Happy New Year! I hope everyone's 2017 is off to a great start. I know that many of us are facing significant challenges in the not so distant future (aka January 20th), but I'm confident that we can get through anything together, and I'm happy to have this affirming blog site where we can all escape to share our love of words.
Speaking of words, let's talk audio books. The lesfic offerings of audio book titles seems to have grown exponentially in the last year and I'm curious – have you given them a listen?Love them, hate them or something in-between? Three of my titles have been produced as audio books and I must admit I'm still not used to hearing someone else read the words I wrote, but I've gotten good feedback from readers who like to get their fix by listening in.
Leave a comment below about audio books or anything else you have a mind to say by Friday, January 6th and I'll draw three names. The winners can pick any one of my three audio titles, Reasonable Doubt, Lay Down the Law, or Courtship:

With leftover brisket, the 2004 Darting Durkheimer Michelsberg Kabinett
(Pfalz). For a Mosel kind of guy like me, this was awfully sweet and
heavy for a kabinett. Still, there was really nice white peach and
apple fruit, with some smoke and slate on the finish. Not bad, and good
QPR. But next time I'll pair as if it were a heavier Spatlese. B/B+
Friday I met Betsy in the city, and took her to The Orchard on the
Lower East Side. Nice restaurant offering free corkage while they await
their license; I had enjoyed food at a 1986 Bordeaux horizontal but
felt something along the lines of Pinot Noir or Nebbiolo might fare
better with the fare. So I carried along a 2000 Domaine de Courcel
"Rugiens" Pommard 1er Cru (I also had a white Burgundy in case Betsy
preferred maybe fish, but it wasn't needed). The red Burgundy was a
good match with the duck confit flatbread, the tuna tartare, and my
game hen, ok with Betsy's steak , and we stuck with water for the
lobster empanadas. Medium-bodied, light tannins, good cherry fruit with
a little spice. With time more of a black cherry note on the fruit, and
some distinct loamy earth and mineral notes. Really nice wine, my only
concern is that the last glass - after a very leisurely meal- seemed a
bit fragile, I think I'll drink up other soon rather than cellar. A-/B+
With some yellowfin tuna steaks I marinated in lemon and soy sauce,
asparagus, and grilled potato slices we used the 2004 Produttori del
Barbaresco Langhe Nebbiolo to inaugurate Eating on Patio season. A bit
thin and acidic on opening, it put on some flesh and became a nice
cherry driven lighter Nebbiolo. Some floral notes, but no darker tones
such as the tar you can get from Barolo. Not as good a match as I had
hoped, but an enjoyable wine, and about as good as you're going to get
in $15 Nebbiolo. B
Over a couple of nights, the 2004 Thierry & Pascal Matrot Bourgogne
Blanc. Good acidity, lemon fruit. Not exciting, but a pretty pleasant
$11 white (and screwcapped, so no TCA worries). B
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

Editor's note: Art of Movement is CNN's monthly show exploring the latest innovations in art, culture, science and technology.
London, UK (CNN) -- Alina Cojocaru had been one of the Royal Ballet's biggest draws for half a decade by the time her career crashed to a halt.
The minute Prima Ballerina -- praised as "a dancer of seeming fragility, delicacy and radiance" by The New York Times -- was rehearsing in 2008, when she was flipped by her partner, skewed awkwardly and slammed to earth.
She suffered severe whiplash and a prolapsed disc in her spine and was forced to rest for over a year. At 25, doctors told her she would need surgery, and would never dance at the highest level again.
The battle
Behind ballet's graceful pirouettes are grueling feats of training and endurance that push dancer's bodies to their extremes.
Rest is a rare luxury. Some dancers perform 200 to 250 days a year, leaving just over 100 days to train and recover. Rehearsals can require 10 hours a day on the floor.
It is hardly surprising that critics often refer to dancers -- especially the hard-worked young apprentices in the corps -- as the "foot soldiers" of ballet.
Four out of five will suffer a severe injury during the course of their dancing career -- and two out of those four will never fully recover.
Injuries, more often than not, are the result of fatigue and repeated strain on muscles and joints, rather than unpredictable accidents. Even in cases like Cojocaru's, fatigue can be the root of the disaster -- as one exhausted dancer's lapse in concentration often translates into another dancer's injury.
Physiotherapy for recovering dancers is well entrenched -- and organizations such as the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science and the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science have done a lot to advance knowledge of health issues among the big ballet companies and schools that feed them. But, beyond that, dancers benefit from few of the scientific breakthroughs that have so improved the safety record of their athletic counterparts on the sports field.
Ballet science
Patrick Rump is the 33-year-old former karate champion fighting to change all that.
Rump -- a broad-chested, broadly smiling German -- is the subject of "Dance, Sports Science and Patrick Rump," a new short documentary produced by Lady Bernstein and directed by Nigel Wattis.
First screened at the Prix de Lausanne ballet competition in February, in the film Rump buzzes with enthusiasm as he documents his work rehabilitating leading dancers -- including world-famous principals Mathias Heymann and Federico Bonelli, and the English National Ballet's artistic director Tamara Rojo -- and his light-handed attempts to start a revolution in dance health.
The Rump approach is to consider the whole picture -- compiling data to track everything: from what the dancer eats and how much weight they can lift, to the angle of their leg as they glide through the air.
"It's actually sports sciences," he says, emphasizing the plural.
"It's, for example: biomechanics, which is kind of like physics for the body. It's anatomy, physiology. It's about training science, movement and exercise science, psychology, nutrition..." he goes on.
In practice, this means watching each dancer intimately and building a computer profile of their performance based on multitude of different measures.
A dancer might be videoed as he or she prepares to leap -- recorded in slow motion, with two lasers beaming data back to a laptop on height jumped, time taken to get off the ground, and more.
When Rump opens up his laptop screen, grid-squares line up with a young dancer's arrow-straight right leg, and betray a miniature kink in the left. The data readouts show he is jumping 5cm less than he was before injury.
Rump takes this visual micro-analysis and adds dietary guidance, strength and stamina-building weight training, and scheduled recovery periods, all of which he imported from his knowledge of the world of sport. This way, he begins to build a personalized regime capable of restoring dancers from injury, and -- he hopes -- keeping them healthy when they recover.
When asked if his methods have face resistance from those in the ballet world, his usual smiling face drops momentarily, and he exhales:
"Yeah, a lot."
He's used to hearing the complaint from ballet company directors that (he recalls) "they are sports and we are art, and it doesn't go together."
Ballet instructors are often reluctant to see their dancers head into the weight room fearing that they will develop bulging muscles and lose the characteristically spindly look, traditionally considered ideal.
And it has been harder still to break the ingrained code of silence that exists among dancers -- where fierce competition ensures they often conceal injury or weakness for fear of missing out on the best roles.
"At first, they thought we were the enemy!" says Rump with a chuckle.
"This part where we said: 'Let's have regular tests, where we can clearly see: okay, is there something wrong? Is there weakness? Is there an imbalance between left and right, for example?'
"That scared them a lot...," he says, adding that many feared he would feed information back to directors about dancers' hidden frailties.
"You ask them about nutrition -- and in ballet there are problems with eating disorders -- and people get very scared and say 'I don't want to tell you about that.'
"They are not used to that process, because for years it has been [kept] very, very quiet. "
When Rump was recruited to work with Alina Cojocaru, he set about providing a speedy response to critics' fears.
Knowing nothing about the dancer, he searched YouTube for videos:
"Just on what I saw on the video, I asked her a few questions and asked her 'Could it be that there's an underlying problem here and there," he says, pointing to two spots.
"Nobody I ever told that, [nobody] knew!" she said. "I've had that for quite a while and I tried to cover it."
Guided by Rump, Cojocaru recovered from surgery and addressed the underlying issues -- defying doctors' predictions and returning to the stage within six months. Of her comeback performance, the New York Times wrote: "Ms. Cojocaru's "Giselle" was one of the great dance renditions of our time..."
By this point, many of the big companies were won over -- with the Forsythe Company, Royal Ballet, English National Ballet, and others leading the way.
Rump now plans to spread his approach from ballet companies, to dance schools and beyond by compiling GJUUM -- a diverse team of sports scientists who will offer his all-round approach.
As Cojocaru testifies, it will be a move welcomed by dancers:
"To be on stage and not feel pain... it's a wonderful, wonderful miracle," she says.
"The enjoyment of dancers is going to be so much higher -- and the competition for me will be so much bigger!"

Metric's fifth studio album Synthetica has been slipped up online (it is legit, shared by the bands official SoundCloud) for you to stream ahead of its release on June 12th...
To pre-order your copy of Synthetica (which is released on June 12th 2012) and to find out more about live dates and the like, visit http://www.ilovemetric.com.
In case you missed it... A few weeks ago, DiS' editor caught up with Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric to discuss, and took BeatCast along to capture the chat.
This conversation includes talk of the writing of the album, Jimmy's seven "synth symphonies", a photograph which inspired the album, rock'n'roll's existential crisis, whether 'protest music is dead', but the bulk of the conversation swarms around the idea of authenticity in an age of Instagram and Urban Outfitters.

You may have read reports claiming that Samsung is taking over in the smartphone wars, but according to a new report, the iPhone 5 is still Britain's most popular smartphone.
And that's not even all iPhones combined, according to the research from uSwitch, the iPhone 5 is in first place, followed by iPhone 4S in second position.
While the rest of the chart is dominated by Samsung, which has five handsets in the top ten, it's significant that the iPhone 5 is still the best seller.
It's also the third month in a row that this has been the case. As uSwitch puts it: "Despite high rankings from pre-orders, Samsung's Galaxy S4 fails to improve ranking since April launch."
In a press release announcing the figures, uSwitch's Ernest Doku said: "While the Galaxy S4 has been an unmitigated success on a global scale, price drops and special offers barely a month after launch show that the heavily-hyped device has needed a bit more oomph to make waves in the UK market."
The top handsets for May 2013 were:
Apple iPhone 5 (16GB) - iOSApple iPhone 4S (16GB) - iOSSamsung Galaxy S4 (16GB) - AndroidApple iPhone 4 8GB - iOS (up two places)Samsung Galaxy S3 (16GB) - AndroidHTC One Silver - AndroidSony XPERIA Z - AndroidSamsung Galaxy Ace - AndroidSamsung Galaxy Note 2 - AndroidSamsung Galaxy S2 - Android
This data backs up a report that suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S4 was not hurting iPhone sales in the US.
Analyst firm Detwiler Fenton claims that iPhone sales in North America "remain resilient" and predicts that Apple will sell thirty million iPhones during the quarter that ends in June, writes Barrons.
It should be noted that even if Samsung does sell more phones than Apple, Samsung phones are cheaper, so it doesn't necessarily follow that the company will make more profits.
500 million registered users
Another area where Apple is winning is the number of user accounts it has. According to Morgan Stanley data, Apple has an account base of 500 million users registered (along with their credit card details).
The number of registered users grew by 55% in 2012, according to Morgan Stanley's data.
Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty expects that the number of user accounts will hit 600 million this year.
Facebook is the only other company to have more user accounts, as of 2012, it had 1,056 million user accounts.
By contrast, Amazon had 200 million; mobile games maker Zynga had 180 million; Paypal had 123; and eBay had 112 million registered users.
The good news for Apple is that it generates $329 per user. More than competitors Amazon ($305 per user) and eBay ($125 per user).
Huberty suggests that should Apple introduce an iRadio service, as it is widely expected to do at WWDC, it could generate as much as $1.1 billion in revenue per year by only getting 50% of its already registered users to sign up for the service.
Huberty also hints at the increased revenue possibilities if the iAd service was extended to iRadio, notes Apple Insider in its report.
£1 billion App Store profits per year
Another area where Apple is making money thanks to its extensive user base is the App Store. The iOS App Store makes £1 billion in profits for Apple every year, according to Elephant Analytics estimates.
This figure is based on the suggestion by Apple in its most recent financial results conference call that it had paid developers $9 billion for 45 billion app downloads. The analysts, writing on Seeking Alpha, suggest that this indicates that an average of $0.20 is paid to each developer per download and since developers get 70% of total app revenues, the average revenue per app download for Apple (who gets the other 30%) would be $0.0857. The report goes on to note that not all apps have a cost associated with them, but according to the report, 71% of revenue comes from in-app purchases inside free apps.
On the assumption that Apple makes on average $0.0857 per app, and has sold 50 billion apps, that would suggest it had made $4.285 billon over the years from iOS app sales.

Blue Jays' goal is to get back to .500
SEATTLE -- The Blue Jays have a simple goal for the remainder of the season.
"We got to get back to .500," manager John Gibbons said before Wednesday's 9-7 loss to the Mariners. "We want to get there. I think that's important. It's really come to a point, you just win as many games as you can. Win the day and see what happens."
Toronto entered Wednesday on a three-game winning streak, its longest since putting together 11 straight victories June 11-23. Since then, the Blue Jays (53-61) have played sub-.500 baseball.
"We're playing pretty good right now," Gibbons said after Tuesday's win in Seattle. "We had the comeback win in Anaheim, and then beat two of the better ones in baseball, [Hisashi] Iwakuma last night and [Felix Hernandez] tonight. It's been an up-and-down season. We go out there every day and try to play a good game. When we do, we usually get pretty results."

Do More with WinZip at Home
New to Zip Files? See our WinZip Basic Information page to learn more.
Protect Your Data!
These days, most people have software to protect their computer from viruses and spyware. But what about a hard drive crash? Or fire, water damage or theft? Have you ever deleted an important file by accident? Do your files contain personal information about your identity?
The reality is, these threats are just as real, as serious and as devastating (if not more so) as most viruses, yet studies show that very few home users back up their files on a regular basis or protect personal information that should remain confidential. WinZip can help by making it easy to back up your important data on CD/DVD, external drive or FTP location. And, you can put confidential files in an encrypted Zip file to protect them no matter where or how they are stored or sent.
Protect Your Confidential Files
If you have files or data backups that contain personal information, WinZip can encrypt them with the same AES encryption method approved for use by the US government. That means that you can zip or back up important data on your hard drive to CD/DVD or external drive with the peace of mind that unauthorized people can't unlock those files.
Protect Your Data from Loss with Easy, Automatic Backups
If you select WinZip Pro you'll love our Job Wizard that handles predefined data backup jobs and allows you to create custom zip jobs that run automatically and even email or FTP the resulting Zip file to a specified recipient. It's a HUGE time saver and lets you back up your data regularly without having to think about it.
Zip Directly to CDs and DVDs
Also available with WinZip Pro is the ability to zip directly to CDs and DVDs. That means that you can skip a step because there's no need to zip to your hard drive first. Large Zip files will even span multiple disks automatically.
And whether you chose Standard or Pro, you'll have the ability to view all files at-a-glance and drill down quickly thanks to our Explorer-style view. Any Windows Explorer user will feel right at home using this new feature to navigate and organize complex, multi-folder Zip files.
Compress, Manage and Share Your Digital Photos!
WinZip® 20 was designed with digital photo enthusiasts in mind and makes it easier than ever to store, share and manage digital photos efficiently:
Compress Your Photos to Save Disk Space
Each year, you take more digital photos causing your collection of photo files to consume more disk space. The photo compression technology in WinZip compresses JPEG files 20% to 25% without compromising photo quality, photo dimensions, or file integrity.
Zip Digital Photos from Your Camera
The time-saving Zip from Camera Wizard in WinZip Pro makes it easy to transfer and compress photos directly from supported digital cameras* to a new Zip file. The Zip from Camera wizard helps you automatically zip all images or only selected images. For cameras that support orientation tags, WinZip even "auto-rotates" your photos, saving you the steps to manually rotate photos before adding them to a Zip file.
* For cameras that support Windows Image Acquisition Technology.
View and Work with Compressed Photos
The Explorer View in WinZip can display thumbnails of each photo, making it easy to quickly browse or rename them and delete those that you don't want to keep. You can even create folders in the Zip file and then drag and drop photos into them to better organize your collection.
Send Selected Photos
A Zip file has long been a convenient way to package photos and other files before sending them. Now with WinZip, it's easier than ever to share photos. With Send Selected, you select the files to share — any kind of file, not just photos — and attach them to an email as a new Zip file. WinZip Pro users can also upload selected files to an FTP site as a Zip file. For even faster file sharing, users can easily resize selected pictures and attach them to an e-mail as a new Zip file, while leaving the original pictures unchanged.
View Full-sized Photos in a Zip File
The built-in Image Viewer in WinZip Pro lets you view compressed photos as a slide show, rotate, resize, or delete pictures all without extracting them from the Zip package, so you can quickly and efficiently manage and share photos.
Did you think WinZip was free? Many people have this misconception (probably because we offer a free evaluation version), but WinZip has never been free software. So if you plan to use WinZip beyond the evaluation period, please be sure to buy your official license.
Need to upgrade from a previous version of WinZip? Please see our upgrade page for more information about upgrading your current version of WinZip for 50% off the regular list price.
Use Microsoft Outlook? If so, you should also consider WinZip Courier. This useful product will allow you to zip and encrypt outgoing e-mail attachments in one simple step to help you:
- send emails faster;
- protect sensitive data;
- conserve disk space for yourself and your recipient; and
- maximize mailbox capacity

(The Root) — From his Jay-Z-inspired shoulder-dust-off to his McKayla Maroney "not impressed" pose, Barack Obama has shown a remarkable knack for going viral. While most of the highly shareable images and video of the president are generated by fans and critics, he has also carefully cultivated online buzz through appearances including his surprise "Slow Jam the News" skit on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and his "Ask Me Anything Q&A" on Reddit.
The end result — whether it's due to enthusiasm for his historic presidency, or simply the way the timing has coincided with the popularity of social networking — is that he's our first "meme" president. Here are 12 moments that, along with the power of the Internet, have helped earn him that title.
Not Impressed
Pete Souza/The White House
Maroney was none too happy when she failed to win the gold for her vault performance in this summer's Olympic Games, and it showed all over her face. The "not impressed" expression is one that the president would have been well within his rights to make in response to some of his more outrageous critics over the years. So when he put on his best scowl while posing for a photo with the teen gymnast ("I do that face at least once a day," he reportedly told her), the Internet awarded the image a medal for humor. The photo, as Maroney put it, ended up "everywhere."
99 Problems, but …
Via thetugboat.com
In the final 24 hours of President Obama's re-election campaign, Jay-Z delighted supporters at an Ohio rally with a remix of his hit single "99 Problems." "If you're havin' world problems, I feel bad for you son/I got 99 problems, but Mitt ain't one," he rapped. Of course, those lyrics would be even more entertaining coming from the president himself, so it wasn't long before a highly shareable (and explicit) remix, starring Obama, made its way to YouTube.
Most Viral Photo Ever
Pete Souza/White House
The most shared picture in the history of Twitter and most "Liked" photo ever shared on Facebook was taken by a campaign photographer back in August, and chosen on a whim by a young campaign staffer to post at 11:15 on election night, just as the world learned that President Obama would win a second term. The accompanying text was simple: "Four more years." Was it the closed eyes? The warm embrace? The sense of equality? There are plenty of theories, but we're guessing that any picture of the first couple shared at that particular celebratory moment would have been just about as viral.
Romnesia: A New Diagnosis and an Instant Hashtag
Via KnowYourMeme
Forbes called it a "made for social media attack line," and if that's what it was, it worked. President Obama first coined the phrase at a Virginia campaign rally as shorthand for what he said were Mitt Romney's inconsistent positions. Obama's campaign didn't waste any time capitalizing on the term with an "official" definition in a press release ("Romnesia [Rom-nee-zhuh] Noun — a condition affecting Mitt Romney, who has shifted his positions from 'severely conservative' to 'severely kidding' — conveniently forgetting the conservative promises he's made over the past six years that he's been running for president"). And Twitter took it from there. Perhaps thanks in part to all the #Romnesia hashtags, voters didn't forget this criticism of the Republican candidate.
Image of Hope
Shepard Fairey
Can images go viral in hard copy? If so, this one did it. Created by Shepard Fairey, the red, white and blue artwork instantly came to symbolize Barack Obama's presidential campaign. One observer declared that it "acquired the kind of instant recognition of Jim Fitzpatrick's Che Guevara poster, and is surely set to grace T-shirts, coffee mugs and the walls of student bedrooms in the years to come."
Ask Me Anything
White House
President Obama made no secret about his motivation for taking to Reddit, the self-proclaimed "front page of the Internet," for one of its signature "Ask Me Anything" Q&A sessions. "I'm checking in because polls will start closing in this election in just a few hours, and I need you to vote," he said. In 30 minutes the POTUS answered hundreds of questions, and the surge in traffic temporarily locked out users. As a result, the online campaign stop got some unexpected publicity when an image of the president in front of the computer as he conducted the chat got the meme treatment. The text: "My AMA brought down Reddit. Deal with it!"
Slow Jamming the News
The president finished this number with an enthusiastic, "Oh yeah," which is probably also what he said about the chance to pitch his plan for Stafford Loan interest rates to a late-night audience when he appeared in Jimmy Fallon's signature segment. Supporters couldn't wait to share it. Maybe all his speeches should be backed up by the Roots?
Dive-Bar Girl
Via the Daily Beast
After University of Colorado student Madalyn Starkey Instagrammed a picture of herself with President Obama at the Sink dive bar, others were just as excited to share the image of the star-struck supporter — and combine it with different backdrops — as she was to pose with the president (whom she reportedly told, "You smell good").
Same Hair
Pete Souza/The White House
The photo of Jacob Philadelphia spoke at least 1,000 words about the psychological and emotional impact of having an African-American president, and the resonance of that message helped it go viral. When a New York Times piece recounted the story behind the image (the little boy told Obama, "I want to know if my hair is just like yours"), it quickly became the publication's most emailed article.
Sorry It Took So Long
Via underthemountainbunker.com
The celebrations when the president announced that Osama bin Laden had been killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan crossed the political aisle, but they were followed by some much snarkier — and more viral — takes on the victory. The creators of this image couldn't miss the chance to stick it to Birthers, who were questioning the president's very status as an American.
Predicting Joe Biden: Impossible
Via kym-cdm.com
An image overlaid with a little humor about "Uncle Joe's" longtime proclivity for verbal slipups was popular among those familiar with the vice president's infamous and seemingly unpredictable gaffes — from "clean and articulate" all the way to "This is a big f—king deal!"
Brush That Dirt Off
Via YouTube
Then-presidential hopeful Barack Obama gave a nod to Jay-Z's "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" (and his own coolness) at a rally. That was quickly combined with the popular song for an instant viral video. The theme was revived during the 2012 campaign in an Instagram photo from a $40,000-per-head bash that the hip-hop mogul and Beyoncé hosted. "Got some dirt on my shoulder, will you brush it off for me?" read the caption.
Bonus: Knows He's a Meme
Via edgecastcdn.net
Why wouldn't he? He has access to the Internet, after all.

Didn't take long for the reigning Best Club Team In The World to bounce back from an unexpected loss to Getafe over the weekend. Three days, actually. Against patsy Rayo Valllecano.
Rayo surprised Barça with an adventurous approach but failed to take their chances. Alexis, who Barça signed from Udinese in July for a fee that could rise to €38m (£32.5m), lifted his side with a superb individual goal, curling a shot in off the far post. He then pounced on a loose ball to double the lead before Gerard Piqué surged out of defence to set in motion the move which ended with Villa scoring the third.
Messi, the world player of the year, wrapped up the scoring in the 49th minute as Barça enjoyed a La Liga-record 11th consecutive home game without conceding a goal. That run stretches back to April, when Almeria were beaten 3-1. [The Guardian]

A woman who allegedly took $40 for oral sex in the Florida Keys and told an undercover deputy she was "best on Stock Island" was arrested by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
Dorothy Austin, 45, met the undercover deputy on Friday, who told her he was stressed, the sheriff's office said.
As a solution, Austin "offered sex as a de-stressor," a news release from the sheriff's office said.
When the deputy offered $40, Austin said that for "that amount of money would take her time," the sheriff's office said.
After she accepted the cash, Austin was arrested and charged with prostitution.
Stock Island has a population of about 4,000 people.

Legend of Grimrock Dungeon Editor Enters Public Beta
Category: News ArchiveHits: 2026
And a few more details come our way via a press release:
Legend of Grimrock Dungeon Editor Enters Public Beta
Indie developer Almost Human's highly anticipated Dungeon Editor for Legend of Grimrock enters public beta today.
ESPOO, FINLAND - SEPTEMBER 12, 2012. Almost Human, the indie developer "more human than most", is proud to announce that their chart-topping, critically acclaimed dungeon exploration role-playing game, Legend of Grimrock, is about to receive a major update that will enable the gaming community to create their own adventures using a powerful yet easy-to-use toolset. On its last stretches of development, the free toolset enters a public beta testing phase today. To celebrate the launch of the public beta, Almost Human released a new trailer featuring the Dungeon Editor.
A free update to Legend of Grimrock, the Dungeon Editor gives gamers, modders and developers everywhere an access to a powerful graphical editor for building totally new dungeon crawling challenges and adventures. Featuring an intuitive graphical interface, instant in-editor preview, comprehensive modding capabilities, built-in Steam Workshop support and an industry first dungeon name generator, the Dungeon Editor is a powerhouse for creating puzzles, traps and epic battles for other players to solve.
About Legend of Grimrock
Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling role playing game with an old-school heart but a modern execution. A group of prisoners are sentenced to certain death by exiling them to the secluded Mount Grimrock for vile crimes they may or may not have committed. Unbeknownst to their captors, the mountain is riddled with ancient tunnels, dungeons and tombs built by crumbled civilizations long perished now. If they ever wish to see daylight again and reclaim their freedom the ragtag group of prisoners must form a team and descend through the mountain, level by level. The game brings back the old-school challenge with highly tactical real-time combat and grid-based movement, devious hidden switches and secrets as well as deadly traps and horrible monsters. Legend of Grimrock puts an emphasis on puzzles and exploration and the wits and perception of the player are more important tools than even the sharpest of swords could be.

It's only the first weekend of January but the Kentucky Derby season already is in full swing.
New York, Louisiana, California and Kentucky all host races Saturday that could point toward the first Saturday of May at Churchill Downs. At the very least, they will give newly turned 3-year-olds a chance to show they belong on the Triple Crown trail.
And, not to forget the fillies, New York has a race for 3-year-old distaffers that also could give some clues about the filly Classics. A similar event at Laurel Park in Maryland failed to fill.
Gulfstream and Santa Anita enliven the mix with races for older horses, too, and turf sprinters are in action on both coasts.
And ... away we go!
Kentucky Derby preps
Saturday's $200,000, Grade II Jerome Stakes at Aqueduct is an early trial for the final New York Derby prep -- the Wood Memorial. The $100,000, Grade III Sham Stakes shows the way to the Santa Anita Derby and, perhaps, beyond. The $50,000 Turfway Prevue in northern Kentucky previews the Spiral Stakes on the all-weather course. And the $100,000 Big Drama Stakes at Delta Downs in Louisiana finds 3-year-olds going 7 furlongs -- 3 full furlongs short of the distance of the Run for the Roses. But you have to start somewhere, right?
Eight signed on for the 1 mile, 70-yards Jerome Stakes and the morning-line favorite is Vyjack, a Kentucky-bred son of Into Mischief who won both his 2012 starts, including the Traskwood Stakes over the Aqueduct main course last month. Also fancied by the oddsmaker is Long River, a beautifully bred colt by A.P. Indy out of the Awesome Again mare Round Pond. A.P. Indy, Round Pond and Awesome Again all are Breeders' Cup winners. The Darley homebred took three tries to break his maiden for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin but got the job done when he stretched out beyond a mile for the first time. Mudflats, a Tapit gelding, also won for the first time in his third try. Vegas No Show is the most experienced of the top bunch with off-the-board finishes in the Grade II Three Chimneys Stakes and Grade II Remsen. The Hard Spun colt did win the Dover Stakes at Delaware Park and finished second in the Grade II Nashua at the Big A. For those who like trainer Todd Pletcher, no matter what, in juvenile races, his only starter in the Jerome, Notacatbutallama, is 10-1 on the morning line. He has two wins and two seconds in his last four starts -- all stakes. Amerigo Vespucci has two wins and two seconds in nice races at Laurel.
Six are entered for the Sham at 1 mile on the Santa Anita main track but it looks like a two-horse race -- on paper, anyway. Two of the six are trained by Bob Baffert and two by Doug O'Neill. O'Neill's top hope, Goldencents, already would have earned his way into the Kentucky Derby field by virtue of his win in the $1 million, Grade III Delta Downs Jackpot back in November. The Into Mischief colt also finished second in the Grade II Foxwoods Champagne Stakes at Saratoga -- behind Breeders' Cup winner Shanghai Bobby -- but, under the new Derby points system, will have to scramble with everyone else to make the Churchill Downs field despite $722,000 in earnings. O'Neill also has recent maiden winner Greely Awesome. Baffert's pair is led by Den's Legacy, who finished second in one of the Breeders' Cup undercard stakes races, then came back to finish third in the $750,000, Grade I Cash Call Futurity three weeks ago behind highly regarded Violence. Den's Legacy, a Medaglia d'Oro colt, has Garrett Gomez up and starts from the rail. The other Baffert, Manando, is drawn outside. That Bluegrass Cat colt broke his maiden in his fourth try at Hollywood Park last month, beating stablemate Curly Top. Dry Summer won the Oak Tree Juvenile Turf at Del Mar this summer but has struggled on the main track at Santa Anita. Dirty Swag rounds out the field.
Eight 3-year-olds are set to go in Saturday's $50,000 Prevue at Turfway, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. None has particularly distinguished himself yet, although Corso's Law, a Lawyer Ron colt, broke his maiden at Churchill Downs during the fall meeting, then came back to run second on the Turfway all-weather track. He will try the same 6 1/2-furlongs distance Saturday. Bye Bye Bernie, who has raced on the turf in New York and the all-weather at Keeneland, will see what he can do for trainer Kelly Breen and could stay for the rest of the Turfway series with a successful run.
And speaking of Delta Downs, a field of seven is entered for Saturday night's $100,000 Big Drama Stakes going 7 furlongs. The 2-1 morning-line favorite is Heaven's Runway, who won the Fitz Dixon Memorial at Presque Isle Downs in September, but then finished seventh in the Grade III Iroquois at Churchill Downs and in the Delta Jackpot. The Run Away and Hide colt has been working quickly this month over the local strip. Also fancied are King Henry, winner of the Clever Trevor Stakes at Remington and Mr. Bandini's Band, who was competitive in local stakes in the recent past.
3-year-old fillies
Saturday's $100,000 Busanda Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Aqueduct attracted a field of six to go 1 mile and 70 yards. The morning-line favorites are Asiya, Princess of Sylmar and Kiss the Lady. Princess of Sylmar has won two of three while the other two are coming off maiden wins.
Gulfstream Park
Defending champion Heavenly Landing will be back for another try in Saturday's $100,000, Grade III Marshua's River on the south Florida turf. Heavenly Landing had only one other win last year, that coming in her most recent start at Keeneland in October. Leading Astray, who has hit the board in five of her eight starts, likely will be making a late run along with Heavenly Landing. Hard Not to Like is making her first start since the Kentucky Oaks, where she finished a troubled sixth.
Santa Anita
Breeder's Cup Turf Sprint winner Mizdirection returns for the first time since that triumph in Sunday's $150,000, Grade II Monrovia Stakes for fillies and mares down the hillside turf layout. The 7-year-old Mizzen Mast mare has never finished worse than third in 12 career starts, with seven wins in that span. She won this race last year. Among the five rivals are stakes winners Byrama, Kindle, Givine and Broken Dreams. On form, Mizdirection would be the direction to take.
Saturday's $150,000, Grade II San Pasqual is for 4-year-olds and up going 1 1/16 miles on the main track with a field of nine entered. Here, Baffert and his crew saddle four -- Jaycito, Coil, Hoorayforhollywood and Bank the Eight. Coil was a disappointing seventh in the Breeders' Cup Sprint, then third in the Group 1 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct in November. He won the Grade I Haskell at Monmouth and the Grade I Santa Anita Sprint Championship earlier in 2012 and turned in a sparkling work on Dec. 29 -- 5 furlongs in 58.40, best of 103 that day. Jaycito has been more promise than delivery of late but has some previous success at Santa Anita.
Tampa Bay Downs
And speaking of turf sprints, Great Attack, fifth in the November Breeders' Cup, bounces back in Saturday's $75,000 Turf Dash, facing eight rivals. The 6-year-old son of Greatness is the morning-line favorite. She also won the race last year and finished second in 2011, behind Bridgetown. Silver Cloud, Hello Prince and Hold On Smokey could be in the mix.

Breeding Basics: The Mare`s Reproductive CycleHorse breeding is a business full of rewards and disappointments. Breeders eagerly await the birth of a healthy foal, but they also understand the risk of abortion or of a mare not conceiving. To better help owners/breeders and veterinarians work together to achieve a successful breeding outcome, Christine Aurich, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ECAR, professor at the Centre for Artificial Insemination and Embryo Transfer and Graf Lehndorff Institute for Equine Science at the University of Veterinary Sciences in Vienna, Austria, recently composed a comprehensive report about mares' reproductive cycles--information first-time and experienced breeders alike can use in their programs.
The mare's reproductive cycle comprises the recurring physiologic changes prompted by reproductive hormones. When the mare is "in heat" she's in estrus, which means she's sexually receptive and easier to impregnate. She is in anestrus when the sexual cycle is not active; the mare is thus difficult or impossible to impregnate. The latter is induced by season (mares usually are in anestrus through the winter and early spring), pregnancy, and age (very young and older mares will likely remain in a period of anestrus), among other factors.
Once a mare is in estrus, the breeder should solicit the help of a reproduction veterinarian to monitor the mare closely for ovulation. Aurich explained that the foundation of a good reproductive program starts with a "veterinarian that has good knowledge of equine reproductive physiology and is experienced in managing mares during estrus and early pregnancy to achieve optimal results.
"In contrast to other domestic animal species, the reproductive stage of an individual mare can be easily determined and is an important prerequisite for successful manipulation of the mare's estrous cycle," Aurich continued, "but it requires repeated gynecological examination of the mare including transrectal ultrasonography for detecting the optimal time for mating."
For a complete overview of reproduction and stallion management, read Understanding the Stallion.
Many veterinarians suggest the mare be bred 24-48 hours before ovulation so the sperm can penetrate the follicle before it ruptures. After breeding and ovulation mares might be checked for pregnancy initially around Day 16 or 17. The veterinarian should conduct pregnancy screens throughout the pregnancy to ensure continued fetal development, suggested Aurich.
She said the most successful reproductive program combines an insightful understanding of the mare's reproductive physiology together with these in-depth and frequent veterinary examinations of the individual mare.

The rigid poly-spun cartridge construction effectively removes dirt and sediment with impressive flow rates of up to 8 gallons per minute. Each cartridge contains two distinct micron layers, where larger particles are trapped near the exterior. Progressively finer particles are then trapped as they move towards the filter core. Thus the cartridge has exceptional solids-holding capacity and will perform longer. The KW2510G is made from continuous spun, thermally bonded polypropylene fibers. The cartridge is rated for 5 micron dirt /sediment removal.
To provide perspective to the 5 micron sediment entrapment rating it is important to note the naked human eye can see down to 20 micron and a human hair is 100 microns in diameter.

Istanbul, as the host city of the 5th World Water Forum, has a unique nature and history which harbour great resources. By preparing the Artistic Events Programme, the Forum Secretariat hoped to introduce the native cultures which made this beautiful city the 2010 European Capital of Culture. It also tried to gather creative minds who use the theme of water to shed a different light on natural resources. As a metaphor, we chose the art of "Ebru", which uses water as a background, embracing the patterns of different colours flowing freely, yet permanently, for the reflection of Turkish culture. To view the photos of the cultural and artistic events held during the Forum please click here.

Getting to the Heart of Chaste Love
From our Feb. 26 issue: New chastity program for children and the latest project from Jason Evert.
Two mothers from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis want to make sure that young people know what real love is. That set them on a course four years ago to develop a Catholic school program.
Purely You is designed for children in their pre-adolescent and adolescent years (as early as fourth grade) to understand who they are, what it means to be made in God's image, and how their bodies and relationships are made for chaste love, modeled after God's free, total, faithful and life-giving love for us. The material, based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality and other Church sources, includes six lessons on physical, emotional, moral and spiritual growth, with respect to dignity and innocence. The comprehensive program is written for schools, but it establishes a cooperative and coordinated approach between the school and home.
"We know there are other theology-of-the-body programs, and they are good; but they tend to be for kids who already know about puberty. With the help of Church documents, we've pulled it to a level that kids even younger can understand, and equally important, their parents. A lot of parents don't know what theology of the body is or what it means to be made in God's image," says Suzanne Lewis, 44, mom of six children and a member of Epiphany Church in Coon Rapids, Minn.
Lewis and her sister, Gretchen Thibault, 43, a member of St. Charles Borromeo Church in St. Anthony, Minn., and a mother to eight children, began their quest to develop a better maturation program than what they were seeing in the classrooms, which were programs largely produced by secular sources and lacking any context with regard to the teachings of the Church.
"What struck me was that the Catholic Church has so much to offer. We're the ones that get it (love) in its entirety and fullness. How come there's nothing out there that reflects what the Church thinks to really help kids and parents?" said Thibault.
St. John the Baptist Parish and School in New Brighton, Minn., was one of the first schools in the Twin Cities to implement the program, which has an imprimatur from Archbishop John Nienstedt and is on the archdiocese's list of recommended resources. Serving as the censor librorum in the process, Father James Reidy, said, "The program is an excellent resource for schools and parents and deserves wide distribution."
Principal Sue Clausen said the program is one of the first she has seen that also helps educate parents.
"I am excited about this program for our students and our parents because I feel strongly that it helps parents do their job, and it takes into account that the parent needs some educating and some help in order to do it well," she said. "As I looked through this material, there is no comparison to the depth and breadth of how they cover the child's development in loving God and learning how to treat their body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. I'm really excited for the parents to see them and then use them with their children."
The program includes six 10-minute DVD lessons, discussion questions, quizzes and worksheets for the classroom, and a sheet sent home to the parents with objectives and home activities. A "Parent Guide" is also included to give parents a deeper explanation of Church teaching on the importance of their role as primary educators on human sexuality and a "Conversation Guide" to assist them in speaking to their sons and daughters about the more delicate subjects of maturation, love and life. A home-school version of the "Classroom Manual" was developed as well.
"We give (parents) a lot of helpful hints on talking with their child, trying to give them confidence that they know their child better than anyone, and they can do it," said Lewis. "The 'Parent Guide' even gives wording for how you could explain how babies are made, from a 3-year-old level or a child who needs a full-blown explanation, and it's always done through the lens of God's plan, the meaning of our bodies, love, life and self-gift."
In San Diego, Jason Evert, a chastity speaker with Catholic Answers, and author of the book How to Find Your Soul Mate Without Losing Your Soul, is on the front lines of the contraceptive culture. He has spoken to more than 1 million teens and young adults about the virtue of chastity. The challenge of reaching people who have not been formed in Catholic teaching on the beauty of human sexuality is like doing "triage," he said.
"The majority are cohabitating and contracepting. The number of adult Catholics who are sterilized is staggering. They've been raised in a very contraceptive culture that views children as a tax deduction and burden, not the supreme gift of marriage," said Evert. "I try to emphasize that the Church's teaching on chastity is good news; it's about expressing God's love for your body, not about following a bunch of rules so you don't go to hell."
His new DVD, Green Sex, Good for the Body, Good for the Soul, is a crash course in both the theology and biology of human sexuality. It lays out compelling facts about the dangers of contraception that are well established in medical journals, hidden by pharmaceutical companies, and deliberately ignored by the American Medical Association. More than 150 physiological changes occur in a woman's body with the birth-control pill, he notes on the DVD, including an increased risk of breast cancer, which the World Health Organization acknowledges. Evert questions society's embrace of the ecological "green" movement, while ignoring the toxic impact of contraception on our bodies, our marriages and our souls.
The DVD is intended for persons involved in marriage preparation, young-adult groups, high-school teachers, and engaged or married couples. Catholic Answers is also making available an audio portion of the CD that can be downloaded and copied for free.
"The Church's teachings on sex is really liberating for us, especially for women. Chastity is an expression of love, not an unhealthy oppression of sexual desire," he said.
The key to combating the contraceptive, anti-life mentality is to start the conversations early on with your children, said Thibault. "This ability that a parent has to communicate with their child on more delicate issues is one way to help avoid the struggles in the area of chastity and hopefully avoid unnecessary heartache."
Barb Ernster writes from Fridley, Minnesota.

Passing reference in "Argo" rankles New Zealand
WELLINGTON, New Zealand Thirteen minutes into the movie, CIA agent Tony Mendez asks supervisor Jack O'Donnell what happened to a group of Americans when the U.S. Embassy was stormed in Tehran.
"The six of them went out a back exit," O'Donnell tells Mendez, played by Ben Affleck. "Brits turned them away. Kiwis turned them away. Canadians took them in."
That's the only mention of New Zealand in "Argo," but it is rankling Kiwis five months after the Oscar-winning film was released in the South Pacific nation. Even Parliament has expressed its dismay, passing a motion stating that Affleck, who also directed the movie, "saw fit to mislead the world about what actually happened."
New Zealand joins a list of other countries that have felt slighted by the fictionalized account of how a group of Americans was furtively sheltered and secreted out of Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. But nations such as Iran and Canada were much larger participants in the historical event the movie depicts.
The strong reaction in New Zealand indicates the country remains insecure about its own culture, said Steve Matthewman, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Auckland. People are prone to bouts of unwarranted outrage when somebody from abroad says something bad about the country, he said, and simpering enjoyment when they say something good.
"It's touched a really raw nerve," Matthewman said. "We do seem in New Zealand to be oversensitive to how the rest of the world perceives us."
The movie's New Zealand reference may not be totally fair but has an element of truth.
Some in New Zealand have taken those words -- "Kiwis turned them away" -- as implying the country did nothing to help. Published interviews indicate that diplomats from Britain and New Zealand did help by briefly sheltering the Americans, visiting them and bringing them food, even driving them to the airport when they left.
Yet those interviews also indicate that both countries considered it too risky to shelter the Americans for long. That left the Canadians shouldering the biggest risk by taking them in.
Lawmaker Winston Peters, who brought last week's uncontested motion before Parliament, said New Zealanders are unfairly portrayed as "a bunch of cowards," an impression that would be given to millions who watch the movie.
"It's a diabolical misrepresentation of the acts of courage and bravery, done at significant risk to themselves, by New Zealand diplomats," he said.
During Oscar media interviews last month, Affleck told reporters: "Let me just start by saying I love New Zealand, and I love New Zealanders." He added that "I think that it's tricky. You walk a fine line. You are doing a historical movie and naturally you have to make some creative choices about how you are going to condense this into a three-act structure."
Affleck could not be reached for comment this week.
Matthewman said the reference may have provoked New Zealanders because the country prides itself on being generous and hospitable. People have a reputation for doing things like picking up hitchhikers and inviting them into their homes for a week, he said.
Small countries like New Zealand that are far from the world's centers of power are often shaped by bigger countries like the U.S. and often look to them for affirmation, Matthewman said. It's interesting to note the different reaction Affleck got in Britain, Matthewman said, which was arguably equally maligned in the movie.
"They give the guy a BAFTA in Britain and bash him in New Zealand," he said, referring to the best director prize Affleck won at the British Academy Film Awards.
Some in Britain, however, have criticized "Argo's" reference to that country, and some in Canada are upset the CIA gets credit at the expense of the Canadians, a claim backed by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. And Iran is planning to sue Hollywood for the movie's alleged "unrealistic portrayal" of that country, according to Iranian media reports.
Yet while Iran and Canada are central parts of the movie, the New Zealand reference could easily be missed -- at least by outsiders.
Patrick Gower, the political editor for TV3, one of two main television news stations in New Zealand, wrote in a blog that Affleck should apologize after he "deliberately slammed" the country.
"Some people will say I'm being oversensitive here," he wrote. "But in my opinion, what Affleck has done just isn't right."
The controversy was not reflected in box-office receipts. "Argo" has done well in New Zealand, earning just over $1 million. As of this week, the film has earned $92.3 million internationally and $135 million in North America.
National carrier Air New Zealand has even extended an olive branch to Affleck by offering to fly him to the country as its guest. Airline spokeswoman Marie Hosking said this week it has yet to hear back from him.
Prime Minister John Key, meanwhile, has tried to sound a note of reason.
"New Zealand, I think, sees itself as a country that always wants to lend a hand to help people," he told reporters recently. "But in the end, this is Hollywood, and they do make movies. And a bit like when they transfer a book to a movie, often it's a little bit different. So, look, I think we've made our point and we should probably move on."
But the country doesn't seem ready to move on quite yet.

A former television reality show producer accused in the death of his wife at a Cancun resort was ordered to remain in custody Wednesday to stand trial in Mexico.
A judge in Cancun announced the decision Wednesday morning that Bruce Beresford-Redman, a former producer for the reality show "Survivor," will stand trial for aggravated homicide in the death of his wife, 41-year-old Westside LA restaurant owner Monica Burgos.
A trial date was not immediately scheduled. Defense attorneys plan to appeal the decision.
Beresford-Redman must remain in custody until the trial begins. He nearly fainted when he was told he would be held for trial, according to an NBC News producer in the Cancun courtroom.
Local news from across Southern California
"The decision has renewed our faith in the international justice system," the Burgos family said in a statement.
Beresford-Redman is accused of killing his wife two years ago, then dumping her body in a sewer when the two were vacationing in Cancun. In February, he was extradited to Mexico to face the allegations.
Beresford-Redman opted in December not to appeal a U.S. court ruling upholding his extradition.
The couple's two children also were staying at the Cancun hotel at the time of Burgos' death. Their 6-year-old daughter testified at a July 12 extradition hearing that Beresford-Redman and Burgos were getting along during the trip, but prosecutors alleged that Beresford-Redman killed his wife for insurance money and to gain custody of the children.
Hotel guests claimed they heard the couple arguing in their room on the night Monica Burgos disappeared. Defense attorneys said the noises came from the couple's children.
