By Brandon Bailey San Jose Mercury News.
Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg sought Wednesday to spike persistent rumors that she may run for political office, going beyond previous statements by telling NBC's "Today Show": "I have ruled it out. I don't think that's for me."
The political ambitions of Facebook's chief operating officer have been the subject of recurring speculation, based on her high profile in Silicon Valley, close ties with Democratic power brokers -- and a potential network of supporters who have joined groups devoted to her best-selling book, "Lean In," and its advice for women who want to advance their careers.
The charismatic, 44-year-old Sandberg has also been mentioned recently as a potential candidate for CEO at other companies, in part because Facebook's 29-year-old chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, seems unlikely to retire in the near future.
But Sandberg told the Today Show's Savannah Guthrie: "I really love my job and I have no plans to make any changes."
Sandberg has denied political ambitions before, including in private conversation, according to some tech industry sources. Political experts, however, said even her latest statement isn't necessarily binding.
"I don't think it forecloses future action on her part. She could rule it back in at some point," said Barbara O'Connor, a veteran analyst and emeritus director of the Institute for the Study of Politics and Media at California State University, Sacramento.
Sandberg's statement that she has ruled out public office went further than an Associated Press interview earlier in the week, in which she said simply "I'm not running" but didn't speak to the future.
For now, the interview appeared to dampen immediate expectations that Sandberg -- who is a near-billionaire, thanks to stock grants from working at both Facebook and Google -- might run for U.S. Senate if either of California's longtime incumbents, Democrats Dianne Feinstein or Barbara Boxer, decide not to seek another term.
That came as a disappointment to her admirers.
"It's too bad, because she's clearly a leader of great skill, a woman who cares deeply about helping other women to succeed, and someone many of us would strongly support," said Susan Estrich, a veteran Democratic political strategist who teaches law at the University of Southern California.
Before she came to Silicon Valley, Sandberg served as chief of staff to U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers. She has since maintained close ties with Democratic figures.
But some in Silicon Valley weren't surprised by her statement Wednesday. "It's so not where she's at," said a tech executive who knows Sandberg well. "This was never something she was planning to do."
As the No. 2 leader at Facebook, Sandberg runs the business side of the world's biggest social network, reporting to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. In that role, said the executive who knows Sandberg, "she can make a ton of money and have a massive impact on people's lives," while enjoying "more power and less pain" than she might face as a politician.
Two other prominent Silicon Valley executives, Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina, have sought public office as Republicans in California in recent years. Both lost after bruising political contests.
While those two ran mostly on their business accomplishments, Sandberg's book and her high-profile campaign to address women's issues could help convince voters that she has something more to offer, O'Connor said.
But her "Lean In" campaign has drawn some controversy, with critics suggesting that the advice of a wealthy executive isn't particularly helpful for women in lower-paying jobs. Some have cited her frequent public appearances -- and a parallel campaign that encourages women to organize groups known as "Lean In" circles -- as evidence of positioning for her own advancement.
Sandberg's defenders contend that such criticism is a backlash aimed at detracting from her discussions about women's issues in general. Some suggested that may be why she decided to put the political speculation to rest in Wednesday's interview.
Other speculation will likely continue. The New York Post reported last month that Sandberg was in the running to become CEO of Disney, although sources close to Sandberg quickly denied it.
At Facebook, Sandberg oversees the company's multibillion-dollar online advertising business and other operations. In the Today Show interview, which mostly focused on the release of a new edition of her book, she said,: "I love what we do to connect the world and I love being able to work on 'Lean In' in my personal time."

Star quarterback Tom Brady did not join his New England Patriots teammates when the Super Bowl champions visited the White House on Wednesday to accept congratulations from President Donald Trump for another NFL title.
The White House said it was notified that Brady was dealing with a "personal family matter" and will not attend the ceremony.
Brady released a statement saying he was "so happy and excited" that the Patriots are being honored at the White House. He also thanked President Donald Trump for hosting the celebration "and for supporting our team for as long as I can remember."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
But Brady said due to some "recent developments," he is unable to be there because he is "attending to some personal family matters." Brady did not elaborate on the family issue. The Boston Herald reported that he was going to spend time with his mother, who has been battling cancer.
Trump has close ties to the Patriots, counting owner Bob Kraft and coach Bill Belichick as friends. One of Trump's signature "Make America Great Again" hats was spotted in Tom Brady's locker in 2015.
The president praised Kraft on Wednesday for "building such an outstanding organization" and for the prolonged success of the franchise.
"No team has been this good for this long," Trump said. "The Patriots are an incredible organization and this Super Bowl victory was a complete team effort. That's the beauty of what they do - they win as a team."
He also heaped praise upon Belichick, thanking him for writing a letter last year in support of his candidacy for president. Trump read the letter aloud during a campaign rally in New Hampshire.
"He's just a very special guy," Trump said. "He's tough, he's smart, and he's got a great heart."
Kraft called it "a true honor" to be at the White House.
"It's a distinct honor for us to celebrate what was unequivocally our sweetest championship with a very good friend and someone whose mental toughness and strength I greatly admire," he said.
Kraft and Belichick presented Trump with a number 45 jersey and a Super Bowl LI helmet.
One player made an impromptu appearance at a White House press before the official ceremony. Tight end Rob Gronkowski stuck his head in the door of the briefing room as Press Secretary Sean Spicer was holding a televised press briefing.
He jokingly asked Spicer whether he needed any help, drawing laughs. Spicer - an avid Patriots fan - responded "I think I got this. But thank you."
Trump's welcome to the team came hours after the news from Massachusetts prisons officials that ex-Patriot tight end Aaron Hernandez hanged himself in his prison cell.
Hernandez, who played for the Patriots from 2010 to 2012, was serving a life sentence for a murder conviction. Days ago, the 27-year-old former tight end was acquitted of a double murder.
A team spokesman said the Patriots were aware of the reports of Hernandez's death but that the club wasn't expected to comment. Several players were asked about Hernandez's death after the White House ceremony, but they declined to answer.
Besides Brady, at least six members of the team were not expected at Wednesday's event.
After the triumphant victory, tight end Martellus Bennett quickly made it clear he was not coming to the White House and other teammates followed. Many noted their differences with the Republican administration.
Defensive back Devin McCourty told Time Magazine that "I don't feel accepted in the White House. With the president having so many strong opinions and prejudices I believe certain people might feel accepted there while others won't."
Players have turned down White House invites ever since such events began to take off under President Ronald Reagan. That includes Brady in 2015. He cited a "family commitment" at the time, but there was speculation he declined because of some unflattering comments a spokesman for President Barack Obama made about the "Deflategate" scandal.
The team's White House visit capped a dramatic Super Bowl victory. In the first such game to go to overtime, the Patriots pulled off a stunning rally from 25 points down to beat the Atlanta Falcons.

Ringo Starr's reunion with five fans whose picture he snapped the day the Beatles landed in the US made heartwarming headlines this week. The touching scene came about two months after Paul McCartney sent a long-overdue thank-you note to two British fans who mailed him an audiotaped love letter that took a half-century to reach his ears.
Sure, excitement over the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in New York is growing among fans. But the latent wave of Beatlemania also seems to be sweeping up, at least in modest ways, Starr and McCartney.
Starr's meeting with the now-gray quintet and McCartney's letter to his former teenage aficionados underscore the group's deep and enduring connection with fans – and a recognition that the fans are nearly as big a part of the Beatles' story as the music.
U.S. & World
The Beatles, even amid the sad absence of John Lennon and George Harrison, keep rewarding fans of all ages for their support. The "On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2" double CD set released earlier this month offers some stunning early radio performances, and quickly became the 31st Beatles album to reach the Billboard Top 10. The 71-year-old McCartney wrapped a tour of Japan on Thursday in support of his latest strong album, "New." Starr, 73, just finished a tour that took him to South America, Mexico and Las Vegas, where he met the surviving five fans of the group of six he photographed all those years ago.
The shot is part of his new book, "Photograph," which contains rare pictures he snapped of his band mates and other luminaries over the years. But it's telling that he picked the fan photo for the book's centerfold – his choice is a sign that the Beatles were just as amazed by their fans as their fans were by them. If the Beatles were the most photographed band of all time, then their followers were certainly the most photographed fans.
Pictures from Friday's reunion in Vegas show Starr and his rediscovered friends sporting time-erasing smiles. The reaction to the story also serves as a reminder of the intergenerational appeal of a group that, according to a 2009 Pew Research Center survey, placed in the top four favorite music acts of all Americans ages 16 to 64. Just go to a McCartney or Starr concert, or a Fest for Beatles Fans gathering, and you'll see plenty of us too young to remember them as a band and many more whose parents weren't even born when John, Paul, George and Ringo took their last stroll across Abbey Road.
We can expect the same age range of folks to perform at the upcoming post-Grammys concert celebration of the Beatles' golden anniversary as American icons. Starr and McCartney are expected to be on hand, amid hopes they'll do more than just watch and listen. After all, they know a thing or two about pleasing fans. In the meantime, check out this "Today" show report on a reunion that commemorates Feb. 7, 1964 – a day when both six fans and the Fab Four became witnesses to music history:

Building your Classroom
What are some of your classroom musts? I am in the beginning stages of designing and budgeting for the classroom we'll be building in January. I have a few things that I want, but I'd like to see what everyone else uses. After I figure out what all I need I can figure out where it will all go, and that's the fun part!

It is important to be organized. I have been teaching for 12 years and the one thing I have found I need the most is having systems in place. I use hanging files and milk cartons. Also, try to have a separate color for each subject. Try hard to maintain those colors through out your systems. Figure out what your goals are and then organize around them.

WHITEWRIGHT, TX -- It has been over a week since the fertilizer plant in West, Texas exploded leaving at least 14 people dead and dozens more wounded. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the blast as state and federal agencies question inspection and regulation policies for plants. Friday, Kristen Shanahan visited one Texoma town that is home to two fertilizer plants. She found out what emergency plans are in place if a disaster were to occur there.
El Dorado Chemical Company and Helena Chemical sit right next to each other off South Bond Street in Whitewright. They are both fertilizer facilities -- and after the explosion at a fertilizer plant in West -- some residents who live just feet away from these plants are voicing their concerns.
Shane Parker lives just feet away from both fertilizer plants in Whitewright. He says he never thought twice about living next to them until the plant in West exploded, leveling part of the town.
"When it first happened in West I suggested selling the house and moving", Parker said.
A Helena representative says they do not have any "explosive" chemicals on site. An El Dorado spokesman says while their bins do hold ammonium nitrate their materials are housed in a way that does not pose a threat to the public. He says ammonium nitrate is not explosive unless it is tightly contained and mixed with fuel and heat.
"To my knowledge there's not an explosion hazard, but we still have plans in place in case a situation were to come up where it could happen, but has of right now neither one are reporting an explosion hazard," Fire Chief Joshua Clouse said.
Whitewright Fire Chief Joshua Clouse says if a massive fire broke out, they would immediately evacuate all nearby areas -- including the school -- which is across the street from the plants.
"We would start as close as we can, especially the schools, which they would relocate outside of city limits as quickly as possible," Clouse said.
Parker has two sons -- one in kindergarten at Whitewright Elementary. He says he is anxious for investigators to find out what caused the plant in West to explode, in the hopes of preventing a disaster like that from happening again and to help prevent such tragedy from ever hitting home.
"This is a little bitty community it would absolutely crush this town. Especially the school, if there were kids going to school when it happened. It would take this whole neighborhood out and the school. I mean it would devastate this town," Parker said.
Both representatives from El Dorado and Helena Chemicals say when officials discover what caused the explosion in West they will re-evaluate and see if there are any extra safety precautions they can take at their own plants.

Man charged in alleged marijuana-growing operation above day care
Darron Nolen, 23, arrested at A Child Shall Lead day care on North Side
A 23-year-old North Side man is facing drug charges in an alleged marijuana-growing operation above a day care.
On Wednesday, detectives executed a search warrant at an upstairs apartment in the 2800 block of Perrysville Avenue when they found six marijuana plants -- three large, three small -- two bags of marijuana and six bags of marijuana seeds, as well as packaging paraphernalia, police said.
Photos: Alleged marijuana-growing operation found above day care
They arrested Darron Nolen in the A Child Shall Lead day care downstairs. Nolen is not associated with the day care.
Nolen faces several drug-related charges, including possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
The smell of marijuana did not affect the day care or the children there, police said. A nearby day care, Mamas Little Angels Learning Center, was also not affected, police said.

Our current colors are blue and yellow as shown in attached file. However we would like to keep it, we dont want to limit you in your creativity, so it's primarly up to you. Anyway there should be only two core colors.
The logo has to be memorable, scalable and effective without color.
Conception is:
Unique - express your creativity, we do not want a common logo, think about your design, give us a relevant idea
Balance - everything should match together perfectly
Simplicity - it should be clear and elegant
Tradition - rather than something extra modern we would like something timeless
The logo will be used in either electronic form (web, e-mails) and stationery, thus we would like to see a simple version in colours, in greyscale and version with effects (gradients, gloss, etc. - this one isn't necessary).
In addition we will require the original file (.ai, .svg, .eps,...)
Be creative, good luck.

Rachael Osborne and Iyar Elezra in Ohad Naharin's Hora. Photo by Gadi Dagon.
I first wrote the article below for the Forward last winter, when the Batsheva Dance Company toured North America in three large-scale productions. Now, right before New York audiences catch Ohad Naharin's duet B/olero in City Center's popular Fall for Dance festival, I decided it was time to revisit this piece.
Fall for Dance features an array of internationally-renowned companies, and while Batsheva has boasted a world-class reputation since its inception, its style and structure have changed dramatically over the last few decades. This article, originally titled "Going Gaga for Batsheva in America," traces Batsheva's transition from a strongly American-influenced company to the more distinctive troupe which has captivated contemporary audiences.
Going Gaga for Batsheva in America
Since its first tour of the United States in 1970, Israel's Batsheva Dance Company has won over American crowds and critics alike with its energetic approach to dance. At the time, it was, perhaps, a novelty: an Israeli group performing primarily American repertory with unbridled verve and vigor. But in the past 18 years, the company has become a phenomenon of a different sort. The Batsheva Dance Company, which is currently crisscrossing North America, is widely recognized as one of the world's top dance ensembles, featuring audacious choreography with inventive movement.
Founded in 1964 with the financial backing of Baroness Batsheva de Rothschild, Batsheva began as a repertory company in the American mold. Martha Graham, a founding mother of American modern dance and a beneficiary of de Rothschild's patronage, served as artistic adviser. The Israeli dancers trained intensively in Graham's technique and channeled both their physical power and their emotional passion into some of the choreographer's most acclaimed works. With many of Graham's disciples contributing to Batsheva's repertory, the Tel Aviv-based company was part of American modern dance's family; New York Times critic Clive Barnes even called Batsheva's members "the Israeli children of American dance" upon seeing the company's American debut.

It's a risky proposition, but the payoff makes it hard to resist.
On Tuesday it was announced that Rory McIlroy would join a long list of players who have changed equipment at the height of their playing careers. In a joint statement, McIlroy and Titleist announced that they would part ways at the end of the year.
"I would like to thank Wally Uihlein and all of the tour staff and employees at Titleist and FootJoy for everything they have done for me since I turned professional in 2007," McIlroy said. "I have enjoyed five very exciting and successful years with the company and I will always appreciate the contribution Titleist has made in helping me become the player I am today."
Rumors swirl about McIlroy's future, most of them involving staggering sums of money. But this golden trail is fraught with danger, as evidenced by the list of players who have stumbled along the same path.
Remember Billy Andrade? The television analyst was once one of the hottest young guns in the game, and a marketer's dream, especially after winning in back-to-back weeks back in 1991. Handsome, charming, articulate, and a birdie-making machine: Andrade had it all. Then he changed equipment, going to the high-end line of Maruman irons. They were excellent clubs, but they didn't do much for Billy. His next win didn't come until 1998.
And he's not alone. Corey Pavin won twice in 1995, including the U.S. Open, and he picked up another victory in 1996. Then he changed to the trendy PRGR irons. He didn't win again for 10 years.
Payne Stewart won eight times including two majors with Wilson clubs. Then he moved to Spalding after finishing sixth on the money list in 1993. The next year he finished 123rd and only won one time between 1994 and 1998.
Paul Azinger struggled when he switched from Wilson to Callaway, so much so that he flew to California with every intention of walking away from his deal. "When a man tells me he's willing to walk away from seven figures, I know I need to pay attention," Ely Callaway told Zinger at the time.
There are others: Graeme McDowell went from major champion and Ryder Cup hero to winless after making an equipment change. Jim Furyk went from three-time winner and FedExCup champion to 50th in the world at the end of 2011 after "tinkering" with his equipment.
The list goes on and on, with stories as predictable as "Behind the Music" episodes where rock stars blow their riches on floozies and booze.
Even Arnold Palmer has a story about an equipment change.
"Things started going sour when Wilson informed me that my contract wasn't up in 1960 as I thought, but was automatically renewed through 1963," Arnold said. "They had retained the right to automatically renew the contract; I hadn't retained the right to get out of it."
Arnold had operated under a handshake agreement with company president Fred Bowman, who'd told him that if he ever wanted to get out of their deal, the company would release him. "If you're not happy with us, we don't want you with us, and it's better that we part friends," Bowman had said.
That turned out not to be true. At a meeting in the company's Chicago offices some time later, Arnold's agent Mark McCormack asked the new president, Bill Holmes, if the handshake deal still stood. "Would you grant Arnold that release?" McCormack asked.
After a couple of uncomfortable seconds, Holmes said, "No, we would not."
"That was it," Arnold said. "I might have been content to stick with Wilson for the rest of my career, or even the rest of my life, but as far as I was concerned the company had broken its word. Mark and I worked together for half-a-century on nothing more than a handshake, and I still believe men should honor their word. Wilson Sporting Goods didn't do that, and our good working relationship ended that day."
Arnold did pretty well with and without Wilson, just as Gary Player won with all sorts of clubs.
Rory might be just as fortunate. Or he might flounder for months or even years until he finds his sweet spot again.
Speaking to the Morning Drive crew on the Golf Channel, Nick Faldo said, "I'd be very cautious. I'd love someone like (Rory), in his position, to sell the bag. That bag is worth a fortune; it'd be on TV all the time. Stick with the clubs that you know best, that you believe in the best.
"It's really important. It's the feel and confidence of knowing that your equipment will perform how you want it to perform on Sunday afternoon. You can't mess with that at such a young age."
These are, of course, first-world problems. Rory's decision might be a tough call until you consider one important point: No matter what equipment he chooses, he is going to wake up on January 1 richer than the King of El Dorado.
And, regardless of what sticks he's playing, who can begrudge him that?

Hit the Road!
Success Story:
I am a very difficult-to-motivate person when it comes to exercise – even though I know that it is one of the best things I can do for my health. Somehow I always let other things occupy my time. So when I saw that my health care plan was offering an incentive program to encourage people to walk more, I decided to form a team and enter the "Hit the Road" challenge. I deliberately invited 2 colleagues who are avid runners – not so we could win – but rather so I would be subject to their chiding if I let down on my end of the deal. This hasn't turned me into an exercise lover, but I am walking more than I had been and thinking about ways to build more movement into my day. With the holidays approaching, I'm hoping this will at least help me stop the gain.
Reviewer Comments:
This is an excellent example of how the support of people important to you, such as family members, friends, or co-workers, can motivate you to become more physically active. Scheduling activity with others also provides social pressure that can act as an incentive to keep you motivated. Just knowing that someone else is depending on you to be active can make you that much more likely not to skip scheduled exercise sessions. In fact, enlisting the support of others has been consistently found to be associated with improvements in physical activity, confidence in activity-related abilities, and quality of life.
So, if you are having trouble becoming or staying physically active, you might find the motivation that you need in those around you – – and you could all be healthier for it!

We don't feel comfortable pitching him unless he is 100 percent because we have to take his long term interests and the team's long term interests into account first and foremost. ... We're pretty optimistic this thing's getting better. It just makes sense. Josh has a great relationship with Andrews, he's an accomplished doctor. Get another opinion here, hoping he comes back and can take the ball pretty soon.Rob Bradford, in a SoSH thread:
Keep in mind, Beckett had been talking on a daily basis with Dr. Andrews over the last week, but the doctor hadn't witnessed the pitcher's ailment in person. As I pointed out in the story today, there is only one person who is going to give Beckett peace of mind regarding this injury and it is Andrews.
"Some people may say something to you and you may trust them, but you have some of those doubts and still stay reserved," Beckett said. "For me, if Dr. Andrews tells me something I can put it in my head and know, 'This is how it is.' It's easier for me to get closure on something because I have that trust."

CHARLESTON, SC -- The old saying "better late than never" really is true when it comes to healthy lifestyle behaviors. People 45 to 64 years old who added new healthy lifestyle behaviors could substantially reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and reduce their death rate, according to a study published in the July 2007 issue of The American Journal of Medicine.
People in the study who ate at least five fruits and vegetables daily, exercised at least two and a half hours per week, maintained their body mass index between 18.5 and 30, and didn't smoke saw a 35 percent decrease in CVD incidence and a 40 percent drop in mortality compared to people with less healthy lifestyles.
"The potential public health benefit from adopting a healthier lifestyle in middle age is substantial. The current study demonstrates that adopting four modest healthy habits considerably lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in a relatively short-term four-year follow up period," says, Dana E. King, MD, the leading investigator of the study. "The findings emphasize that making the necessary changes to adhere to a healthy lifestyle is extremely worthwhile, and that middle age is not too late to act."
The authors found that only 9 percent of middle-aged adults practice these four behaviors, and only 8 percent adopt such a lifestyle past age 45. In addition, men, African-Americans and individuals with less than college education, lower income, or a history of hypertension or diabetes are less likely to adopt a healthy lifestyle past age 45 and are therefore at greater risk of mortality and cardiovascular disease.

Actor and singer Patrick Bruel was one of France's biggest stars during the '90s, first making his name as a teen idol and leading a return to traditional French chanson in the new millennium. Bruel was born Patrick Benguigui in Tlemcen, Algeria, on May 14, 1959. His father abandoned the family when Patrick was only a year old, and in 1962, after Algeria won its independence, his mother moved to France, settling in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil. A fine soccer player in his youth, Patrick first settled on the idea of being a singer after seeing Michel Sardou perform in 1975. As luck would have it, acting would bring him his first success; first-time director Alexandre Arcady ran an ad seeking a young man with a French-Algerian (or "pied-noir" in French slang) accent for his film Le Coup de Sirocco. Benguigui (as he was still called) responded and won the part. The following year, he spent some time in New York City, where he met Gérard Presgurvic, later to become his primary songwriter. Returning to Paris, Bruel appeared in several films, television shows, and plays, and cut his first single, "Vide," in 1982. It failed to attract much attention, but his next effort, "Marre Cette Nana-là" ("Enough of That Chick"), was a substantial hit in 1984. A follow-up, "Comment Ça Va Pour Vous" ("How's It Going for You"), also found success in 1985. Bruel released his debut album, De Face, in 1986, but it failed to live up to expectations and didn't sell particularly well. After several more film appearances and a live recording made at the Olympia, Bruel recorded a second studio album, Alors Regarde, in 1989. Paced by the smash hit "Casser la Voix" ("To Break the Voice"), the album made Bruel a superstar in Europe and Canada, and would eventually go on to sell over three million copies.
Bruel embarked on a sold-out tour; throngs of screaming teenage girls packed his concerts, leading the French media to dub the phenomenon "Bruelmania" (though some critics harbored reservations about his musical talent). A second live album, Si Ce Soir, was culled from the tour. For his third studio album, 1994's Bruel (aka Bruel 3), Bruel tried to move away from his heartthrob-balladeer image by delving into guitar-oriented rock & roll, as on the single "Bouge." The results weren't as commercially successful as before, though Bruel still remained quite popular. A third live album, On S'était Dit, was recorded during the supporting tour in 1995, spawning the Johnny Hallyday-penned single "Pour Exister"; also, the Spanish-language collection Plaza de los Heroes helped break him in the Spanish and South American markets that year. Bruel subsequently took some time off from recording to concentrate on acting, as well as international concert appearances. A skilled poker player, he also joined the World Series of Poker tour, winning the world championship in the Limit Hold 'Em event in 1998.
Bruel finally returned to the studio and completed his fourth proper album, Juste Avant, in late 1999; it found him beginning to experiment with international influences from South America and North Africa. Supported by heavy touring over 2000, the album was a hit, selling over a million copies; it was followed by the double live set Rien Ne S'efface. Bruel had previously covered classic French chansons, usually in concert, but in 2002, he jumped into the style with both feet. The double studio album Entre Deux ("Between Two" -- i.e., between the two World Wars) featured 23 selections from the golden age of French cabaret pop, and found him working with a wide array of guest stars, including Johnny Hallyday and the legendary Charles Aznavour. Some criticized Bruel for seemingly retreating into tradition at a point when the conservative right wing was dominating national politics, though it's unlikely that Bruel -- who once canceled several concerts to protest the growing power of right-wing radicals in certain parts of France -- was intentionally espousing any such sympathy. In any case, his audience followed the move, helping to keep traditional French pop alive and vital for new generations. ---Steve Huey, Rovi

New iPhone? Check. New Siri, iOS and iTunes? You bet. Heck there are even new EarPods (three years to develop? Really??)
But no new iPad. That's reserved for October, most likely.
Apple CEO Tim Cook referenced that the iPad share of the tablet market actually grew in last year, despite having more competitors in the space.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
So what's the incentive to launch a smaller iPad?
The mini-tablet market is fairly robust with Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Google's Nexus 7 already spun up and being tweaked.
An iPad Mini is not guaranteed success... Just kidding. It really is. How could it not be, with 84 million 10-inch tablet already out there. If only 10 percent of those people opted in for a new one, it would bypass Google's Nexus tablet and maybe Kindle Fire (Amazon has not released sales data).
Ten percent isn't that aggressive, either. The duplicate Apple products has to be high, given the consecutive quarters of record tablet sales.

- Meet early and frequently with your academic advisor and ask a lot of questions about your program.
- Attend and participate in all of your classes. Active involvement is the key to success in your classes.
- Read over the syllabus for each class. Determine what needs to be done and what you need to know.
- Get organized! Use a calendar or daily organizer and fill in all your due dates for assignments, papers, and exams.
- Develop study habits that will make studying easier and more beneficial for you.
- Utilize academic resources on campus, such as University library, University Writing Center, academic assistance centers, tutoring services.

Personal Responsibility
Making Choices
Personal responsibility is having the freedom to make choices. During your college years you begin to make choices without the day-to-day influence of your parents. Every choice you make leads you closer to or further away from your goals. The choices you make will influence your success in all areas of your life.
Personal Inventory
Examine your life. Are you happy with the way things are? The choices you have made and the action you have taken have brought you where you are today. If you want to make a change in your life, consider changing the choices you make and the actions you take.
You are accountable, answerable, and responsible for the life you are creating. It's your life so be in charge of it! Remember, it's you that is making your own choices and the way you think and feel is up to you. Take ownership of your choices, and don't shift the responsibility or blame to others.
Personal Success Tips
There is a direct relationship between your personal behavior and your personal success. Make good choices and be aware of your actions to ensure your success.
- Be responsible for the choices in your life.
- Be responsible for how you feel and how you think.
- Do not blame others for the choices you have made.
- Do not depend on others to make you feel good about yourself.
- Do a personal inventory of your strengths, abilities, talents, and virtues.
- Look for the good in every situation.
- Seek out a mentor.
- Learn to appreciate different cultures and viewpoints.
- Be respectful of others.
- Be aware of your choices.
- Remember, you are the artist that gets to sculpt your life's direction.

The latest Magic: the Gathering expansion, Born of the Gods, will be released this weekend. When gods walk among mortals, it makes for some amazing art, which you can see in this Born of the Gods art gallery.
Born of the Gods continues the Greek mythology themed story from the previous set, Theros. There are even more gods, and they seem to be getting even more powerful. The set includes some new mechanics, as well — my personal favorite is Tribute, which allows your opponent to "pay tribute" and give a creature a bunch of +1/+1 counters when you play it. Why would they do this? To avoid some other nasty effect that happens if tribute is not paid. Decisions, decisions.

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Today we're going to prove that DOTS isn't just about old cars, nor is it just about daily drivers or beaters with potatoes for gas caps. If it's parked in public within the city limits of Alameda, it's fair game. And whaddya know- here's a shiny new Gumpert Apollo Type S, parked in front of one of the hangars at the former Alameda Naval Air Station!
All right, I didn't just find it. This Apollo was brought into the country by Mr Mota, the gentleman you see above. He deals in European exotics, but this one's not for sale; it's going to be driving in the Gumball 3000, which starts in San Francisco this Saturday (hence all the stickers). One of his business partners was on the SSPP22 Volvo 780 Bertone team that pitted next to the Black Metal V8olvo at the 24 Hours of LeMons SF a couple months back, and that connection led to a Gumpert photo session on the island.
That's an Audi 4.2 V8, like the one in the RS4, R8, and S5, only with twin turbochargers and about double the horsepower. Oh, it sounds mighty good!
I asked what it was like to drive in city traffic, and the answer was a sort of pained grimace. The seats are not adjustable, the minuscule ground clearance means speed bumps spell certain doom, and the engine's berserk power output isn't well-suited to stop-and-go traffic. But who cares? This thing can likely blow away any other street-legal production car on the planet on a racetrack!
Before we get to the next couple of galleries, let's see The Stig take the Apollo Type S around the Top Gear track and get the best lap time in the history of the show.

Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
Winner of Medical Journalists Association Specialist Readership Award 2010
Recovery is widely endorsed as a guiding principle of mental health policy. Recovery brings new rules for services, e.g. user involvement and person-centred care, as well as new tools for clinical collaborations, e.g. shared decision making and psychiatric advance directives. These developments are complemented by new proposals regarding more ethically consistent anti-discrimination and involuntary treatment legislation, as well as participatory approaches to evidence-based medicine and policy.
Recovery is more than a bottom up movement turned into top down mental health policy in English-speaking countries. Recovery integrates concepts that have evolved internationally over a long time. It brings together major stakeholders and different professional groups in mental health, who share the aspiration to overcome current conceptual reductionism and prognostic negativism in psychiatry.
Recovery is the consequence of the achievements of the user movement. Most conceptual considerations and decisions have evolved from collaborations between people with and without a lived experience of mental health problems and the psychiatric service system. Many of the most influential publications have been written by users and ex-users of services and work-groups that have brought together individuals with and without personal experiences as psychiatric patients.
In a fresh and comprehensive look, this book covers definitions, concepts and developments as well as consequences for scientific and clinical responsibilities. Information on relevant history, state of the art and transformational efforts in mental health care is complemented by exemplary stories of people who created through their lives and work an evidence base and direction for Recovery.
This book was originally published in German. The translation has been fully revised, references have been amended to include the English-language literature and new material has been added to reflect recent developments. It features a Foreword by Helen Glover who relates how there is more to recovery than the absence or presence of symptoms and how health care professionals should embrace the growing evidence that people can reclaim their lives and often thrive beyond the experience of a mental illness.
Comments on German edition:
It is fully packed with useful information for practitioners, is written in jargon free language and has a good reading pace.
Theodor Itten, St. Gallen, Switzerland and Hamburg, Germany
This book is amazingly positive. It not only talks about hope, it creates hope. Its therapeutic effects reach professional mental health workers, service users, and carers alike. Fleet-footed and easily understandable, at times it reads like a suspense novel.
Andreas Knuf, pro mente sana, Switzerland
' This is the future of psychiatry ' cheered a usually service-oriented manager after reading the book. We might not live to see it.'
Ilse Eichenbrenner, Soziale Psychiatrie, Germany

Did God make all life on Earth? Or did life on Earth evolve?
That debate is not settled in Jesus Vs. Dinosaurs, unfortunately. It is true: a game that pits one player as the creator of cars made out of dinosaur parts against another player who makes cars out of Jesus parts (huh??) settles nothing.
This game is not profound, but it is fun. It's from Petri Purho (Crayon Physics) and Martin Jonasson, who made it at a game creation jam two Januarys ago and have tinkered with it since. They've shown it at some gaming events, including at a noisy indie games and press mixer at the offices of gaming outlet IGN this past Sunday in San Francisco. That's where I shot the video above, with Purho in the dinosaur role and Hokra creator Ramiro Corbetta in the Jesus role.
I wish you could play the game, but... here's Purho: "The biggest problem with it is that the game is a local multiplayer party game with religious undertones. The potential audience for a game like this on the PC is probably quite small. And there's no way we can get it on any of the consoles."
Would you settle for watching the video I shot of the game in action?

This statue of Sequoyah was given to the National Statuary Hall Collection by Oklahoma in 1917. His statue was the first honoring a Native American to be chosen for the collection.
Given by Oklahoma in 1917
National Statuary Hall
U.S. Capitol
Sequoyah, inventor of the Cherokee alphabet, was probably born in 1770 in the Indian town of Taskigi, Tennessee. He was raised by his mother as part of the Cherokee community, with no knowledge of the English language, and he became a hunter and fur trader. After being permanently crippled in a hunting accident, he developed his talent for craftsmanship, making silver ornaments and blacksmithing. Convinced that "talking leaves" would benefit his people, he began in 1809 to devise a table of symbols for the 86 sounds in the Cherokee language. The tribal council approved his work in 1821. Within a few years, thousands of Cherokees learned to read and write in their own language. His alphabet was also adopted by the missionaries.
In 1822 Sequoyah visited Cherokees in Arkansas, and in 1828 he moved with them to Oklahoma. He was active in the political life of the tribe, serving as envoy to Washington in 1828 and helping Cherokees displaced from eastern lands. The National Cherokee Council honored him with a medal, which he proudly wore for the rest of his life, and later with an annuity of $300, which his widow continued to receive after his death.
Sequoyah fell ill and died in 1843 while searching for a band of Cherokees who, by tradition, had moved into Mexico before the revolution. The location of his grave is unknown. His memory is perpetuated in the names of two species of redwood trees.

in news that should come as a surprise to no one here, Republicans are apparently religious kooks. some 68% of registered Republicans believe that the devil can possess a human soul. frankly i'm surprised the number isn't higher. if i had to guess the number is closer to 99% among Republican elected officials.
i haven't been around here much lately. i've spent a lot of time recently volunteering for the Obama campaign in my local area. hopefully i can spend more time here once this election is over. i hope everyone is well, and regardless of your political affiliation please go vote next Tuesday!

Thanks for volunteering. I commend you for taking the time to help out with the election.
I'm not surprised by the percentage of believers in devil-possessed souls. Since most theists believe we have souls, and that god is the "good" force in the universe, and that we are constantly fighting an internal battle between good and evil, it stands to reason that "dark forces" can take over if we're vulnerable enough to allow it to happen.
right, but keep in mind this isn't about believers, it's about Republicans. i guess anymore they're largely one in the same.
i've seen many of these articles as well. i've even posted a few here for discussion. with the democratic micro targeting strategy, i wouldn't be surprised if we've already been targeted and just don't know it yet. eventually, i hope it would be more direct and overt. we'll see.
You have my admiration and gratitude for volunteering. Very much.
I was going to say something snarky about devilish Repubs but someone already did. Dick Cheney as my vote as being the most satainc, with GWBush as his puppet.
thanks. my achillies are paying the price though. i knocked on nearly 1000 doors over 4 days. it's very hilly in my town as well.
thanks Pat. you can thank the religious right for my involvement. were it not for them i'd have been sitting comfortably on my couch. i got involved b/c they freaked me out, and unfortunately they dominate the Republican Party.

There are two popular options for virtualization software: VMware Fusion and Parallels. But which is better? MacTech did a detailed comparison and they found out that there was an obvious winner when it came to handling graphics.
Sure, if you're seriously into playing games odds are that you're not going to rely on either Parallels Desktop or on VMware Fusion or care about which handles graphics better. But either way, MacTech's indepth comparison is worth a look if you ever need something other than Mac OS X on your Mac. [MacTech via TUAW]

The first time I ate Jerk Chicken, was at a pop up Caribbean food stall near Haymarket Station, it was served with some tasty rice with red kidney beans and the most deliciously sweet plantain. Ever since I have been waiting to experiment and make this spicy chicken at home. Please resist the temptation of using a jerk sauce out of a bottle, it's almost a crime because in the recipe I used from the BBC Good Food guide,it makes preparing the marinade a thing of joy. Not only will you learn how each ingredient lends its individual flavour but you van learn how to adjust the "heat" in this amazing marinade. An advance warning, if you have sensitive skin PLEASE use gloves to marinate the chicken as Scotch Bonnet peppers are PACKED with heat. Ensure you THOROUGHLY wash your hands after you handle these "hot babies" too! Humm now for the recipe, it's essentially what was in the original but of course I have added my own touches and I think they make quite an impact 🙂 so read on folks.
- For Jerk Chicken:
- 12 chicken thighs with bone
- 1 big gralic sliced through the middle to go in the oven
- 2 lemons halved to go in the baking tray
- 1 pair of clean gloves if you have sensitive skin - to marinate the chicken
- For the Jerk marinade:
- 4 Garlic Cloves de-skinned
- 1 small red onion
- 1 bunch fresh spring onion roughly chopped
- 1 piece ginger size that fits inside your closed fist, washed,skinned and roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp thyme - I had none so I used 1 tbsp of Mixed Italian herb powder
- 3 scotch bonnet chillies, de-seeded if you cannot handle very spicy
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oil - I used sunflower
- 4 heaped tbsp brown sugar - I used dark muscovado sugar
- 1 tbsp ground allspice powder
- Juice of 1 lime
- Blitz all the ingredients for the marinade in the mixer/food processor/blender and make a thick paste, do not add water as far as possible to ensure a thick puree like grainy paste
- wash and dekin the chicken thighs and make cuts using a knife
- Then generously apply the marinade paste all over rubbing into the cuts made to ensure the flavour really seaps into the chicken.
- Marinate overnight in the fridge.Cover vessel with cling film.
- Keep about 2 tbsp marinade aside for adding in the baking tray.
- When you are ready to prepare the chicken pre-heat the oven to 180 - 200 C , I have a fan oven.
- Prepare the baking tray by greasing with some oil ,place the marinated chicken pieces and surround them with the lime slices and place the garlic halved.
- Cook in the oven for about 45 minutes or until juices run clear.
- When the chicken is in the oven start with the rice
- 200g Basmati Rice
- 400g Coconut Milk can
- 1 bunch fresh spirng onion finely chopped
- 2 large sprigs of fresh thyme
- 2 large cloves of garlic skinned and chopped very fine
- 1 tbsp ground allspice
- 200g green peas
- Wash the Basmati rice under cold running tap water
- In a heavy bottomed vessel, add the washed rice and coconut milk, chopped spring onions,thyme,garlic chopped and all spice
- Add 300 ml water ,mix and add salt to season.
- Cook with lid on a medium flame till water begins to boil
- Stir with a wooden spatula and then add the green peas
- Reduce flame and do not cover completely, leave a bit of space for the steam to pass.
- Cook until done.
Although the recipe I followed, uses red kidney beans since I was already using them in my Caribbean Sweet Mini Pepper Salad , I choose green peas for my Coconut Rice. I made my own home made replacement for allspice powder too , it's very easy and I intend to make it fresh each time I need instead of the store bought one, simply because its so quick and fun to make! Actually allspice is a spice by itself but it tastes similar to a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and pepper.
Also Known As:
- Jamaican pepper
- Newspice "
Home made all-Spice Powder recipe:
- 1 heaped tbsp Cinnamon powder or if you have a cinnamon stick take one abt the half as tall as your thumb.
- 1 small tbsp pepper powder
- 1 heaped tbsp of cloves
- 1 full nutmeg grated
- In a pestle and mortar mix the ingredients and grate the nutmeg into it.
- Then smash together to makes a grainy powder.
- Some bits of the clove you may not be able to grind fine, I wouldn't worry about it unless you want a fine powder then the smallest attachment on your mixer. I have an Indian mixer which I use for my coconut chutneys and it has 3 jars I used the one with 3 blades .Or else just use the pestle and mortar it should work.
- Store away the remaining home made allspice replacement powder in a tiny air tight container.
A note about the brown sugar vs. dark muscovado sugar
Dark Muscovado sugar is the unrefined form of brown sugar ,its stickier ,heavier,has a longer shelf life than refined sugars and adds a more intense flavour to marinades and since it is stable at high temperatures is great for baking.If you do not have brown sugar its ok to replace it with dark Muscovado sugar. Although as the water content dark muscovado holds is higher one should accordingly taper the use of water in the recipe.
Brown sugar is white sugar and molasses and hence the colour and soft texture. It has the light and dark brown sugar varieties and the lighter it is the milder the flavour.
I am linking this post to the Flavours of the Caribbean event, run by Nayna on her blog Simply.Food and guest hosted by Tina on her blog The Spicy Pear.
