Hokies Football: Kendall Fuller, Dadi Nicolas Named to the 2015 Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List
By: Tim Thomas
| Jul 07, 2015
We are now two months away from the Hokies' season opener on Labor Day Night against Ohio State, which also means that preseason award lists for college football are starting to come out. Over the next 10 days, 16 different awards will release watch lists for the upcoming season. Today, one of the two awards that released its watch list was the Chuck Bednarik Award, and two Hokies were included on the watch list for the award that goes to the best defensive player in the country. Those two players were junior cornerback Kendall Fuller and senior defensive end Dadi Nicolas. It is no surprise that either player made this watch list especially since a total of 70 players were included on this list. However, Fuller and Nicolas both seem like two players that can be semifinalists for this award this season with both having the potential to have the type of season that it would take to win this award. 2014 was the first season for Dadi Nicolas as a starter and he thrived with an impressive 72 tackles, 18.5 total tackles for loss, 9 sacks, and two blocked kicks. Despite these impressive numbers, Nicolas was snubbed from the All-ACC First Team, but still received recognition on the second team. This season, Nicolas is a sure bet to be on the Preseason All-ACC First Team as the best returning defensive end in the conference. Nicolas is one of the top 8 to 10 defensive ends in all of college football and has a reasonable chance of at least being a semifinalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award. After strong freshman and sophomore seasons, Kendall Fuller has the potential to go down as the best defensive back to ever play for the Hokies. Fuller received many Second Team All-America honors and was All-ACC First Team with 54 tackles, 4.5 total tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 15 pass breakups. Fuller's interceptions were down from 6 in 2013, but that may have been due to how he played with a fractured wrist for most of the season. Fuller is certain to be a Preseason All-American with Florida's Vernon Hargreaves at the cornerback spot. Fuller is arguably the best defensive back in all of college football and has the talent to win an award like this in 2015. Fuller is also already seen as one of the top 15 prospects eligible for the 2016 NFL Draft, and seems like one of the surest bets to stay rated as a high first-round pick. Kendall Fuller and Dadi Nicolas are very deserving of this honor and both will receive many more preseason honors before the Hokies play Ohio State two months from today.

Analysis and Consultation
When is the right time to get analysis?
Analysis usually always helps. It just depends on how much money you want to spend and how effective you want the analyst to be. Analysts can only help you if you fully understand what they are saying. It's like teaching calculus to someone who doesn't even know math. Sure, a calculus instructor can help (by scaling back and teaching the basics), but wouldn't that be better learned in an earlier study? Similarly with analysis, without having to pay substantial dollars, one can learn the basics and practice on their own for a lot less money.
My suggestion is that a writer read books, take classes and workshops, join writer groups and critique each others works. When the writer has done as much work on their script as they can on their own, they should THEN seek assistance from a consultant/analyst. This way, writers are getting the most possible bang for their buck. The analyst is now talking to someone in a language both parties understand, and the script has been as polished as possible before spending the money.
As far as groups go, among the many is www.zoetrope.com
There are also resource sites where one can find a surplus of writing groups,
such as: www.screenwritersutopia.com,
www.absolutewrite.com, www.moviebytes.com
After analysis and the script is a polished masterful script, a writer can now consider getting script coverage. Or not. Script coverage has received mixed reviews and much can be said about it, but this writing will not cover it nor any other pages in this site, other than saying the following: Script coverage is a tool execs at the studios use. Considering that each studio receives thousands of scripts a year that have to be read, there is no way that the person who is going to greenlight a script can read every script. The studio execs hire people to read the scripts, write a synopsis and grade the script. The script is graded based upon several elements and marks are given for each. Then the script receives an overall grade of "Pass", "Consider" or "Recommend". The studio exec uses this coverage in deciding whether to read or greenlight a project.
If a writer wants to know how his/her script will fare before it gets coverage at a studio, there are two script coverage companies we recommend: www.scriptapalooza.com and www.scriptpimp.com There are lots of other script coverage services out there. We recommend these two because we have received a greater number of writers speaking well of them than any other script coverage service available. Additionally, they do not attach themselves to the script in any way and do not charge a percentage of the sale.
We do not recommend any script coverage service that:
A) Attaches themselves in any way to a script.
B) Charges a percentage of the sale.
In terms of what classes, workshops, books, etc, to use as learning tools, most of the analysts we list on our site, include their recommended studies. Additionally, by joining writing groups you can find more.
I hope you find this useful.
Best Wishes,
Jerrol LeBaron

Current and past research studies under the Child and Family program have focused on three content areas (bereavement, combat injury, child maltreatment/neglect):
(NMFBS: militarysurvivorstudy.org)
This study aims to identify experiences of bereaved military family members (adults and children) — how psychological and/or physical outcomes of bereavement are influenced by family members' pre-existing psychological and physical health, genetic factors, support and unique factors associated with military death. Participants completed online questionnaires and participated in interviews with study staff. Expert consultants from other academic centers across the country are assisting with analyses.
(SFG: http://steppingforwardstudy.org/)
The Stepping Forward in Grief Study is testing two online/app programs that were developed in response to findings from the National Military Family Bereavement Study, which suggested that grief-related challenges among bereaved military survivors can continue, even many years following a loss, and that many survivors desire additional support. This prolonged distress puts them at risk for harmful long-term changes in physical and mental health. Recognizing the need to help bereaved military families and friends, the research team at USU formed a partnership with the Center for Complicated Grief at Columbia University to create a program for bereaved military families and friends to adapt to their loss. Participants who enroll are randomly assigned to one of two programs, GriefSteps or WellnessSteps. The study will compare how people in each group do in overall improvement of grief severity and adaptation to loss. Both groups will have guides who can help or answer questions about the intervention. If these programs are successful, they would be a helpful resource for current and future survivors who suffer the death of a military loved one.
The Center for Study of Traumatic Stress and VOICES of September 11 partnered to examine long-term positive and negative bereavement outcomes (including grief, traumatic symptoms, resilience characteristics and post-traumatic growth) following a terrorism-related death. Participants were family members bereaved by the bombing of Air India Flight 182 on June 23, 1985 or by the events of September 11, 2001. Participants completed an online questionnaire about their experiences related to the aftermath of these events and the death of their family member(s). The questionnaire assessed the following: background factors; characteristics of the death; availability of post-death resources; media involvement; memorialization; psychological functioning; and life changes. This information will be used to develop preliminary working models for understanding risk and protective factors for bereaved family members of terrorism-related deaths. These results will inform ongoing research and guide training and counsel for disaster and terrorism victims and their families. Specifically, this work will help identify at-risk groups within the community, and will provide guidance for future policy regarding the delivery of notifications involving human remains identification, which has complex consequences for the traumatically bereaved relatives of terrorism and/or disaster victims.
This study, funded by Sesame Workshop, was the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress Child and Family Program's preliminary research initiative into the area of family bereavement. It studied the impact of a multimedia program produced by Sesame Workshop in families with young children affected by family member death. The study also addressed the impact of parental death on children and their caretakers in both military and civilian populations by evaluating the helpfulness of a Sesame Workshop DVD and supplemental materials designed for grieving families. The study collected data on the health and well-being of surviving children (ages 2–18. These children lost a parent after September 11, 2001 and the data were observations from their current caretaker.
In order to determine how combat injury affects family members and their children, three studies were conducted. Families participated in (1) a study conducted at the National Military Family Association Operation Purple Healing Adventures Camps, (2) a longitudinal study comparing combat injured and non-injured families from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, San Antonio Military Medical Center and Fort Stewart, GA, and (3) FOCUS-CI, a pilot randomized-controlled trial that tested the effectiveness of a newly-developed family-centered, strength-based intervention to be used with severely combat-injured service members and their families. Data collected from these three sources will inform programmatic intervention that can better address the needs of service members and their families.
Results from this work have involved efforts to support healthy communication related to injury both within families (including children) and among health care providers and family members. Courage to Talk resources are available at https://www.courage2talk.org/
The goal of this Child Neglect study is to describe the characteristics of substantiated child neglect cases in the Army, and to identify factors within the family, the military community and the civilian community that contribute either to family health or child maltreatment.. Data were collected from 1,088 questionnaires representing 26 Army installations in the United States, and 400 records of substantiated child neglect cases around the country. Analyses of these data defined the varying types, subtypes and severity of neglect occurring within families, highlighting the importance of varied public health strategies to minimize risk.
Child abuse and neglect among military families negatively impacts military family health. According to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the number of incidents of child maltreatment (both abuse and neglect) reported to the Family Advocacy Program (FAP) that met DoD criteria for substantiation rose steadily from 4.8 per 1,000 children in 2009 to 7.3 per 1,000 children in 2014. From 2013 to 2014 alone, the rate of incidents increased by 14.1 percent. The steady rise was primarily driven by an increase in the number of cases involving child neglect. From 2013 to 2014, the rate of neglect incidents in DoD families increased by 14 percent. Child neglect is currently the most prevalent type of child maltreatment in military families.
The goal of our study is to advance understanding of the factors underlying these trends by identifying the family-level and military service related factors associated with the changing rates of child abuse and neglect in military communities. Specifically, Phase I of our study will examine the socio-demographic, family-related, and military-related correlates of child maltreatment incidents reported in 2014 among active duty military families. Phase II will build on findings from Phase I by examining longitudinal data related to family events (e.g., marriage, divorce, birth), military service events (e.g., promotion, PCS, deployment, disciplinary actions), and health characteristics (e.g., physical and mental health diagnoses, pharmacy records) to develop a comprehensive model of risk and protective factors associated with child maltreatment across the military family life course. Results from this congressionally mandated research will inform DoD clinical practice and policy regarding child maltreatment prevention and respond to House Report 114-577.

Fall Color tours around Creede and SW Colorado
August 21, 2017
Fall Color tours around Creede and SW Colorado
Every fall people hit the roads in Colorado to find the "best" fall colors. Once quiet highways are filled with slow moving vehicles taking in the gold, red, and orange of the aspen trees. Surprisingly, Creede and Highway 149 are relatively uncrowded, despite large vistas of aspen groves. If you are making your way to our neck of the woods in the fall, I highly suggest making a detour up the Silver Thread highway. Here are a few of my favorite places and ways to see fall colors in our area. All of these places can be accessed with a 2wd, low clearance vehicle.
Drive from Creede to Lake City on Highway 149
This drive takes about 1 hour and winds its way along the Rio Grande valley and then up to Slumgullion Pass. From the valley floor you can see aspen groves on both sides - in the San Juan mountain range and the La Garita mountain range. After the wildfires of 2013, small aspens are growing up from the burnt ground and each year are becoming more brilliant.
Drive Pool Table Road
Pool Table Road is located between Creede and South Fork, taking you up a well-maintained dirt road into the La Garita mountains. You will see aspen trees all along the way, as well as vistas of the San Juans. Stop at Hanson's Mill and hike the trail towards Wheeler Geological Area under groves of aspen, pine and spruce.
Hike or Bike Middle Rat Road
A local favorite, Middle Rat Road is just a 10 minute drive from Creede, off the Bachelor Loop. There is no trailhead sign, so you will need to ask for specific directions from a resident. Middle Rat Road is an old forest service road that is fairly flat and a great hike for families, the elderly or those looking for an easy stroll. You walk through aspen and about a half mile in will get a great view of the Rio Grande valley and San Juan mountains. About 2 miles in, the road is washed out and the view of the forest from here is spectacular.
Hike the Hobbit Trail
Another local favorite, the Hobbit Trail takes you to the top of a ridge between East Willow and West Willow canyons, just north of Creede. It is an old mining trail used to access the mines from the top down. The views are breathtaking, but only go if you don't mind the heights. It is about 4 miles RT, but you can get good views about 1 mile in.
Drive Wolf Creek Pass
This is the most well-known drive in the area, so do not expect to find solitude. But the crowds are worth it. The views looking west from the pass could not be more picturesque.
If you need directions or more suggestions, feel free to contact us at Windsock Acres any time! Happy trails to you!

Sadly, my February break is almost over. I'm going to spend most of my time rendering/editing and recording my LPs before Monday. I did finish Catherine so, I have more time with Monster Rancher and Dark Cloud 2 since I'm busy uploading Catherine and Rune Factory. I have no time with casting at the moment since I do that during my free time when I have a lot of footage for each LP. Plus, I finished Indigo Prophecy and I'm now working on Persona 3 FES, The Journey. As you can see, besides school work, I have a lot on my shoulders. Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a great day! 🙂

Twitch.tv Update: Finished Up Indigo Prophecy
So, as of February 13, 2012 at 1:26 AM I have finished Indigo Prophecy. Maybe after school or on Friday I'll cast/stream again.
So, today I streamed on Twitch.tv for the first time and it was pretty fun. I played Indigo Prophecy about I say almost halfway through. I'll try and cast tomorrow more of it and even try to finish it.
Chronicle Thoughts
On February 4, I went to see Chroincle. I saw a huge line to just get tickets and I thought it was for Chronicle since it was the day after its release. Surprisingly, I had a good sized crowd but not the amount I expected which I thought it would be more. Anyways, besides that, let's just dive into Chronicle!
Plot: The plot or story as most of you may say, was pretty good. Three regular teenage boys get super powers from a meteor that happened to crash in the ground, IN A FOREST, NEAR A PARTY! Soon enough, they begin to discover more and more of their powers each day however, one of them begins to turn evil basically.
Characters: The characters were likable since they actually acted like regular teenage people. They even JOKE around with their powers by testing it out on people. The characters are a guy named Steve who is a very popular guy at school, a girl named Casey, Matt and Andrew the main star of the movie who is also Matt's cousin. I really loved Andrew's behavior and how it progresses throughout the movie due to the bullying, his mother being sick and his dad drinking and even hitting him. Steve was my favorite character though because he was funny and brought some comedy to this movie when they weren't testing their powers out on people. However, I didn't really like Matt's character who is just a regular guy.
Other Stuff: I liked how they went with the camera on this. They mainly used Andrew to hold the camera from just his hands to him using his powers to make it movie through the sky, his room and much more. They also used footage from different camera like Casey's and a few others that will give away stuff.
Overall: I really liked this movie but maybe they could have done more with the powers and Matt's character. I recommend this movie TO ANYONE! 🙂
Underrated Game: Indigo Prophecy
Today, I'm going to talk about a very interesting game which is called Indigo Prophecy. This game is a mystery type of game but for me, it falls in the category of mindfudge.
This game is of course for the PS2 which explains the outdated
graphics. This game is also developed by he same people who made Heavy Rain for the PS3, Quantic Dream. This is their first game and did some really creative things other people didn't do which is paranormal events, this game is based on paranormal stuff and this is the time where nobody was using it for a cheap gimmick.
The story, well, without giving much away you are Lucas Kane, an average man in New York during the cold winter. Well, Lucas actually kills someone in the bathroom in a diner and he doesn't know why. In the opening scene you see him not acting normal and again, I won't give that reason away but everyone thinks you are a murderer. You can also play as other characters which are usually Carla and Tyler, cops who are invesgating the case of Lucas. You can even play as Markus Kane, Lucas' brother. There are quicktime events and when you're having a conversation with someone you must pick your dialog quick before the timer runs out or the game will pick it for you. As you progress along, you find what even happened to Lucas as the cops are hot on your heel. There is even an aspect of the degress getting colder which doesn't play a big part until later on but there are some discussions about it in some parts.
There are multiple ways of getting a game over because you picked the wrong dialog choice in a dangrous and serious event or you didn't do what you were suppose to do. Your game can even end if you don' keep your characters sane enough. In order to keep them stable you can play with stuff in the area around you or other things.
I may see why some people have turned this game down is because of the paranormal aspect in the game. I can respect that with the media pushing paranormal movies or TV shows in our face, but, Quantic Dream even has an aspect of you saying "What the fudge…" or even have a mindfudge moment. I can say, I had some of those experinces and even with the playthroughs I saw people had that same experince.
What else can I saw more? If you're into a fun time and not turned off by paranormal stuff then get this game if you can find it cheap for the PS2 like I did. If not, buy it on Steam because I do believe it is on there. There is a version for the Xbox 360 but I heard it wasn't very good. That's all I have to say guys! Have a fun time with Indigo Prophecy! 🙂

Hi there, I'm hoping that I can receive some feedback on a few decisions as I am deliberating on pursuing an online MBA. As some background, I am a clinical trials project manager for a northeast Biotech/Pharma company and have been in the industy for 8+ years. I am 30 years old and am looking to break into the middle-upper management arena where competition is tight for these positions. Also, I was recently laid off at my previous company (a Fortune 500) due to a merger that affected my department. This lesson taught me to never become complacent and keep my edge. I decided that a MBA may help me do just that.
I've spent hours pouring over the internet and have narrowed down some choices.
Some major factors affecting my decision:
- Cost. My company reimburses $5250 per year so I will be paying Out of Pocket for part of my degree.
- Accredidation is somewhat important to me. I feel like if I am going to do this, I might as well do it the best I can.
- Credits. I am not a business undergrad so I will probably need 10-12 credits of the more general courses taking my degree from ~36 credits to ~48 credits so I'm looking for options to accelerate that.
Here are some of my questions:
1) I'm debating between choosing a degree with specialization (Healthcare Management) vs a more general Management degree. U of Scranton has the Healthcare Management program that looks interesting and UMass has the more general degree. Both are comparable in cost and accredidation.
2) My third option is to go local (but offers an online program, only regionally accredidated) at St Thomas Aquinas College (STAC). Any feedback on any of these schools/programs?
Thanks in advance!

McLaren is partnering with Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports for a full-time return to IndyCar competition next season that includes a switch from Honda to Chevrolet, raising questions about Honda-sponsored Arrow driver James Hinchcliffe.
The new two-car team will be renamed Arrow McLaren Racing SP and rely on Arrow SPM's current infrastructure. Arrow currently fields cars for Hinchcliffe and Marcus Ericsson, but Hinchcliffe is a longtime Honda ambassador and star of ads for the automaker in North America.
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said Ericsson is under a one-year contract that will be reviewed but answered "yes" when asked if Hinchcliffe is expected to drive for the team next year.
"Hinch is under contract and we think he's an excellent racing driver who has won lots of races and he does have big ties to Honda," Brown said. "From our point of view, we are very happy to continue to have Hinch, and that's kind of the state of play."
Hinchcliffe also tweeted about Friday's announcement, saying it is a "dream come true" to drive for a McLaren team and adding that his relationship with Honda will be addressed when the "time is right."
August 9, 2019
Hinchcliffe drove for Chevrolet in 2012 and 2013 when he was part of the Andretti Autosport lineup.
All seven of Schmidt's IndyCar victories were powered by Honda, which helped the team win two Indianapolis 500 poles. But McLaren had an ugly split in Formula One with Honda, and the engine maker is not willing to work with the team at this point.
Honda Performance Development said in a statement Friday "although we regret that this partnership will be coming to an end ... HPD has the utmost confidence in the strength and commitment of its remaining partner teams."
Arrow Electronics will remain the team's title partner, and team co-founders Sam Schmidt and Ric Peterson will continue in their current leadership roles. Gil de Ferran, the sporting director for McLaren Racing, will lead the IndyCar effort for McLaren independently from the Formula One effort.
"I'm extremely proud of the team that Ric and I have built and that a legendary brand like McLaren Racing has decided to partner with us," Schmidt said. "Arrow is a tremendous partner which has been integral to our growth as a team since 2015 and to the creation of this new partnership. The combined technical resources and commercial opportunities both McLaren and Arrow bring to the table provide a winning combination."
McLaren, which will be responsible for technical expertise, commercial experience and marketing on the new team, is coming off a spectacular embarrassment in which it failed to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 in May with celebrated two-time Formula One champion Fernando Alonso.
The team partnered with Andretti Autosport in 2017 on an Indy 500 effort for Alonso but took the next season off. Its return to Indy last year was as a standalone team, but McLaren was ill-prepared and Alonso missed the race.
Alonso does not appear to be interested in a full-time IndyCar ride in 2020, but Brown has indicated the new team will field a third car for the Indianapolis 500. Alonso would likely have an option to drive that entry.
"IndyCar has been part of McLaren since our early years of racing, and the series today provides not only a commercial platform to continue to grow our brand in North America but competition with some of the best teams in international motorsport," Brown said. "We come to IndyCar in full respect of the sport, our competitors, the fans and the task ahead.
"At our core, we at McLaren are racers, and where there's competition that puts us to the test, we will race."
Brown said Alonso will meet with McLaren at the Italian Grand Prix next month and that the Indy 500 will be on the agenda.
The new team will honor SPM's promise to Robert Wickens to have a car for him should he return to IndyCar racing. Wickens suffered a spinal injury last August in a crash at Pocono Raceway, and Schmidt, a paraplegic, said he would have a seat for Wickens if he is medically cleared to drive. Brown said that remains unchanged.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Michael Jordan's acceptance speech… Tyra Banks getting real…
When I read the article on Michael Jordan regarding his acceptance speech… during his induction into the Basketball of Hall of Fame… I thought based upon the slant given the article that-
"Okay, maybe he had too much to drink."
You know…celebrating. It is after all a great honor.
But when I woke up this morning it dawned on me…about all those years how Michael had probably sat around and listened to a bunch of people taking credit for his success. People who stood up at podiums with their chest stuck out like his coach at the Univeristy of North Carolina…and all the others who Michael slapped in the face…and shook them up a bit while delivering that speech Friday night. And I thought about all the people who we encounter in lives who tell us we will never make it…and how we need to consider doing something else…or going to another school…move some place else…or not go on to college…etc…etc…
And then years later you emerge as the greatest basketball player of all times…after time after time…you were told that you didn't have what it took … or would never make it into the pro's…or that your were too dark…hair to nappy…that you are not smart enough…can't talk right…etc…etc…
And so what do you do when all this is coming at you?
Well, if you're like a Michael Jordan and half of the other black folk in this country…you pushed harder…worked harder…always striving to perfect that which they told you…you could never do…and were not good at.
It is true. Behind closed doors white counselors, educators…school officials…coaches…tried to sway us not to go on to college…not to pursue our dreams…not to climb any mountains…or swim any seas. Working tirelessly to deffer ever dream that could be deffered…that is what they did. But you looked towards the stars any how…pushed against the grain…filtered through the forces…and worked harder to make it happen. And one day it did.
Then along came those who had tried to quash your dreams…take away your aspirations…steal your hopes…ripe out your future…to feed you where they wanted to keep you…and all black folk. And here they came as the rings started mounting up…championship after championship…contract after contract…deal after deal…and everybody now singing your glory. All of them… all accrediting your fame to what they did for you.
So, yeah…I can understand Michael Jordan when he stood up at the reception for his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame…finally deciding to clear the air…wanting to set the record straight. Setting the record straight…that it wasn't them…but him. Telling every wrong thing that they had ever done to him. It all had made him work all the more harder to get to where he has…the greatest of all times…the one that all the young ball players coming up behind him are compared to…if they show just the slightest bit of promise. He became the marker…the standard gage for talent…that they measure the young boys by today.
But like Muhamumed Ali… there will only be one Michael Jordan. And on his night…he can say whatever he wants to…and if truth hurts then let it…as well it should.
After years of holding it in Michael deserved a chance to let it go. And boy…did he.
I know so well what it is like to have people try to re-direct you from your path and tell you-
"You can't make it."
When I was in high school I began sending out applications for college. This following my high school counselor telling that I was not college material…and should consider going to business school instead so I could learn a trade.
Needless to say…I didn't listen to him. I pushed harder…sending out all my own applications and doing all my own research about colleges and what they had to offer. And this way before there was anything that even remotely looked like a computer…and before such materials became so widely available in libraries or any other place outside of a school counselor's office.
Following my graduation from high school I was off to college. I had to figure out all that financial aid stuff on my own…but I did it. My first year into college…I started getting offers to do radio. Though our college did not offer any courses in communication…we did have a radio station. And I almost lived in that place.
Though I had gone to school to become a lawyer…I recognized some faults that I had. For one, I hated to talk in front of people…or read anything out loud. I also possessed a speech impediment. And this is why I decided to go up to campus radio station to see about getting on air…I thought that it could help me.
I never thought that I would develop a whole other persona. I just thought that if I could play music and talk every now and then…that it would help me to become less introverted…and that I would develop more confidence when talking with and before others. Attributes which I definitely felt would be key for me to have…in order to be able the best lawyer I could be…and an effective one for my clients. So, I almost lived in that radio station…covering almost every shift…and job available to me in our little station.
I taped every program…and still do…listening over and over again for everything I did or said…what I liked or didn't like. I never realized that this was creating a radio personality…or anything close to it…not to mention that I had never considered ever working in radio. But the offers started coming in…followed my tons of fan mail. Who would have ever have thought such a thing would or could have happened to me?
And finally, I decided to take one of those offers to do radio professionally and the rest is history.
But it never would have happened had I listened to my high school counselor. When I walk into oour teacher's credit union…I see his face smiling down from upon the wall…as they have a very large painting of him hanging on their wall. And I sometimes wonder-
"How many black students had he told not to go to college?"
And if he were alive today…and read about me…I have no doubt that he too like Michael's past coaches…from his high school and/or colleges years…and anybody else who ever tried to discourage him…would poke out his chest and try to take a piece of the credit. When he did nothing at all to aid me…but everything he could to deffer me.

I have to admit that I have vast respect for Tyra Banks and the job that she is doing…knowing good and well that many teens look up to her as both their she-ro…and model for whom they would like to embulate.
The topics she covers on her show are provocative, intelligent, moving…and touch upon many topics that no one else has dared to examine in quite the same way that Tyra has. Topics such as black women bleaching their skin…teen pregnancy…teen prostitution…racism…gay for pay…and shows about loving and respecting youself…all of which our teens are in dire need of seeing and hearing. And for some reason Tyra does it so well…that they enjoy watching her. And I guess it all comes down to them knowing and feeling that Tyra is real…and dealing from her heart.
And she talks about fashion…and realizes how important it is to them…our teens.
Recently while sitting out on my parent's front porch, I have noticed this young… Well, I thought she was a young woman…but since school has started back…I now realize that she may well be a teen. But she is so thin…super thin. She looks like 2 sticks walking. Though she appears healthy…nobody without any degree of body fat can possibly be healthy.
Whenever I see her, I find myself staring at her because I have never seen anybody as thin as she is. And I can tell by her dress…that she feels she looks good…maybe even sexy.
But to me…she looks anything but sexy. Because I know she definitely is a product of an eating disorder. The product of disillusion…who bought into that 'thin is in'…and beautiful. If she could see herself as I do…she would know that is a lie…an absolute lie. Because anyone the size of this girl could never be beautiful…because she looks sick.
And this is why a Tyra Banks is so important…because she works hard as dis-spelling the myths.
Well, I finally did in the glasses totally and completely. Now, they are so broken that I can hardly use them. So, you can imagine how hard it was for me to just trying to get through this blog…trying to see through a pair of glass which I have to tuck tightly down on nose in order to see as best I can through them. But I made it through…and now I can go to sleep.
Enjoy your Sunday…how you get out to church.
It was dark all day today…then finally rained just a little…but remained to be dark. We are well on our way to an early winter…and I hope you are gearing up for it.
Hope you have a beautiful day tomorrow.
Well, God bless…
Thank you for reading this blog…and my others. Please be sure to continue to share this blog site with your family, co-workers and all your friends… "pass it on…" www.bsmith101.wordpress.com ©2009

Chyrsler bankruptcy… cause and effect…Ancient African History…
I really do not like people who like to laugh and kajol themselves on the back of other people's suffering. As if Chrysler's going into bankruptcy only impacted the top dogs at Chrysler. If that was so…then maybe my attitude might be somewhat different too. But it does not…the top dogs rarely feel much of the ping…when the zing falls hardest upon those at the bottom. The top dogs get paid out…retire…and go on vacation for the rest of their lives while the poor factory workers get squeezed out of jobs. And are left suffering…wondering about tomorrow.
So, I really hate when I hear people laughing and joking about situations which impact poor innocent people…thousands upon thousands of them…just trying to make it…as black folks say…from day to day.
What could possibly be funny about another large American corporation having to declare bankruptcy?
It merely means more re-organizing…further cut backs and down-sizing…and the shuffling of more folks off into the unemployment lines.
It also means more mortgages can't and won't be met…due to people loosing their jobs. Credit card bills that won't get paid…because… Well, people have lost their jobs. Less consumer wares and other items being purchased…because…well… Yes, people have lost their jobs. More people waiting to collect unemployment…more food stamps that will have to be given out…more medical problems for Medicare to add to their rows etc… More…more…more people who will need to be re-trained…for jobs which do not exist etc…etc…etc..
So, what is there to cheer about…concerning Chrysler filing bankruptcy?
And yes…President Obama should do everything he can to help constrain and assist Chrysler from totally going under.
Had I not gone to visit in Detroit last August such things would have never crossed my mind…but I cannot forget all those houses and all those buildings which I saw…street after street in Detroit all boarded up. There is something about having seen that…that has compelled me to never forget the plight of others.
Sometimes we get caught up in how big we are and how well we ourselves are doing… and what our family has…what we have…etc…etc… That we forget all about others…and about what is going on with them. But this is wrong. Other people lives do impact our lives…whether we care to believe it or not.
Recently, we have seen a series of shootings…where people just walked into some crowded place…office…church…mall…store…house…neighborhood…and just started shooting. And as you listened to the story unfold…you heard or read that the person who had done the shooting had just lost their job…been laid off…went seeking help and met up with nothing but frustration.
When your world comes tumbling down around you…and your family needs to be fed…the rent is due…the utilities are beginning to be cut off…and you are facing eviction…I wonder if you would be laughing because you worked for Chrysler…and your livelihood company just filed bankruptcy…and that meant it was going to cost you your job…your only means of a livelihood…for yourself and your family?
I doubt it.
The lost of jobs…corporate bankruptcies effect us all. And though you may view it as a government bailout because Uncle Sam is trying to help these companies out…the situations are bigger than their CEO's. That money that Obama is taking to aid these companies is far less than what it would cost taxpayers to sustain those people…massive numbers of people who stand to loose their jobs. And I really hate to hear people who have limited vision…short sightedness…and who can't see beyond their own nose…so much so…that they fail to see the bigger…and much broader picture concerning this issue.
Trying to re-train people for new jobs…many of whom have no computer skills and only know how to work in a factory…who many may be well up in age…meaning old…too old in fact to actively and with any real hope of ever being hired for a decent job outside of becoming some store associate, perhaps… far from receiving the pay they earned while doing piece work while on their factory job. Yet, they will be sent to school…enter junior colleges and things…on taxpayer dollars…and into various training programs…still on taxpayers dollars…they will receive unemployment…food stamps…Medicare etc…all of which will add up to far more than the cost of trying to keep Chrysler or any other large company on the verge of sinking from going totally under.
So, what is there to laugh about…and to say-
"There goes more taxpayers money."
It is pay now…or pay far more later.
This recession thing is real. I may not be feeling it personally…but there are thousands upon thousands upon thousands of Americans who are. And they are in dire need of this country's help and support…without the criticism.
Most people in this country have had a desire for a piece of that American pie…and when circumstances change…they should not be held responsible because of the curved balls that have been thrown their way. They only work for these companies and they should not be made to suffer because of them…ridiculed…or made to feel to blame because of any changes in the global economic environment…or the one here in America.
Well, it is not something that many black people had not known. That is the fact that Africa is the cradle of civilization…the place of the origins of all man.
The first shoes made were made in Africa. University…library…books…etc…first in Africa. It is a widely known fact that most of the great Greek philosophers all studied in Africa. Africa is also known to be the place where the Garden of Eden had been. And where it may still well be…as there are still parts of Africa not yet seen by modern man…as you probably remember that most recently in some South American country recently they had found some unknown tribe of people who had not seen the modern world. And that was in South America…a place which is not two-thirds the size of Africa.
But none of this should really be a secret or surprise…as much of the Bible takes place in what as then ancient Africa…as Africa in ancient times stretched all the way into Asia. Ethiopia and other current African countries are cited in the Bible. Haran, a village in Africa, was the original home of Abram whose name was later changed by God to Abraham. And mentioned a few times in the Bible is the Queen of Sheba…an great African queen, who upon one time where she is mentioned she paid a visit to young king by the name of Solomon where she questioned him concerning things of God…as she was a woman of God.
So, if you want to read more on this story just CLICK the LINK BELOW.
If you want to get an understanding of early African History…CLICK and watch the video BELOW.
That being said…then China would really not be the oldest civilization known to man…as history is starting to show…but Africa…the oldest civilization of all mankind.
It is funny to me now…as I think back…but in one of my history classes about a year ago…I handed in a paper stating just that. Not about Africa…but about history…and how depending upon who is writing that history it may or may not bare the whole truth…or even be correct. I wrote that no matter how much man may try to corrupt history by purposely negilecting to tell some things…or by accidently doing so…that in time all things…meaning the truth…is eventually revealed through time.
Here is the newest African Beauty to emerge upon the stage of the world…and she is a high school student living with her family in Germany…and she is Germany's next Top Model, Sara Nuru…an Ethiopian.
You must remember that it was a young beautiful…and evidently a very knowledgeable Ethiopian Queen…Sheba, who paid a visit upon King Solomon who brought him gifts and quizzed him.
Now, I am still trying to catch up on my sleep. So, if you will have to forgive me. I got up and out early this morning. I had to do what I really do not like to do too often…and that is catch the bus. But I must say…as a writer…it really does give you a great source for acquiring interesting little stories.
Hope you had a beautiful day…and for some reason I am feeling much anticipation. I guess because my book, THE BISHOP'S WIFE…is due out soon…and then the work really begins. I will keep you abreast.
God bless…
Thank you for reading this blog…and my others. Please be sure to continue to share this blog site with your family, co-workers and all your friends… "pass it on…" http://www.bsmith101.wordpress.com ©2009

Using Business Rules (sometimes called Portable Business Logic or PBL) to create rules at the entity level allows PowerGrid users to apply basic logical functions while maintaining accessible customizations. Using Business Rules and PowerGrid in Dynamics CRM 2015 is easy if you follow this example. For this example, we will create a simple business rule to populate county based on the City field in the address.
1. To add a business rule, navigate to the form of the entity to which you would like to apply the rule.
2. Select Business Rules and click the New Business Rule button as you normally would to create a business rule.
3. Now we will change the scope of the business rule to apply to the entity instead of the form using the Scope button at the top right of the rule creation form.
4. Add the logic required for your rule, save your changes, activate the rule, and close the form. Save and publish the changes made to your record.
5. Navigate to the PowerGrid area of the CRM to test the rule. PowerGrid functions off stored views, so I have created a simple view to only display: Account Name, City, and County. Creating and saving a short series of records in the PowerGrid view doesn't immediately reflect the changes applied by the business rule. For the rule logic to be displayed, the view or browser must be refreshed.

Will the United States attend Durban II? As Anne Bayefsky lamented, It's been hard to get an answer from the State Department. Last week United States Ambassador to the United Nations Zalmay Khalilzad addressed the question in remarks to the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations:
Unfortunately, the UN General Assembly, both in the Third Committee and the Fifth Committee, resolved to convene a Durban Review Conference in 2009 with preparatory work done by the Human Rights Council.
The U.S. voted against these resolutions, because we do not believe there will be a meaningful review of any of the problematic aspects of the original Durban Conference, and that therefore the expenditure of any UN funds on preparatory meetings or the review conference itself would be a colossal and irresponsible waste of such funds.
In fact, in December 2007, the U.S. voted against the entire UN budget in part because of our staunch opposition to the inclusion of funding for Durban II.
As we stated in our explanation of vote in December, We could not support this budget resolution because this budget today contains funding to what we refer colloquially to as the "Durban 2 Conference." Our political sentiments have been clearly expressed on this revisiting of an event that was noxious to my country and a disgrace in the International Community.
Because of these views, the United States has declined since August to participate in the preparatory events of this Conference. We and Israel have both sent note takers to ensure that we have an accurate record of the proceedings and that we dont rely on press reports to know what is being planned, but we have made clear that the United States is not participating in the process and we have no plans to do so.
We will not participate unless it is proven that the conference will not be used as a platform for anti-Semitic behavior.
Ambassador Khalilzad added:
Because of our concerns, the United States will withhold a portion of its 2008 funding for the United Nations specifically, an amount equivalent to the U.S. share of the Human Rights Council budget, including amounts that would pay for the HRC-administered preparatory process for a Durban II conference tentatively scheduled for 2009.
While the statement does not provide a straightforward expression of regrets for our nonattendance, it lays down a benchmark that is a beacon of clarity and that should rule out our attendance.

Fisher Price Code A Pillar
Fisher-Price has a new toy that will hit the shelves this year and we are expecting it to be a toy to watch out for!
The Think & Learn Code-a-Pillar is an adorable toy created to inspire and teach kids ages 3 to 8 to understand the basics of coding. A caterpillar on a mission, the Code-a-Pillar comes with eight segments that hook together, each one with a different function. The functions include: turn left, turn right, make a funny sound and so on.
Depending on what order you plug the modules together, the Code-a-Pillar is commanded to move in different patterns and crawls across your table, blinking and smiling. It turns and makes fun sounds to engage and captivate your inquisitive toddler. All the while, your toddler's problem solving and sequencing skills is being developed!
A part of a larger trend to introduce coding skills to children. It's an exciting toy that we can't wait to try it out ourselves!

Suffering That Strengthens Faith
By: John Piper
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. (James 1:2-3)
Strange as it may seem, one of the primary purposes of being shaken by suffering is to make our faith more unshakable.
Faith is like muscle tissue: if you stress it to the limit, it gets stronger, not weaker. That's what James means here. When your faith is threatened and tested and stretched to the breaking point, the result is greater capacity to endure. He calls it steadfastness.

"Mississippi born Samuel Jones (b. 1935) is Composer in Residence of the Seattle Symphony, though he has had a decade-long relationship with the Amarillo Symphony, which commissioned Roundings (premiered in 2000) for its 75th Anniversary. Jones' musical style falls within the great American symphonic tradition of Copland, Barber, Hanson, and Piston, utilizing a primarily tonal language accented by occasional dissonant and atonal elements. The title Roundings: Musing and Meditations on Texas New Deal Murals refers to the Depression-era public murals painted under the auspices of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Each of the five murals, connected by a motto theme on the solo cello, depicts an aspect of American life, presenting Jones with the challenge of illustrating them sonically. He does so with some pretty clever orchestral devices, such as the baying French horns imitating a passing train in 'Locomotive', and actual mechanical sounds, like the pre-recorded tractor in "Plow". The music's beauty and narrative quality keeps you ever attentive and listening for the next sequence, which is always rewarding. This effect is no doubt enhanced by the Amarillo Symphony's enthusiastic and expert playing in all sections, and the imaginative leadership of James Setapen.
"Jones' Cello Sonata was commissioned in 1996 by the Fischer Duo for their 25th wedding anniversary (it's persuasively played here by Emmanuel Lopez and Denise Parr-Scanlin). It's a warmly melodic work, in a neo-romantic vein typified by the music of Samuel Barber. The slow movement quotes from the allegretto of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 (a favorite of the pianist), ingeniously incorporating it into the music's structure. Like Roundings, the Sonata is a rewarding musical experience worthy of repeated listening. Naxos has provided beautiful sound for both works."
"In Rounding, a 40-minute orchestral evocation of five public New Deal-era murals written just last year, that personality is populist and patriotic. The murals-'Windmills', 'Oil Well', 'Locomotive', 'Lariat', and 'Plow'-are enclosed by a lofty, sonorous prologue and epilogue, Jones is a resourceful (if staunchly traditional) orchestrator, and his sonic murals are rendered in a highly pictorial fashion. Pounding drilling rigs and swirling string figures in 'Oil Well' break out into a gusher; 'Locomotive' slows down for the station-we hear the train's whistle, bells, screeching brakes, and hissing steam with startling onomatopoeic immediacy-before it accelerates away. 'Lariat' incorporates the inevitable cow-boy songs, while 'Plow' includes a stately hymn. The total effect is brightly colored, cinematic, larger-than-life, oversimplified, naive, steeped in the American nation-building myth of taming the wilderness, settling the frontier, and spanning the continent with railroad, farms, and towns-very much like those New Deal murals themselves.
"Jones uses the solo cello at several key points in Roundings and seems to have a special affinity for the instrument, so it's not surprising he's written chamber music for it. He tells us that his 1996 Cello Sonata is also a programmatic work, though it's hardly what I would call picturesque. It is otherwise similar to Roundings in style: expansive, richly harmonized, traditional (almost Brahmsian) in idiom if somewhat rhapsodic in form. Judicious and sensitive use (avoiding any postmodern discontinuity) is made of the famous theme from the allegretto of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony-so naturally does it become a part of the piece, in fact, that many listeners may not notice the borrowing. Jones's warmth and generosity of spirit shine through every note, and this chamber-music-loving reviewer found the Sonata a more mature and emotionally satisfying work than its orchestral discmate.
"Performances are good (cellist Emmanuel Lopez especially so); engineering is stronger on impact that transparency.
"Cette intéressante série de Naxos nous a valu jusqu'à present quelques découvertes, la plupart du temps heureuses. Ce disque tout récent, en provenance du Texas, présente la musique d'un compositeur apparenté aux grands "tonalistes" comme Barber, Hanson et Copland. L'oeuvre orchestrale est une suite descriptive de tableaux dont une "Locomotive" à faire envie au Pacific 231 d'Honegger...C'est une musique hautement évocatrice, simplement mélodique. La Sonate est une oeuvre très classique qui fait bien chanter le violoncelle."

Hollywood post studio Cinelicious is excited to announce the addition of visual effects creative and finishing services with award-winning VFX Supervisor & Lead Flame Artist Ben Looram. With creative flexibility at the fore, Looram and Cinelicious founder Paul Korver have also launched Cinelicious Take Out, a new model of talent-driven pop-up style visual effects and color creative delivered to any location.
Founder Paul Korver started Cinelicious with an eye to extending the company's creative reach into the full post spectrum. Today, Cinelicious' Hollywood studio is the headquarters for all services for commercial and feature clients including color, telecine, high-resolution film scanning, restoration, and the new Flame suite for VFX & finish. As with set editing or shooting on location, Cinelicious Take Out provides the talent and technology wherever needed by the client, providing flexibility, faster turn-arounds, and a greater integration of creative teams and process.
"With Take Out we're not just providing on-set postproduction rentals. Instead, we are bringing top creative talent and a high-end finishing and color solution into our clients' preferred place of work whether it's at the agency, editorial company on set or at our studio," explains Korver.
The Cinelicious Take Out concept was beta tested by Looram setting up pop-up post at a number of production companies, agencies and editorial houses including Bully Pictures on Casio for The Richards Group, Cosmo Street on Activision for 72 & Sunny and on the upcoming Growth Films feature "The Pursuit of Loneliness."
Looram, whose contributions to commercials, music videos, titles and promos has earned him the industry's highest honors from the Clio awards, Webby Awards, BDA, British Arrows and One Show, among many others. He's a VES award winner for the acclaimed Chris Milk-directed U2/Green Day music video "The Saints Are Coming," and was part of the team honored with the Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Titles Design for HBO's "Carnivale." His credits include the Toyota Sienna online campaign "Swagger Wagon" directed by Jody Hill (Caviar Content) for Saatchi & Saatchi LA, Audi 8's Kenny G "Riot Suppressor" Super Bowl teaser directed by Hungry Man's Bryan Buckley for Venables, Bell & Partners, the global Blackberry Torch campaign co-directed by Henrik Hansen (RSA) and Laban Pheidias for Leo Burnett/Chicago, and Charter Communications directed by Sam Bayer for Fallon and Cindy Crawford Home with Sean Hanish, among many others. Looram engineered and built Flame bays and visual effects studios for Animal West, Butcher Edit and Sway Studios, and had long stints as a visual effects artist at Sea Level and A52. His personal passions in the field are color grading, compositing, beauty & touch-up work and envelope-pushing visual effects.
"I am excited to be working in collaboration with Cinelicious to create visual effects for the commercial industry I love, while extending deeper into the feature film arena," notes Ben Looram. "Take Out takes the pop-up concept to the next level, with the infrastructure and awesome team at Cinelicious. I'd love to have clients come to Hollywood to experience Cinelicious firsthand – but if they can't….we deliver Cinelicious Take Out."

Soon after the House assembled for the two-day extended session, opposition members led by BJP leaders Sushma Swaraj and Yashwant Sinha, demanded Chidambaram to explain to the house the correct position and not issue statements through Central Board of Direct Taxes on the matter when the house was in session.
This sparked off a procedural wrangle and after a 45-minute turmoil, the house was adjourned first for about an hour till 12:45 p.m. without transaction of the listed business.
When the house reassembled deputy chairman K Rehman Khan adjourned the proceedings till 2:00 p.m. as opposition members were unrelenting in their demand.
Swaraj said the proceedings were adjourned for an hour to enable Chidambaram to come to the House to give an explanation on the issue. But "we do not find the Finance Minister and we want him to explain the position in the house."
BJP seeks Chidambaram's resignation
"Even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has spoken on the issue outside the house and it is regrettable that Chidambaram has not come to the house to explain despite the members' demand," Swaraj said.
The deputy chairman repeatedly pleaded for order in the House saying that chairman Bhairon Singh Shekhawat was considering a notice given by AIADMK member N Jothi to discuss the matter and until a decision was taken, the house should carry on with other listed business.
The plea went unheeded as the Opposition kept pressing for an immediate clarification from the Finance Minister and the House was adjourned for the second time.
Earlier Yashwant Sinha said as Finance Minister during the NDA regime, he had given an explanation to the House on an issue that had nothing to do with his official work.
Likewise, Chidambaram should also explain how his wife Nalini appeared in a CBDT case when he is the Finance Minister, he said citing the precedent.
Shekhawat said he had no objection to Jothi raising the issue but it should be done so after giving proper notice The chairman adjourned that House as BJP members rushed towards the Well.

What Are Battery Usage Alerts In Android 7.1.2
Android 7.1.2 is rolling out to Nexus and Pixel phones. It's a smallish update with mostly bug fixes and one noteworthy new feature; Battery Usage Alerts. The name is oddly vague and hints that the feature will alert you when your battery is low. This is in fact not the case. Battery usage alerts doesn't tell you when your device charge is at a certain level/percentage. It tells you when an app is consuming much too much power. As such, these alerts aren't alerts in the strictest sense of the word. It simply highlights the power hungry apps on your device. In older versions you had to manually scan battery usage by apps to see which was draining your battery the most. Now, Android will just filter it out for you in a much smarter way.
View Battery Usage Alerts
Open the Settings app and tap the Battery settings. Tap the overflow button at the top right and select 'Usage alerts' from the menu. You will switch to a new screen that lists all power hungry apps.
How It Works
If you've just received the Android 7.1.2 update the Usage Alerts screen will be empty. In order to get the alerts to work you need to fully charge your device. Battery Usage Alerts look at batter consumption of an app based on how much it drains a fully charged device.
This mean that while the Battery screen will show you power consumption on a per-app basis, the usage alerts screen won't be able to tell which app is unusually power hungry. This difference is important to note. Take the example of the Facebook app which is notoriously power hungry. It's also an app that people use very often. The average person checks Facebook multiple times a day and has notifications turned On for it. If you compare this with the battery consumption of an app like Google Plus which perhaps users check once a week it's not a fair comparison.
The battery usage screen doesn't take into account how long you used an app. It might easily let you believe that a graphics intensive game that you play for three hours is a battery hog. Battery usage alerts on the other hand will examine the overall impact an app has on your device's charge. If two apps that you use for roughly the same amount of time consume disproportionately different amounts of battery then one of them might be a problem. Again, this is conjecture because a game will consume more battery. It's going to be a test of the feature's effectiveness to correctly identify power hungry apps.
