In iOS folders, you can only put 12 icons of your apps and you can't add more.
When iOS 5 was released a few weeks ago, a trick allowing you to put the Newsstand icon into a folder but it will crash when you try to open it. The same trick allows you to put all your apps in a single folder.
Still, if you decide to keep your device unjailbroken, there is a little hope: a flaw in iOS 5 allows you to put folders inside other folders. Check it out after the jump!
It is based on the same flaw in iOS 5 which was used to place the annoying Newsstand app icon – which is essentially a folder itself – inside a folder.
It's simple: drag an app icon – any app icon – on another app icon to create folder A, grab folder B which you want to place inside folder A and place it right beside folder A before dragging folder B on top of it to create a folder within the folder.
In the same way, you can hide other folders inside of a folder as well. You would just drag an app onto another app to create a folder, then put the folder you want into it right before the folder appears on your screen, then drop it inside.
The bad thing about this trick is that when you try the other folder inside the main folder, your springboard will crash. This is surely a bug in iOS 5 and maybe Apple would fix it in the final iOS 5.0.1 release.

What's the point, then? Although I already have a jailbroken iOS device – and I useFolderEnhancer for, well, enhancing folders – this is quite useful if you want to hide those un-installable stock apps inside a subfolder which you will never use. That's just about the only conceivable use for this.
If you do decide to jailbreak your iOS 5 device, you can always install a tweak like Infinifolders or FolderEnhancer so you can put unlimited apps inside a folder and even put folders inside folders.

California State University, Chico's College of Business, in partnership with Shasta College in Redding, has formed a new community advisory board to support an enhanced and more locally relevant bachelor's degree in business administration in Redding.
The board's first meeting is slated for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 24, at the Shasta College University Center, 1400 Market Street in downtown Redding. CSU, Chico President Paul Zingg and College of Business Dean Judith Hennessey will host the inaugural meeting.
Invited community advisory board members are
- Missy McArthur, Mayor, City of Redding
- Jake Mangas, President and CEO, Redding Chamber of Commerce
- Bruce Ross, Congressional District Director, California First Assembly District
- Lee W. Salter, President and CEO, McConnell Foundation
- Michael Sloan, Dean; Business, Agriculture, Industry, Technology & Safety; Shasta College
- Scott Gordon, Director, Business Administration Department, Shasta College
- Ted Kromer, Faculty Emeritus, CSU, Chico Department of Management
- James Sager, Department Chair, CSU, Chico Department of Business Information Systems
- Michael Rehg, Department Chair, CSU, Chico Department of Management
- Debra Barger, Dean, CSU, Chico Regional & Continuing Education
- Dan Greaney, Coordinator, CSU, Chico Regional & Continuing Education
In fall 2015, the College of Business initiated a transition in the Bachelor of Business Administration degree (emphasis in supply chain management) to a more broadly applicable management emphasis in Redding. The business administration program is a degree-completion offering in which students complete lower-division coursework at Shasta College, then take their upper-division classes through CSU, Chico at the University Center in Redding.
The new management emphasis will provide more high-impact classroom practices, including hands-on, community-based problem solving, face-to-face instruction and program-credited internships in the Redding community. Students will also benefit from a reliable block schedule of courses in the late afternoon and evening, enabling degree completion in as few as two years or at a pace that comfortably suits students' needs.
"It is a great honor to host regional leaders in Redding in our quest to deliver an excellent program in partnership with Shasta College and the regional civic and business community," Hennessey said. "The new business administration program is an affordable option for students living in Redding and wanting to complete a professionally accredited business administration program in four years.
"In addition to the business administration program, we look to advance our collaboration with Shasta College and the community's business leaders in support of expanding job opportunities and the economic development of the region."
The media is invited to interview community advisory board members after the meeting (or by appointment). For appointment interviews, please contact CSU, Chico Public Affairs Coordinator Sarah Langford at 530-898-4260. The community advisory board meeting is not open to the public.
For more information about the University's programming in Redding contact Dan Greaney, Coordinator, Regional & Continuing Education, at 530-339-3652 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit http://rce.csuchico.edu/redding.
The CSU, Chico College of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International). The college is recognized as a leader in teaching excellence and student job readiness. Learn more about the college at https://www.csuchico.edu/cob.

Baby Bonnet
Pattern description from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts: "This baby bonnet is so beautiful and special that it's hard to believe how simple it is to make. The body of the bonnet is knitted in the shape of an upside down T, or a horizontal rectangle with a square of fabric removed from each of the upper right and left corners. The edges of the inside angles are brought together and seamed. The contrasting I-cord border also functions as ties for the bonnet. The yarn is Rowan's Kid Classic, a soft blend of wool and kid mohair. The slightly heathered, warm color scheme lends an Early American look to this piece."
Finished Measurements: To fit head circumference up to 17.5" (44.5 cm), about 6-24 months. With bonnet lying flat, 6.5" (16.5 cm) high from lower edge to top of crown, and 6.5 " (16.5 cm) deep from front I-cord trim to back fold.
Yarn: Rowan Kid Classic (70% lambswool, 26% kid mohair, 4% nylon; 151 yards 140 meters / 50 grams): #817 bear (brown) and #842 peach sorbet (pink), 1 skein each.
Needles: One set straight needles size US 8 (5 mm). One set straight nedles size US 10 (6 mm). Two double-pointed needles size US 9 (5.5 mm) for I-cord edging. Change needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Yarn needle, scissors, stitch holder.

For the fourth quarter, which for many companies ends in December, 72 S&P 500 companies have issued earnings warnings, twice as many as have issued positive guidance, according to FactSet. Earnings growth rates have been revised lower by companies in all 11 S&P sectors.
It's possible the S&P could have earnings growth of more than 15 percent for the fourth quarter, but that would be below the 25 percent notched for each of the previous three quarters, FactSet research said.
And analysts are now looking for single-digit earnings growth for the next three quarters of this year. While fourth-quarter 2018 earnings growth is projected to be 11.4 percent, the first-quarter projection is for 2.9 percent growth, then 3.7 percent in the second quarter and 4.3 percent in the third.
"In the last three months of 2018, markets were pricing in no earnings growth, and perhaps even negative growth, in 2019," said Earnings Scout's Nick Raich. "The good news is that markets likely overshot just how much 2019 EPS estimates were going to drop."
Stocks have rebounded so far in 2019 as investors make a bet that the bad news yet to come this earnings season is priced in. We'll just have to see.

Most people know the basic principles of how to lose weight. If you eat right and exercise, you will eventually lose weight. While it is true there are no shortcuts to losing weight, there are ways to accelerate the process. One of these ways is to keep your metabolism firing on all cylinders. Here are 5 tips to keep your metabolism moving:
1. Make Sure to Eat!
One mistake people make when trying to lose weight fast is that they look at nutrition as black and white. If calories consumed are less than calories burned, than the weight will just melt off, some believe you are better off just skipping a few meals. This is a very unhealthy approach and often short lived. What you eat and when you eat are very important. The key to losing weight is to keep your metabolism moving as fast as possible and eating 5 (or more) small meals daily to put your metabolism into hyper-drive. Breakfast is the most important, as it will wake your body from its 8-10 hour fast (break the fast=breakfast) and get your blood and metabolism pumping. For a five meals a day plan, Livestrong outlines both healthy and delicious choices.
2. Overdose on Green tea
Hyperbole aside, green tea is one of the best substances you can put into your body. According to WebMD, Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and recent studies show that green tea can help battle cancer, reduce your risk of coronary disease, and battles obesity. Not only will the caffeine help speed up your metabolism, but properties found in green tea will lower blood pressure and cholesterol. WebMD goes on to say,
"Taken altogether, the evidence certainly suggests that incorporating at least a few cups of green tea every day will positively affect your health," says Diane McKay, PhD, a Tufts University scientist who studies antioxidants. "It's not going to cure anything and it shouldn't be consumed as a drug, but it can complement the rest of the diet."
Dr. McKay, that is good enough for me!
3. Gulp Down Ice Water
Drinking plenty of water is a great way to control your appetite. The next time you are hungry, try drinking 20 ounces of water and then see how hungry you are! According to Livestrong, drinking cold or ice water will actually help you burn calories and speed your metabolism.
As most people know, the human bodies' temperature is 98.6, and everything we put into our bodies have to be converted to this temperature. Therefore, when you drink very cold water, your body must expend energy to heat it up. Drinking ice water will have your body burning calories and losing weight without expending additional physical effort.
4. Spice Things Up
"Studies have shown that a spicy meal, such as a bowl of chili, can provide a temporary rise in metabolism of about 8% greater than a person's typical metabolic rate."
Along with increasing your metabolism, spicy food has also been shown be an appetite suppressant. So sprinkle some Cholula on your eggs, Tapatio on your sandwich, Tabasco on some popcorn or Sriracha on a chicken breast.
5. Pump Some Iron
Lifting weights is effective for weight loss because not only will your metabolism be working hard during activity, but will continue to burn calories long after your workout is over. According to AskMen.com,
"Cardiovascular exercises will raise muscle metabolism during the activity and for a short time after the exercise session. Weight training, on the other hand, will raise your muscle metabolism during the exercise session — and for a long time after the exercise session. Some high intensity trainers have even seen their metabolism rise for several days following their training session."
With that being said, do not ditch cardio entirely, as it is an important aspect to staying fit. Merely mix in some weight training to optimize your metabolism.

NFL's McCourty Twins Take Down Sickle Cell
On the field, twin NFL defensive backs Devin (New England Patriots) and Jason McCourty (Tennessee Titans) often compete, but off the field these brothers have joined forces for a cause that hits close to home. Inspired by their aunt, the McCourty Twins are bringing awareness to sickle cell disease through their "Tackle Sickle Cell" campaign.
CHECK OUT: Questions To Ask Your Doctor About Managing Sickle Cell Disease
"Growing up, when I was younger, I knew my aunt had a disease, but I didn't totally understand what she went through and everything involved," Devin shared in a recent interview with BlackDoctor.org. Devin recalls their aunt's strength and it wasn't until they were much older that they began to see her different struggles and the complications of the disease. Seeing the direct impact sickle cell was having on her life inspired them to bring awareness and help as many people as possible with sickle cell.
Through their partnership with the Embrace Kids Foundation, the McCourty's Tackle Sickle Cell initiative is a platform to help them increase awareness, educate and raise funds. Signature events include a 5k walk, casino nights and blood drives. "If we can just keep raising awareness and getting more people involved they can realize this is a serious disease and the more people that are helped and the more that know about it and donate to it, the better it can be."

The Cold and Flu Season is Chasing You Down
Dec. 9, 2015
Believe it or not the cold and flu season is here, and getting sick can impact your business and family. Having sick employees missing work can lead to lost revenue. Vitamin C trials have shown encouraging results for reducing some cold symptoms and reducing the duration of illness; however, it hasn't been proven to cure or prevent infection.
Preventing Colds and Flu at Work
Each year, between 5% and 20% of Americans get the flu and miss a staggering 70 million work days as a result. The indirect costs of the flu are between $3 billion to $12 billion a year according to WebMD. Cold and flu illnesses are not covered under workers' compensation.
1. Make sure employees know it is ok to call in sick when they need to.
2. Make sure all common areas are cleaned each day.
3. Cover your mouth when you cough.
4. Have sanitary wipes and hand sanitizer placed around the office.
5. Wash hands twice a day.
Preventing Colds and Flu at Home
1. Get a flu shot. It's the No. 1 thing you can do to prevent the flu.
2. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer. If you can't get to soap and water, sanitizer can kill cold and flu germs.
3. Get plenty of rest.
4. Eat healthy and take vitamins.
5. Keep kids home from school if they are sick.
6. Warm water and soap will kill the germs, but be sure you don't rush. Try to wash for at least 20 seconds.
7. Regular exercise is another immune-system booster which can prevent cold bugs.

British cut flowers coming back in bloom
Things haven't been particularly rosy for home-grown florists in UK for decades. The lure of cheaper, mass-imported blooms means that just 10 per cent of cut flowers bought in the UK today are grown here – a near-total reversal from 50 years ago.
However, a plucky new generation of British florists are fighting back against the dominance of invasive, non-native stems, choosing instead to champion varieties grown on home soil. And, increasingly, they're getting the support of consumers, too.
Jay Archer, a 28-year-old florist from Hampshire who specialises in wedding arrangements, almost exclusively uses British flowers and foliage during the summer period, only topping up with imports during the winter, when harsh conditions grind home-grown production to a near-halt.
In the five years Archer has been in operation, she has witnessed a sharp rise in orders that specifically ask for flowers grown here. In fact, between her second and third year, business grew 948 per cent – a success she credits partly to the increasing sense that British is best.
"Increasingly, customers want to know where their flowers have come from, so that they have more of a connection to them," she says. "It's for the same reasons as people asking where their food was grown and where their clothes have been manufactured: they care more and are willing to pay for it, so what started as a principled thing is now consumer-driven, which is fantastic for British growers and florists."
In fact, many customers are so enthusiastic about provenance, new flower subscription services, which deliver 'whatever's local and in season' blooms in the style of Riverford 'veg' boxes, have sprung up to meet demand – for instance, the thriving start-up Freddie's Flowers, and Bloom & Wild, which sends its flowers "flat-packed" in the post. Meanwhile, online flower services such as those run by Marks & Spencer and Waitrose pointedly label bouquets that are "made in Britain".
Archer is one of several members of the lucrative UK cut-flower industry that featured in a new Channel 4 documentary, The Billion Pound Flower Market. Focusing on the power of multinationals in Holland, in particular – whose 10,000 growers provide the majority of the blooms found in the UK, from London's historic New Covent Garden Flower Market to the "big four" supermarkets – the film highlights the David-and-Goliath nature of the challenge faced by British growers, as well as the potential for a slight resurgence.

After an interesting past few weeks and our little man keeping us in suspense, Isaiah Reid was born on 8/12. Our hearts are overfilled with so much love and joy and we are in complete awe of both of our little guys.
Big brother has been amazing with him and the love he showed us when he first met his little brother is a moment we will never forget. We are so blessed and grateful for the family that we have.
With that being said, Faith and I have discussed the direction we want this blog to go in and at this point we aren't sure just yet. Now that I have two little ones to care for, their privacy and what we are willing to share has always been a big question. Let's face it, there are just some creepy people out there and with no way to really block people from your blog this has always been a hesitation of ours from our very first post. I also want to be able to enjoy my kids to the fullest and not try to squeeze blogging in during nap times or after they go to bed. Life is too short, and while some people can manage this like a pro, I fall short and don't want time taken away from my family.
Faith is also focusing on her career and the time and effort that blogging takes is no little thing. We always knew from the start we didn't go into blogging to make money or hit the big time over night. We've really enjoyed the friends we've connected with and the great blogging community that's out there. We still plan on reading all of your blogs and until we figure out the direction of our own blog we will more than likely pop on every now and then, especially if a great blog post comes to mind. You know, the ones that usually come out of no where right before you're about to fall asleep. But for now, we appreciate your support and for all of those who've connected with us and enjoy reading our little internet space.

An article in the Independent is about 2000 missing Light Bellied Brent Geese (out of a flock of 6000), which were apparently lost due to the fact that their normal feeding grounds in Denmark were frozen over. Mother Nature links to the Independent but adds their own bit of research linking to a scary " global warming causes freezing" article from their Global Warming for the Intellectually Challenged Series.
The Independent:
In most years, around half of the birds head to the UK and spend the winter at Lindisfarne, with the rest wintering in Denmark and together the two sites hold over 99% of the world population of the geese. But during the big freeze the Danish wetlands froze over and the geese which arrived there were forced to abandon Denmark to find new feeding grounds.
Mother Nature:.
Most of the rare geese winter in Denmark but extreme winter weather (which could be the result of climate change) has caused the Danish wetlands to freeze over this year. This forced the geese to find new feeding grounds.
Another tragedy caused by Global Warming Freezing!
Climate Common Sense is not a sceptical site but a non-believer's site .Global warming and cooling are natural phenomena and carbon dioxide is a lovely gas vital to plant growth. Global Warming has stopped and Climate Change ( I call it Weather) is the new manufactured bogeyman. This website will present a realist view on the Climate Change debate.

Correction: A previous version of this article misspelled the name of Mary Jo Schumacher of Silver Spring. This version has been corrected.
A hurricane wheeling up the Atlantic Ocean is wreaking havoc on Independence Day fun from the Mid-Atlantic to New England.
The annual Boston Pops Fourth of July concert was moved from Friday to Thursday. Surf City, N.C., scrapped its annual fireworks show. On the North Carolina shore, celebrations were pushed to Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
Arthur was designated as the first Atlantic hurricane of the season early Thursday. In the day's last minutes, the storm made landfall near the southern end of North Carolina's Outer Banks.
Arthur was a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph and was moving northeast at 18 mph, the Associated Press reported. After Friday morning, Arthur is forecast to continue toward New England.
Although they are clear of the hurricane's predicted path, Virginia Beach and Maryland's Eastern Shore are expecting wind and rain to put a damper on July 4 celebrations. Ocean City, Virginia Beach and Bethany Beach rescheduled their fireworks to Saturday night.
The National Park Service said it hopes to hold its fireworks show on the Mall in Washington as scheduled Friday night, but it is prepared to postpone it if the weather interferes.
Carol Johnson, a Park Service spokeswoman, said 6,000 fireworks were set up early on Thursday near the Lincoln Memorial, along with a fence to protect the fireworks and mesh to shield them from sidelong rain.
"As long as anyone can remember, they've never been rescheduled," Johnson said. "They've maybe been pushed back half an hour."
Jason Samenow, meteorologist for The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang, had predicted that the storm could have winds as fast as 105 mph as it hit land in North Carolina, making it powerful enough to damage roofs and take down trees and power lines.
"This is looking like the most potent hurricane to make landfall in the United States in six years," Samenow said.
Washington and its suburbs will be only slightly affected, Samenow said. The hurricane is not expected to come inland as far as the District, but the moisture and humidity from the storm system contributed to severe thunderstorms in the region Thursday afternoon.
Those storms knocked out power for tens of thousands of customers across the Washington region, tore part of the roof off an apartment building in College Park, toppled trees onto roads and houses, and splattered the region with quarter-size hail. One woman was struck by lightning in Montgomery County but was not seriously injured.
As of 9 p.m., about 80,000 outages were reported across the region, with almost 34,000 customers without electricity in Montgomery County and 29,000 without power in Prince George's County.
Also Thursday night, severe thunderstorms delayed trains between Washington and Philadelphia .
Amtrak spokeswoman Vernae Graham said about 20 trains were delayed by intermittent power outages and downed trees in areas between the District and Philadelphia, but mainly in the corridor north of Baltimore. As of 10:30 p.m., hundreds of passengers continued to deal with delays as trains traveled through areas that had lost power.
"We're just sort of slow moving through the area," Graham said.
In Montgomery County, fire department spokesman Pete Piringer said a woman was struck by lightning near the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Democracy Boulevard but was not seriously injured.
By Saturday, the weather should be clear at the beaches in North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, and beaches in New England will be clear by Saturday afternoon. Even though the skies will be sunny, the storm will leave behind high seas and rip currents that could make swimming risky until Sunday.
In North Carolina, Gov. Pat McCrory (R) declared a state of emergency for 25 coastal and adjoining counties Wednesday evening. "Don't put your 'stupid hat' on," he said at a news conference, urging those who choose to stay to avoid the water. On Thursday, he reassured residents and visitors that the state was prepared for the worst but was optimistic.
"This holiday weekend is one of the biggest weekends for coastal tourism," he said, "and we expect a beautiful weekend after the hurricane."
Hurricanes are hardly a new experience for the Outer Banks, which was hit by Irene in 2011, Ophelia in 2005, Alex in 2004, Isabel in 2003 and Floyd in 1999.
The thin, fragile islands are prone to flooding. Most houses are built on stilts for just that reason.
Hatteras Island, a long stretch of sand that covers half the length of the Outer Banks, was put under mandatory evacuation Thursday, officials said. Ocracoke Island, to the south, was under voluntary evacuation.
"We're closing this evening and tomorrow, but we believe the storm will be past us and we'll be able to open for the night of the Fourth," Nathaniel Schramel, whose father owns the Flying Melon Cafe on Ocracoke, said Thursday. Despite the voluntary evacuation, he said, the island was still busy with tourists and locals.
In the wider land north of Hatteras, locals and seasoned visitors weren't worried.
"We'll drop the storm shutters, and we'll round up anything that could be taken for a ride with the wind, but all the indications are it's going to be in and out quick," said Richard Hoffman, a math teacher in Kill Devil Hills. His daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren are visiting for the holiday. They will barbecue Friday regardless of weather, he said — they can put the grill under the house.
For others, however, the oncoming storm interrupted holiday plans.
"We're going to get together at our house back in Silver Spring and simulate our time together with a barbecue," Mary Jo Schumacher said Thursday as she returned from Hatteras, where she and her family vacation with friends each summer.
They had to evacuate in August 2011 for Hurricane Irene, so they moved their trip to earlier in the season to avoid future storms. And yet they were forced off the island again.
"We're all very disappointed," she said. "But when you're dealing with nature, there's not much you can do."

Film scholar Carol Clover has written that "trials are already movielike to begin with and movies are already trial-like to begin with." November 14-15, Amherst College convenes "Trial Films on Trial," a conference of film and law scholars discussing how movies shape and reflect our ideas about the law.
"Trial films are interesting because they have trials in them but they also have a trial logic to them," said Professor Martha Umphrey (Department of Law, Jurisprudence and Social Thought), who is organizing the conference.
To understand what the conference is driving at, we asked Umphrey to list some of her favorite films featuring trials. Her verdicts follow, in her own words.
Twelve Angry Men (1957)
This is the most famous and obvious one, although there's very little about the trial itself in that film. Henry Fonda takes over the role of the defense attorney and is able to raise enough reasonable doubt in that jury room to overcome an 11 to 1 initial vote. It's quite remarkable.
You've got the ad man, the working class guy, the architect who's the sort of intellectual, and the bully … It's meant to be a kind of microcosm of the democratic practice. De Tocqueville said the jury system should be regarded as a free school in the democratic process.
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
Partly derived from the classic novel, it captures a particular moment in American history and racial tensions around that moment, and the trial scene is a substantial part of the film. It shows the way law, and a kind of vision of law which is about the rule of law and equality, can be asserted in the face of obdurate racism. It's a very moving and powerful film.
Inherit the Wind (1960)
This is really a film about trials as public spectacle. It doesn't accurately track the actual facts of the case particularly well: it's all about showing the public watching a performance of a public debate about evolution and creationism. It shows the ways in which trial forums can be places to work through social dramas.
Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
This one is also about trials as spectacles. The courtroom is packed, and it's about acting and artifice, and trying to get at the truth and then duping the system because you can be such a good actor. Charles Laughton is the amazing defense attorney who's come back after a heart attack and he's going to take the toughest possible case. There's a leitmotif about spotlights and about vision and monocles and acting, that is both entertaining and goes to show the ways in which trials are public events.
Judgement at Nuremberg (1961)
There is something really important about that postwar period, that period of liberal consensus where these films put law on trial. The law is seen as fragile or flawed, but capable of greatness. The question in this film is, can you hold the Nazi judges responsible for applying the laws as they were given to them? How do you put a regime on trial and make claims on behalf of civilization? Spencer Tracy basically says, you were guilty the minute you condemned one innocent man to death. It's about the role of the judge in relation to justice.
A Few Good Men (1992)
This is really a film about lawyering. Tom Cruise is this wiseacre who thinks he's better than everybody else, who's assigned this case, and then turns into a phenomenal trial lawyer. He does it by understanding the psychology of questioning and by understanding the role of performance in lawyering. He bluffs his way into cracking the witness. For me this film is a bildungsroman about a lawyer who's able to assert the values of justice and process in the face of what looks like, by the end, a kind of fascist regime in Guantanomo.
Anatomy of a Murder (1959)
This is a brilliant film. Jimmy Stewart is the attorney who's kind of down and out, and it's a case about a guy who kills someone whom he thinks is his wife's lover. And that turns into a case about whether or not the defendant can fake a defense, an insanity plea. It's again about the ethics of lawyering and the ways in which lawyers coach defendants into telling particular stories in order to make a case turn in one direction or another.
My Cousin Vinny (1992)
It's funny, but it's a really good trial film. By the time you get to the 70s you tend to see more scepticism about the possibility of law doing justice. There's more focus on corruption, and you get to something Dirty Harry, [who] has no patience for constitutional rights and the Miranda warning and all that … but then there are films that recuperate it like My Cousin Vinny, where a guy represents himself and he manages through the gift of his rhetoric to make things work out.
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) & The Thin Blue Line (1988)
One of the things that you start to notice when you teach these films is they are actually often structured like trials.
Capturing the Friedmans is a documentary about a Long Island case involving alleged child sexual abuse in the 1980s. What's interesting is that the film is built out of home movies that the family shot. It's a classic example of a trial film. There's a trial in it —you see the courtroom setting and the judge and so forth— but it's really structured to be a trial, a kind of back and forth presenting evidence. Another example of that is The Thin Blue Line, where you have this kind of back and forth going on. You put the legal system on trial: here's some evidence, here's some opposing evidence, there's line of argument playing forward.

In an animated retelling well-suited to reading aloud, this object lesson in the virtues of concentration features starving animals, a tree that must be named to give up its luscious fruit and a particularly bad-tempered lion.
In a time of drought, one tree offers relief. Told by the giant python guarding fruit "smelling of sweetest mangoes, fat as melons, juicy as pomegranates" that the tree must be addressed by name, Zebra, Monkey and Elephant in turn set out to learn it from distant Lion. So self-congratulatory and distractible are all three, though, that by the time they return, they've forgotten it. This leaves small Tortoise to crawl slowly, slowly to Lion and then slowly, carefully back, chanting the tree's name over and over. Readers and listeners are invited to do the same, though considering the tongue-twisting names in other versions of this African tale, "Bojabi" won't be that much of a challenge. The story's narrative pattern is humorously highlighted by the increasingly choleric Lion's ever-louder responses to the animals' repeat visits. In eye-catching contrast to the wilted-looking sufferers in Grobler's fine-lined watercolors, both Python and Tortoise sport bright patterns.
A lively alternative to the standard renditions, Celia Barker Lottridge's The Name of the Tree, illustrated by Ian Wallace (1989), and Joanna Troughton's Tortoise's Dream (1980). (Picture book/folk tale. 6-8)

Nothing like your back going out to make you feel old. Happens to me every few years, and comes out of the blue. Last time it was when I was brushing my teeth. This time it was tying my shoes. Anyway, after a hospital visit I was told to take a couple of days off, which in turn gave me a chance to catch up on the blog discussions on mathalicious and dy/dan that I'd been too busy to read in their entirety.
I'll go into those blogs in detail below, but first let me summarize one theme that emerged for me in my pain-killer induced haze. For some reason, a song by Michael Franti's old band—Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy—came to mind…
Television, the drug of a nation.
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation.
… except the lyrics morphed into…
Testing, the drug of a nation.
Breeding ignorance, spoon-feeding information.
No matter how much that song brings me back to my twenties, when I was a budding new teacher like Karim and Dan, my back spasms are painfully compelling counterexamples to my theory that I'm still young. Alas! So anyway, let me take you on my blog trek…
I'd recently met Karim Ani, the founder of Mathalicious, at the Why Algebra Matters and How Technology Can Help conference, when we bonded over our mutual frustration with all the excitement about Khan. In his blog post "Khan Academy: It's Different This Time," he argues that this approach is exactly the same as the ineffective approach of the past: "rote procedure; multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions; lack of conceptual understanding." A completely modern version of the same ineffective pedagogy, which is fine as it was—a free homework help site—but not when Gates and others bestow it with money and prestige.
My favorite part of Karim's blog is his response to the notion that "this time it's different" because "technology has finally gotten to a point on the exponential growth curve where we can create 'adaptive learning' systems," while at the same time "schools and districts are finally under such budgetary pressure."
After all, industrial farmers have made incredible leaps in bioengineering, while thousands of families across the country struggle to make ends meet. Still, it doesn't follow that McDonald's is therefore the solution to the hunger crisis.
Dan Meyer's blog post, What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong About Math Education Again And Again, makes the point that "the medium defines, changes, and distorts the message," and that when you use various media to distribute mathematics "each of those delivery media changes the definition of mathematics." Dan argues that ed-tech start-ups often change the definition of mathematics so that it becomes "a series of simple, machine-readable tasks you watch someone else explain and then perform yourself," while others like the Khan Academy delegate to teachers those tasks "for which teachers are a good medium: conversation, dialogue, reasoning, and open questions." Ultimately, Dan argues, "that delegation only works to the extent that teachers and computers convey complementary definitions of mathematics," when in fact their definitions are often contradictory.
Both these blog posts received a large number of comments (91 for Karim, 83 for Dan). Interestingly, Dan linked to a research paper with the phrase that "computers are not a natural working medium for mathematics" which generated many comments that specifically referred to Sketchpad (see comments #37, #48, #57, #60, #71).
While not as obvious as with composition, I think you undersell computers. For example, many of my geometry students see Geometer's Sketchpad as a natural working environment for working with graphs and compass constructions, creating graphics, and even writing short mathematical arguments. They even use it in other classes of their own accord.
Another example, which also references the functionality of Fathom and TinkerPlots:
Dynamic geometry, as has been mentioned by some already. This tool has done amazing things for helping teachers to create opportunitites for students to make discoveries on their own and thus enage with mathematics. It can go beyond the teaching of geometry as well.
Graphing software – largely by labour saving, but also through dynamic functionality – these tools as well have created new opportunities for exploring relationships.
Data Handing – This has come to life through computers with access to real, live data, the functionality to collect it and the ability to process it. All this means that the nature of data handling tasks can now vary in new ways.
The paper that Dan linked to, "Computer-based assessment: a platform for better tests?" by Hugh Burkhardt and Daniel Pead of the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS), is a dense read with many salient points. It references interactive assessments—potential prototypes that might measure how students perform on more complex, open-ended tasks. These applets are super interesting to experience yourself. In particular I recommend exploring Sunflower, as well as Speed Limit and Make 100. [Update: the website hosting these applets has been taken down.]
The authors start off with "formal assessment, whatever its goals, plays several unavoidable roles" (paraphrased by me):
- Measuring performance against curriculum goals (the traditional goal of assessment).
- Epitomizing the curriculum (tests communicate clearly the aspects of performance that will be rewarded, which may or may not cover the declared objectives of the intended curriculum in a balanced way).
- Driving classroom activities (for 'high stakes' assessment, classroom learning activities—the implemented curriculum—will closely match the aspects of performance that appear in the test—the tested curriculum).
They argue that high stakes assessment "must be a balanced measure of what is important, not just what is easily measurable. Any balanced assessment of the goals of most intended curricula implies the assessment of performance on complex tasks involving higher-level strategic skills and substantial chains of reasoning." The paper then describes their work with developing more complex assessments that measure the type of mathematical practices that are not assessed by multiple-choice and short-answer questions.
This is the type of thinking that we are also currently engaged in at Key. I was especially pleased by the overlap of the work we do and what the authors regard as the "main current opportunities for computer-based assessment to contribute to raising the quality of assessment," which included simulated microworlds, data-based investigations, modeling, and other naturally computer-based tasks. Automated feedback can be great for student learning when applied in ways that are designed to make the student think and reason.
But when all is said and done, a test is only a test. Finland abandoned high stakes testing in favor of increased teacher pay and professional development, and it seems to work. Instead, the US has invested heavily in machine-scored testing. I think we can all agree that tests have a role in the classroom, for teachers to evaluate student "performance against curricular goals." But high-stakes testing outside of the classroom is the medium that distorts the message, and it makes us flock to the sources of the same bite-sized pieces of mathematics, only now they are streaming…
Testing, the drug of a nation.
Breeding ignorance, spoon-feeding information.

I discontinued the shots immediately, I got serious about chiropractic care, going three times a week faithfully, and I started to wean myself off the pills. I started with cutting one pain pill in half and reducing my daily meds by just that half pill. I knew that even though I was not physically addicted to the medication, my body had become dependent on having it and even though the relief was no longer what it had been in the beginning, my body thought it needed that medication just like it needed air. I kept strict notes on when I took the medication and how much I took, being careful to never go over the limit of one half a pill less. After one month I eliminated another half a pill, I continued to do this until I was down to no more than one pill a day.
I did not allow my body to tell me what it thought it needed, I was driving this train now, and I called the shots! I started taking handfuls of supplements everyday, religiously, I was introduced to essential oils for relaxation, I listened to music, I forced myself to do stretching and yoga, I had let my authentic self take over and she's a stubborn, bull-headed Cajun that won't take no for an answer!
All these things combined helped but it just wasn't quite enough. That's when I decided to go full natural and give medical marijuana a try. However, my main problem was I didn't live in a state where medical marijuana was legal, However, by luck we were traveling to Colorado for a Christmas trip and I decided to get some eatables and see what happened. They did help some but not enough. I needed to find another way.
We moved to Michigan a few months later and being a Medical Marijuana state, I made an appointment with a doctor, took my medical records, and got my paperwork! My card came in the mail a couple months later and I was on my way to treating naturally.
For me it turned out to be the answer I was looking for. I haven't been able to completely give up the pain pills, but going from 120 pills a month to just 30, for severe days is a miracle for me. I now only take the pain pills for extreme days, mostly the migraine days when I just need to quell the pain and go to sleep. Otherwise I function at a level I never thought I would get back to had it not been for Medical Marijuana. I'm not saying I'm back to the person I was before, but I'm also not the person I was 2 years ago, walking around in a black cloud, barely functional. Medical Marijuana with the combination of the other natural therapies began, to be the answer I was seeking. I can live and on good days I can even cook dinner and go on motorcycle rides with my husband, which for me is living compared to existing, which is what I was doing before.

Have any of you seen this? Basically, Microsoft is now subsidizing the cost of Xbox 360's by wrapping you up in to a "Entertainment for All" plan at $14.99/mo, that I'd be getting ANYWAY because it offers the unlimited Xbox Live service (which you need for online play).
All you have to do is go to Microsoft's Xbox 360 Entertainment for All Plan page, verify that you're eligible, and sign up for the service. I guess they start your monthly service right away, and then you get a coupon to take to one of the participating retailers (Best Buy, GameStop, Toys'R'Us, Walmart, or Microsoft Store) to pick up any of the eligible Xbox 360's for $99 or $149.
I guess you can get the $249 "Holiday Bundle" right now for $99…comes with 250gb Xbox 360, Forza 4 (yes!!) and Skyrim (no!!) – Chuck, you can have Skyrim…not my cup'o'tea.
I'm still on the fence, but Dominic is pressing me hard to pick one up.
Hmm…I'm going to have to pick up the new Forza Horizon game as well…damn it! I guess I need something to hold me over until the new Sim City comes out in February.

In terms of music quality, the company certainly succeeded in that regard. It's surprising to realize that sound is coming out of that small a package. And it's so clean and clear that it's fairly easy to get it loud enough -- without realizing it -- to make your upstairs neighbor thump on the ceiling.
The Solo feature a Digital Signal Processor with a 60-watt RMS digital amplifier, three-quarter-inch soft dome tweeters and a custom 3-inch long-throw, four-layer voice coil woofer with oversized magnets. Duetto is the same, with a second set of drivers. Duetto also has a 3.2-inch TFT color display for album art and meta data, compared to Solo's 2.8-inch model. Both are backlight adjustable. Other features include six preset station buttons; EQ controls for Bass, treble, balance, and loudness; and alarm; and a telescoping external FM/DAB antenna.
Both are manufactured in a cabinet made from nearly half-inch MDF finished in either furniture-grade walnut or hickory, or a high-gloss multi-layer piano lacquer in black or white, and feature either anodized aluminum or painted metal knobs. A variety of customization options are available to corporate buyers, ranging from engraved plaques to custom woods and colors, depending on quantity.
The Solo is 5-inches high, 9.5-inches wide and 4.7-inches deep, weighs about six pounds and retails for $299-$349. Duetto is 5.3-inches high, 14.6-inches wide and 5.5-inches deep, weighs 6.6 pounds and retails for $399-$449. It is available from www.comoaudio.com.
A free app available on iPhone or Android controls everything, including multi-room synchronization, and a remote control is also included, even though they can be controlled entirely from the device, as ease-of-use is core to DeVesto's design philosophy. The app is easy to set up and connect -- even the Bluetooth pairing to a smartphone was very smooth -- and the small remote lets you work easily and efficiently through preset stations, volume control, alarms, and the like. This is good, because again, the quality of the sound makes it easy to play the music a bit louder than you realize -- until it goes off in the morning. Call it the neighbor's revenge.

Yermo's Journey to the SPICE Cup
Yermo's Travelogue: the 2017 Spice Cup
by Alex Yermolinsky
Recently, the 2017 Spice Cup was held in St. Louis, Missouri, and won by Lazaro Bruzon Batista, Yunieska Quesada, and Dariusz Swiercz. This traditional event is organised by Webster University, also home to the strongest collegiate team in the US. It brought players from around the globe, including a field rich in titled players. Among them was our correspondent Alex Yermolinsky, who performed well, and brings his report with some fantastic games and notes. Not to be missed!
The 11th Annual Spice Cup attracted 61 players from 19 countries, including 21 Grandmasters, 6 International Masters and one Women Grandmaster. The traditional event is sponsored by Webster University, the host of the strongest program in American Collegiate chess. Headed by Susan Polgar, the Webster Team boasts international stars from all over the world and they have won the National Championship seven years in a row.
Things aren't looking to be easier for the competition in the upcoming years, as Webster has recently added Peruvian stars Jorge Cori, Emilio Cordova, and Hungary's Peter Prohaszka, with more talent still on the waiting list.
There is no question that for many a young chessplayer coming to St. Louis to pursue college education while honing their chess skills not only represents an attractive option but is also a great opportunity. I wish the best of luck to all future applicants, but, <disclaimer> please, do not contact the author of this article with inquiries, as I am not in any shape or form associated with the Webster University Chess Program.
I really like playing in the Spice Cup. There are many advantages: a restricted number of players, therefore no overcrowding; a strong field to provide challenging competition; a comfortable game in 90 minutes time control, and a very nice location.


text: Dr. Susan Mackinnon, winner of an Elfen Works Award (EWA), is a plastic surgeon whose pioneering work in nerve transfer surgery is restoring movement to limbs that many doctors believe to be permanently paralyzed. The first female president in the 86 year history of the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, she specializes in nerve transplantation, peripheral nerve surgery, and plastic and reconstructive surgery. If you ask her patients, they'll tell you she specializes in restoring hope.We highlighted her in Tracks of Hope, asking, rhetorically, whether one person can make a difference…. Yes! Of course they can! Dr. Mackinnon made all the difference in the world to two people close to us, and you can learn the story in the documentary film, A Spark of Nerve. It benefits all of us when the decision is made to restore functionality, to get people back to living and working without disability. Yet even with huge advances in knowledge, best practices are not always applied. There are many reasons for this. Too few doctors have been taught the techniques to perform such nerve surgery, and not enough people know of its existence. Sometimes, immediate cost considerations can overshadow the long-term benefits. Sadly, limbs are often amputated rather than saved. By perfecting these techniques, restoring functionality and hope, and empowering other doctors to do the same, Dr. Mackinnon is doing her part to change the way things are. Dr. MacKinnon is Chief of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Shoenberg Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in the Department of Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine. Her team's pioneering, innovative work show us how best practices in health care make a lifelong difference, rippling out through many lives.

a toy for the little man
I came out of Goodwill the other day grinning from ear to ear, which made the husband wonder what I found in the store that was so valuable. It is not valuable but it is a toy that I know the little man will be fascinated with. He loves games like this one on the photo. It says Stats Arcade. This is the first time I have actually seen a toy like this but I have seen this type being played by the little man when he is in the computer. It did not hurt that the toy is only $1.50. It is not a toy or game for me, that's for sure, because I have almost zero tolerance for losing, but the little man enjoys a challenge that is why I bought it for him. We have had arguments over scores because he wanted to beat my score which I must tell you I got from cheating (I tilted the board over so the little round things will go where I wanted them to go). He did good with the game after just a few days but he seems to be bored with it anymore. He did have a few days of trying to figure out how to get a high score so I guess it was worth buying after all.

The potential for an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities may be a lot greater than skeptics may have thought. That's the upshot of a story published yesterday in Foreign Policy that alleges Azerbaijan has granted the Israelis access to airbases in that country. If true, Israel's ability to launch a strike from bases on Iran's northern border would make the Jewish state's military challenge in seeking to knock out Iran's nuclear plants a lot simpler. The assistance of the Azeris would enable the Israelis to make repeated attacks and would eliminate the need to refuel their planes in midair in order to make the long flight from Israel to Iran.
Yet at the same time, a report in Ha'aretz insists that Tuesday's announcement by the U.S. Defense Department that it would ask Congress for more money for Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system ensures there will be no attack on Iran before the presidential election this year. While that assumption may be unfounded, along with similar speculation that followed Prime Minister Netanyahu's meeting with President Obama earlier this month, it leaves open the possibility that Israel is heeding U.S. requests to hold off an attack. The question for Iran is, which of these stories do you believe?
On that score, there's no question that Iran must regard the decision of the Azeris to assist an Israeli strike as being a mortal threat to their ability to defend themselves. Prior to this, all discussion of a possible Israeli strike had been tempered by the knowledge that their ability to attack Iran was severely limited by the vast distance between the two countries. When compared to the ability of the United States to project airpower from carriers stationed in the Persian Gulf as well as other bases in the Middle East, it made an Israeli attack on Iran look like a poor substitute for U.S. action. But bases in Azerbaijan completely transform the military equation between Israel and Iran. They remove the need for the Israeli Air Force to refuel planes in midair in order to secure their safe return. Support staff stationed along Iran's northern border would also make it easier for IAF to execute repeated sorties on nuclear targets and facilitate the rescue of downed planes and pilots. The bases would vastly increase the likelihood that an Israeli air campaign against Iran would achieve a high degree of success and lower the potential for losses.
From Iran's point of view, this is a total disaster. While they have always known they stood no chance of mounting an effective defense against a massive U.S. air campaign on their nuclear plants, an Israeli attack from 2,200 miles away did not seem as formidable a challenge. The Azeri factor does not quite put the Israeli military on a par with that of the United States but it does act as a multiplying factor with regard to Israel's ability to launch repeated strikes.
Though the Haaretz report that spoke of Israel's plans to attack Iran as being put on hold until next spring may encourage Tehran, the fact that the sources for the Azeri story in Foreign Policy appear to be senior U.S. military and diplomatic figures shows the Obama administration is by no means certain Netanyahu can be counted on to hold his fire until after the president is safely re-elected. The American motive for leaking the story is clear. By making public the fact that the Azeris have more or less been bribed by Israel to give them access to bases that will enable them to easily attack Iran, the United States may be hoping to accomplish two things.
One is to scare the Iranians into finally waving the white flag on its nuclear project. The story ought to make it clear to the ayatollahs there is no way they can protect themselves from either Israel or the United States if push comes to shove. The odds of the Iranians coming to their senses in this manner are slim, but the administration is determined to do whatever it can to keep the window for diplomacy on the nuclear question open for as long as it can.
The second motive is to forestall any Israeli attack. Making public the Azeri role in the military plan might force the Jewish state's Asian ally to back away from any involvement in the project.
Whether the revelation will actually deter Israel from acting should Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak determine it is in their country's interest to strike prior to November is still to be determined. The belief that the extra money for Iron Dome guarantees Israel won't attack Iran this year is based on the assumption that Obama and Netanyahu came to some agreement on the issue when they met in early March. The Iranians must certainly hope this is the case. But the one thing we know today that we didn't a few weeks ago is that Israel's hand in this game of nuclear poker is far stronger than most people thought.Jonathan S. Tobin

Lawro's Premiership predictions
By Mark Lawrenson sleeping dog liar football expert
Charlton v Manchester City (Kick-off 1400 BST)Aha! You will never catch me, coppers! I shall kill again! I disappear into shadows, like Thierry Henry finding space in a stretched Newcastle defence. Let the people know me! Let the people fear me! I shall come to you in visions, in nightmares, in dreams of untold erotic pleasure... you cannot escape me. I shall possess you. For you are merely mortal and I am the EVERLASTING, the timeless, I am the stain upon your soul that infects your every action!
Verdict: Charlton to win 1-0.
Leeds v Newcastle (Kick-off 1400 BST)Alan Shearer, Alan Shearer, Alan Shearer... I am the recurring muscle injury that will force you to quit the game. We shall sit next to each other in television studios and I shall smile my sweetest smile, and you shall never know that I am the fiend who brought your Premiership career to a premature end! How fate mocks you, you square-headed lunk! In biblical times they called me Hamen, but you shall know me simply as your nemesis! Haha!
Verdict: Newcastle to win 2-0.
Liverpool v Chelsea (Kick-off 1605 BST)
Oh Mr Abramovich, will your millions ever really buy you happiness? Do you think you can ever forget that lonely little boy, crippled by sadness... I don't think you will. I am the worm of doubt that lives in your spirit, eating you away from the inside. I have crushed greater men than you. Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Churchill, all brought to heel - their pride snuffed by the inevitability of my victory. Do you really think your team of international superstars can shield you from my glare? You are mine. I am omnipotent.
Verdict: Liverpool to win 1-0.
Manchester United v Middlesbrough (Kick-off 1500 BST)Who was the serpent who tempted Eve? Who caused Adam to be gracelessly ejected from the Garden of Eden, like Sunderland cast out of the Premiership with the lowest-ever points total? I was I, you fools! My powers grow stronger with every passing fixture. Here, the Master meets the Apprentice as Ferguson faces McClaren, but all men are as insects to me, as toys to an angry child.Remember: the priest fears me, but only the whore knows my name!
Verdict: Manchester United to win 3-1
Portsmouth v Fulham (Kick-off 1500 BST)Ah, Pompey... I do love the smell of sea air. It brings back fond memories of slave ships dashed against jagged rocks, of the Titanic sinking into the inky depths, of the precious hubris of mankind. Oh, hatchet-faced Harry Redknapp, do you think the world will ever take you seriously? Do you think your victories will ever really see you accepted into polite society? No. The public see a conman, a rogue, a spiv... I have poisoned their minds. That's right Harry... have another drink. Pour it all away.
Verdict: A 1-1 draw.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Southampton (Kick-off 1500 BST)Men talk of the banality of evil, but what evil could be more banal than this fixture? As the passion-play of football unfolds, the spirits of the spectators will ebb... they will grow restless, they will tire. They will start to doubt. They will think about unhappy sexual acts in suburban hotels, of childhood ambitions cruelly unfulfilled, of relationships thwarted by pride and anger. Sometimes man is so bereft of hope that I need do nothing to cause misery... so it is with this fixture. Truly mankind is doomed.I am the darkness that envelopes you. You CANNOT escape.
Verdict: Southampton to win 2-0.
Everton v Blackburn (Kick-off 1500 BST)You lie asleep in your single bed. A newt drops from the ceiling onto your unconscious body. Its inpenetrable black form burrows under your skin, tearing away muscle and sinew with its needle teeth! You awake wracked with pain, a cold sweat covering your back like a shroud! Who do you think singled out Wayne Rooney for glory? Do you think it was God? Do you think a kindly old man with a white beard chose him for greatness? Hahahaha... oh, you poor deluded fools. The twinkle in his eye does not come from the heavens... oh no it does not!
Verdict: Blackburn to win 1-0.
Leicester City v Tottenham Hotspur (Kick-off 1500 BST)The Israelites fled from me in Egypt, their robes filled with hope and parcels of unleavened bread, but now the hope has been extinguished. All is black!I am the flashing blade in the inner-city allleyway; I am the gun pressed against your temples at dawn; I am the bacteria that fills your lungs with pus. Dance! Dance your merry little dance of glee, as you believe you have conquered evil! Dance all you like, for you are my puppets and I am jerking your strings. The danse macabre only brings you closer to my fiery bosom.
Verdict: A goalless draw
Aston Villa v Bolton (Kick-off 1500 BST)What's that you say, Mr Ellis? Your powers are greater than mine? Hardly... you are but a footservant of evil, while I am chaos incarnate!Jack the Ripper was a cheery sort. I twisted that man's brain like Jay-Jay Okocha twisting a bewildered Villa defender. Do you know, he thought he was performing the Lord's work? What simpletons men are. A vision here, a prophecy there and they believe that good is evil, that murder is rebirth. But there is no rebirth, there is no salvation, there is just 90 minutes of torment and mockery, followed by a week of silence and recrimination.
Verdict: Villa to win 2-1.
Birmingham v Arsenal (Kick-off 1500 BST)The day of reckoning is coming! The clouds gather around the cities, around the town, around the blackened souls of men. Grown men in football shirts, standing like apes around a television set, pouring alcohol down their throats, baying for blood, for pain, for change! Fists are thrown into the air. Glass shatters, vomit pours forth like wine! The noon of my conquest is upon us! The screams will sound like Satanic melodies, like a symphony of evil.And poor Steve Bruce... oh that face of yours. It was only a joke - I didn't expect you to keep it.
Verdict: Arsenal to win 3-0.

Beyoncé Shares Another Glimpse at Her Wedding Dress and More Emotional Moments in Latest Music Video
Her latest release includes more never before seen home videos
In a year where nothing seems to be going right, from the deaths of a handful of living legends to generally "realizing stuff" that was probably better left unrealized (à la Kylie Jenner), the release of Beyoncé's visual album Lemonade was a much needed bright spot. And now here to save you from your post-election malaise and your Florence Henderson doldrums once again, Queen Bey has returned with a new standalone music video for her single "All Night," what will have you weeping tears of joy for a solid six minutes thanks to one adorable clip of couples after the next, including some home videos of the star, her husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy.
For anyone who's watched the pop star's sixth studio album Lemonade more times than they care to admit publicly, much of this new music video should look very familiar, as a good portion of it was pulled straight from the original hour-long HBO special. Even so, there's enough additional footage of Bey's posse of magical black women, the Queen herself looking flawless while traipsing through a field in a Kente print gown, and clips of her wedding to Jay Z that you're going to want to take a second look.
RELATED PHOTOS: More Lemonade! Beyoncé Reveals Nearly 50 Behind-the-Scenes Shots from Latest Visual Album
For those who are still somehow unfamiliar with Lemonade, however, the single Beyoncé chose to break out into its own video, "All Night," is meant to be the turning point in her visual album in which the couple she's singing about (which may or may not be her and Jay) are finally able to move past their infidelities and fall in love with each other all over again. So fittingly, the six-minute video is filled with grainy footage of straight, gay, and interracial couples hugging and kissing each other, as well as more home video from Bey's top-secret wedding (in which she wore an epic wedding dress made by her mom — though her mom says she didn't like it! — and blue nailpolish), her pregnancy with Blue, and heartwarming clips of them all together sharing touching moments as a family. Whether you're an official member of the Beyhive or not, you're going to want to watch this video with a box of Kleenex close at hand.
What do you think of Beyoncé's new music video? Sound off below!

This week, we headed to downtown Los Angeles with JCPenney and Jerry O'Connell (who is extremely nice and so fun to hang with!), for a really commendable event called Get Your Penney's Worth! JCPenney wants to bring the value of the penny back and they're doing some pretty cool things to make sure you never walk past a penny without picking it up again… I'll be honest, I've done it several times and I won't anymore! They parked their bright red, penny-decorated truck in the middle of Pershing Square and gave away cash prizes using pennies!! It was really fun seeing everyone get so excited over pennies! I love watching people win prizes because it brings a smile to my face.
So in honor of the beautifully-crafted, copper penny, JCPenney will be hosting Penney Day events, starting February 28th in stores and on jcp.com. Costumers will have the opportunity to buy regular priced Arizona brand apparel or accessories and then purchase the second item for a penny!! There will also be in-store items for sale without an additional purchase and priced at only one-cent!
They also sell some pretty cool items at JCP, including the beloved KitchenAid, NutriBullet, Nike, etc. To put it into perspective, save 25,000 pennies and you can buy a KitchenAid Stand Mixer that will last a lifetime. Who thinks they could do that in a year?! I kind of want to challenge myself!
Thank you JCPenney for having us take part in this very fun campaign!!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of JCPenney. The opinions and text are all mine.

GIS for Cities – Changes in the Last 5 Years
Geographic information systems (GIS) have been around for many decades. They are tools that allow for the manipulation and representation of data on a map. In fact, many larger cities have dedicated GIS departments. They are popular in cities and can be used by almost any department for both internal and external users.
