to do all of those things at once. These players are just as frustrating as they are intoxicating. Just ask any Knicks fan who fell in love with J.R. Smith last year.
But sometimes, one of these players will go through a stretch where everything seems to click, and they go from being an underachieving sideshow to dunking, three-point launching terror, a nuclear option that defenses can't stop. That's what's happening to Green right now, who is on his seventh team in seven years, and who was in the D-League just two years ago.
Green has abandoned all those long twos that once killed his efficiency (he's taking just 15 percent of his shots from 16-23 feet, the lowest rate of his career), and is instead focusing on three things: running, dunking, and shooting threes. He's got 43 throwdowns this year (and oh lord have they been pretty), and he's launching six threes per game. According to Synergy, 45 percent of his shots have come in transition or on spot-up jumpers, and as a result he's scoring 15 points per game while shooting 44 percent from the floor.
And the thing is, it's fun as hell when a player like Green finds his groove like this. Remember how much fun the Knicks were last year, when the ball was zipping around the perimeter and J.R. Smith was out there sinking ridiculous shots and wreaking havoc from every spot on the court? Smith just kept shooting, and the ball was either going to go in or it wasn't, but either way there was nothing the defense could do about it. That's the kind of zone Green is in right now.
Green scored 25 points and was 6-of-6 from three-point range in the third quarter alone last night, and he was woofing and talking shit all over the court. It was the kind of shooting spree that makes you feel a little delirious while watching it unfold. The Thunder are the best team in the Western Conference, but they couldn't do a damn thing to stop Gerald Green, and it was so damn fun to watch.
Who knows how long Green's renaissance will last, but we should all enjoy it while we can. The NBA is a better place when players like him are around to bring a little bedlam to the court.

Awards & Recognitions
DBSI was formally recognized for the planning and execution of the relocation of six wall-sized original paintings that formerly hung in a World War II-era theater on Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (Midway). They were removed from the Midway Theater and moved to the Pacific Aviation Museum, Pearl Harbor, to prevent damage from water, termites, and deterioration due to age. DBSI received accolades from the Fish and Wildlife Service Refuge and Visitor Services Manager for the careful removal, crating, and handling of these murals depicting the historically important Battle of Midway. A quote from the Visitor Services Manager upon the arrival of the murals follows "After Shawn with DBSI/Chugach gracefully lifted and hauled the mural crate from ship to museum the public started to gather around taking photos giddy with excitement upon the new arrival package from Battle of Midway National Memorial. Someone came up to me and said he was stationed there in the late 50's early 60's. Cameras were flashing and when the top mural unfolded everyone was admiring what good shape the front of the mural was still in despite the termite ridden backing."

Revenue $1.2B: First-Ever Billion Dollar Quarter
Milpitas , CA, January 30, 2007 - SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), the world's largest supplier of flash storage card products, today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006. The Company's fourth quarter results reflect the recent acquisition of msystemsTM Ltd., or msystems, that closed on November 19, 2006, and are compared to pre-acquisition results from prior reporting periods. Fourth quarter revenue increased 55% on a year-over-year basis to a record $1.164 billion, including $115 million of revenue from msystems. Standalone SanDisk fourth quarter revenue was $1.048 billion and increased 40% on a year-over-year basis. Fourth quarter net loss as reported on a consolidated basis and in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) was $35 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, (including a charge of $186 million for the write-off of acquired in-process technology, $31 million for share-based compensation expenses, $20 million for other acquisition-related charges and a $10 million reduction in income taxes related to these items) compared to net income of $134 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Total revenue for fiscal 2006 was $3.258 billion, up 41% from $2.306 billion in 2005. Standalone SanDisk total revenue was $3.142 billion and increased 36% for the year. Consolidated net income was $199 million, or $0.96 per diluted share (including a charge of $226 million for the write-off of acquired in-process technology, $101 million for share-based compensation expenses, $32 million for other acquisition-related charges and a $35 million reduction in income taxes related to these items) compared to net income of $386 million, or $2.00 per diluted share in 2005. "The seasonally strong fourth quarter was our first ever billion dollar quarter, completing a year of excellent growth in revenue, standalone SanDisk profit and market share," said Eli Harari , Chairman and CEO of SanDisk. "In Q4 we experienced excellent sales across the board, in both the retail and OEM channels, and spanning across our consumer cards, mobile cards, MP3 players and USB flash drives. I am pleased with the very strong execution by our operations and supply chain resulting in a 73% sequential increase in megabytes sold and a strong non-GAAP operating margin for the SanDisk standalone business, due in large part to our continuing focus on cost reductions."
"In the first quarter of 2007 we expect continuing robust demand for our mobile OEM products, seasonally lower retail sales, and a decline in margins due to the prevailing challenging market pricing for flash memory. Internally we are focused on executing the integration of msystems and driving continued cost reductions by commencing the transition of our captive production from 70-nanometer to 56-nanometer NAND MLC in the first quarter. In early January, we unveiled exciting new products for new markets: SSD (for notebook PCs), ReadyBoost™ flashdrives (for Microsoft Vista™), Sansa® View (our first flash Personal Video Player), Sansa® Connect™ (for Wi-Fi® content sharing) and USBTV (a revolutionary new product bridging PC and TV). We believe these products will fuel new demand later this year," Harari concluded.
Scheduled Interviews
Judy Bruner , SanDisk's Executive Vice President, Administration and CFO, is scheduled to appear on Bloomberg TV's "Bloomberg On The Markets", January 31, 2007 beginning at approximately 6:53 a.m. PST.

Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas
Confession time.
For the first twenty years of my life, I was passionately anti-vegetable.
Sure, like most kids, I would happily eat any kind of potatoes, carrots and celery on occasion. But nearly everything else — tomatoes, peppers, squash, zucchini, mushrooms, cauliflower, asparagus, or basically anything else that was actually good for you — was out of the question. As I would say with a flip of my 17-year-old hair, "conversation closed."
But when I was in my early twenties, there was one simple word I learned that was a game changer: ROASTING.
Holy moly. The first time I walked into a friend's house and was met with the overwhelmingly yummy smell coming from whatever she was roasting in the oven, I didn't care what the ingredients were — I was sold.
A decade later, I still roast a big pan of veggies nearly every week, and count it as one of the best possible treats (and smells!) that comes from my kitchen. I'll eat them as my meal, serve them as a side, toss them in some soups or quesadillas, or whatever might sound good. Can't get enough!
So for something different last week, I decided to combined a big pan of roasted veggies with some tortillas, black beans, cheese and some leftover homemade enchilada sauce I had (after making these chicken enchilada cups). And voila — these Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas were born. So simple, so flavorful, and SO good.
Definitely a perfect way to catch up on all those veggies I missed for the first half of my life! ;)
Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas
Delicious roasted veggies overflow in these enchiladas.
- 1 yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 red pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, roughly chopped
- 1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 small head broccoli, roughly chopped
- 1 small head cauliflower, roughly chopped
- 1 (8 oz.) container button mushrooms, halved or quartered
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- salt and black pepper
- 8 tortillas (use whichever kind you'd like)
- 1 1/2 cups red enchilada sauce, homemade http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/red-enchilada-sauce/ or store-bought
- 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups Mexican shredded cheese
- optional garnishes: fresh cilantro, chopped avocado, pico de gallo, sour cream
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, toss together the yellow squash, red pepper, red onion, sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and olive oil until evenly mixed. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Spread the mixture out evenly onto the covered baking sheet. (Vegetables should be mostly in a single layer. If your baking sheet is small, you may need to spread these out over two baking sheets.)
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges of the vegetables begin to crisp and they are tender. Remove and set aside to cool. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
Meanwhile, prepare your enchilada assembly line. Lay a tortilla on a flat work surface, then spread the top of it with a generous few tablespoons of enchilada sauce. Sprinkle down the center with black beans, shredded cheese, and then lots of roasted veggies. Roll the tortilla up to close, then place it seam-side-down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Then spread any remaining enchilada sauce on top of the enchiladas in the dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Then remove dish and sprinkle extra cheese on top, and bake for 5-10 minutes more until the cheese has melted and the tortillas begin to brown slightly around the edges. Remove from oven and serve immediately, with garnishes if desired.
*To make these vegan, omit the cheese and use a vegan enchilada sauce. (In my homemade red enchilada sauce recipe, just replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock.)

Okay, these look amazing. I'm going to crave these until I make them…which I'll be doing in the near future. They look wonderful!

Ana Gasteyer Joins Threepenny Opera Alongside Dale, Cumming, Falco and McKay
The New York Times reports that Ana Gasteyer/> has joined the cast of Roundabout's "Threepenny Opera" for which previews will beging on March 24th. Gasteyer will appear alongside Tony award winning Jim Dale/> as Mr. Peachum, Tony award winning Alan Cumming/> as "Macheath," Emmy and Golden Globe award winning Edie Falco/> as "Jenny" and Nellie McKay/> as "Polly" in a new Broadway production of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's The Threepenny Opera, directed by Scott Elliott/> on Broadway at Studio 54. Roundabout Theatre Company has commissioned Wallace Shawn/> to translate and adapt the original German book and lyrics for the production.
Performances for the limited engagement will begin in April 2006, and additional casting is expected to be announced shortly.
Currently starring as Elphaba in the Chicago production of Wicked, Ana Gasteyer/> is best known for her six seasons on "Saturday Night Live," where she brought to life such characters as music teacher Bobbi Moughan-Culp, NPR host Margaret Jo, as well as impressions of Martha Stewart and Celine Dion. Gasteyer's theatre credits include the The Rocky Horror Show on Broadway, as well as Off-Broadway productions of Kimberly Akimbo, Roulette, and The Vagina Monologues. Regionally, she played Fanny Brice in Funny Girl (Pittsburgh CLO). She is a Northwestern grad who appeared in Mary Zimmerman's original productions of The Odyssey and The Notebooks of Leonardo DaVinci.
In addition to her TV and film work, she is featured on the soundtrack of "Reefer Madness," as well as the newly released Actor's Fund recording of "Hair." Ana continues to perform her musical evening "Let It Rip" around the country.
The Threepenny Opera serves up a deliciously dark satire of "respectable" society, with dashing thieves, saucy prostitutes, and lingering melodies. Based on Elizabeth Hauptmann's German translation of John Gay/>'s eighteenth-century The Beggar's Opera , The Threepenny Opera thrusts the audience into the seedy underworld of Mack the Knife, a dapper criminal and his wry love affair with Polly Peachum.
Scott Elliott/> is an Associate Artist of the Roundabout Theatre Company. For the Roundabout Theatre Company, he has directed Chekhov's Three Sisters and Clare Boothe Luce's The Women.
The Threepenny Opera premiered on Broadway at the Empire Theatre on April 13, 1933. The last Broadway revival began at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on November 5th, 1989.
The Threepenny Opera will be the fifth musical at Studio 54 since Roundabout Theatre Company purchased the venue that will serve as their new home for musical theatre productions and special theatrical events. The past tenants include Pacific Overtures, the Tony® award-winning production of Assassins and the Tony® award-winning production of Cabaret which had its final performance on January 4, 2004, after a six year run.
Tickets will be available in the Spring of 2006 and available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212) 719-1300, check online at www.roundabouttheatre.org for details.
BERTOLT BRECHT (1898-1956). Poet, playwright, and theatre director, born in Augsburg, S Germany. His early plays, marked by a revolt against bourgeois values, won him success, controversy, and the Kleist Prize in 1922. Popularity came with Die Dreigroschenoper (1928, The Threepenny Opera), an adaptation of Gay's The Beggar's Opera (1728), and from then until 1933 his work was particularly concerned with encouraging audiences to think rather than identify, and with experimentation in epic theatre and alienation effects. Hitler's rise to power forced him to leave Germany, and he lived in exile for 15 years, chiefly in the USA. During this period, he wrote some of his greatest plays, including Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder (1938, Mother Courage and her Children) and Der Kaukasische Kreidekreis (1945, The Caucasian Chalk Circle). After his return to East Berlin in 1948, his directorial work on these and other plays with the Berliner Ensemble firmly established his influence as a major figure in 20th-c theatre. In 1955 he received the Stalin Peace Prize.
KURT WEILL (1900-1950) began his career in the early 1920's, after a musical childhood and several years of study in Berlin. By the time his first opera, The Protagonist (Georg Kaiser), was performed in April 1926, he was an established young German composer. But he had already decided to devote himself to the musical theater, and his works with Bertolt Brecht soon made him famous all over Europe. He fled the new Nazi leadership in March 1933 and continued his indefatigable efforts, first in Paris (1933-35), then in the U.S. until his death. Certain common threads tie together his career: a concern for social justice, an aggressive pursuit of highly-regarded playwrights and lyricists as collaborators, and the ability to adapt to audience tastes no matter where he found himself. His most important works: the Violin Concerto (1925), The Threepenny Opera (Bertolt Brecht, 1928), Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (Brecht, 1930), The Pledge (Caspar Neher, 1932), The Seven Deadly Sins (Brecht, 1933), Lady in the Dark (Moss Hart and Ira Gershwin, 1941), Street Scene (Elmer Rice and Langston Hughes, 1947), Lost in the Stars (Maxwell Anderson, 1949). He died of heart failure in 1950, shortly after he and Anderson began work on a musical adaptation of Huckleberry Finn, leaving behind a large catalogue of works and a reputation that continues to grow as more of his music is performed. Weill was raised in a religious Jewish family in Dessau, Germany. Although he was not observant, he composed a number of "Jewish" works, from a vast score to The Eternal Road (1937, Franz Werfel) to a setting of the Kiddush. He married actress Lotte Lenya in 1926; they maintained a close relationship throughout his life despite their divorce in 1933 (they remarried in 1937).
Scott Elliott/> (Director). Broadway credits include The Women, Three Sisters (both with the Roundabout Theatre Company, where he is an Artistic Associate), and Present Laughter. At the New Group, where is is Artistic Director, he has directed Aunt Dan and Lemon, The Women of Lockerbie, Comedians, Smelling a Rat, Ecstasy, Goose-Pimples, Curtains, Hazelwood Jr. High, East is East, Cranes, What the Butler Saw, Betwixt, and Andrew after Dark. His producing credits with the New Group include: Avenue Q (which recently moved to Broadway), as well as Roar, This is Our Youth, My Night with Reg, Another American, Servicemen, The Fastest Clock in the Universe, The Flatted Fifth, Paradise Island, Some Voices, and Halfway Home. Other credits: The Monogamist (Off-Broadway); The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, The End of the Day (Williamstown); and A Map of the World (film). Awards: OBIE, Lucille Lortel, Calloway, National Board of Review, Excellence in Independent Filmmaking.
Alan Cumming/> (Macheath) trained at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. On the New York stage he has appeared in Elle (which he also adapted); Design For Living and Cabaret at the Roundabout Theatre Company (for which he won the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Theater World, New York Press, FANY and New York Public Advocate's Awards). In London: Hamlet at the Donmar Warehouse (TMA Best Actor award and Shakespeare Globe nomination), Cabaret (Olivier nomination), La Bete (Olivier nomination), Conquest of the South Pole (Olivier nomination) and seasons with the RSC and RNT, where he won an Olivier Award for his performance in Accidental Death of an Anarchist (which he also co-adapted). Alan will next be seen in Showtime's Reefer Madness, a tongue-in-cheek musical comedy adaptation of the 1936 classic anti-marijuana propaganda film. He can currently be seen in Son of the Mask with Jamie Kennedy. Cumming recently completed work on the animated feature Ant Bully for Warner Bros. as well as the independent films Neverwas, costarring Aaron Eckhart, and Bam Bam and Celeste, directed by Margaret Cho/>. He wrote, directed, produced and acted in (with Jennifer Jason Leigh/>) the feature film The Anniversary Party, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and won a National Board of Review award and two Independent Spirit award nominations. He also directed the short films Butter and Burn Your Phone. Recent films include X2: X-Men United, Spy Kids 3, Nicholas Nickleby, Josie and the Pussycats, Company Man, Titus, Urbania, Eyes Wide Shut, Emma, Circle of Friends, Goldeneye and Buddy. His debut novel, Tommy's Tale, is available now and fragrance CUMMING will hit stores in March. He resides in New York City.
Edie Falco/> (Jenny) became the only actress to ever receive the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Dramatic Series, the Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Dramatic Television Series, and the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama, all in the same year for her performance as "Carmela Soprano" in the groundbreaking HBO series The Sopranos' debut season. She has subsequently been nominated for each award for each eligible television season, winning two additional Emmy Awards and another Golden Globe Award, as well as the American Film Institute's award for Female Television Actor of the Year. When she received the Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama, it was the first time in the history of the TCA that the award was presented to a woman. She is also known to television audiences from her recurring roles in the HBO dramatic series Oz and the acclaimed NBC series Law and Order and Homicide. Ms. Falco made her Broadway debut in the Tony Award winning play Sideman, which she originated in its off-Broadway production. For her performance, she received a Theatre World Award and a Drama Desk Award nomination for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play. She went on to make her London stage debut in the West End premiere of Sideman, and thereafter opened the London production of the highly successful play The Vagina Monologues. When Ms. Falco starred opposite Stanley Tucci/> in the lauded revival of Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune, the play broke four house box office records at Broadway's Belasco Theatre making it the most successful play on Broadway all season. She appeared on Broadway most recently opposite Brenda Blethyn/> in the first revival of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, 'Night, Mother. For the feature film Cost of Living, Ms. Falco received the American Film Institute's Best Actress Award. Her performance in the film Laws of Gravity earned her an Independent Spirit Award Nomination for Best Female Lead Actor. Her other film credits include A Price Above Rubies, Copland, Trouble on the Corner, Private Parts, Hurricane, Layin' Low, Breathing Room, The Funeral, The Addiction, Bullets Over Broadway, Trust, The Unbelievable Truth, Random Hearts, and the title character in the award-winning film Judy Berlin. For her performance in John Sayles' Sunshine State, Ms. Falco received the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and New York Film Critics Online Award for Best Supporting Actress. She will next be seen in the feature films The Quiet and The Great New Wonderful, and will begin shooting the feature film Freedomland opposite Julianne Moore/> and Samuel L. Jackson next month.

Dear Divine One (somehow Miss Snark just doesn't quite say it), (Miss Snark like "Oh AweFul One a lot too)
First, I hope his doggieship is doing well and catching many squirrels in the park. (hope springs eternel in the poodle pack; squirrel always is, never to be ketched)
I have two questions now torturing my soul:
The film rights for my novel have been optioned for a year and a half and I know from the screenwriter that he is no longer shopping them. Do I still need to include a note in my query letter about the option agreement - it expires in October? (1)
Second: With all the discussion on your blog about resubmits, I desperately need Miss Snark to translate a rejection letter. (2)
After reading a full, an agent wrote, "I like the idea for this very much but I'm afraid I wasn't as enthusiastic about the execution as I'd need to be . . . She wishes me luck without inviting me to resubmit if I rewrite it.
By the time I received the above rejection, I had extensively rewritten it and now, four months later, have rewritten it yet again. The rejected version I sent her was definitely not ready (isn't hindsight cool?)
Do I resubmit? I like this agent very much - the emails we've exchanged have indicated to me that she would be a good match and that she does represent what I write - good track record too. Is she just too nice to tell me outright not to quit my day job?
Thank you for your wisdom and support. I have taped a "kick me" sign to my back in anticipation of your answer. I love your snarkiness; it makes me laugh every day.
1. Yes you should mention this. It may not come to anything but it's a nice little enticement. I know I always like to see query letters that might allow me to fling myself upon Mr. Clooney at the Oscars someday.
2. No. I can't tell you how much I hate it when people do this. I really do try to restrain myself from cruelty ('lose my address! leave me alone! your poodle wears Army boots!') but when I haven't asked someone to resubmit and they send me the "new and improved version" it frequently IS new and improved...and I still don't want it.
People send me stuff all the time with cover letters that start "well you didn't like One, but I've got Two here and it's much better". Just because I read One does NOT mean I'm predisposed to want to read OneRevised or Two. If I think I do, I'll tell you. Honest.
Do NOT mistake pleasant email chat for interest. Here is how you know she wants to read something. She will say "send me...". ANYTHING else is NOT a request.
There are 6 bazillion agents in New York City. Query others. When you sell this tome for a gazillion dollars she'll be damn sorry and come crawling back and then YOU can say to her "I like you very much but I'm afraid I wasn't as enthusiastic about your taste as I'd need to be".

Vinne, van der, family
Van der Vinne, a Dutch Mennonite family, probably of Flemish descent, living at Harlingen in Friesland ca. 1600, from where Laurens van der Vinne moved to Haarlem ca. 1610. Since then van der Vinnes have been members of the Haarlem Mennonite congregation.
Many members of this family were artists. (1) Vincent Laurensz (Haarlem, 1629-1702) was a physician and a talented painter; in 1649-52 he traveled in Germany, writing a diary of this trip. He also published a list of painters whom he knew at Haarlem. His sons were (2) Isaac (Haarlem, 1655-1740), who operated a printing house and a bookshop, and in his leisure hours made meritorious etchings; (3) Laurens (Haarlem, 1658-1729), who managed a cotton factory and was also a painter; and (4) Jan (Haarlem, 1663-1721), a painter and etcher and the owner of a silk mill. Sons of (3) Laurens were (5) Vincent (Haarlem, 1686-1742), painter and etcher, (6) Jacob (Haarlem, 1688-1737), painter and etcher, deacon of the Mennonite congregation, and (7) Jan (Haarlem, 1699-1753), also a painter. (8) Laurens (Haarlem, 1712-42), a son of (6) Jacob, also made some paintings. Sons of (7) Jan were (9) Vincent (Haarlem, 1732-?), a painter and etcher, and (10) Jan (Haarlem, 1734-1805), an etcher.
Their art, though not without merit, seldom surpasses mediocrity. Most important is the work of (1) Vincent, who specialized in still life; a self portrait by him is found in the Frans Hals museum at Haarlem. Etchings and drawings of several members of this family are found in the Teyler museum at Haarlem.
The van der Vinnes were loyal members of the church. In addition to (6) Jacob, other members of this family served as deacons at Haarlem—Izaak van der Vinne, d. 1801, serving for 45 years, Vincent van der Vinne, d. 1811, serving for 46 years, Francois Huurkamp van der Vinne, d. 1815, 38 years, Vincent van der Vinne (1798-1856, a great-grandson of [6] Jacob), who is also known for his etchings and woodcuts, deacon from 1837 until his death, representative of Haarlem on the board of the Algemeene Doopsgezinde Sociëteit from 1854. Some members of this family also served as trustees of the Haarlem Mennonite orphanage.

Eric Holder's Contempt for Contempt
(WASHINGTON) -- Attorney General Eric Holder shrugged off the House's move to hold him in contempt last year because he didn't respect the votes by those who chose to do so.
In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview on Wednesday, ABC News' Pierre Thomas asked Holder how he reacted when House Republicans voted with 17 Democrats to hold him in contempt of Congress last June over the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' "Fast and Furious" gun scandal.
"It's something that I think was unfortunate," Holder said. "I think it's a result of this kind of partisan sport that I think we engage in here in Washington far too often."
Holder said the votes didn't bother him, considering who cast them.
"But I have to tell you that for me to really be affected by what happened, I'd have to have respect for the people who voted in that way," he told ABC News. "And I didn't, so it didn't have that huge an impact on me."
All but three House Republicans voted to hold Holder in contempt. Two of them, Reps. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio, and Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., have since left Congress -- meaning Holder does (or did) not respect most of the current Republican House delegation.
Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va., voted against holding Holder in contempt, and House Speaker John Boehner didn't vote, meaning Holder's blanket statement does not apply to those two.
At issue was Holder's compliance with a House subpoena to turn over documents related to the ATF's Fast and Furious program to disseminate and track guns in Mexico.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., spearheaded the crusade against Holder and the Fast and Furious program, repeatedly accusing the attorney general of obscuring facts and refusing to comply with his investigation, and insinuating that top officials at the department, including Holder, likely knew about the program before terminating it.
The Justice Department maintained that it had consistently complied with Issa's requests and that it had produced every kind of document typically handed over under such circumstances.
Holder took another jab at Republicans when asked about the current partisan stalemate over deficit reduction and the looming automatic budget cuts, which Holder says will interfere with vital law-enforcement missions and endanger U.S. security.
When asked about how much of the blame Obama's administration deserves, Holder said he wasn't sure "it's an awful lot."
"I mean, I think this president came into office with the notion that he wanted to change how Washington does business. I think this president has extended his hand on any number of occasions," he said.
"And I think we've seen too often the opposition not being what I would call a responsible opposition party, but a part that simply is opposed to anything the president has wanted to do," Holder said. "And I think that has led to partisan gridlock that the American people are not satisfied with and that frankly does not serve the interests of this nation."

Rumor: Palm Pre App Catalog Coming Next Week
Is your Palm Pre feeling lonely? Not to worry, the new App Catalog is arriving next week--well, if "anonymous tipsters" are be believed, at least. The source has the new app store launching September 24th.
According to the source, users will be able to set up accounts with Palm, in order to make purchases through the store, to avoid the nuisance of handing over one's credit card number to every single third-party app manufacturer. No word from Palm on either account.

No, it is a noun (root) used as an adjective (for the noun rot).
Student or Learner
Dear teachers,
Would you please tell me how you would parse the following compounds ?
- However, do not overwater or let the plant sit in water since they are susceptible to (a) root rot and there is no "cure" for (b) root rot.
- The disease which infected the trees is (c) root rot.
a) compound verb made up of "root" a noun used as an adverb (?) + "rot" verb.
b + c) compound nouns made up of "root" a noun used as an adjective + "rot" noun.
Thank you for your help and best wishes.
No, it is a noun (root) used as an adjective (for the noun rot).
The second, I think. Two nouns together. As in "crotch rot", :)
So in all three cases "root rot" is a compound noun: "root" a noun used as adjective, and "rot" a noun ?
Thanks again
To decide whether or not a compound noun is one item or a noun modified by an adjective, or two nouns, e.g. "dog house", I defer to a dictionary and look to see if the words are given as a single entry.

Special session organized as part of the 17th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences (http://www.icphs2011.hk/index.htm)
Hong Kong, 17-21 August 2011
Organizers: Marzena Żygis (ZAS, Berlin) and Maria-Josep Solé (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)
While articulation and more recently perception have essentially contributed to our under-standing of phonological patterns and processes, aerodynamics is still underrepresented in phonetic and phonological research.
In this workshop we would like to draw the audience's attention to the valuable contribution of aerodynamics to explaining phonological phenomena. As some recent studies have shown, aerodynamic factors play a key role in explaining both synchronic and diachronic phonological processes in which e.g. voicing, nasalization, trilling, affrication, implosivization are involved (cf. work by Demolin, Ohala, Shosted, Solé). Aerodynamics also appears to be indispensable in understanding cross-linguistic gaps in phonemic inventories, such as the avoidance of voiced sibilants or voiced velar stops (Maddieson, Ohala).
In this workshop we will not only review phonological phenomena which have been explained by aerodynamic factors but we will also point to selected areas in phonology which could greatly benefit from this approach. For example, relatively little has been done to apply aerodynamic evidence to prosodic phonology although its contribution maybe essential in understanding, for example, the shaping of boundaries. Furthermore, some phonological features, despite being rooted in the aerodynamics, have not been explored from this perspective, specifically with respect to their universal character and/or language-specific variation. Finally, the aerodynamics of several sound types and especially their occurrence in clusters requires further research in order to better understand phonotactics and its preferred patterns in the world's languages.
The workshop will also provide a forum for phoneticians and phonologists to discuss aerodynamic modelling and its use in phonological research. Finally, an overview of the latest technical developments relevant for aerodynamic research will be given with the focus on linking aerodynamics and articulatory data.

Every show needs a hero — and in the case of NBC's new series Revolution, that job goes to Miles Matheson.
Revolution follows a group of characters struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist. Miles (Billy Burke), a former military man, may be the key to unlocking why the power went out. But first, they have to find him, which is why his niece Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) goes to Chicago to seek his help.
Revolution's epic, mystery-filled journey will actually be paid off quickly
"When we find him, he just doesn't want to be found," Burke explains. "He's very suspicious of everybody in general, but this girl has specific information. I think that he sees the little girl that he once knew and realizes 'Oh, this is for real.'"
Check out an exclusive first look at the series in this video below, which will introduce you to who will hopefully be the savior of Revolution:
Revolution premieres Monday, Sept. 17 at 10/9c on NBC.

Ministry announces 20pc cut in Internet prices
Ministry announces 20pc cut in Internet prices
KABUL (Pajhwok): The Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology (MCIT) on Tuesday announced a 20 percent cut in internet prices.
Sayed Ahmad Shah Sadat, deputy MCIT minister, told a press conference here that previously Kazakhstan offered per MB of internet to ISPs for $336, Pakistan for $120 and Iran $180.
But Kazakhstan recently reduced the rate to $268, Pakistan to $96 and Iran $144 to ISPs, he said.
The discount in prices in Afghanistan would be effective from tomorrow (Wednesday) and the MCIT would monitor the prices of ISPs, he said, adding the discount would be retaken from private companies if they did not reduce the internet prices.
The ministry has been trying to pave the ground for fourth generation (4G) mobile telecommunication technology, Sadat said.
Currently four million people in Afghanistan use internet and efforts are underway to increase the number of users to 15 million in the next four years, he added.
He said efforts were ongoing to prevent distribution of illegal SIM cards and a mechanism in this regard was under process.
About collection of taxes from mobile users, he said 5.6 billion afghanis had been collected since September 22, 2016.
Work on a new tax collection system is also underway for more transparency in the revenue.

Bloomberg's Super PAC Anti-Gun Ad Makes Waves in Ill. Special Election
(NEW YORK) -- New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has lent his voice and money to have some say in which Democrat replaces former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., the son of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, in Tuesday's special election.
The front-runners in Tuesday's primary in Illinois' 2nd District are Robin Kelly, a former state representative, and former Rep. Debbie Halvorson. Kelly recently snapped up Bloomberg's endorsement and financial backing through his super PAC Independence USA. Bloomberg donated close to $10 million to the super PAC last year, according to OpenSecrets.org.
Jackson, who pleaded guilty last week in a D.C. federal court to one felony fraud count related to improper use of campaign funds, won re-election last November but resigned, citing his health and the investigation into his campaign finances as reasons.
Halvorson is the only white candidate in the majority African-American district, which includes Chicago's South Side. Several Democrats initially stepped up to run for the seat following Jackson's resignation, but many withdrew and threw their support to the current candidates.
Chicago's epidemic of gun violence has been a top issue in the campaign. Ads have sought to paint Halvorson, who challenged Jackson in a 2012 Democratic primary for his congressional seat, in a negative light.
An ad made by Independence USA, the super PAC created by Bloomberg, an independent, has attacked Halvorson for her support of gun rights.
"Debbie Halvorson, when it comes to preventing gun violence, she gets an F," the ad says.
The ad further warns to "watch out" for Halvorson, saying she is against banning deadly assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, and that she also co-sponsored a bill to allow felons to take "loaded, hidden guns across state lines."
"If you can tell me that banning another gun will go after the criminals, I'd be all for it," Halvorson told The Hill Monday. "I'd be for anything that stopped the killing and gets guns out of the hands of criminals, but it won't work. [Chicago's] Cook County has had an assault weapons ban since 1993, and they have the highest murder rate in the country."
Halvorson was one of the few Democrats endorsed by the National Rifle Association in 2010.
A spokesman for Halvorson's campaign said the ad had actually backfired on the super PAC.
"Initially, it was a shell shock," said Sean Howard, a spokesman for Halvorson's campaign. "But we had 70 African-American ministers call for Bloomberg to have the ad removed....These ministers find it distasteful and racist, and thought its tone was dangerous and appalling."
But the ad stayed. A representative from Independence USA said the ad expressed Bloomberg's staunch support for Kelly.
"The mayor has been clear for his entire time in office. He wants commonsense reforms that keep guns out of hands of criminals," said Stefan Friedman, a spokesman for Independence USA. "There is no doubt there has been a surge of gun violence around Chicago. Robin Kelly has been aggressively pushing for gun reform measures – we believe this is the right way to go."
Halvorson, however, remains confident, said Howard.
"Given that we have a dangerous snowstorm here today, turnout will be dangerously low," Howard said. "[Debbie] was phone banking all last night....We are cautiously optimistic."

Multi-level Issues in Organizational Behavior and Processes
Francis J. Yammarino, Fred Dansereau
Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Jun 18, 2004 - Business & Economics - 461 pages
"Multi-Level Issues in Organizational Behavior and Processes" is Volume 3 of "Research in Multi-Level Issues", an annual series that provides an outlet for the discussion of multi-level problems and solutions across a variety of fields of study. Using a scientific debate format of a key scholarly essay followed by two commentaries and a rebuttal, we present, in this series, theoretical work, significant empirical studies, methodological developments, analytical techniques, and philosophical treatments to advance the field of multi-level studies, regardless of disciplinary perspective. Similar to Volumes 1 and 2, this volume, Volume 3, contains five major essays with commentaries and rebuttals that cover a range of topics, but in the realms of organizational behavior and processes. In particular, the five critical essays offer extensive literature reviews, new model developments, methodological advancements, and some empirical data for the study of part-time work, trust, diversity, construct validation, and organizational processes. While each of the major essays, and associated commentaries and rebuttals, is unique in orientation, they show a common bond in raising and addressing multi-level issues or discussing problems and solutions that involve multiple levels of analysis.

- Page 1 Huawei Ascend G300 Review
- Page 2 Specification, Screen and OS Review
- Page 3 P3 Camera Test Shots Review
- Solid and stylish design
- Low price tag
- Good screen
- Impressive battery life
- Can be a little bit laggy at times
- Camera could be better
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £100.00
- 4in touchscreen
- 5.0 megapixel camera
- 4GB of memory
- 1Ghz processor
The Huawei G300 is offered at an extremely attractive in price. With Android smartphone prices dropping through the floor recently, with some handsets available for as little as £40 on Pay as You Go it's sometimes hard to gauge why one is better than another. However, these cheaper android phones often have very low resolution screens or wheezing processors that lead to sluggish performance. The Huawei G300 is an altogether better compromise. It's still very affordable, but has a large 4in screen and a decent 1GHz processor. Currently this phone is available exclusively on Vodafone for £100, plus a £10 top up, or for £199.99 Sim Free, so can it challenge the likes of the Orange San Francisco II as the budget smartphone to beat?
The Huawei G300 manages to avoid some of the pitfalls of a lot of budget phones. Firstly its build quality is actually quite good and sturdy. It doesn't feel like a cheap handset, but rather gives off quite a solid and robust impression when you hold it.
Secondly, the design avoids looking dated and is quite easy on the eye. Although the case initially appears to be made from metal, it turns out that this is just plastic with a metallic coating. Nevertheless, it looks convincing and contrasts quite nicely with the glossy white plastic edges at the top and bottom of the handset. The corners are rounded too, which helps it sit more comfortably in your hand than phones that have more angular styling, such as the iPhone 4S.
Naturally the front of the Huawei G300 is mostly taken up by the large-ish 4in screen, but at the bottom there are also touch buttons for the option, home and back functions. These are backlit too, which is handy when you're using the phone at night. Hardware buttons have been kept to a minimum – there's just a power/lock switch at the top as well as a volume rocker button on the left hand edge – and the placement of the headphone jack at the top and microUSB port at the bottom may be pretty traditional, but it's just how we like it. Thankfully, there's a removable battery that sits behind the snap off cover on the rear and when the cover is removed you can also easily get at the microUSB card slot.
The rear of the phone is also home to the 5-megapixel camera. There's no front facing camera either, so you can't use the handset for video calling in apps like Skype, which is a bit of a shame, but understandable given its modest asking price. There's relatively little shutter lag when firing off snaps and the autofocus is pretty quick too. Snaps in good lighting conditions tend to look better than you might expect from a budget blower, as they have strong levels of detail and sharp edges.
However as light decreases so does its performance, with a lot of noise creeping into shots. It also doesn't handle shadow detail very well. You can call the LED flash in to play to help it out when you're shooting in low light, to help improve things.
