Tejay van Garderen gets edge on rival Tom Danielson in rain

<html>Aug 23:Aug 22:Aug 21:BEAVER CREEK Boulder's Tom Danielson crested 9,560-foot Bachelor Gulch on Thursday and looked down at a descent that could make or break his USA Pro Challenge. A 2,000-foot downhill ride, slick from rain hammering the pavement, could definitely break more than his chances. Tejay van Garderen, the prerace favorite and new Aspen resident, was on his rear wheel with the same view. Throwing caution to the rain and hungry to make up for a disappointing USA Pro Challenge in 2011, van Garderen flew down the mountain like a runaway bobsled. He and Colombian Janier Acevedo left Danielson in the rain as van Garderen took a firm grip on the yellow jersey. Van Garderen allowed Acevedo, of the Continental team Jamis-Hagens USA Pro Challenge riders take on a king of the mountain hill Thursday during the 103.7-mile fourth stage, which went from Steam- boat Springs to Beaver Creek. The seven-stage race wraps up Sunday in downtown Denver. (Hyoung Chang, The Denver Post)Berman, to win Stage 4. But van Garderen took the overall lead over BMC Racing teammate Mathias Frank by four seconds. Acevedo is in third place, 30 seconds back. Danielson lost 22 seconds and is 40 seconds back in fourth place going into Friday's crucial Vail time trial. Boulder's Matt Cooke kept the king of the mountain jersey for the fourth straight day. "As soon as the descent started, it was wet and tricky,Solheim Cup At The Colorado Golf Club CBS Denver_3," van Garderen said. "Janier took one corner pretty hot and Tom Danielson looked like he was a little timid. I thought, 'OK, let's go for it.' " Danielson didn't use the word "timid." Amazed? Maybe. He couldn't believe what he saw from van Garderen and Acevedo. "They were just taking risks and sliding all over the yellow line," Danielson said. "I just didn't do that. I was beaten by a better guy." Careening down slick, windy streets at 50 mph has led to the end of many careers, not to mention bones. It's not advisable for recreational riders, but van Garderen has a couple of keys. One, he said BMC's Continental tires are especially good in the rain. And two? "You want to avoid touching your front break,David Lee balls hard at Rucker Park (video)," he said, "because if you touch your front break in the corners, you're Fans enjoy the view from a perfect perch while watching Stage 4 of the USA Pro Challenge on Thursday. (Hyoung Chang, The Denver Post)going to slide out." Van Garderen claims he's not a great descender in the rain, but Danielson won last year's stage to Aspen with an epic descent down Independence Pass. However,Vanessa Pham trial- Julio Blanco Garcia's videotaped interrogation played_0, it was dry that day. "I would think Tom's a little frustrated right now," van Garderen said. "That's understandable. But at the end of the day, every inch of the road, we're racing on. If you have a weakness in any area, it's going to show through." The plan was for Danielson's Boulder-based Team Garmin-Sharp to break van Garderen on the way up Bachelor Gulch. The trio, plus Frank,Communications Tower Falls Near Safe Passage Route, had broken from the peloton shortly before the ascent and Danielson made numerous attacks. On each one, van Garderen was on his wheel, occasionally drafting off Frank. "I thought I could drop him,Bill Barnwell on the bottom eight teams in the NFL in 2013," Danielson said, "but I couldn't." Meanwhile, Acevedo continued his fine year. This stage win came on the heels of third-place finishes in the tours of California and Utah. "I was feeling very good during the week and I had a tremendous day," Acevedo said through a translator. "I was confident. When it was going so hard, I had good legs." Stage 4 at a glance Big winner: Tejay van Garderen put himself on the inside rail to finish in Denver with the yellow jersey. He smoked the field in the queen stage Thursday, refusing to back down from Tom Danielson's continuous attacks up Bachelor Gulch. Falling back: Luxembourger Andy Schleck of RadioShack Leopard Trek started the day within striking distance, 1:18 behind the leader. He finished in 41st place, 9:13 back, and fell 10:31 behind van Garderen. What's next: The Vail time trial made famous during the Red Zinger and Coors Classic returns Friday after a one-year absence. It's 10 miles straight up Vail Pass Trail and starts at 1:05 p.m. John Henderson, The Denver Post

Aha! Here's a notion. How about I take a recipe from the Esquire Drink Book (1956), fancy it up a bit, and name the drink after the recently deceased author of a 1998 novel about the Spanish-American War? (Stock/Getty Images)NEW YORK Oh, man, I'm in a jam here. Gotta stay up late to finish an article - an article about a Caribbean-American highball known most correctly as the Cuba Libre and most commonly as the rum and Coke. Gonna be burning the midnight oil writing a piece on this classic drink, which became a classic despite not being especially good. Eyelids getting heavy. If only I had at hand a drink that would keep me up and loosen me up, a fizzy liquid stimulant ...

Aha! Here's a notion. How about I take a recipe from the Esquire Drink Book (1956), fancy it up a bit, and name the drink after the recently deceased author of a 1998 novel about the Spanish-American War? Elmore Leonard's Cuba Libre 1 key lime 2 dashes Angostura bitters 2 ounces light rum Mexican Coca-Cola to taste Cut the tiny little key lime in half. If you're feeling fussy,Ted Thompson Press Conference- Discussing the Pack, pick out the seeds and discard them. With a garlic press or your dainty fingers, squeeze the juice of the lime into a chilled tall glass. Go ahead and toss the shells of the squeezed lime halves in the glass-it's festive. Add the bitters and the rum. Fill the glass with ice. Give a quick stir before topping off the glass with the Coke. Give another quick stir. Serve. Oh, this is not bad. This is as refined as a Cuba Libre can get, I think. The key lime (which is more tart and bitter than the familiar Persian kind) works with the aromatic bitters and with the Mexican Coke (sweetened with cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup) to give the drink a semblance of complexity. Why, this is almost a proper cocktail! Rarely does the Cuba Libre rise to such distinction. Yes, some people brightly suggest reducing the Coke to a syrup and restructuring the drink as an old-fashioned. Others indicate that a well-chosen rum, such as Appleton Special Gold, can ennoble the cola and elevate the drinking experience. But for the most part, people of all levels of sophistication-from veteran cocktailians to college students too naive to understand that asking for a vodka and Coke is asking, first of all, to get carded-understand that cola is, in a mixological context, not so much an ingredient as a masking agent. Indeed, the best thing that ever happened to the soft-drink industry was Prohibition, which encouraged casual drinkers to switch to soda and committed drinkers to disguise the taste of low-end hooch by any means necessary. Very few old-school cocktails call for cola (though the Filmograph calls for a bygone "kola tonic" these days best approximated by a South African syrup), and very few fancy-cocktail folk care to work with its heavy caramel sweetness either, for reasons summarized by a source interviewed for a recent New York Post story on "snotty" bartenders. "I don't carry Coca-Cola," one Phil Ward tells the tabloid. "It ruins palates."* Where did the Cuba Libre come from? An island country south of Florida, of course. The most credible story of its invention dates to August 1900-two years after the Spanish-American War freed Cuba from Spanish reign, 14 years after a Georgia druggist named John Pemberton developed Coca-Cola as nonalcoholic version of coca wine, 38 years after brothers Facundo and Jos?? Bacardi bought a distillery in Santiago de Cuba. The story-described in a sworn affidavit featured in a vintage Bacardi ad-has it that a U.S. military man ordered one in a bar and that other patrons followed suit. However, a current Bacardi ad campaign implies that the drink came into being after one of Teddy Roosevelt's most rugged Rough Riders attempted to chat up a surly-eyed,Yanda, Webb active for Ravens, Dickson, McPhee scratched, fine-cheekboned gal in a peasant skirt. Read more about this campaign in Advertising Age, which notes that "rum ads have lately been turning toward historical figures." Ad Age cites as further examples Captain Morgan and also Sailor Jerry, which you may add to a tall glass, with cola and stout,City Sets Deadline For Owners Of Landmark 120, to make a Shave and a Haircut. Down on the bottom shelf of your local liquor store-possibly on the far side of a pane of bulletproof glass-you may also notice Admiral Nelson's Spiced Rum, which you may add to your gas tank as a corrosion inhibitor. The rum and Coke is the West Indian equivalent of the gin and tonic-a highball symbolic of empire. Rum, a liquor essential to the geometry of the Atlantic slave trade, met Coke, the consummate quaff of American capitalism. (Think of Cocacolonization and Godard's "Children of Marx and Coca-Cola." Remember Andy Warhol's silkscreens and his philosophy of soda-populism: "A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking.") Understand that the drink became broadly popular on these shores during World War II; with domestic distilleries aiding the war effort, rum consumption increased 400 percent, and with Coca-Cola exempt from sugar rationing, well, there you had it. Consider, also, the story of "Rum and Coca-Cola," a Trinidadian calypso song written about U.S. soldiers "debauching local women" and, implicitly, also about the military-industrial complex they rode in on. Morey Amsterdam ripped off the original and reworked it for the Andrews Sisters, whose version became the second-biggest record of the 1940's (after "White Christmas"). Now that's what I call cultural appropriation. What's the best way to wash the taste of it from one's mouth? I have three ideas. The first is to reach back in history and up to New England. Until the 1920s, when Coca-Cola usurped its position, the most popular soft drink in the U.S. was Moxie, an enduring cult favorite on account of its sarsaparilla bitterness and medicinal tang. The bottlers offer some worthy suggestions on the "Moxology" page of their official website, but trial and error have led me to a superior cocktail application. Like I said,Contest winners announced- Faried T_3, I'm in a jam here: Plop half an ounce of Moxie jelly (ingredients: Moxie soda, sugar, pectin) into a mixing glass. Add a few dashes of your preferred bitters to deepen its flavor. Add a few ounces of your preferred rum and stir to dissolve the jelly. Add a lot of cracked ice and keep stirring. Strain into an old-fashioned glass over ice, add an orange twist, take a sip, and pour it all down the sink, probably, unless you share this writer's taste for radical rootiness. The second notion is a crowd-pleaser from The PDT Cocktail Book-the Cinema Highball, a rum and Coke made with buttered-popcorn-infused rum. I directed my editor to don her lab coat and get to fat washing, with the aim of delivering a batch of this infused rum. She delivered a bit less than half a batch, along with an account of certain discoveries made at dinner the night before: The popcorn flavor really comes through. The squeeze of lime recommended in the original recipe clashes with the butter. The stuff doesn't really complement tempeh tacos. The third idea is the most interesting and the most hopeless-an as-yet-uninvented drink currently named the Quixotic Exotic Coke. For a year or so, I have been sporadically attempting to invent a rum and Coke that has no Coke in it. The idea is to replicate the taste of Coca-Cola by finding the ideal flavor balance of liquors and liqueurs. I've tried this using Ramazzotti as the base,Harvey signs on for 2014 for AFL 'Roos, Galliano and Licor 43 to capture Coke's note of vanilla, dashes and one-eighth-ounces of B??n??dictine and green Chartreuse to duplicate nuances of sweetness and spice, figuring out which sparkling water (Perrier) best replicates the charge of Coke's distinctive fizz, and so on. I've had no success with this, despite consulting professional bartenders-a few of whom, I discovered, had independently developed the same hobby of tinkering toward a boozy imitation of the inimitable. It's not terribly difficult to come up with a formula for something that tastes like RC Cola, or something that is, on its merits, better than Coke, but it is impossible to fake the Real Thing.

Speaking of ruining things, would it harsh your buzz to hear about the space that Coke's archrival inhabits within the world of mixed drinks? Pepsi is not specified as an ingredient in any classic cocktail, but you will run across mentions of it in a number of less-discriminating bar guides and crowd-sourced compendia. You can infer from the names of Pepsi-topped drinks that he said the tone of the proceedings is fairly base. There's the Chocolate Chicken, the Buttered Pancakes, the Bitches Ain't Shit, the Wicked Llama, the Panty Dropper No. 5, and (sorry, Mom) the Cum in a Blender.

Meanwhile, RC Cola maintains a characteristically low profile in this arena, despite its effort to launch a custom cocktail in honor of the second-biggest royal wedding of 2011-the union of Princess Anne's daughter and some rugby player. Also, you can mix Royal Crown Cola with Crown Royal whiskey to create a Royal Crown Royal, best enjoyed while reading Ford Madox Ford.

Faith schools cannot continue their immoral policy of discri

<html>"How are the mighty fallen!" is a biblical verse that will not only be well-known by the Roman Catholic state school,US swimmer near end of Cuba to Florida attempt, the London Oratory, but now applies directly to them. The school – famously chosen by both Tony Blair and Nick Clegg for their sons – has by the for breaching the schools admissions code and ordered to change its policy.The school's criteria for entry included parents participating in church life for at least three years beforehand through activities such as singing in the choir, serving at the altar or arranging flowers. There is nothing wrong with these practices – and many would consider them very worthy – but they should be pertinent only to the individual concerned, not determine whether the children of such parents qualify for a place in a state school.This case was specific to the London Oratory, but the issue is much wider, for such breaches are endemic to the way faith schools operate. Unlike any other state-funded institution in society, they are allowed to base admission on belief. Spending time in church to gain a place has become the religious equivalent of paying cash for honours.It would be unthinkable – not to mention illegal – for entry to hospitals or libraries to depend on a person's faith. Why should schools be privileged? It is a legal anomaly that is immoral and should be rectified. The fact that such discrimination is permissible because of specific speaks volumes and effectively says: we know this departs from our normal standards.Equally remarkable is that it is such a religious own goal, for it reverses the original mission of churches to embrace the whole of society, not withdraw into itself and cater for a particular constituency. Alongside these theoretical objections are the negative practical consequences, which apply also to schools of other faiths: they segregate their children, isolating them from those of a different background. That is not healthy for the children concerned, nor for society as a whole.The better faith schools will teach about other belief systems, but that is no substitute for the children interacting on a daily basis. It is tragic that the last 20 years have seen an explosion in schools from the minority faiths – especially Jewish and Muslim, but now also Hindu and Sikh. Children that used to grow up alongside each other,EA COO Peter Moore- 'We don't ship a game at EA that is offline' (video), are now becoming strangers. The more multifaith and multiethnic Britain becomes, the more schools should be where children mix and meet and learn about each other in the interests of social cohesion.From an educational point of view,Sun Sentinel Insider_3, it is a perverse lesson that we are teaching children – saying everyone is equal,Four Phases Report Card- Browns vs. Bears_0, yet then separating them by faith groups and thereby creating an "us and them" culture. Yes,‘Beat the Heat’ sweepstakes- Register, it was churches that pioneered schools in Britain centuries ago – and all credit to them for doing so – but that is no argument for maintaining a socially divisive educational policy today. The has recently been formed to tackle the issue, uniting both religious and secular groups who object to its continuing presence.Faith should have a role in schools – with multifaith studies taught both as an academic subject and to advance understanding of one's different-faith neighbour – but it should not be allowed to discriminate between children.In contrast to the Oratory, some Church of England schools in the Diocese of London have decided that while they will maintain a particular ethos, they will be open to all in their local area. I bet God prefers them.</html>

The geography of taste- how our food preferences are formed

<html>Italian, then Indian, followed by Vietnamese? I've never been any good at picking favourites. I'm a mood-driven soul and having my diet restricted to one regional cuisine would feel as though the world were suddenly stripped of colour (although on the plus side, my spice cupboard would be nice and tidy). However, despite a national love of food from far-flung lands – Turkish to Thai, Sicilian to Sri Lankan, Polish to Punjabi – most restaurants here are tailored to suit British tastes. Humans may be omnivores, but we're damned picky omnivores. One nation's succulent horse fillet is another's scandalous counterfeit beef.There's more to it than geographyWhile terrain, climate, flora, fauna and religion have influenced traditional cuisines,News and Information Programming, individual cultures also develop unique preferences and aversions within these confines. The anthropologist Jeremy MacClancy has observed that the hunter-gatherer tribes on Earth today – nomadic peoples who do not farm and can eat only what nature has to offer – are as finicky as the next person. The Mbuti pygmies in Angola understandably find the idea of feasting on leopards a bit gross, because leopards eat humans. And primates resemble people too much to be appetising. Kalahari bushmen know about 100 desert plants to be edible, but only 14 varieties are considered desirable. They hunt giraffes, warthogs and antelope, but think ostrich tastes bad, and zebra meat is dismissed as smelly.Culinary peculiarities also exist among different ancient tribes who live side by side. In Kenya, the Masai drink plenty of cow's milk and blood, whereas the neighbouring Akikuyu people are all about spuds and cereals.The genealogy of taste perceptionAlong with environmental and cultural factors affecting our food choices, there is evidence that genetic makeup influences how we experience taste. The basic tastes of sweet,AusAID worker's claim refused, sour, salty, bitter and are detected when chemicals that produce those tastes bind with certain receptors on our tongues. We all have different amounts of these various receptors,Kings Retiring Peja Stojakovic’s Jersey-, depending on our DNA, and research has shown that sensitivity to one particular bitter compound (which is easy to measure, and is ) . In some parts of Asia, South America and Africa, as much as 85% of native populations are highly sensitive tasters. Ethnic Europeans sit at the lower end of the scale.The geography of recipesMost of our food loves and hates are learned. Foetuses and breastfed babies , and have been shown to develop in their mothers' diets. And when we start eating solids, our concept of acceptable foods evolves quickly. Over time, the way we perceive certain flavours is programmed according to how we usually consume them. that in the west, because we associate vanilla with sweet foods, it has come to enhance our perception of sweetness – our brains automatically do this. In east Asia, vanilla doesn't make food taste sweeter because it is predominantly used in savoury dishes. So cultural cuisines don't only differ in dominant ingredients (such as curry spices, parmesan cheese or chillies), they also have conflicting opinions of what goes with what. Traditional European gastronomy is all about pairing foods that share flavours, but a 2011 study () found that Asian cooking does the opposite and avoids combining similar flavours. The researchers reached this conclusion after identifying the flavour compounds in 381 ingredients that are used internationally, and then studied 56,498 recipes containing them.The globalisation effectAs the world shrinks, regional preferences will surely be subject to increasing dilution, but this is happening slower than you might think. On the one hand, says , you'll see Italian teens shunning their local vino in favour of American-style beer. And while coffee and crisps were "almost unknown" in China a decade ago,Ohio man who threatened police holds 'idiot' sign, they're now rapidly growing markets there.On the other hand, multinational companies alter their products for each market. Take fast food. In China, KFC's headline product is a chicken burger, and both McDonald's and KFC have much more visible salad content in recognition of the three food groups necessary in every meal: grains, protein and vegetables. And rice remains more common than fries.Even Nescafé gets regional adjustments. "In the UK," says Lukehurst, "Gold Blend has a very low content of and is very smooth and rich in flavour, while in the Philippines Nescafé has a much greater robusta content and a stronger, more full bodied taste. The degree of roasting and the way that the coffee is processed will be adjusted, too."Meanwhile, what's on the menu at the high-street trattoria will differ not only from country to country but also within Italy,Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® Partners With Teach f, throwing up all sorts of debates about authenticity. Have you ever been shocked when travelling to find that you don't like the local grub nearly as much as you like the version you get back home?

<html>Mesut Ozil felt compelled to leave on deadline day after the Spanish club's hierarchy made clear they had lost faith in his abilities, prompting his eye-catching ￡42.5m transfer to .The Germany international's club-record arrival has provoked thrilled anticipation at the Emirates Stadium,Dirk Bauermann im Interview- -Sie legen ein Tempo vor, das ist brutal-, with Theo Walcott saying the signing had pepped collective confidence, whereas Ozil's former Real team-mates reacted with dismay. Alvaro Arbeloa described him as "a phenomenon" while Sergio Ramos summed up the mood at the Bernabéu, even in the wake of Gareth Bale's ￡86m arrival, by claiming: "If I'd had a say in the matter, Ozil would be one of the last players to leave."The 24-year-old Ozil admitted surprise that the transfer had transpired having not envisaged departing the Spanish club. "At the weekend I was certain I would stay at Real Madrid but, afterwards, I realised I did not have the faith from the coach or the bosses,AusAID worker's claim refused," he said in an interview with the German football federation's website. "I am a player who needs this faith and that is what I have felt from Arsenal, which is why I have joined."I am really looking forward to it because I have the faith of the coach. I had spoken to him at length on the telephone,Whitey Bulger a 'Hands, he explained his plans and that he has faith in me – that is what I need as a player. I am looking forward to the new challenge. I have already heard that they have super fans, the city is great and the team is fantastic."[Arsène] Wenger gives me the faith and I can develop further. I know what I can do and I know that I could make the grade with any club in the world because I am so convinced in myself, but if I don't feel people have faith in me, then that is why I had to leave. At Arsenal,Florida Sheriff Says Florida Gulf Coast University Promoting The Use Of The N, I feel I have this fully. I am sure the new coach is going to develop me further and I am also really looking forward to playing in the Premier League."His new team-mates,Williams bez straty gema w ćwierćfinale US Open, bolstered by Sunday's north London derby victory against Tottenham Hotspur, are revelling in the high-profile addition to their number. "The likes of Ozil coming into the team will only boost our confidence," said Walcott, who had watched the drama of transfer deadline day unfurl while at the England team hotel at St George's Park. "He will hopefully bring the best out of the players and I'm personally really looking forward to it. With the amount of assists he has for club and country, it will help my game."He is a massive player, someone who has played for Real Madrid and Germany, and he's only 24 so he's reaching the top of his game. It will be another big boost to the club after such a great result at the weekend. He has shown it for his club and country for many years now and I think it is an absolutely fantastic signing. Just look at his record and the assists he has got. I played against him for the Under-21s back in 2009 when we lost 4-0 [in the final of the European Championships] and he showed his qualities then. He's a great addition."</html>

Emmett-Furla Films moves into game

<html>But when they landed a three-picture deal with Hasbro last year,Research reveals Facebook hashtags have zero viral, Randall Emmett and George Furla turned heads. With adaptations of games Monopoly and and the Action Man toy, the producers now find themselves in the tentpole biz, a four-quadrant arena where they haven’t played before. “Monopoly” will be the first project to go into production, in 2014, followed by “Hungry Hungry Hippos,ME w koszykówce- Gruzini rozbili Polaków,” Emmett/Furla’s first foray into animation. Hasbro has been looking to get a “Monopoly” movie on the bigscreen since 2009, and the project, which has Ridley Scott attached as a producer, will likely begin production next summer.
“We’re very optimistic with the take,” Emmett says of the film that was recently set up at Sony — which also is developing an adaptation of Hasbro’s board game Risk,Coming 'very' soon- details of Tony Abbott's savings, with Overbrook Entertainment’s James Lassiter. It hopes to begin the two-year animation process on “Hungry Hungry Hippos” next year. With each film, Emmett/Furla will independently finance the productions before shopping them to a studio for a distribution deal the way Universal released “2 Guns” domestically, covering all of the marketing costs. To finance the films, it’s turning to a? $500 million-plus fund it set up with Envision Entertainment’s Stepan Martirosyan and Remington Chase, who have amassed fortunes from Russian oil and real estate holdings before backing films with Emmett/Furla in 2011. That money helped elevate the types of films Emmett and Furla make. And with Hasbro in the fold, Hollywood is taking the producers more seriously than ever. If a major player like Hasbro is willing to put some of its valuable brands in the hands of Emmett and Furla, why not other movies looking for backing when studios are less willing to take a chance on an unproven property?

already is one of the more prolific shingles in Hollywood, having produced more than 70 films,Photos- Man who held 3 women captive for decade dead in suic, which have earned more than $500 million at the worldwide B.O. since 1998.

But should “Monopoly” alone hit big, Emmett/Furla could quickly see its success transform within just a few weeks in theaters. “It is a big deal for us,” Emmett admits. “We’re very aware that being partners with Hasbro is a big moment for our company.” Emmett and Furla’s relationship with Hasbro began more than a year ago, when the producers were introduced to the toymaker by their agent and WME co-CEO Ari Emanuel. The talent agency reps Hasbro’s entertainment deals. “It took many months to get to a place where Hasbro felt they could trust us. It was a big deal for them to take a leap of faith,Bob MacKinnon Ready To Embrace History & Culture o,” Emmett says. “They’re a big corporate company. They’re very protective of their brands. They don’t just hand off their brands to anybody and say good luck. They have a lot at stake and a lot of money invested in these brands. They do a lot of due diligence. They’re very smart. They wanted to know who George and I were. We were definitely being interviewed through the entire process.” Monopoly, Hungry Hungry Hippos and Action Man (pictured) were chosen as the first projects “because there’s not a lot of Hasbro properties available,” Emmett says. Most of the studios already own the more high-profile projects, including “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe,” set up at Paramount. “Candy Land” is set up at Sony, with Adam Sandler attached to produce. Stretch Armstrong, Ouija and Clue are still up for grabs, after being set up at Universal. So far so good. “The creative relationship has been a really magical experience,” Emmett says. “They’re really fun to work with. They know their business and it’s amazing to get all the intel they give you about the brand. We discuss everything together. No one does anything without the other. “These are very high-profile brands and the most high-profile titles we’ve ever had,” Emmett says. “Who knows if we’ll ever have another brand that big.”</html>

Burning Man- Building a city from the dust up

<html>As Burning Man has grown by the tens of thousands since it first came to Nevada in 1991, organizers have been forced to create services and structure for Black Rock City to support the population, which today mirrors the size of Davis,Sex & Relationships, Calif.For this year?s event, which ended Monday, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management granted the organization a four-year permit with a population cap of 68,000, an increase of more than 7,000 people from 2012.The Burning Man Organization, which builds and maintains the city?s infrastructure, reflects each year on the issues they encountered during the event in order to further develop the city. Organizers said that as soon as one event ends, planning for the next begins, and a large part of improving the city for 2014 is addressing issues from this year?s event.The infrastructure of the city included more than 30 main roads and 317 intersections, emergency medical services, law enforcement, a power grid and city services such as the Department of Mutant Vehicles for Burners to register their art cars.There were also post offices, three radio stations, an airport, a shuttle bus into Empire, Nev., for supplies and the new Burner Express that brought community members in from San Francisco and Reno.Lisa Wilson said that before she came to the playa last week, she Googled ?Burning Man? and ?post office? and was surprised to find out that the city had one. She said friends and family sent her a stack of postcards and a package containing snacks,2013 ATS Coupe Returns to Cadillac’s Roots, socks and popcorn.?When I found the post office online, I thought, ?No way, it?s like a real city,? ? Wilson said. ?It?s my first year here and it?s been awesome and really positive.?Meanwhile, Burning Man founder Larry Harvey said Saturday that working with law enforcement and the local and federal governments throughout the history of Burning Man have given organizers the license to build a civilization in the desert. He said it is an ongoing conversation with the authorities, but they have a common general concern with public safety.(Page 2 of 3)
?There is more spontaneous expression here than any other community in this country,? Harvey said. ?There is order that allows that phenomena.?Organizing a cityThere were many forces working behind the scenes, too.For starters,Florida Gators- University of Florida Gator news, stats, schedules, photos and more, members of the Black Rock City?s Department of Public Works were the first and last people on the playa. They mapped and built the city, which formed a semi-circle around the 40-foot-tall wooden Burning Man at its center.The DPW also cleared the playa of any trash and debris when the event ended.And much like any other city, Black Rock City also provided medical and emergency services for its citizens through the Rampart Hospital and Emergency Medical Services, which has served Black Rock City for three years. Services within the hospital are free.The hospital had more than 300 temporary employees, ranging from triage staff to physicians. It functioned as a full hospital and saw up to 400 patients a day, said Louis Mendiola, the deputy hospital operations chief for the hospital.?It operates much like a hospital would in a Third World country,? Mendiola said. ?We?ve seen about 1,500 patients since we opened.?We are processing what the busiest ERs in the country see daily.?In addition to air-conditioned tents for urgent care patients, Rampart had lab and X-ray services, sterile mobile areas for suturing,Md. General Assembly races- September update on ca, an ultrasound machine, a limited pharmacy and seven ambulances staffed with a paramedic. Mendiola said some common ailments seen are dehydration, heat stroke, lacerations, broken bones, substance overdoses and ?playa foot,? a condition that occurs from walking barefoot on the alkali dirt.Some patients are moved from urgent care to the long-term tent or are transported out of the event if the situation is serious enough.And to the south of the city was a 5,280-foot runway for the FAA-recognized Black Rock City Airport for private aircraft.The airport offered ample space for planes and helicopters and camping for pilots. It operated without a control tower or night runway lighting. In addition, the airport serviced skydiving, gliding and sky tours of the city.(Page 3 of 3)
Free market economyBecause Burning Man is commerce free, meaning no one bought or sold anything except ice and coffee, community services were created by the participants.At Black Rock Bakery, Chef Dave Weidman created a variety of fresh baked goods for his fellow citizens, including cheesecake and molten chocolate cake.The bakery had been operating at Burning Man for three years with two ovens, fryers and two refrigerators.It also featured a pump-fed water system for cleaning and sanitation. In order to provide food service for more than 125 people within Black Rock City, the operation required a temporary food service permit from the Nevada State Health Division.?We have massive lines,? Weidman said. ?It?s been a fun and exciting process. We have brought liquid nitrogen out this year, so I?ve been making a great banana fosters ice cream.?As a service to the city and to meet fellow Black Rock City citizens throughout the week, 18-year participant Heidi Oleson said she has been delivering the city?s publication, the BRC Weekly, to neighborhoods for the past five years.She said the city is all about mass contribution by its participants.?Most of the people that come out here have fabulous camps, create artwork that is extraordinary, and very few of them are funded,? Oleson said. ?Not only do they think of it, they design it, build it and take it apart to get it out here then put it up to withstand 70 mph winds,Cleveland Indians Chris Perez Guilty of Having Pot, and then they take it back down, and it?s all for my pleasure.?

One Direction and a new direction for parenting with tech

<html>28 percent of cell owners own an Android; 25 percent own an iPhone; 4 percent own a Blackberry

34 percent of American adults own a tablet computer

Our kids are learning in new ways; interacting with information differently; and communicating in ways that are both good and bad. They are growing up in an increasingly wired world,The Top Six Free Agents Who Played In The NBA D, and how to act responsibly in that world is now added to a parent's list of duties. It's not as bad as it sounds. When the Arab Spring protests swept across the Middle East, I found myself trying to consume as much information as possible from a wide variety of sources. I flipped between CNN and MSNBC on television and had a variety of web sites open on my laptop, including a feed of Al Jazeera's live broadcast. When my son (now 15) asked what I was doing, I had the opportunity to show him the differences between CNN's reporting viewpoints and those of Al Jazeera. It was a pretty cool teaching moment that was nonexistent when I was his age. But a whole host of new parenting issues come with what seems like daily changes in technology. Technology has produced a new set of concerns for parents including: privacy; sexting; sharing without permission; viral sharing; costs of devices,D. Rose Begins Promo Tour in Asia, programs and apps; pedophiles; cyberbullying; peer pressure ... it's a long list. At the same time,Cowboys Corner- Trader Jerry Jones at it again- Cowboys deal TE Dante Rosario to, many of the new apps, devices and tools coming out offer tremendous learning opportunities for our children.

We don't pretend to have all the answers but we hope we can have an ongoing conversation aimed at managing the wild world that lives at the intersection of parenting and technology.

British comedian John Oliver stepped in, receiving strong reviews.The show's original host was welcomed back in an extended skit with Oliver and Stephen Colbert,Son Accused of Killing Mother Outside Church, who tried to bring back the old Stewart after Oliver mock-worried that "the Middle East has changed him."Back at his desk, Stewart beckoned the camera close to whisper to his audience: "I've missed you so much. You don't know what it's like in the real world. Nobody applauds every stupid [expletive] thing that you do."Stewart played a tape of Barack Obama urging military action against Syria because of last month's poison gas attack."America taking military action against a Middle East regime,Die Björn Werner Kolumne- -Madden war ein großes D," Stewart said. "It's like I never left."After showing the secretary of state,Top Cop- Chicago Fighting Perception as Murder Capital, John Kerry, refer to "signatures of sarin gas" in the attack, Stewart launched into a mock commercial for "Signature of Sarin" perfume."I came back to a dark, dark place," he said.He played news network tape of various pundits saying that military action against Syria is necessary because the US would look weak without doing it."Oh, right,The final preseason game and my final roster.," he said. "We have to bomb Syria because we're in the seventh grade."There were no actors pushing projects for Stewart's first guest during his return. He conducted an interview with the head of the United Nations relief effort in Jordan, taking care of refugees from Syria that have now exceeded 2 million.</html>

'I did it all on my own'- Calif. undocumented students get f

<html>7hoursago'I did it all on my own': Calif. undocumented students get first grantsAt the beginning of 2013, the second part of the California Dream Act took effect, allowing undocumented students who qualify for in-state tuition to apply for state-funded financial aid. This fall, 7,218 undocumented students in California have received Cal Grants from the state totaling $31 million. NBC's Katy Tur Reports.By Julia Deng and Steven Louie, NBC NewsFor the first time in California's history, citizenship is not a prerequisite for state-funded financial aid. Undocumented students in California became eligible for public funding beginning this year, following the passage of Assembly Bill 131 in 2011. It functions as the second half of the California Dream Act and opens the door for undocumented students to receive Cal Grants, Chafee Grants, community college fee waivers and other state institutional grants this fall.Opponents call this an open-ended entitlement. These critics say the bill will incentivize more undocumented minors and their parents to come to the U.S. illegally. Others argue an influx of undocumented students receiving state aid at California's public colleges and universities will put more strain on the state's coffers. But that controversy has not stemmed the flow of financial aid applications.More than 29,000 undocumented students (both incoming college freshmen and first-year transfers from community colleges) submitted the new California Dream Act Application this year. Of those, 7,218 were awarded Cal Grants for the 2013-2014 school year. Learn more about four of those recipients below.Angelica Vargas
University of California, Berkeley Angelica VargasAngelica Vargas, 18, maintained a 4.0 GPA through all of middle school and high school, but almost gave up on her dream of attending the University of California, Berkeley because she was undocumented.Vargas came to the United States with her parents, factory workers from Mexico, as a 13-month-old. Even though she "grew up feeling American, wearing the same clothes, speaking the same language,Nach Niederlage gegen Spanien- Tony Parker fit für Europame, watching the same cartoons, saying the same pledge of allegiance," she missed out on the typical American high school experience."When friends would ask me why I wasn't driving, I would lie and say I was afraid even though I was yearning to be behind the wheel," said Vargas. "I also backed out of school trips to Spain and our graduation trip to Hawaii because I knew I couldn't go near an airport."The biggest challenge came when she began applying to colleges. Vargas couldn't apply to many scholarships and financial aid programs, and had to rely on fee waivers to take her standardized tests and AP exams. She said she "cried hysterically and jumped for joy at the same time" when she found out that she had been awarded a Cal Grant. The $12,000 award money -- the highest possible amount a student can earn -- will fund her education at UC Berkeley, where Vargas plans to major in psychology or education."I want to be a doctor or a counselor or a principal in an elementary school, so I can give back to the community that supported me, she said. Gabriela Sandoval
California State University, Northridge Gabriela Sandoval, 18, made it through the ups and downs of high school on her own, without parents or documents.Gabriela SandovalThe Monroe High School senior has lived apart from her mother, a housekeeper who lives with the family she works for, since moving to the United States from El Salvador in 2008. "It was especially hard being on my own because I thought being undocumented would hold me back from college," said Sandoval. "But I did it all on my own. I didn't have my mom filling out my college applications or helping me apply for the Cal Grant. It was all on me."This fall,NBA free agency 2013- Fenerbahçe offers Hedo Türkoğlu a contract, according to, she will attend California State University, Northridge as a Cal Grant recipient. Her mother may not have had a daily presence in her life, but Sandoval still considers her a source of inspiration. She pushed herself to excel academically because she looks forward to the day she'll be successful enough to support them both. That was where I got the strength to pursue my education, said Sandoval. "I just want that mom-and-daughter experience that I didn't get to have."She also wants other teenagers to have the kind of support network she found through teachers, advisers and mentors at school. Sandoval plans to major in psychology and one day work at a juvenile hall."I want to help people who don't have support from their parents," she said. Grace Seo
University of California, BerkeleyGrace Seo, 21, chose community college and put her dreams on hold for two years -- after her parents left South Korea and put their lives on hold for a decade.Grace Seo"They came to the United States to study when I was 11, but then they saw the potential in investing in me," said Seo. "So now, instead of my parents studying, I'm getting an education and they're working to support me."Still, the money they made wasn't enough to cover tuition at a four-year university; and Seo's status as an undocumented student meant she didn't qualify for most grants and scholarships when she graduated from high school in 2010. This was a tough reality for her to face, after growing up believing anything is possible "as long as you work hard." She worked harder than most of her peers, but in the end, going to one of her top-choice colleges simply wasn't possible."There was just no way to afford it," said Seo. "I get really bitter sometimes. I worked so hard to be here, and to think that I can't be here because of my financial situation kind of breaks my heart."It was even harder on her parents,Ohio man who threatened police holds 'idiot' sign, who encouraged her to apply to competitive schools and promised they would "do whatever it takes to cover tuition." They researched every possible loan option, but ultimately enrolled Seo a local community college. She didn't lose her drive and, with the help of a Cal Grant, was able to transfer to Berkeley this year."If anything, I think [undocumented students] work harder -- we have a lot to contribute," she said. Rossmeri Ramirez
California State University, Sacramento Rossmeri RamirezRossmeri Ramirez, 17, felt like one in a million as she struggled through the college application process as an undocumented student. During her senior year at Sequoia High School in Redwood City, she found herself looking for answers to questions she didn t quite know how to ask: How do we apply to college? How do we get financial aid? Do we need different paperwork? What options do we have?

Ramirez found the guidance she needed through her school's Dream Club, a support group for immigrant students, but that wasn t the first time she was made painfully aware of her situation as a part of that we.

I always knew I was undocumented, said Ramirez. It really hit me when I applied for my first job and got denied because I didn t have a social [security card]. Just one little piece of paper proving you're American made the whole difference. Although Ramirez has lived in the United States for 13 years and "feels completely American," not having that "one little piece of paper" also prevented her from accepting internships, getting a driver's license and going to her dream college. She crossed the University of Chicago off her list and "didn't even bother applying" because she knew she wouldn't qualify for financial aid from the federal government."I was pretty determined and had the grades," she said. "I fell in love with UChicago and it was always a goal of mine to go to there. But when it came down to it, I had to be realistic. I ruled out all out-of-state schools because I knew I wouldn't get good funding."Ramirez didn't know if she would be able to go to any four-year university -- even one in California. Relief came in the form of state funding when she discovered she had been awarded a Cal Grant. She will attend California State University, Sacramento this fall,Bill Barnwell on the NFL teams that will be worse in 2013, where she plans to major in Political Science and carve out a career in immigration policy reform -- a path she "couldn't have chosen" without the California Dream Act."My dreams are coming true and my goals are finally coming together," she said.

+When the Arab Spring protests swept across the Middle East, I found myself trying to consume as much information as possible from a wide variety of sources. I flipped between CNN and MSNBC on television and had a variety of web sites open on my laptop, including a feed of Al Jazeera's live broadcast. When my son (now 15) asked what I was doing, I had the opportunity to show him the differences between CNN's reporting viewpoints and those of Al Jazeera. It was a pretty cool teaching moment that was nonexistent when I was his age.
+But a whole host of new parenting issues come with what seems like daily changes in technology.

British comedian John Oliver stepped in, receiving strong reviews.The show's original host was welcomed back in an extended skit with Oliver and Stephen Colbert,[http://suph.sk/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=220389 Son Accused of Killing Mother Outside Church], who tried to bring back the old Stewart after Oliver mock-worried that "the Middle East has changed him."Back at his desk, Stewart beckoned the camera close to whisper to his audience: "I've missed you so much. You don't know what it's like in the real world. Nobody applauds every stupid [expletive] thing that you do."Stewart played a tape of Barack Obama urging military action against Syria because of last month's poison gas attack."America taking military action against a Middle East regime,[http://lcp1.he1248.vps.webenabled.net/node/25137/add-responder Die Björn Werner Kolumne- -Madden war ein großes D]," Stewart said.

+<html>7hoursago'I did it all on my own': Calif. undocumented students get first grantsAt the beginning of 2013, the second part of the California Dream Act took effect, allowing undocumented students who qualify for in-state tuition to apply for state-funded financial aid. This fall, 7,218 undocumented students in California have received Cal Grants from the state totaling $31 million. NBC's Katy Tur Reports.By Julia Deng and Steven Louie, NBC NewsFor the first time in California's history, citizenship is not a prerequisite for state-funded financial aid. Undocumented students in California became eligible for public funding beginning this year, following the passage of Assembly Bill 131 in 2011. It functions as the second half of the California Dream Act and opens the door for undocumented students to receive Cal Grants, Chafee Grants, community college fee waivers and other state institutional grants this fall.Opponents call this an open-ended entitlement. These critics say the bill will incentivize more undocumented minors and their parents to come to the U.S. illegally. Others argue an influx of undocumented students receiving state aid at California's public colleges and universities will put more strain on the state's coffers.&nbsp;But that controversy has not stemmed the flow of financial aid applications.More than 29,000 undocumented students (both incoming college freshmen and first-year transfers from community colleges) submitted the new California Dream Act Application this year. Of those, 7,218 were awarded Cal Grants for the 2013-2014 school year. Learn more about four of those recipients below.Angelica Vargas<br>University of California, Berkeley&nbsp;Angelica VargasAngelica Vargas, 18, maintained a 4.0 GPA through all of middle school and high school, but almost gave up on her dream of attending the University of California, Berkeley because she was undocumented.Vargas came to the United States with her parents, factory workers from Mexico, as a 13-month-old. Even though she "grew up feeling American, wearing the same clothes, speaking the same language,[http://www.chinazism.org/wiki/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Rovahomoimi#Nach_Niederlage_gegen_Spanien-_Tony_Parker_fit_f.C3.BCr_Europame Nach Niederlage gegen Spanien- Tony Parker fit für Europame], watching the same cartoons, saying the same pledge of allegiance," she missed out on the typical American high school experience."When friends would ask me why I wasn't driving, I would lie and say I was afraid even though I was yearning to be behind the wheel," said Vargas. "I also backed out of school trips to Spain and our graduation trip to Hawaii because I knew I couldn't go near an airport."The biggest challenge came when she began applying to colleges. Vargas couldn't apply to many scholarships and financial aid programs, and had to rely on fee waivers to take her standardized tests and AP exams. She said she "cried hysterically and jumped for joy at the same time" when she found out that she had been awarded a Cal Grant. The $12,000 award money -- the highest possible amount a student can earn -- will fund her education at UC Berkeley, where Vargas plans to major in psychology or education."I want to be a doctor or a counselor or a principal in an elementary school, so I can give back to the community that supported me, she said.&nbsp;Gabriela Sandoval<br>California State University, Northridge&nbsp;Gabriela Sandoval, 18, made it through the ups and downs of high school on her own, without parents or documents.Gabriela SandovalThe Monroe High School senior has lived apart from her mother, a housekeeper who lives with the family she works for, since moving to the United States from El Salvador in 2008.&nbsp;"It was especially hard being on my own because I thought being undocumented would hold me back from college," said Sandoval. "But I did it all on my own. I didn't have my mom filling out my college applications or helping me apply for the Cal Grant. It was all on me."This fall,[http://www.gxshxny.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=833362&fromuid=18462 NBA free agency 2013- Fenerbahçe offers Hedo Türkoğlu a contract, according to], she will attend California State University, Northridge as a Cal Grant recipient. Her mother may not have had a daily presence in her life, but Sandoval still considers her a source of inspiration. She pushed herself to excel academically because she looks forward to the day she'll be successful enough to support them both. That was where I got the strength to pursue my education, said Sandoval. "I just want that mom-and-daughter experience that I didn't get to have."She also wants other teenagers to have the kind of support network she found through teachers, advisers and mentors at school. Sandoval plans to major in psychology and one day work at a juvenile hall."I want to help people who don't have support from their parents," she said.&nbsp;Grace Seo<br>University of California, BerkeleyGrace Seo, 21, chose community college and put her dreams on hold for two years -- after her parents left South Korea and put their lives on hold for a decade.Grace Seo"They came to the United States to study when I was 11, but then they saw the potential in investing in me," said Seo. "So now, instead of my parents studying, I'm getting an education and they're working to support me."Still, the money they made wasn't enough to cover tuition at a four-year university; and Seo's status as an undocumented student meant she didn't qualify for most grants and scholarships when she graduated from high school in 2010. This was a tough reality for her to face, after growing up believing anything is possible "as long as you work hard." She worked harder than most of her peers, but in the end, going to one of her top-choice colleges simply wasn't possible."There was just no way to afford it," said Seo. "I get really bitter sometimes. I worked so hard to be here, and to think that I can't be here because of my financial situation kind of breaks my heart."It was even harder on her parents,[http://www.789poker.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=522562 Ohio man who threatened police holds 'idiot' sign], who encouraged her to apply to competitive schools and promised they would "do whatever it takes to cover tuition." They researched every possible loan option, but ultimately enrolled Seo a local community college. She didn't lose her drive and, with the help of a Cal Grant, was able to transfer to Berkeley this year."If anything, I think [undocumented students] work harder -- we have a lot to contribute," she said.&nbsp;Rossmeri Ramirez<br>California State University, Sacramento&nbsp;Rossmeri RamirezRossmeri Ramirez, 17, felt like one in a million as she struggled through the college application process as an undocumented student. During her senior year at Sequoia High School in Redwood City, she found herself looking for answers to questions she didn t quite know how to ask: How do we apply to college? How do we get financial aid? Do we need different paperwork? What options do we have? <br> &nbsp;<br> Ramirez found the guidance she needed through her school's Dream Club, a support group for immigrant students, but that wasn t the first time she was made painfully aware of her situation as a part of that we. <br> &nbsp;<br> I always knew I was undocumented, said Ramirez. It really hit me when I applied for my first job and got denied because I didn t have a social [security card]. Just one little piece of paper proving you're American made the whole difference. Although Ramirez has lived in the United States for 13 years and "feels completely American," not having that "one little piece of paper" also prevented her from accepting internships, getting a driver's license and going to her dream college. She crossed the University of Chicago off her list and "didn't even bother applying" because she knew she wouldn't qualify for financial aid from the federal government."I was pretty determined and had the grades," she said. "I fell in love with UChicago and it was always a goal of mine to go to there. But when it came down to it, I had to be realistic. I ruled out all out-of-state schools because I knew I wouldn't get good funding."Ramirez didn't know if she would be able to go to any four-year university -- even one in California. Relief came in the form of state funding when she discovered she had been awarded a Cal Grant. She will attend California State University, Sacramento this fall,[http://www.coronadowc.com/node/84#comment-18223301 Bill Barnwell on the NFL teams that will be worse in 2013], where she plans to major in Political Science and carve out a career in immigration policy reform -- a path she "couldn't have chosen" without the California Dream Act."My dreams are coming true and my goals are finally coming together," she said.&nbsp;Explore related topics: , , , , , , ,[http://www.yokota-inet.jp/media/index.php/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Rovahomoimi#The_World.27s_End-_Exclusive_Video_Interview The World's End- Exclusive Video Interview],
