Kate Winslet and her new husband Ned Rocknroll have won a legal battle to keep "embarrassing" pictures of the businessman out of the press.
The couple, which married in New York in December, went to court earlier this month in a bid to stop editors of a British tabloid publishing saucy "semi-naked" shots of Rocknroll at a fancy dress party several years ago.
A judge at London's High Court initially issued a temporary injunction to keep the pictures out of the newspapers, and on Tuesday, Winslet and Rocknroll won their fight to have the order extended.
A statement from the couple, issued to WENN, reads, "We have stopped (British tabloid) The Sun from publishing semi-naked photos of Ned taken by a friend at a private 21st birthday party a few years ago. The photos are innocent but embarrassing and there is no reason to splash them across a newspaper.
"We recognize that in the Internet age, privacy is harder and harder to maintain but we will continue to do what we can, particularly to protect Kate's children from the results of media intrusion. We refuse to accept that her career means our family cannot live a relatively normal life."
Winslet began dating 34-year-old Rocknroll, the nephew of British tycoon Sir Richard Branson, in 2011 and they married shortly before Christmas. The Titanic star has two children, a son and a daughter, from previous relationships.
Kate Winslet and her new husband Ned Rocknroll have won a legal battle to keep "embarrassing" pictures of the businessman out of the press.

~Annual supporters group meeting Feb. 16~
The Supporters group is currently preparing for another year full of activity on St. Vincent Island. With the annual meeting in February and the open house on the island in late March, we hope to expand our Supporters group and increase the number of volunteers that help preserve this unique wildlife refuge. It should be a very interesting year. Last year there were a record number of turtle nests on the island and a new male red wolf has been introduced to the island in hopes of producing a new litter of pups for the Red Wolf breeding program. But first a few words about the upcoming annual meeting and a speaker that you don't want to miss.
The Supporters Group of St. Vincent Island NWR will be holding its annual meeting from 1-4 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 16 at the St. Joseph Peninsula Bay Buffer Preserve on State-30A. This is a wonderful time to join this dedicated group. The Buffer Preserve is 4.5 miles south of the junction of U.S. Highway 98 and State 30-A and five miles north of the Indian Pass Raw Bar. We are excited to have Jack Rudloe, founder of the Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory as our speaker this year.
Lunch will be provided by Paul Gant. Memberships to the Supporters of St. Vincent NWR will be sold at the door - $15 for individuals and $20 for families.
For over 35 years Jack Rudloe has dedicated his life to helping conserve the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem earning him the unofficial title �Mayor of the Gulf of Mexico� that is displayed on a T-shirt he occasionally wears. Jack�s illustrious career spans from working on shrimp boats across the Gulf of Mexico to author and most notably to his work here in the panhandle of Florida with the Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory. This laboratory collaborates with thousands of scientists around the world and supplies marine life to over 1,300 schools and research institutions (more than 300 scientific papers credit them as their source of specimens). The Public Aquarium at the lab has 1,800 visitors each year and is a major tourist attraction in the Florida panhandle.
Inspired by John Steinbeck, who he met in his early 20�s, Jack has written nonfiction books on the sea and two novels. With his wife Anne, who has written two books of her own, they have published often in National Geographic, Smithsonian, Audubon and Sports Illustrated along with a dozen scientific, peer reviewed articles on subjects ranging from sea turtle biology, culturing marine animals that produce anti-cancer drugs, and the aquaculture of electric rays and slipper lobsters. Jack Rudloe has been interviewed four times on the NBC Today Show, Good Morning America, National Public Radio, Fox News and has twice been on the cover of the Wall Street Journal and was featured in the New York Times. We are indeed delighted to have him featured as our speaker at our annual meeting in February.
The final count of turtle nests on St. Vincent in 2013 was 104 and that was a record-setting year for the island. Interestingly, all the nests were loggerhead sea turtles this year. Nineteen hardy souls, volunteers and St. Vincent staff members monitored the nests and collected the following data:
*25 nests were negatively affected by predators, ghost crabs, raccons and wild pigs
*15 nests were negatively affected by storm surge from Tropical Storm Andrea (June 6, 2013)
*6,284 hatchlings emerged and left their nest
Twenty nests were adopted last season through Adopt-A-Nest program. That program will begin looking for 2014 turtle nests sponsors at the annual meeting. You can also contact the Supporters Group at 229-6735 to go ahead and adopt a nest for the 2014 season.
There are three managed hunts each hunting season on St. Vincent Island. The November hunt (Nov. 20-24) is an archery hunt and 35 hunters harvested four White-tailed deer (two bucks and two does), one feral hog (boar), and five raccoons (two males and three females).
The Sambar deer hunt took place on Dec. 5-7 with 107 hunters participating. Eight Sambar deer were harvested (four hinds and four stags with 4-6 points) with dressed weights of 122-370 lbs. Also one feral hog (88 lb. sow) and two raccoons were harvested.. The January hunt (Jan. 23-24) � a primitive weapon hunt (muzzle loader and bow) � had 123 hunters participating. They harvested 35 White-tailed deer (17 does, 18 bucks) and 10 feral hogs (five sows and five boars).
The monthly island tours are taking reservations for the spring 2014 season. All regularly scheduled tours are on the second Wednesday of each month. Due to the popularity of the island tours, several additional dates have been added to the schedule. Upcoming tour dates are Feb.12, Feb. 26, March 12, March 26, April 9, and May 14.
Our enhanced website will give you a lot of details about the tours plus a convenient place to sign up. Just click on �Island Tour Sign Up�. The tour is free, but participants must make a reservation on the web @ www.stvincentfriends.com and seats are filled on a first come, first served basis. There is a small charge for boat transportation to and from the island. Bring everything you need, including drinking water � and leave only your footprints behind.

Would be remiss if I didn't pass this along... The Moyer Foundation -- founded by Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife, Karen -- is well into its seventh annual Catch a Cure for Cancer national campaign.
Karen is hosting a 12-hour radiothon sponsored in Washington this Thursday from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. PST. Supporters nationwide can listen live online and all of the proceeds will support The Gregory Fund, a special fund completely dedicated to early cancer detection research at the Hutchinson Center.
Jamie, if you're wondering, still has yet to throw. He is slowly beginning his rehab from a sprained ulnar collateral ligament and a strained tendon in his elbow. The 47-year-old pitcher hopes to be ready for spring training. Moyer, of course, is a free agent after this season.
For more on the campaign, read the press release below, courtesy of The Moyer Foundation.
Catch a Cure for Cancer is a community-lead fundraising campaign to raise awareness and funds for early cancer detection research at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, a world leader in cancer research, prevention and treatment. This year's campaign has special meaning to Karen Moyer, as her father, Digger Phelps, was diagnosed and underwent successful treatment for prostate cancer. Phelps is currently an ESPN analyst.
"Early detection is the single most important factor when it comes to saving lives - and I am thankful that Karen, Jamie and all those who support The Moyer Foundation's Catch a Cure efforts are truly making a difference for this cause because they are helping to save lives," says Phelps.
The Moyer Foundation and the Hutchinson Center team up annually to encourage the community to organize and participate in special events and activities throughout the month of August including fundraisers, online donations, dinners, auctions and more. A special 12-hour radiothon sponsored by WARM 106.9 FM in Washington will be hosted by Karen Moyer, co-founder of The Moyer Foundation and will be held on Thursday, August 26th from 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. PST. All of the proceeds will support The Gregory Fund, a special fund completely dedicated to early cancer detection research at the Hutchinson Center.
In 2003, The Moyer Foundation created The Gregory Fund, a joint initiative to raise awareness and funds for early cancer-detection research at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The Gregory Fund supports research dedicated to developing new ways to diagnose cancer at its earliest stage.
"The Moyer Foundation has been raising funds for early detection for more than 8 years, and we hope to raise the most we ever have this year," said Karen Moyer, co-founder of the Moyer Foundation. "Getting the funds needed for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center would be helpful for so many people coping with this disease."
The Gregory Fund was inspired by Gregory Chaya, a cancer patient Jamie and Karen met in 1993. When they met, Gregory was just two years old and battling leukemia. With help, Gregory's parents found the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center where he received treatment and a life-saving transplant. The Moyer's remain close to him and his family and inspired them to name this special fund in honor of Gregory and his inspirational spirit and journey. Still cancer-free and in remission today, Gregory often helps support and participates in Catch a Cure for Cancer.
To learn more about how you can help, information is available by calling 206.298.1217 or by visiting www.MoyerFoundation.org.

$20K of university athletic equipment stolen; 3 men charged
Police: Equipment sold on online auction
Police charged three men on Monday in connection with the theft of $20,000 worth of athletic equipment from the University of Maryland.
University police said the thefts took place during November and December, when the men forced their way into the Varsity Team Building and stole equipment from the lacrosse and baseball teams.
Investigators learned that the stolen equipment was being hawked on an online auction.
Police said officers executed several search warrants in the Baltimore area and on the College Park campus, where they found much of the stolen property.
Igor Cooper Rosensteel, Richard Nathan Landa and Ian Robert Hammer all face burglary and theft charges. Landa and Hammer also face conspiracy to commit burglary charges.
The investigation continues, and police ask anyone who might have information to call them at 301-405-1796.

"Ruth" has a troubled past. Thrown out of her house at 17, she found shelter and assistance at a drop-in center for at-risk youth where an art counselor encouraged her to express herself in drawings.
A design she named "Eye" was chosen as one of three pictures to grace t-shirts made by Tees at Risk to benefit the center that helped Ruth, and other places like it in Israel and the United States.
Spread the Word

• Write about and link to this article on your blog
• Local relevancy? Send this article to your local press
Tees at Risk co-founder Ben Wiener, 42, tells ISRAEL21c that for Ruth, the benefits did not stop there.
"She couldn't believe we'd picked her drawing and told me she intended to rebuild her life by going to fashion design school and wanted to use it as part of her portfolio," he relates.
"I said she could also use us as a reference. A kid literally on the street suddenly gets a rush of self-esteem, the shirt benefits the institution that helped her get on her feet, and now it may help her get into school and get her life on track. That's pretty incredible."
Cycle of benefit
Wiener was a corporate lawyer in Manhattan before moving to Jerusalem in 1998, when he turned to business and charitable endeavors. As a board member of the Orthodox Union, he became interested in the mission of its Zula program, a downtown Jerusalem drop-in center for teens involved in drugs and alcohol.
His friend and fellow immigrant Richard (Nahum) Kligman, meanwhile, was working at an Israeli rehab center and had the idea of marketing t-shirts designed by teens there.
"Self-confidence is a tremendous issue for this population," Wiener explains. "To take something they created and make a product out of it is an incredible boost."
The two men thought to create a "cycle of benefit," so that the same center where the young artist made the design will get the proceeds from the $25 shirt. For now, Tees at Risk is working with the Zula as well as NY Youth at Risk and the National Runaway Switchboard, based in Chicago. They intend to expand this list.
"In almost any major city in the world, there are drop-in centers where these kids end up, and many of these centers have an art room and/or an art counselor. We let these centers know we have this project, and they can upload artwork digitally," says Wiener. "If we pick a design from that center, we'll produce the shirt and send them some of the proceeds."
Last year, the coordinator of "digi steps," a volunteer organization based at the Avonbourne School in southern England, ordered a special custom run for the students to wear when they teach senior citizens how to use computers and the Internet. They even wore their Tees at Risk shirts to an award ceremony at the British prime minister's residence.
"We decided to give the proceeds from our digi steps design commission to the Youth for Technology Foundation, a nonprofit that teaches technology to underprivileged kids in Africa," says Wiener. "We thought that would be a great way to bring the work of digi steps full circle – from kids teaching the elderly how to use the Net, to helping underprivileged kids learn how to use the Net."
The story is in the QR code
Instead of incorporating Tees at Risk as a for-profit or non-profit entity, the partners won certification as a B Corporation, a new model that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. More than 600 B Corporations pledge to give away a certain percentage of the sales price (in this case, 10 percent) to charity. Tees at Risk, founded in 2011, was the first apparel company accepted to the program.
For Wiener and Kligman, Tees at Risk is a meaningful hobby rather than a money-maker.
"I would love for it to be a million-dollar company but I don't expect it to be our profession," Wiener says. "It's a test of the concept of giving back. We just want to affect as many lives as we can and promote awareness of teens at risk and showcase how talented they are. We want to give them support and hope, rather than give up on them."
Working with a fashion executive in New York, Wiener and Kligman started off with three chosen designs that are screen-printed on all-cotton shirts in California, and shipped everywhere.
Production could potentially be moved to Israel if Wiener can find a printer with the capability to screen print and include a QR code at the bottom corner of each shirt. When the code is scanned with a smartphone, it reveals a bit about the designer in his or her own words. This is a unique feature of the product.
If you scan the QR code on the "Bolt" style, you'll read this back story: "My name is D., I am a 16 year old boy. I ran away from home for the first time when I was 13 because my dad had a drinking problem and it was too violent. I spend some of my time in a juvenile detention center because I cut school with some friends and we got into serious trouble with the police. This picture shows how I feel when I'm at the detention center and my hope for something better in my life."

The Investment Management Consultants Association announced Monday that the University of Chicago Booth School of Business has signed on to offer IMCA's Certified Investment Management Analyst certification starting in July.
In addition to providing education for CIMA certification, the Booth School offers coursework for IMCA's Certified Private Wealth Advisor designation.
"As one of the world's leading business schools in finance, Booth has the faculty capabilities, cutting-edge application, and research to thoroughly cover the CIMA curriculum and bring it to life," said John Heaton, professor of finance and faculty director of the CIMA certification program at Booth, in a statement. "Participants who select Booth for their CIMA education should be prepared for an intense, challenging week of instruction."
IMCA Executive Director and CEO Sean Walters (left), in New York on Tuesday for IMCA's annual conference there, said competition has grown among continuing education providers for credentialing programs. But, he predicted, those many programs will be reduced to a handful of designations as regulators take a closer look at what is and isn't a credible program.
Chicago Booth's associate director of executive education, Mark Lewis, said the school was initially skeptical about offering the CPWA when IMCA approached it. The program's success, however, led Booth to also offer CIMA certification, Lewis said Tuesday in New York.
"It was an experiment, and we think we've put together an excellent program," Lewis said.
CIMA certification earned accreditation by the American National Standards Institute in April 2011, making it the first financial services credential in the United States to meet international standards (ISO 17024) for personnel certification. IMCA membership increased 7% to more than 8,400 in 2011.
As a registered education provider for Denver-based IMCA, the Booth School joins the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in offering CIMA certification. Wharton doesn't offer the CPWA program. The two schools are ranked among America's best five business schools, according to the 2011 Forbes annual ranking of top U.S. business schools.
Wharton has offered CIMA certification since 1988, when the education program was founded. The designation is designed as a complement for advanced investment advisors to the Certified Financial Planner designation.
The CPWA, on the other hand, is designed as an "advanced CFP" for wealth management professionals working with high-net-worth clients, said IMCA Chair Betsy Piper/Bach, who also attended the organization's annual conference in New York on Tuesday.
In other continuing education news, on Jan. 24 the Financial Planning Association and the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education announced a partnership that will let FPA members pursue certification as Accredited Financial Counselors and Certified Housing Counselors certification.

Arnie: Even heroes can have flaws
Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed he was drawn to new film Sabotage because he wanted to play more than just an action hero.
The 66-year-old Terminator actor stars in the gory revenge thriller as Breacher, the head of a DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) SWAT team, who is tempted into a scheme to steal drugs money from a cartel.
Arnie revealed: "I enjoyed doing the movie because it was not a typical action movie, he was like a flawed hero.
"Most films I play a hero that is the good guy who wipes out the bad guy, it's very clean cut.
"And this one it's a much more complex character. It's someone who starts out as this heroic guy, and is the leader of this DEA SWAT team.
"But as they start infiltrating the cartel, there's revenge and they not only whack my own guys but they also wipe out my family.
"And so that's when he decided to cross the line himself and get into this dark world."
The revenge thriller boasts a stellar cast including Sam Worthington, Joe Manganiello, Josh Holloway, Terrence Howard and Mireille Enos, and Arnie matches his younger co-stars in strength and fitness.
The former bodybuilder insisted physical fitness is not something he is prepared to compromise on, even in his sixties.
"It's not harder because you can use lighter weights," he insisted.
"But the key thing is no matter how old you are you always have to work out. It's like you always eat, you always sleep, you always do all those things. So therefore you always work out , and you always try to stay in shape.
"Especially if you're interested in doing action movies and playing a heroic character you better be in shape."
:: Sabotage is released in cinemas on Wednesday May 7.

Little trivia. The game originally started as a PS2 split screen fighter using the Disney cast as a Kingdom Hearts spin-off. It eventually got moved to the PSP, and got switched to Final Fantasy characters only because Disney didn't want their characters in a fighter like that.
Extra trivia. Kingdom Hearts Birthy by Sleep isn't getting a download release, because Disney doesn't want to distribute a game with their property as a download.
Anyway, the game as a whole really is great. They did all they can to maximize the game on the system, and it's just fine as PSP title. So I don't think they should port it anywhere else.
well she's got a good point...
BUT if tey did put it on console they would have to do the following things to make it SELL SELL SELL!
1)edit it with specail features including new charcters such as the iconic FFXII characters.
2)Enhance some seriuos Gameplay elements such as New freestyle combo systems, and New Ex shift! (Basically a more powerful Ex sysytem.
3)A new EX GAURD system where the characters are able to make themselves temporaily invicnible.
4)NEw stages and a new Hide and seek battle mode!
5) a real time adventure mode where you are in REAL TIME BATTLE and move around attacking enemeies manuaully
6) A new sound track with Exclusive songs from many of the FF games.
7) More costumes and a complete cammand list With the chance to actaully "make" your own weapons for a battle
8)lastly a "Create a Fantasy" mode which allows you to create your own Charcter and story based off Preset character fighting styles,Their storylines, and an interactive chat with the FF chararcters.
9) An Playstation Exclusive ONLINE EX BETA in which all the players of this said game can go against eachother, Downlaod variuos "atrifacts", And lastly The option of working in Tag team battles (simmilar to the M<Arvel VS. Capcom games) in which you can set up variuos FF teams in normal and online play!
these things will DEFINTELY make it worth it to be on console i presume?
I will never fall, because my friends and their souls will drive me to FIGHT!
The reason it's not on a console is the multiplayer aspect of the game. The game is too fast and furious to be split screen, and thus would only really work online, which would definitely be cool.
Perhaps if they released on a console for online use, that would be good. I am happy that it is on PSP, and it's nice to find a PSP game that is actually good for a change
Youtube channel! www.youtube.com/idioticbiotic
If it was released into a console, honestly i can see it resemble Naruto ultimate ninja storm
L desu.
I agree with most of the guys that said that it should be on a console and that console is PS2.. The PS2 is still (for me) by far the best console that was ever released in gaming history.. Back on the topic, Dissidia is good to be on the PSP but they should have still put it on the PS2, having all those characters in one game is good for the PS2, and I guess in the PS2 they can even add more characters that are also in the FF Games which would be awesome!!
Lilipad.. Lilipad.. TAKURE!
this kind of game wouldn't work on a console. I have yet to actually play a 2P match against someone face to face, as a matter of fact i have yet to play an online match too, but it's alright, the 1P game of that is interesting enough. i got Squall up to level 100, but i messed with his attacks and movelist for the sake of 100% mastery which i haven't gotten yet because the new moveset makes him weak as a kitten with maybe one or two killmoves.

McDade, Schimpf, Wilson pace Fishers in rain-delayed win in Va.Special to the Union Leader
June 14. 2014 1:28AM
RICHMOND, Va. -- Mike McDade went 3-for-5 with 3 RBI and Ryan Schimpf and Kenny Wilson hit homers as the New Hampshire Fisher Cats opened a series in Richmond with a 6-3 win over the Flying Squirrels on Friday night at The Diamond.
The game was delayed nearly two hours at the start due to thunderstorms.
Ryan Schimpf homered in the first to give the Fisher Cats an early 1-0 lead. His 15th of the season, and fourth longball of the roadtrip, came off Giants top prospect Kyle Crick (4-2).
New Hampshire (28-38) extended the lead to 2-0 in the top of the third inning. Jon Berti doubled and scored on a Mike McDade single.
Richmond (37-28) put together three hits in the third to tie the game at 2-2. Myles Schroeder and Kelby Tomlinson both singled, and both scored on a triple by Angel Villalona. Those would be the only runs the Squirrels scored against winning pitcher Austin Bibens-Dirkx (2-1), who worked five innings.
The Fisher Cats went back in front for good in the top of the fifth inning. Wilson bunted for a base hit to start the inning and Berti followed with a single, advancing into scoring position when Wilson took third. Both scored on McDade's third hit, a single to left field to make it 4-2.
Richmond closed to 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning. Matt Duffy walked, stole second and moved to third when the throw went into centerfield. Jarrett Parker plated Duffy with a double.
Wilson homered in the ninth and Berti followed with a single. He stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Schimpf's sacrifice fly.
Randy Boone worked a perfect ninth to nail down his eighth save.
The Fisher Cats and Flying Squirrels meet again on Saturday at 6:05 p.m. RHP Radhames Liz (0-0, 0.00) is scheduled to start for New Hampshire against Richmond LHP Kelvin Marte (4-2, 4.98).
The Fisher Cats return home on Tuesday, June 17, to open a three-game series against the Altoona Curve (Pittsburgh Pirates) at 7:05 p.m.

That other stuff in our tea
I drink my tea naked…that is nothing but pure liquor of the gods. Gotta keep my clothes on that is the only barrier fm the hot tea dripping fm my tea pot.
Speaking of other stuff, does anybody know of an online source for kluntjes. Kluntje is a HUGE sugar crystal, and is traditionally used, along with a spoonful of cream, in Ostfriesian (Germany) tea.
I usually put honey in my tea. Right now it amuses me to have two kinds of honey in the house: New York City honey1 from bees who live about seven blocks from my apartment, and Pitcairn Island honey2 from an extremely remote island on the other side of the planet.
Sometimes (especially for stronger-flavored teas) I use white sugar cubes instead. And in the summer when I drink gallons of iced mint tea each week, it's unsweetened.
I almost never put anything else in my tea, but today I made masala chai with milk.
1 http://www.cthoney.com/ (but their NYC stuff is unmentioned on their website)
2 http://www.government.pn/shop/honey.html
Anybody ever tried jaggery? I'd never heard of it until today on
"Jaggery comes from either the sap of sugar cane or palm trees, and its flavor is described as an aromatic blend between brown sugar and molasses with fermented or wine undertones."
sounds good, I'd like to try it. Maybe it will be the next big thing, like agave…?

Getting a movie made is hard. It's an expensive, sometimes demoralizing endeavor that often involves casting changes, periods of turnaround and multiple years. In short, it's almost always a fiasco, but as Saving Mr. Banks illustrates, fiasco is a relative term. Sometimes procuring a book's rights or getting a script that works or making a location cooperate takes so long and requires such an extraordinary effort that it goes way beyond the normal Hollywood bullshit. It leads those involved to wonder if the film will ever get made.
More often than not, movies with such glaring on-set or pre-production issues wind up lacking in some way or another. They get approved with scripts so neutered they lack impact, or they eventually involve so many producers they lack a coherent vision, or rumors of on-set problems get so loud they follow the movie around like a disease. As a general rule, less tinkering is usually better, but now and again, all of the effort actually comes together. In fact, some of the greatest movies ever released were complete nightmares to get made.
Let's take a look back at some of those debacles…

Get ready for Thanksgiving with these unique and delicious recipes from Chef Loretta Paganini.
Yield: 3 quarts
• 2 lbs. butternut squash
• 1 cup onions, small dice
• 1 cup leeks, small dice
• 1 1/2 cup carrots, small dice
• 2 wt. oz. butter
• 2 qt. chicken stock
• 1/4 tsp. ground allspice
• 1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
• Salt, to taste
• White pepper, to taste

2. Heat the butter in a heavy soup pot over medium low heat. Add onions, leeks, and carrots. Sweat until soft. Do not brown. Add chicken stock to soup pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Scoop cooked squash from the skin with a metal kitchen spoon. Add squash to the soup pot. Continue to simmer about 30 minutes, or until vegetables are thoroughly cooked and softened.
4. Puree the soup mixture in a blender. This may require several batches. Strain soup through a medium mesh strainer and discard the solids. Season with allspice, ginger, salt and pepper.
5. Portion winter squash soup into individual service bowls. Slice apples very thin and arrange attractively on top of soup. Garnish with blue cheese.
Serves 6
For Salad:
• 1 (9 oz.) bag triple washed spinach, washed & torn

2. Combine the cranberry sauce, mustard, chicken stock, horseradish, garlic powder, and thyme in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
3. Line a large baking pan with foil. Place turkey breast in pan. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush and a small spoon to completely coat the turkey with sauce.
4. Cook until the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with remaining sauce. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160°F.

LAST SEASON: 51-25-6, 108 points. Lost to Philadelphia 4-2 in first round.
COACH: Dan Bylsma, 5th season with Penguins, 165-81-25.
ADDED: C Brandon Sutter, G Tomas Vokoun, LW Tanner Glass.
LOST: C Jordan Staal, RW Steve Sullivan, G Brent Johnson, RW Arron Asham, D Zbynek Michalek.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Sidney Crosby. The 25-year-old superstar appears to be fully recovered from concussion-like symptoms that limited him to just 22 games last season. He should be back in his comfort zone with linemates Pascal Dupuis and Chris Kunitz along for the ride. If healthy, he's the game's greatest playmaker.
OUTLOOK: With Crosby and reigning league MVP Evgeni Malkin in their primes, anything less than a Stanley Cup will be considered a disappointment.
LAST SEASON:47-26-9,103 points. Lost to New Jersey Devils 4-1 in second round.
COACH: Peter Laviolette, 4th season with Flyers, 122-73-26; 11th season overall, 366-257-25-60 in NHL.
ADDED: D Luke Schenn, LW Ruslan Fedotenko, D Bruno Gervais.
LOST: RW Jaromir Jagr, G Sergei Bobrovsky, RW James van Riemsdyk, D Matt Carle, D Pavel Kubina
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Ilya Bryzgalov. Bryzgalov made few fans in his first season in Philadelphia with his quirky personality and erratic play. He had his moments of proving he was worth the $51 million, nine-year deal he signed, but he'll need more of them in the playoffs to win a Stanley Cup.
OUTLOOK: The Flyers have one of the best players in the game in team captain Claude Giroux, but the thin defense needs improvement and Bryzgalov has to improve if Philadelphia is going win its first Stanley Cup since 1975.

Microfluidic Separation System for Magnetic BeadsF. Wittbrach, A. Weddemann, A. Auge, and A. Hütten
Department of Physics, Bielefeld University, Germany
It is possible to control the motion of magnetic beads using a combination of hydrodynamic and electromagnetic forces. In this work, we investigate the possibility to manipulate the motion of beads with different magnetic moments in a special microfluidic structure so as to separate them.
We also experimentally prove that this structure is a suitable device to separate beads and show that the experimental data is in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Fewer companies are cutting earnings forecasts — but are getting punished more severely than in the past for doing it.
That's a finding from the number crunchers at FactSet, as investors prepare for the second-quarter earnings-season onslaught later this month.
Not only are companies that issue negative guidance getting beat up more than in the past, but companies that offer positive guidance aren't getting rewarded as much as they used to, according to FactSet.
For bulls, the hope is that a smaller number of profit warnings signal that long-elusive earnings growth is actually on the way as the economy picks up steam. That might help stocks maintain their upside momentum after setting a series of records in the second quarter.
Indeed, the market began the third quarter with record closes for both the S&P 500 SPX, -0.03% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.36% The Dow at one point came within two points of hitting 17,000 for the first time.
On the other hand, it's possible that the market has already factored in an anticipated pickup in earnings, said Deutsche Bank equity strategist David Bianco, in a note. Wall Sreet analysts have cut their forecasts for second-quarter earnings per share by just 1.7%, the smallest cut in three years, Bianco said.
Here's what S&P 500 companies have had to say. Through June 30, 84 firms had issued negative earnings guidance for the second quarter, while 27 issued positive guidance, according to FactSet. This is the second straight quarter that negative preannouncements have declined while positive preannouncements have increased.. It's worth noting, however, that negative preannouncements continue to run above the five-year average, while positive preannouncements are running below.
That said, negative earnings guidance peaked in the fourth quarter of last year, as the accompanying chart shows.
Yet for those 84 companies that steered their second-quarter earnings forecasts lower, the average price change (measured two days before guidance was issued through two days after) has been a fall of 1.2%. That compares to a five-year average of a drop of 0.8%. Overall, 50 of the companies saw prices fall over the period.
13 companies where drones are part of everyday life
From Google to Amazon to GoPro to China's Dajiang Innovation Technology, these are the companies leading the drone revolution.
• Drone industry's D.C. lobbyist emphasizes the human side
• Are drones illegal in your state? This map can tell you
Game of drones: Run away or throw money at it
Commentary: Therese Poletti fast forwards to world filled with drones.
• The four kinds of drone geeks
Meanwhile, the 27 companies that boosted forecasts saw an average price change of 1.2% versus the five-year average of 3%. Overall, 12 of the 27 companies that offered rosier forecasts saw prices rise.
Across the broader market, strategists at Pavilion in Montreal tallied 300 negative second-quarter preannouncements, which is toward the low end of the range seen over the past 14 years. Similarly, only 137 U.S. companies offered positive guidance.
Meanwhile, the ratio of negative to positive announcements over three months stands at 2.2, which remains near the high end of the past two expansion phases, they said in a note.
For some, that might stir memories of 2008, when the earnings outlook turned murky as companies offered less guidance. But the Pavilion strategists don't sound too worried.
They noted that June usually is the quietest month of the year for upward guidance. Moreover, there tends to be an inverse relationship between the number of companies offering guidance and earnings surprises, they said. Based on that data, a calendar quarter with 400 preannouncements signals that more than 70% of companies should report higher-than-expected earnings, they said.
"In 2008, the lack of earnings visibility due to the recession led to a drop in the number of guidances. However, considering that the current expansion is still robust, investors should not be alarmed by the recent decline in preannouncements," they wrote. "On the contrary, it probably means that companies are satisfied with the current level of Q2 earnings expectations and plan to beat them as they did in Q1."

Romantic B&B in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley
About 75 miles north of San Francisco lies the Russian River Valley, which was nominated as one of the Wine Regions of the Year by Wine Enthusiast magazine in 2011. In the heart of this up-and-coming wine country you'll find the Applewood Inn, an upscale B&B surrounded by massive redwoods. This Getaway includes a winery passport for tastings and tours at 122 nearby vineyards—you're welcome to stop by as many as you like during your visit.
The Applewood's main building is the 1922-built Belden House, a Spanish-mission-style mansion with exposed wooden beams, thick stucco walls, and river-rock fireplaces. Seven more guest rooms can be found in the three-story Piccola Casa, and the Gate House has three spacious suites of its own. All accommodations are airy and modern, with thoughtful touches such as European down comforters and plush bathrobes. Venture to the inn's backyard terrace to take a dip in the swimming pool or jacuzzi.
Sample California cuisine at a candlelit table for two in the Michelin-rated Restaurant at Applewood. Chefs Michelle Cerneant and Tyja Taube use fresh herbs and vegetables from an onsite organic garden to craft entrees such as oven-roasted Alaskan halibut and cocoa-nib-crusted rack of California lamb. Pair your eats with a bottle of wine from the restaurant's extensive collection. Each morning from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., the chefs whip up complimentary breakfast entrees including Grand Marnier french toast, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and avocado, and huevos rancheros.
Russian River Valley, California: Trendy Wineries and Historic Towns
An up-and-coming wine region in Sonoma County, the Russian River Valley is located about 30 miles east of Napa Valley. Wine Enthusiast magazine praises the Russian River Valley for its "great wine, stunning landscapes, and friendly people." It's known for producing world-class chardonnays and pinot noirs.
In the heart of the valley lies the town of Santa Rosa, a former railroad outpost founded in the mid-19th century. Many early settlers were of Italian descent, so the area around the railroad depot became known as Little Italy. Today, Santa Rosa's Railroad Square retains its old-fashioned ambiance, except the historic brick buildings now house modern restaurants, specialty shops, and antique stores. Visit the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center to learn more about the life of the Peanuts cartoonist, who called Santa Rosa home for the latter half of his life. The museum's exhibits range from an in-depth look at animation to the largest collection of Peanuts strips in the world.

HAWARA, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian protesters clashed with Israeli soldiers at a pair of rallies in the West Bank on Tuesday in support of four imprisoned countrymen on hunger strike, as hundreds of inmates said they were refusing food for the day in a show of solidarity.
The unrest escalated already heightened tensions over the hunger strike, which has prompted anti-Israel protests across the West Bank in recent days.
In unrest in the northern West Bank town of Huwara, about 200 youths hurled rocks and exploding fireworks at soldiers, who fired back tear gas and sound bombs. During the clashes, a Palestinian speeding on a motorbike knocked over a soldier. The army said he was lightly injured.
Much of the attention has surrounded prisoner Samer Issawi, whose health has severely deteriorated after an on-again, off-again hunger strike stretching more than 200 days.
Issawi, 35, suffered a new setback on Tuesday when a Jerusalem judge rejected his request to be freed on bail. Issawi is set to be sentenced this month for violating the terms of an earlier release from prison.
Later Tuesday, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged a swift solution to resolve the plight of Palestinian prisoners who are on hunger strike. U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said Ban was deeply concerned about the rapidly deteriorating condition of the hunger strikers, especially Issawi.
Israel is holding some 4,500 Palestinians for charges ranging from throwing stones to undertaking deadly militant attacks. Their incarceration is an emotional issue for Palestinians, who see them as heroes of their struggle for liberation from Israeli occupation. Virtually every Palestinian knows someone who has served time in an Israeli prison.
Issawi and another hunger striker, Ayman Sharawneh, were prisoners who were freed as part of a 2011 exchange that released hundreds of Palestinians, many of them militants involved in deadly attacks, in exchange for an Israeli soldier held by Hamas-backed militants.
Israel's prison service said Issawi served six years of a 26-year sentence for militant activity. Israel says he was arrested in July for violating the terms of his release by leaving his Jerusalem home and entering the West Bank three times.
He was convicted this month for violating the terms of his release, and for pressuring an eyewitness to lie to interrogators about his location, said lawyer Andre Rosenthal. He is expected to be sentenced later this month, Rosenthal said.
Issawi was hospitalized over the weekend after he lost consciousness, but his lawyers say his condition improved after receiving an IV drip containing vitamins and minerals.
Sharawneh has refused food for more than 70 days. He halted his strike for a month and resumed it two weeks ago. Sharawneh, who was arrested in January 2012, has not been sentenced.
Israel's high court is expected to hear Sharawneh's appeal on Feb. 20. There were no details on the original accusations against Sharawneh or how he had violated the terms of his release.
The other two hunger strikers are being held on administrative detention, a system where prisoners can be held without being charged for months at a time.
Amani Srahna of the Palestinian Prisoners Club, a group representing the interests of Palestinians held by Israel, said 800 inmates in three prisons were participating in Tuesday's one-day hunger protest. The prisoners include those belonging to the militant Islamic Jihad faction, which has led previous mass hunger strikes.
In the West Bank, dozens of youths, their faces masked, others with the colorful red-green-white-and black Palestinian flag tied around their necks, set tires alight, threw rocks and hurled others with slingshots at Israeli forces at the Ofer military prison near the city of Ramallah.
Soldiers fired tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets in response, the army said.
Six youths were moderately injured by rubber bullets and live fire, said Palestinian health official Ahmed Beitwai. The military said Israeli forces did not use live fire against the demonstrators.
In Ramallah, men and women held signs calling for the release of prisoners.
It was the second consecutive day of protests across the West Bank.
Last year hundreds of Palestinian prisoners went on a mass hunger strike to demand better incarceration conditions. In a deal mediated by Egyptian officials, they were promised more family visits and limits on administrative detention.
With additional reporting by Diaa Hadid and Ian Deitch in Jerusalem and Dalia Nammari in Ramallah.

Kensington fire damages porchBY JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
May 06. 2013 9:22PM
KENSINGTON — Firefighters haven't determined the cause of a fire that damaged part of a porch on a house at 14 Moulton Ridge Road Monday afternoon.
The fire broke out around 1:30 p.m. outside the porch and traveled about a foot inside the room, Fire Chief Charles LeBlanc said.
A portion of the siding and exterior wall was damaged, but the porch sustained no significant structural damage, LeBlanc said.
A person at the residence attempted to put the fire out, LeBlanc said.
The fire was knocked down quickly once firefighters arrived.
No one was injured.

The issue has been the division of the league's sizeable profits. Last year, players collected 57 percent of league revenues and they have offered to give up $500 million over the next five years, bringing their share down to 54.3 percent.
Unfortunately, that is a far cry from the 50-50 split the league proposes, and even further from the 55-45 division the owners want – with the players on the short end of the stick, of course. (Ironically, during the last lockout thirteen years ago, it was the owners who proposed the deal that had been in place until just days ago.)
Basketball analysts have long suggested that the NBA is a league that has more than enough money to go around, making the distribution of it the only obstacle in the way of a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
The players essentially agree, but the league has stated that 22 of the 30 teams in the NBA lost money last year. Yet these same owners have been throwing around lucrative contracts to every player who will listen, even mediocre players who can never live up to the inflated expectations placed on them.
Put simply, the players have every right to be upset with the current owners' proposal. The players offer to give up a half-billion dollars, owners want players to forego nearly twice that amount, even though the existing deal was the owners' own proposal in the last negotiations.
The upcoming season could potentially be one of the most productive years for the NBA in some time. But neither this nor the prospect of depriving fans of a season seems motivation enough to get a deal done. With both sides so committed to the sport that they have decided to go on vacation, basketball fans should do the same.
It seems like a slam-dunk to me.

40 More Passport Stamps Worth Bragging About
"Russia—so long awaited, visited in dreams, premonitions, and obvious red tape. They keep you waiting forever in wonder and anticipation. I had a shameless grin once the stereotypical Olga gave me the final stamp of entry." —Carrie Budner
"Italy because it was my first and Egypt because I've always wanted to go since world history class in 6th grade. Finally made it!" —Nicki Stacy
"Israel, for not only my first passport stamp, but an adventure that taught me the love of travel. I went by myself at age 19, met amazing people from all over the world, learned about Israel and lots of different cultures, but of course, learned more about myself than anything. Still traveling, and learning, independently, 25 years later." —Emily Meyerson
"Turkey! They accidently stamped the wrong entry date, which caused problems, so I had to navigate alone to the police department, where the officer stuck a mini post-It note in my passport to correct it and sign off. This post-it remains in my passport today." —Valerie Franks
"Laos." —Tia Turner
"Maldives. It's simply heaven on earth." —Manuela Anamaria
"Bhutan. I had first heard of Gross National Happiness from a high school teacher and was determined to get there myself. It was completely worth it. What an amazing country!" —Katie Hallock
"Lithuania. Just after the re establishment of its independence, I brought my mother back to her homeland 45 years after fleeing during the war. The tears of joy were priceless. Our next goal is Munich, where she lived in a displaced persons camp for more than four years while waiting for approval to emigrate to the U.S." —Lisa Blanco
"The stamp I got from the French immigration office just before crossing the English Channel from Dover to Calais during my recent trip to London and Paris with Contiki. It was so exciting to know we'd be in France in 90 minutes and having dinner in Paris that night!" —@willwrite4food2
"Egypt six years ago. So grateful that I got to see the beauty of this country and its people before all the unrest. The Egyptian people welcomed us with open arms and I will never forget my two weeks there. They were life changing for me." —Marion Westerling
"All of them. Having to pick one, it would come down to either China or India with India winning out." —Christopher D. Peterson
"Singapore and Malaysia." —Jorge Arm
"Hands down, Galapagos Islands. I was pretty bitter when someone else used the same page on a recent trip!" —@Jill_Lynnette
"Jamaica. It was my very first trip outside of the U.S. and I loved it!" —Kristy Dickens Epperson
"Belgium because it was my first stamp." —Holly Slade Bommer
"I'm headed to Curacao in a few weeks and that stamp will mark the 35th country I've traveled to. It'll also be the stamp that retires a three-year-old passport that has completely run out of pages." —Pui Chi Wong
"My Myanmar visa last month. Such an exciting, exotic, and fulfilling trip!" —@MarathonScott
"Falkland Islands." —Sebastian Strozza
"Portugal with my Dad to visit relatives that I had never met before. Best time ever with my Dad!" —Michelle Sirois
"My Jose Marti stamp from the Havana, Cuba, airport. Probably because as an American citizen I wasn't supposed to be there." —Kathleen Loepker
"Egypt. I wanted to visit Egypt since I was knee high and realized such dream in November of 2010. It was the trip of a lifetime." —Michelle DiGaetano
"A Yugoslav visa that expired on the last day of "Yugoslavia's" existence as a country, Mongolian stamp, two Czech work visa stamps, Russia, and most of Eastern Europe in 1999 and from 2002 to 2004, and China. I have one expired passport that has about 70 stamps, the whole thing is valuable to me." —Tania Rymond
"On my current passport it is Kenya. It was a life-changing trip. On my first passport it was Iraq. I got what I thought was a visa to work there but when I got there, it turns out it was a stamp to allow me to get a visa. Thankfully, I was working for CND ambassador and Iraq customs let me stay." —@MarjiStevens
"Zimbabwe—I walked across the border from Zambia." —Dave Bloom
"Stamp from Machu Picchu." —Lauren Lee Mohutsky
"Australia." —Terri Jackson
"St. Petersburg, Russia. It was from my honeymoon. Yes, we went to Russia on our honeymoon. As a child growing up in the Cold War, it was unbelievable to be walking around in Mother Russia." —Chris Knight
"Barbados, my very first stamp of many." —26 Travel
"Tanzania." —Sigrid Garavito
"Belize. I love going there time and time again!" —Jessie Doherty
"Tibet, Cuba, North and South Korea, and the Maldives." —Sanje Chödrön Lama

"Prague." —Gretchen Genador Hord
"French Polynesia." —Derrick Caldwell
"Uruguay, as it never occurred to me to want to go there, but it is a beautiful country with some great wine." —Katrina Clarence Rene
"Silly as it sounds...the stamps in my EPCOT World Showcase passport. I worked at Walt Disney World in 2003 and it reminds me of my time there." —Christopher Hammel

Like the rest of the female college world, I have been swept up in the Pinterest craze. The information sharing site allows users to "pin" things they enjoy to categorized boards for users who follow to see. The other day, a friend pinned a link to instructions to make these tanks from t-shirts. Being in a sorority, I have an inordinate amount of t-shirts that could use some remodeling, so I decided to give it a try. Now I have turned two t-shirts that I never wear into cute new tank tops.
Although there is already a set of instructions, I came up with my own to help you avoid a few of the problems that I ran into along the way. Transform your old T's into tanks by following the instructions below.

News for 8/6/2006
More Changes for 'Criminal Intent'
Randle replaces Gaye as new DA
In what may be the shortest stint ever by a regular on a "Law & Order" series, actress Nona Gaye has left the show only a few weeks into production.
Gaye, who was to have played a new assistant district attorney on the series, will be replaced by Theresa Randle ("Bad Boys II"), according to The Hollywood Reporter. She begins work this week and will shoot a few scenes for the season premiere, the bulk of which has already filmed.
She'll be one of several new faces on "Criminal Intent," which begins its sixth season in September on a new night -- Tuesdays, where it will be paired with "SVU" in a two-hour "L&O" block. Julianne Nicholson ("Conviction") has stepped in for Annabella Sciorra as Detective Mike Logan's (Chris Noth) partner, and Eric Bogosian ("Love Monkey," "Wonderland") is taking over the police captain's role from Jamey Sheridan.
Gaye ("The Matrix Revolutions") left the show over the oft-cited "creative differences," the HR says. Randle was hired quickly and for now is scheduled to appear in three episodes, with an option to become a regular.
In addition to the two "Bad Boys" movies, Randle's credits include the Spike Lee films "Malcolm X" and "Girl 6" and "Spawn." Her run on "Criminal Intent" will be her first extended work on a TV series.

I just purchased the Fantasy Football Pro Forecast magazine that I buy before every year. Each year twelve "experts" from different fantasy groups (yahoo, sportsline.com, espn, etc) put out the rankings of the Top 15 QB, 20 RB, 20 WR, 10 TE, 15 K and 15 Defenses.
There are exactly ZERO Seahawks listed in any of the rankings by the experts in any of the positions.

It's another Jimmy Fallon musical masterpiece. This time he joins the cast of the new NBC show 'Guys With Kids' to celebrate the lost art of the TV theme song…by singing a four-minute medley of some of the greatest themes of all time. Added bonuses: audience singalong (naturally) plus a 'Mary Tyler Moore' freeze frame. Can you name every theme song?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The National Park Service is reviewing a report that could lead to penalties being levied against a foundation led by the daughter of the lead plaintiff in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka et al. school desegregation case.
The Department of the Interior's Office of Inspector General conducted the review after an audit released in December 2011 found more than $600,000 in questionable costs and widespread problems with how the Brown Foundation for Educational Equity, Excellence and Research spent federal money before it was kicked out of the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka.
David Smith, superintendent of the Brown site, said Friday that the National Park Service was given the report April 29 and has been given 90 days to finish its review and determine what action it will take. Options include everything from doing nothing to seeking reimbursement from the Brown foundation and its leader, Cheryl Brown Henderson. He said he couldn't comment about the contents of the report. And the Office of Inspector General isn't releasing the report until the park service finishes its review.
Foundation attorney Kevin Fowler said he hasn't been provided a copy of the report.
"We hope the report is going to resolve the concerns with the original audit," he said. "We have had concerns that we have communicated not only to the National Park Service but to the Office of Inspector General."
Brown Henderson was instrumental in gaining federal funding to start the Brown site in the former all-black Topeka school where her sister, Linda Brown, and another plaintiff's child were students. The site opened in 2004 amid fanfare, including a visit from then-President George W. Bush, as the nation marked the 50th anniversary of the ruling overturning segregated education.
The foundation began operating rent-free in the historic site's second floor and received more than three-quarters of its budget from the park service — about $300,000 annually.
But while the foundation had a longstanding relationship with the park service, problems arose after Brown Henderson was picked to lead the National Park site in 2010. She held the position for just six months before resigning to resume leading the foundation she co-founded.
A federal investigation released before the audit found Brown Henderson had failed to limit her involvement with the foundation while she led the National Park site. That involvement was seen as a conflict of interest because the foundation received so much of its budget from the park service while employing her sister and boyfriend.
The ensuing audit examined the foundation's finances from October 2008 through September 2011. Out of about $900,000 in federal funding awarded over that span, the auditors found nearly $621,000 in questionable costs.
Among the problematic expenses the audit identified was the $72,000 paid annually to the foundation's chief operating officer. He was identified in the federal investigation as the boyfriend of Brown Henderson. Because the foundation paid for an outside accountant, the auditors could "not see any benefit" to his duties.
Auditors also said the foundation inappropriately spent money on fundraising, personal mobile telephone expenses and home Internet service for employees, as well as personal household expenses that didn't benefit the foundation.

Twentieth Century Fox will roll out several TV events at Comic-Con in San Diego later this month, including sneak peeks for new shows, panel discussions with old classics, live table reads, and a two-story signing booth on the convention floor.
Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Orlando Jones and other stars from shows such as "American Horror Story," "Salem," "Witches of East End," "Bones," "24: Live Another Day" and "Sons of Anarchy" will be on hand to sign autographs, hobnob with the fans or speak on one of the 13 panels scheduled for the confab.
To pull out a few highlights of interest to Hero Complex's witchcraft fans, "Salem" will show peeks of its second season. The first original series from WGN, a Chicago network best known for showing Chicago Cubs baseball games and sitcom reruns, entered the crowded Sunday night spread in April. The first episode drew 2.3 million viewers over four airings. (WGN is owned by Tribune Co. which also owns the Los Angeles Times.)
Competing against shows such as HBO's "Game of Thrones," CBS' "The Good Wife" and AMC's "Mad Men," "Salem" was co-helmed by executive producer Brannon Braga. In an interview with Hero Complex in April, he described the show as "a unique blend of 'The Exorcist' with a little David Lynch thrown in."
On the other end of the coven, the Lifetime series "Witches of East End," which earned solid ratings in its recently completed debut season, will show off selected scenes from the second. The cast of "American Horror Story: Coven" will discuss its last banner season, as well as preview the next franchise installment, "American Horror Story: Freak Show."
For the other events, check out the schedule below:
Warner Bros. TV to tout 'iZombie,' 'Arrow' in addition to 'Gotham,' 'The Flash' at Comic-Con
