Gwyneth Paltrow wants you to know that, just like millions of women, she is a working mom with nonstop demands on her increasingly shrinking daily schedule. She understands. And she's here to tell you how to do it right.
Never mind that she is an A-list actress from a distinguished Hollywood family married to a multi-platinum selling rock star. She understands. And she's here to tell you how to do it right.
Paltrow's lifestyle site GOOP has been drawing fire since its inception, from Paltrow's "simple" style choices that involve thousand dollar boots to her "simple" getaway suggestions to exotic and insanely-expensive locales. Now, Paltrow has once again inserted her virtual foot in her cyber mouth by explaining to working moms how best to manage their hectic schedules while still having plenty of "me" time for exercise and quiet reflection. Assuming, of course, they also have a staff, flexible job hours, and plenty of rainy day money.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Today Moms is taking Paltrow to task over her comments, pointing out once again how out of touch she and her Goop site are by dissecting Paltrow's alleged "schedule" and weighing it against elements like "reality," the "space time continuum" and the "planet Earth."
Today Moms' Rebecca Dube explains that a reader-submitted email prompted the "Country Strong" star to ponder the struggles of "other" working moms. "Oh yes, she said other," writes Dube. "As in, other extremely busy working mothers like her, the fabulously wealthy movie star wife of a rock star. Just so we can all see how it's done, she gives us the run-down of a typical "manic" day in her life."

|Drug: vorinostat Drug: gemtuzumab ozogamicin Drug: azacitidine
|Phase 1 Phase 2
I. Determine the vorinostat dose with the most favorable efficacy and toxicity when combined with azacitidine and GO.
I. Describe the complete response (CR)/ CR with inadequate recovery (CRi) rate after a total of 6 cycles of therapy.
II. Describe the disease-free survival of patients that achieve CR/CRi. III. Determine whether acute myeloid leukemia (AML) characteristics associated with preclinical GO efficacy predict for clinical benefit, and assess whether differentiation-inducing agents modulate these characteristics and lower the apoptotic threshold for calicheamicin-gamma1-induced cytotoxicity (in vitro correlative and mechanistic studies).
OUTLINE: This is phase I, dose-escalation study of vorinostat followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive vorinostat orally (PO) on days 1-9, azacitidine subcutaneously (SC) or intravenously (IV) over 10-40 minutes on days 1-7, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV over 2 hours on day 4 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 3 years.

Committee Opinion Number 748, August 2018
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 639, September 2015)(Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Information from vital records is critical to identify and quantify health-related issues and to measure progress toward quality improvement and public health goals. In particular, maternal and infant mortality serve as important indicators of the nation's health, thereby influencing policy development, funding of programs and research, and measures of health care quality. Accurate and timely documentation of births and deaths is essential to high-quality vital statistics. This Committee Opinion describes the process by which births, maternal deaths, and fetal deaths are registered;...
Committee Opinion Number 622, February 2015
(Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Digital and social media quickly are becoming universal in modern medical practice. Data sharing, online reviews and ratings, and digital privacy concerns likely will become a part of most every physician's practice, regardless of his or her use of social media. The widespread use of social media in the United States brings unprecedented connectivity that opens new horizons for physicians, ranging from interactions with patients, to communication with peers and the public, to novel approaches to research.
Committee Opinion Number 621, January 2015
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 472, November 2010)
ABSTRACT: The advantages of health information technology (IT) include facilitating communication between health care providers; improving medication safety, tracking, and reporting; and promoting quality of care through optimized access to and adherence to guidelines. Health IT systems permit the collection of data for use for quality management, outcome reporting, and public health disease surveillance and reporting. However, improvement is needed with all health IT, especially regarding design, implementation, and integration between platforms within the work environment. Robust interopera...
Committee Opinion Number 546, December 2012
(Replaces No. 461, August 2010) (Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: An accurate and effective tracking or reminder system is useful for the modern practice of obstetrics and gynecology. Practices should not rely solely on the patient to complete all ordered studies and to follow up on health care provider recommendations. Health care providers should encourage their patients to complete studies believed essential for patient care within an acceptable time frame. Each office should establish a simple, reliable tracking and reminder system to facilitate communication, improve patient safety and quality of care, and minimize missed or delayed diagnoses.

Does anyone have any update on BMW production of taillight replacements? I'm in the US and have European taillights. I see there are LED replacements on eBay. Has anyone had any experience with them (do they work acceptably)? My Z8 has been parked now for almost two years waiting on a solution and I'm determined not to go another summer without it. I've been in contact relentlessly with BMW Europe and US and can't get any information.
Any info would be appreciated.

Get noticed in the crowd
Great looking parcels looks…great! When people see your parcels amongst the crowd of browns they get the message – people are buying from you. Maybe i should too?
Zalando is a great example and you can spot their stuff a mile away!
So go be creative – or just wait for all the rest to clutter the outlets with colored boxes and you will eventually get noticed for your Vintage Brown Cardboards!

The time has come for business people to understand our companies as a part of, not apart from, the natural world; as reliant on, and owing something back to, the human communities our businesses so crucially affect. In a time of economic sea change and ecological crisis, we need to work together around the table to reduce the astonishing environmental cost of everything we make, and to create a more sustainable economy, throughout the supply chain, wherever we do business. No company is an island; the more we work together, the quicker we can put a stop to long-term environmental damage, so that those who come after us inherit a world we would want to live in.
Much of what needs to be done to improve business practices relies on the co-operation of enterprises that compete with one another. Patagonia relies on the brains and resources of several key partners who work to improve labor conditions worldwide, restrict the use of dangerous chemicals, increase transparency of social and environmental practices throughout the supply chain, and help redefine business health to include the safeguarding of natural systems and thriving human communities.

The Movies.com Review: 'Machete Kills' is Just Two Hours of Cameo Appearances and Repetitive Decapitation Gags
There's a drug cartel boss with a missile pointed at Washington, D.C. and the trigger is attached to his heart. That's Oscar-nominee Demian Bichir, by the way, because in this parallel world your past glory or insane failure is irrelevant; you're a meat puppet in Robert Rodriguez's midnight grindhouse double feature (one where the first movie is, naturally, the much-better Machete) and your career achievement reel just got ridiculouser. That's why Charlie Sheen (billed here as his given name, Carlos Estevez) plays the President and Mel Gibson steps one yard to the right of The Beaver and takes on the role of a lunatic science-cult leader. Beloved sitcom star Sofia Vergara is a cannibal hooker with machine gun breasts. Nothing matters.
Seriously nothing. Rodriguez, usually an unsubtle but energetic filmmaker whose best movies are big dumb gut-punches of silly mayhem, has lost a lot of horsepower and possibly the key to his editing room. What could have been 80 minutes of gory, stupid, slyly subversive schlock about what happens when you "mess with the wrong Mexican," the very thing we were all promised by the original manifestation of this murderous character in the fake Grindhouse trailer that birthed him, is now nearly two hours of cool cameo appearances – Lady Gaga, Cuba Gooding Jr, Antonio Banderas and Walton Goggins all play a face-mask-peeling villain named Chameleon -- and repetitive decapitation gags.
Danny Trejo is still reliably monosyllabic, menacing and refreshingly, awesomely fugly, the coolest leading man/action hero Bad Cinema could ask for. He lops off heads and cleaves entire bodies with his signature weapon before using the blade to turn himself into a proper conduit for electrocuting a bad guy. He puts on a tuxedo and glasses in a uselessly Clark Kent-ish disguise as a waiter. He grabs hold of a rocket ship destined to blast into space. He does everything he's supposed to do and there's no alternative to rooting for him. But the film surrounding him is dull where it should be demented and reluctant when it should be raw.
It even damns itself with its own classy looks, bookended by trailer clips from a future sequel titled Machete Kills Again… In Space. Those clips are scratchy, grainy and cheap-looking, like they've been run through the projector too many times and then used as a doormat. By contrast, jarringly and inexplicably, Machete Killsis a bright, clean, recently Windexed stainless steel refrigerator, cold and boxy, full of bland digital treats.
So sure, put this badass in space next time, Robert Rodriguez, make it a trilogy if you need to. Just please remember to chop it up, cook it and serve it hot. Don't leave the man stranded.

The 50 longest airline routes from the U.S. and Canada
Updated Sept. 29, 2014
What are the longest airline routes from North America? It's a question we get frequently at Today in the Sky, so I reached out to the folks at OAG for a definitive answer.
OAG, of course, is a top airline data provider, but they also specialize in airline schedules (OAG once stood for "Official Airline Guide"). To help us answer the question, OAG provided Today in the Sky with the 50 longest regularly scheduled flights that depart from the United States and Canada.
TODAY IN THE SKY:Boeing's 1,500th 747: 'Not your mother's jumbo jet'
IN PHOTOS:The 50 longest airlines routes from the USA and Canada
You can see the list in the above gallery, starting with No. 50 – Vancouver, Canada, to Auckland, New Zealand – and going the whole way through No. 1: Dallas/Fort Worth to Sydney, Australia.
The list was compiled with flights operating as of Oct. 1, 2014, and looks only at departures leaving the U.S. and Canada. The list of "longest" flights is based on the nautical mile-distance of the flights flown. Some recently added flights – such as Emirates' nonstop from Chicago to Dubai and China Southern's from New York to Guangzhou – are recent additions to the "top 50."
ALSO ONLINE:Snapshot: The planes made by U.S. jetmaker Boeing
BOOKMARK:Add Today in the Sky to your favorites
ARCHIVES:Boeing rolls out a mean-looking Seahawks 747 jumbo jet
The list received a big shake-up Sept. 29 when Qantas began flying an Airbus A380 from Dallas/Fort Worth. Previously, the carrier flew nonstop from Sydney to DFW on the U.S.-bound leg, but the return portion – the U.S. departure – stopped in Brisbane. That changed Sept. 29, bumping the previous No. 1 -- Delta's Atlanta-to-Johannesburg nonstop -- to No. 2.
Click through the list to see the 50 longest U.S. and Canadian departures as of Aug. 12.

"Ray of Hope:" ABCNews Claims Yesterday's One-Day Market Rally Due to Obama's Mortgage Cramdown Plan
Okay. And the markets declined for a month before that and they're declining again today.
Is that due to the cramdown? Or is only positive market news attributable to The One's plans?
I think we know the answer.
The MSM is flailing desperately to prop up the product they bamboozled us into buying. But spin only carries so far.

Armyworms are on the march
Wednesday, May 16, 2012
COLUMBIA -- True armyworms are on the march this spring, and farmers need to be checking fields to make sure their crops aren't among the casualties.
|"They often can take out an entire pasture of fescue or other grasses because numbers get so high, and also cut the heads off of wheat and feed on corn," said Wayne Bailey, University of Missouri Extension state entomologist. "We know Arkansas is having a big problem with this insect in their grass pastures, and we think that problem is now spilling over into the lower three or four tiers of Missouri counties."
|Armyworm moths typically fly into Missouri from Mexico and southern states in spring. Each moth lays up to 1,300 eggs, and when the worms hatch they start feeding on crops.
|This year, insects emerged early in southern climates and then migrated north ahead of schedule, thanks to unusually warm weather.
|Fields might look fine, but armyworms work on plants from the bottom up. Once they chew through lower leaves they move up the grass stems. By the time damage is visible from a distance, it's often too late.
|If left unchecked, armyworms can decimate crops in just a few days.
|"For example, if armyworms start cutting heads in wheat, they can take off 2-3 percent of heads the first day, 50 percent the second day and finish a crop off the third day if populations are elevated," Bailey said.
|True armyworms got their name because they can move in a mass, marching in lines from one destroyed field to their next feeding ground. While there are two or three generations of the insect each year, the first one causes most damage to field and forage crops. They are called true armyworms to differentiate them from fall armyworms, which show up toward the middle of the growing season.
|When small, the worms tend to be green, but as they grow they typically turn a tan color, with tan stripes and one orange stripe down their sides. These worms have four sets of prolegs in the midsection and one set on the back end characterized by a black triangle at the feet.
|To scout, farmers need to look near the ground in pastures and fields.
|"You really have to scout in late afternoon or early morning or on cloudy days. You have to get down and look through the leaf litter on the ground and at the lower leaves of the plant," Bailey said. "You are looking for areas that have been eaten with very smooth edges, and for larvae."
|The economic threshold at which it becomes profitable to spray insecticides depends on the number of worms. If there are more than four half-grown worms per square foot in grass pastures or wheat fields, farmers should consider spraying.
Pre-harvest intervals--the time between spraying and grazing or haying--range from zero to 14 days, depending on the insecticide.

In case you missed it: Colorado women's golf loses its top player
The Colorado women's golf program qualified for the NCAA championship final for the first time in its history last spring. Now the Buffaloes will face a tougher climb to get back there.
Junior-to-be Alex Stewart, arguably Colorado's top player in her only season at CU, has left the program, Buffs coach Anne Kelly announced this week.
Stewart led the Buffs with a 73.81 stroke average, earned individual honors at the Sugar Bowl tournament and recorded six top-10 finishes.
Stewart played her freshman year at Purdue. Following her lone season at Colorado, she was cited as an honor student by the coaches association.
In a statement, Kelly said she is "disappointed" but wishes Stewart well in her future endeavors. Stewart, who was home-schooled in California, cited a desire to play closer to home. Her parents recently relocated to Oklahoma City, according to CU.
Kelly already had to replace departed seniors Emily Talley and Jess Wallace. Two 2011-12 starters return: juniors-to-be Jenny and Kristin Coleman. The identical twins from the Los Angeles area will be juniors.
I never second-guess an athlete's desire to play close to home. Nor, for that matter, an athlete that shuns the home-town school with a desire to experience something else.
I enjoyed speaking with Stewart during CU's run to the NCAA Tournament. I, too, wish her well. And I hope that at her third stop she develops a greater loyalty to her new program and takes ownership in it.

I have a custom post type and I want to be able to control the order that the posts are displayed by defining the order in an array, and then checking the posts meta_value against the array to see where it should sit in the order of posts.
Using the code below I can get the dealers who's 'Postcode' is one of the values defined in the $target_postcodes array of the 10 closest postcodes to the current users location.
$posts = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'dealer',
'meta_key' => 'Postcode',
'meta_value' => $target_postcodes,
'post_status' => 'publish'
Is it possible for me to sort the posts by the order of the values in the 'meta_values' query?
For example, if we use the following post values:
[Name] [Postcode]
Dealer 1 1234
Dealer 2 2345
Dealer 3 3456
Dealer 4 4567
And then the define the $target_postcodes array as
$target_postcodes = 4567,1234,3456,2345
I would then want the loop to display the dealers in the following order
Dealer 4
Dealer 1
Dealer 3
Dealer 2
Thanks, Brad

Two months after undergoing surgery for brain cancer, beloved former Phillie Darren Daulton gathered with friends and family on Monday to raise money for his foundation.
"It's like family," Daulton said. "It really is. Whenever I'm part of one of these things, it's like family."
Daulton was joined by several Phillies players from the 1993 World Series team for a golf outing at the LuLu Country Club in Glenside, Pennsylvania. In July, two tumors were removed from Daulton's brain. He is still undergoing treatment for glioblastoma in Tampa, Florida.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
"I've got two more weeks left and then they'll get another treatment," Daulton said.
The golf outing raised about $50,000, all of which will go towards Daulton's medical and living expenses.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Phillies run to the World Series in 1993. Daulton's teammate, John Kruk as well as Tommy Greene, Mitch Williams, Milt Thompson, Danny Jackson and Pat Burrell attended Monday's fundraiser.
While Daulton's recovery is far from over, the legendary Phillies catcher says he's grateful to be alive.
"I've seen the script and it's not always great," Daulton said. "But I'm recognizing this as one that is and I'm loving it."

Gardens are getting smaller and gardening time is getting shorter – that has been true for several years now and will probably continue to be true. But another prevailing trend is that container gardening is strong and getting stronger, not only because of time and space, but because containers offer quick satisfaction with minimal effort. You don't have to be trained in design to create stunning focal points for your garden; you just need to follow a few simple guidelines to set yourself up for success.
The first guideline is to start with a container that inspires you and will support the cast of characters that you will put into it. Next, use a quality potting mix, buy reliable plants that will survive their season and fertilize regularly, and of course, adequately water. Throughout this article you will see some plants repeated in containers, and that's because they have proven themselves over the years to survive nature's duress and still look stunning. So, let's take a look at some of them.
Exciting Tropicals
Plants that are commonly used indoors make exciting and lush containers when the night temperatures stay well above freezing. Leaf texture, shape and color dominate this type of planting but occasionally you will find exotic flowers that can be the center of attention.
Alocasia x amazonica – Zebra Plant
Asplenium nidus – Bird's Nest Fern
Eucomis 'Sparkling Burgundy'
Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' – Creeping Jenny
Muehlenbeckia – Creeping Wire Vine
Bletilla striata – Chinese Ground Orchid
Alocasia or Colocasia – Large Elephant Ears
Alocasia x amazonica – Zebra Plant
Cyperus albostriatus 'Variegatus' – Dwarf Papyrus
New Guinea Impatiens
Polypodium aureum 'Blue Crisp Fern' Grass
Ipomoea 'Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Light Green' – Sweet Potato Vine
Asparagus meyeri – Foxtail Asparagus Fern
Versatile Caladiums
Caladiums, hostas and ferns make a great combination to start a container. Have fun adding other plants to make a colorful statement. Look for caladiums that have been bred to tolerate the sun to extend your placement options.
Hosta 'Fire and Ice' Caladium
Polypodium aureum 'Blue Crisp Fern'
Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' – Creeping Jenny
Large Alocasia or Colocasia – Upright Elephant Ears
Caladium, Fern, Ivy
Dragon Wing Begonia
Dragon Wing Begonia
Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' – Creeping Jenny
Lysimachia congestiflora
Hypoestes phyllostachya – Polka Dot Plant
Liriope muscari 'Evergreen Giant'
Modern Settings
For a more modern setting, choose a large container with simple lines and a bold color. Add plants with big leaves, bright colors and unusual textures
Large Alocasia or Colocasia– Upright Elephant Ears
Cyperus papyrus 'King Tut'
Coleus ColorBlaze LifeLime
Begonia Mandalay Mandarin
Lysimachia congestiflora
Equisetum hyemale – Horsetail reed
Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' – Creeping Jenny
Hosta, Heuchera and Solomon's Seal
Succulents are perfect for those areas that get a lot of sun but not much water. Unusual containers can be the point of interest here with the plants adding texture. Window boxes, which are often very hard to access, are also ideal for succulents – seek out ones that cascade to soften the edge of the box.
Kalanchoe luciae - Flapjack
Kalanchoe tomentosa – Panda Plant
Echeveria 'Black Prince'
Sempervivum 'Red Rubin'
Sedum spurium 'Voodoo' and 'Red Carpet'
Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy'
Kalanchoe luciae - Flapjack
Sedum spurium 'Voodoo' and 'Red Carpet'
Sedeveria hybrid
Sedum nussbaumerianum 'Coppertone'
Succulents combine to create a lush, textured and easy-to-maintain container.
Coleus now come in so many different colors, sizes and sun tolerance that they should be considered in every arrangement.
Coleus: Big Red Judy, Velvet Mocha, 'Gay's Delight', Pink Chaos
Muehlenbeckia axillaris – Creeping Wire Vine
Ajuga reptans 'Black Scallop'
Winter Color
Winter containers usually call for the same old pansies but by combining them with conifers, grasses and shrubs, you can get a year-round container by just changing out the pansies in summer. The addition of garden accessories adds sparkle.
Aucuba japonica – Gold Dust Plant
Carex testacea – Orange Sedge
Juniper chinensis 'Torulosa'
Heuchera 'Caramel'
Sedum 'Angelina'
Sedum Lemon Coral
Metal mushrooms
Juniperus chinensis 'Blue and Gold'
Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Goshiki'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Lutea'
Nandina 'Firepower'
Liriope muscari 'Evergreen Giant'
Ivy, Pansies, Twigs
Pansies and More
Combining pansies with tall, textured plants increases the pansies' impact in a pot. Don't be afraid to use any plant that is hardy to your area. A "pot in a pot" is also a great way to use plants that need different soil requirements, such as cold hardy sedums.
Sedum 'Tricolor'
Sedum 'Blue Spruce'
Acorus gramineus 'Ogon'
Kale – lacinato
Parsley, Snapdragons, Pansies
Vegetables and Herbs
Vegetables and herbs add amazing color and texture to a container and have the added attraction of being edible.
Lettuce, Nasturtium, Chives
Anything is fair game when it comes to containers – it really is all about letting your creative self run free. Don't be afraid to mix succulents with annuals and perennials. If watering is an issue, place succulents in separate pots with their own soil mix and then into the larger container. Vegetables can go in any container, even if it is just for the foliage. Conifers and grasses are the ultimate marriage of textures and easy maintenance. Houseplants rule in the summertime. Trees are four-season winners. And don't forget to add fun accessories like ceramic mushrooms for extra color and sparkle. But the most important guideline – have fun!

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) Tony Woods scored 14 points for Oregon, including the go-ahead dunk in the final minutes, as the Ducks held on to defeat Arizona State 68-65 on Sunday night.
Damyean Dotson and Carlos Emory scored 14 points apiece for Oregon (14-2, 3-0 Pac-12), and Dominic Artis added 10.
Jahii Carson scored 20 points, and Evan Gordon had 17 for the Sun Devils (14-3, 3-1).
Carson's potential game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer was wide.

Oregon went 7 of 8 from the free-throw line in the final minute to seal the win.
The Ducks used a 7-2 run in the final 3 minutes of the first half to lead 32-28 at halftime.

- Summary
The ultimate slicer for everything from crusty artisan loaves to soft, buttery brioche, this precision knife has a unique scalloped blade for top performance. The large and small scallops work together to ensure efficient slicing—without tearing and with fewer crumbs. The extra-long blade allows you to slice even the widest European-style loaves. The blade's width raises the handle off the cutting board, leaving plenty of room for knuckle clearance as you slice cleanly through the bottom crust. A special arched bolster, designed by architect Matteo Thun, promotes a perfect thumb grip to ensure unrivaled comfort.
- Knife is precision forged using Zwilling's Sigmaforge process, resulting in an exceptionally hard yet flexible blade.
- Zwilling's Friodur ice-hardening technique results in a harder, sharper blade that is corrosion resistant and highly elastic.
- Precise lasers are used to ensure each blade's edge is at the optimal cutting angle for maximum sharpness.
- Arched bolster perfectly supports the thumb for ultimate comfort, safety and precise handling. Also allows the full length of the edge to be sharpened, from tip to end.
- The sleek ABS resin handle is triple riveted to the blade and contoured for a secure, comfortable grip.
- Made in Germany by Zwilling J.A. Henckels, founded in 1731.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 8"-long blade.
- 5" handle.
- 6.5 oz.
- Made in Germany.
- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
- Maintain the knife's cutting edge by regularly using a honing steel.
- Sharpen knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TDactyl from Excellent carving and bread knife This knife is fantastic. It slices through a cake like it was soft butter (and the blade is, in fact, longer than many cakes) but also did a great job carving the Thanksgiving turkey. A worthy investment.Date published: 2015-02-11

The Change Matters viewer from Esri can show how your area has changed over a given time period, say for instance, from 1988 to 1990. Las Vegas is known for its phenomenal sprawl over the past four decades. Time-lapseimages from the Landsat earth monitoring satellites reveal in false-color, multispectral imagery how urban sprawl has stretched out from Nevada's "Sin City" over the past four decades.
This latest video was posted by NASA in honor of the 28th anniversary of Landsat 5's launch on March 1, but the pictures actually go back to 1972, when the Landsat program began.

On Thursday, Jets offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo said that the left guard rotation involving starter Matt Slauson and Ducasse wasn't his doing but came from upper management. The conclusion drawn by many is that Ducasse is being force-fed snaps in order to justify his high selection in the 2010 NFL Draft. The Jets Blog spoke with two NFL talent evaluators, one from the AFC and another from the NFC, about Ducasse and their thoughts on him.
Both individuals spoke on the condition of anonymity because they're not allowed to make statements to the media per the policy of their respective teams.
On Ducasse coming out three years ago:
The NFC Scout – "I liked him but I thought he was raw. He didn't have a whole lot of pedigree coming out of UMass but you liked his potential. Tremendous hips from what I remember but his technique was raw. To be honest, he was a reach in the second round. We had him graded third or fourth round from what I remember."
On Ducasse's development:
The AFC Scout - "I haven't seen his every game but from what I've seen, he hasn't seemed to polish his game much. He's still that really raw, really inexperienced kid we saw in college. Physically he's improved and seems to have shaped his body better. We always liked his work ethic but we weren't going to go for him in the second round with an offensive line that [we had] at the time that was good and in their prime. He was a project and perhaps he still is."
On Ducasse's ceiling:
The NFC Scout – "I think this is his second offensive line coach now in three years and that won't help his confidence much but [DeGuglielmo] is a tough coach. He will get the most out of him. Can Ducasse turn that raw talent and physical strength into solid blocking? Right now, I don't think so necessarily. He's probably best as a rotation guy who can get plugged in throughout the line. He's still young though and I think in another year or two he could be a starter for some team."
On Ducasse competing against Slauson:
The AFC Scout – "I don't think it is close between the two of them. Slauson is a very underrated guard."

Chicago in 1960. . . New York in 1962. . . Cannes, France in 1967. . . .
all sites of world meetings of Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart's International Group.
The recent meeting at Cannes was the largest in firm history,
predictably so since Touche, Ross now ranks as one of the top five accounting firms
in international capabilities. As managing partner Robert Beyer said
in his keynote address, "We are moving rapidly upward!
And this -- we intend -is only the beginning of the story."
Despite the delightful climate on the French Riviera,
and the enticement of the Mediterranean just a few feet away from the meeting rooms
in the Festival Palace, delegates were busy from the 9:00 a.m. opening
and past the official closing hour at 5:00 p.m..
In all, 98 delegates from offices in Argentina, Australia, Barbados,
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan,
Jamaica, Mexico, Netherlands, Panama, Philippines, Puerto Rico,
South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the U.S.A. were present
Highlights of the speeches and the technical seminars are on the next pages,
as well as photos of the meeting itself. For offices where work pressures
made it impossible to send delegates, the International Coordinating Office
prepared a transcript of all proceedings.

A 300 seat riverside theatre in the heart of the city, Norwich Playhouse is a friendly, relaxed and intimate venue developed from a Georgian maltings. Come in - have a look around - something is always happening!
We programme a broad range of shows all year round, performed by top companies from all over the world. As well as being recognised as one of the very best comedy venues in East Anglia we present international music stars, critically-acclaimed drama companies, fun-filled children's events and shows that are just a bit…different. From firm musical favourites to fresh new writing, and from well-established stars to the pick of the newcomers, the Playhouse offers something for everyone.
We have an award-winning garden – a beautiful spot on a summer evening – and two busy galleries exhibiting a variety of works by local artists.
We also have a great bar, selling wines and spirits, local ales, fresh juices, hot cocktails, Fairtrade drinks and German beers with unpronounceable names. You can pre-order interval drinks and then stay afterwards for the lovely music and happy chatter of the clientele.
The Playhouse opened in 1995 in what had formerly been a 19th Century maltings. In the interim, the building had been the Crown Public House, the head office of the Norwich Mercury Newspaper, the depot for Ruymps builders' merchants, the warehouse of a motor-cycle dealer and a Greek restaurant!
In all, from launch to opening, the project of creating the theatre with its open end-stage took six years. It was undertaken by Henry Burke, the founder, and the consultant Iain Macintosh of Theatre Projects. They worked with a team of experts headed by local architects Lambert Scott and Innes.
The cost was £2,500,000, of which an astonishing 80% was raised from private individuals and small businesses. Grants of £400,000 from the Arts Council Lottery Fund and £100,000 from the Foundation for Sport and the Arts made up the balance.
When the Playhouse opened in December 1995 the national press called it "warm... welcoming... a cause for celebration... a great new space..." It is an excellent building with pleasant front of house facilities and good disabled access. Excellent acoustics, sightlines and legroom all create a friendly relationship between audience and performers.
January 2000 saw the start of a new life as a receiving house, and since November 2003, the Playhouse was in a merged management agreement with the Norwich Theatre Royal, a very positive step for both establishments the Playhouse is now part of the organisation that is Theatre Royal (Norwich) Trust Limited and all employed at the Playhouse are now Theatre Royal employees under the responsibility of the Theatre Royal Trustees.
