authors are trying different things, too If the new technologies are changing the way people cook, they're also changing the way authors write. Baking expert Dorie Greenspan says apps allows her to offer tips and advice that she couldn't in a printed cookbook -- for instance, demonstrating what "room temperature" butter looks like (it should hold a fingerprint). Greenspan says it forced her to re- think her recipes and communicate them in a different way. "If you beat the butter and sugar and eggs and flour, what do you call that in spin view?" she says. "It challenged me to do things that I never do, to dissect the recipe, reconstruct it and to keep in mind 'Will it make sense? Will it track?'" But book lovers need not mourn the death of print just yet. Eat Your Books fan Mary-Claire v...
With a box full of carrots and a hankering for something vaguely exotic, Mary-Claire van Leunen turned to her computer for a recipe. I looked for 'Turkish carrots' and I found it easily, in fact I found half a dozen," said the retired Seattle software researcher.
What They're Saying "This is probably the biggest higher-ed scandal of the year that I'm aware of," said Paul Fain, staff reporter for The Chronicle of Higher Education, which covers college leaders and has covered WVU's degree scandal. ' Claire Van Ummerson, vice president for the Center for Effective Leadership with the American Council on Education, said she believes WVU is a very strong, well-respected institution nationally in terms of its research and its instructional prowess, and the school can move through any current bad press.
THE SQUARE -- *** -- David Roberts, Claire van der Boom, Joel Edgerton; rated R (violence, profanity, sex, gore, vulgarity, slurs, torture); Broadway Centre Things go seriously awry in "The Square." And by things going awry, that means the lives of the characters involved, not the film itself.
With its satchel full of ill-gotten cash looming over the characters like the iconic root of all evil, The Square initially feels like a riff on Sam Raimi's early gem A Simple Plan, but, remarkably, it's that film's equal- at least, thanks to heatgenerating performances from a smart, tight cast and a watertight story. Middleaged Ray (David Roberts) works in construction and appears to be leading a charmed life, until you get a glimpse of the way he looks at his neighbor's wife, Carla (Claire van der Boom), and then you can't help but start making mental funeral arrangements for the poor sap.

So, stuntman-turned- director Nash Edgerton, writing with Matthew Dabner and his brother [Joel Edgerton], sticks us in The Square, whose rigid geometry tempers a plenitude of twists into a finite number of sharp, enclosing corners. It's a nifty little neo-noir thriller and may even qualify as a horror movie as well, given its characters' customary series of unfortunate choices: adultery, arson, blackmail, homicide and insufficient foresight to keep a cell phone battery charged in case of emergency. Ray (David Roberts) is a middle-class construction supervisor in a small Australian town - a man ostensibly too clean for the dirty work he oversees. But not for long. He's already taking contractor kickbacks, and there is also the matter of Garla (Claire van der Boom), a woman Ray loves who ...
