Steph Curry's pregame dance is a national phenomena. Something which simply needs to be seen to be understood. Like a total eclipse of the sun or the Northern Lights. It's magical.
However LeBron James would argue otherwise – and has managed to tell Steph to 'fuck off' in the most beautiful way ever. By taking the royal piss out of his weird dance, reports LB Sports.
Here's the original:
And here's the pisstake:
Although the NBA season is only just beginning, LeBron is taking no prisoners at all with his recent antics at the Cavaliers ring ceremony.
The story goes that after LeBron got given his ring he shuffled his way off into the distance – weirdly similar to the jiggle Curry likes to do.
And Twitter users were quick to take note:
Lebron just made fun of curry bitch ass dance ????

LeBron hit Curry dance ???. Petty. ???

Was it a mockery or was it just a coincidence? I guess we'll never truly know.

While genetics determine an athlete's potential, nurturing innate abilities in the correct sequence determines how closely the athlete reaches peak potential.
For long-term development, follow the First-Things-First theory.
Preventing Arm Injuries in Youth Baseball and Softball PitchersInjury Prevention
In addition to training athletes in the weight room and on the field, I consult with parents, coaches, and athletes about strategies to prevent injuries. I get questions almost weekly with concerns about young pitchers experiencing arm injuries and/or pain. It's common for parents and coaches to ask for exercises to improve arm strength and flexibility. While focusing on the throwing arm seems logical, pitching injuries have more to do with overuse, along with deficits in trunk and lower body strength and mobility.
Free Play and Pick-Up Games are Essential to Athletic SuccessParenting, Coaching, Injury Prevention, Popular
Studies indicate, and parents can verify, that the creativity of free play—without interference from adults—helps kids learn leadership skills, conflict resolution, and problem solving. And for developing motor skills, core strength, agility, balance, and coordination, free play is essential.

Many experts believe and studies confirm that today's culture of early sports specialization with an emphasis on year-round structured training is stunting the mental and physical development of youth. Until about age 12, general athleticism—nurtured with free play and multiple sports—should be prioritized over sport-specific skills. Even after the age of 12, free play—without interference from adults—remains important.

Those who get bit by the educating bug and wish to educate adults could have bother deciding the place they need to train – at a group college, a technical college, or a college. As a trainer at both neighborhood colleges and technical faculties for over 10 years, I've found various perks to show at a group school, but all of them boil down to 1 most important motive: the community school permits instructors to be pupil-centered.
Habit 2 relies on principles of personal leadership, which implies that leadership is the primary creation. Administration is the second creation. Administration is doing things proper, management is doing the right things. Usually people get into managing with effectivity, setting and reaching targets earlier than they've even clarified values. The simplest technique to start with the top in mind is to develop a personal mission assertion or philosophy or creed. It focuses on what you want to be (character) and to do (contributions and achievements) and on the values and rules upon which being and doing are based mostly.
Real knowledge about how our mind works can not come from exterior calculations because its functioning is predicated on summary types. The materialistic studies cannot penetrate into the abstract actions that determine the options adopted by the human mind, nor can it analyze them. This is the reason at the moment's psychiatry can not assist schizophrenic and psychotic patients recuperate their lost conscience.
On the other observe, I went to the free Wealthy Dad Real Property seminar. I was not impressed with it as a result of the man was throwing round tax codes that you simply needed to know to be able to be successful in actual estate. As a tax professional and having rental properties, the codes he was throwing round does not apply to the typical person accumulating actual estate. It was a scare tactic.
I think each ACRP and SOCRA supply glorious instructional alternatives for continuing schooling credits. Since CEUs are required to keep up membership for both organizations they have ample opportunities to earn these credit. I've participated in mostly ACRP courses, nonetheless SOCRA has equally as many opportunities for the clinical analysis skilled. Thanks for your feedback!

handheld game console made by Sony PlayStation PortableLogo and original model of the PSPDeveloperSony Computer EntertainmentManufacturerSonyProduct familyPlayStationTypeHandheld game consoleGenerationSeventh generationRelease date
The PlayStation Portable[a] (PSP) is a handheld game console that was developed by Sony Computer Entertainment as part of the seventh generation of video-game consoles. Development of the handheld console was announced during E3 2003 and it was unveiled on May 11, 2004, at a Sony press conference before the next E3. The system was released in Japan on December 12, 2004; in North America on March 24, 2005; and in the PAL region on September 1, 2005. It competed with the Nintendo DS.
The PSP was the most powerful portable console when it was introduced. It was the first real competitor of Nintendo's handheld consoles after many challengers, such as SNK's Neo Geo Pocket and Nokia's N-Gage, had failed. Its advanced graphics made the PSP a popular mobile-entertainment device, which can connect to the PlayStation 2 (PS2) and PlayStation 3 (PS3) games consoles, computers running Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh software, other PSP systems and the Internet. The PSP is the only handheld console to use an optical disc format – Universal Media Disc (UMD) – as its primary storage medium. It was received positively by most video-game critics and sold 76 million units by 2012.
Several models of the console were released. The PSP line was succeeded by the PlayStation Vita, which was released in December 2011 in Japan and worldwide in February 2012. The Vita has backward compatibility with many PSP games that were released on the PlayStation Network through the PlayStation Store, which became the main method of purchasing PSP games after Sony shut down access to the PlayStation Store from the PSP system on March 31, 2016. Hardware shipments ended worldwide in 2014; the PSP sold 80 million units during its 10-year lifetime. Production of UMDs ended when the last Japanese factory making them closed in late 2016.Contents
Sony Computer Entertainment first announced development of the PlayStation Portable at a press conference preceding E3 2003.[5] Although samples were not presented,[5] Sony released extensive technical details.[6] CEO Ken Kutaragi called the device the "Walkman of the 21st century"; a reference to the console's multimedia capabilities.[7] Several gaming websites were impressed with the handheld's computing capabilities and looked forward to its potential as a gaming platform.[8][5][9]
In the 1990s, Nintendo had dominated the handheld market since launching its Game Boy in 1989, experiencing close competition only from Bandai's WonderSwan (1999–2003) in Japan and Sega's Game Gear (1990-2001).[10] In January 1999, Sony had released the briefly successful PocketStation in Japan as its first foray into the handheld gaming market.[11] The SNK Neo Geo Pocket and Nokia's N-Gage also failed to cut into Nintendo's share.[12] According to an IDC analyst in 2004, the PSP was the "first legitimate competitor to Nintendo's dominance in the handheld market".[13]
The first concept images of the PSP appeared in November 2003 at a Sony corporate strategy meeting and showed it having flat buttons and no analog joystick.[14] Although some reviewers expressed concern about the lack of an analog stick,[15] these fears were allayed when the PSP was officially unveiled at the Sony press conference during E3 2004.[16][17] Sony released a list of 99 developer companies that pledged support for the new handheld.[18] Several game demos such as Konami's Metal Gear Acid and SCE Studio Liverpool's Wipeout Pure were also shown at the conference.[19]Launch
On October 17, 2004, Sony announced that the PSP base model would be launched in Japan on December 12 that year for ¥19,800 (about US$181 in 2004) while the Value System would launch for ¥24,800 (about US$226).[20] The launch was a success; more than 200,000 units were sold on the first day.[21] Color variations were sold in bundle packs that cost around $200. Sony announced on February 3, 2005, that the PSP would go on sale in North America on March 24 in one configuration for an MSRP of US$249/CA$299.[22] Some commentators expressed concern over the high price,[23] which was almost US$20 higher than that of the Japanese model and more than $100 higher than the Nintendo DS.[24] Despite these concerns, the PSP's North American launch was a success.[25][26] Sony said 500,000 units were sold in the first two days,[27] though it was also reported that this figure was below expectations.[28]
The PSP was originally intended to have a simultaneous PAL region and North American launch,[17] but on March 15, 2005, Sony announced that the PAL region launch would be delayed because of high demand for the console in Japan and North America.[29] The next month it announced that the PSP would be launched in the PAL region on September 1, 2005, for €249/£179.[30] Sony defended the high price by saying North American consumers had to pay local sales taxes and that the Value Added Tax (sales tax) was higher in the UK than the US.[31] Despite the high price, the console's PAL region launch was a success, selling more than 185,000 units in the UK.[32] All stock of the PSP in the UK sold out within three hours of launch, more than doubling the previous first-day sales record of 87,000 units set by the Nintendo DS. The system also enjoyed great success in other areas of the PAL region; more than 25,000 units were pre-ordered in Australia[33] and nearly one million units were sold across Europe in the first week.[34]Hardware Main article: PlayStation Portable hardware A PSP-1000: the shoulder buttons are on top, the directional pad on the left with the analog "nub" directly below it, the PlayStation face buttons on the right and a row of secondary buttons below the screen.
The PlayStation Portable uses the common "bar" form factor. The original model measures approximately 6.7 by 2.9 by 0.9 inches (170 by 74 by 23 mm) and weighs 9.9 ounces (280 g). The front of the console is dominated by the system's 4.3-inch (110 mm) LCD screen, which is capable of 480 × 272 pixel display resolution with 24-bit color, outperforming the Nintendo DS. Also on the unit's front are four PlayStation face buttons (, , , ); the directional pad, the analog "nub", and several other buttons. The system also has two shoulder buttons, a USB 2.0 mini-B port on the top of the console, and a WLAN switch and power cable input on the bottom. The back of the PSP features a read-only Universal Media Disc (UMD) drive for access to movies and games, and a reader compatible with Sony's Memory Stick PRO Duo flash cards is located on the left of the system. Other features include an IrDA-compatible infrared port and a two-pin docking connector (this was discontinued in PSP-2000 and later); built-in stereo speakers and headphone port; and IEEE 802.11b Wi-Fi for access to the Internet, free online multiplayer gaming via PlayStation Network, and data transfer.[35]
The PSP uses two 333 MHz MIPS32 R4000 R4k-based CPUs, as a main CPU and Media Engine, a GPU running at 166 MHz, and includes 32 MB main RAM (64MB on PSP-2000 and later models), and 4 MB embedded DRAM split between the aforementioned GPU and Media Engine.[35] The hardware was originally forced to run more slowly than it was capable of; most games ran at 222 MHz.[36] With firmware update 3.50 on May 31, 2007, however, Sony removed this limit and allowed new games to run at 333 MHz.[37]
The PSP is powered by an 1800 mAh battery (1200 mAh on the 2000 and 3000 models) that provides between about three and six hours of gameplay, between four and five hours of video playback, or between eight and eleven hours of audio playback.[16][38]Software System Software Main article: PlayStation Portable system software
The PSP runs a custom operating system referred to as the System Software, which can be updated over the Internet, or by loading an update from a Memory Stick or UMD.[39] The software cannot be downgraded.
While System Software updates can be used with consoles from any region,[40][41] Sony recommends only downloading updates released for the model's region. System Software updates have added many features, including a web browser, Adobe Flash support, additional codecs for various media, PlayStation 3 (PS3) connectivity, and patches against security exploits (and the execution of homebrew programs).[39] The most recent version, numbered 6.61, was released on January 15, 2015.Designs PSP-2000
The PSP-2000, which was marketed in PAL countries as the "PSP Slim & Lite",[42] is the first redesign of the PlayStation Portable. At E3 2007, Sony released information about a slimmer and lighter version for the device.[43] It was released on August 30, 2007, in Hong Kong; September 5 in Europe; September 6 in North America; September 7 in South Korea; and September 12 in Australia. The PSP-2000 system is slimmer and lighter[44] than the original PSP, reduced from 0.91 to 0.73 inches (23 to 18.6 mm) and from 9.87 to 6.66 ounces (280 to 189 g).[43][45]
The serial port was modified to accommodate a new video-out feature, making it incompatible with older PSP remote controls. On the PSP-2000, games only output to external monitors and televisions in progressive scan mode. Non-game video outputs work in either progressive or interlaced mode. USB charging was introduced and the D-Pad was raised in response to complaints of poor performance[46][47] and the responsiveness of the buttons was improved.[48]Memory Stick PRO Duo Slot on a Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core edition PSP Slim
Other changes include improved WLAN modules and micro-controller, and a thinner[49] and much brighter LCD screen. To improve the poor loading times of UMD games on the original PSP,[50] the internal memory (RAM and Flash ROM) was doubled from 32 MB to 64 MB, part of which now acting as a cache, also improving the web browser's performance.[51]PSP-3000
In comparison with the PSP-2000, the 3000, which was marketed in PAL areas as "PSP Slim & Lite" or "PSP Brite", has an improved LCD screen[52] with an increased color range,[53] five times the contrast ratio,[54] a halved pixel response time, new sub-pixel structure, and anti-reflective technology to reduce outdoor glare. The disc tray, logos and buttons were all redesigned, and a microphone was added. Games could now be outputted in either component or composite video using the video-out cable.[55] Some outlets called this model "a minor upgrade".[56]
The PSP-3000 was released on October 14, 2008, in North America; October 16 in Japan; October 17 in Europe;[57][58] and October 23 in Australia.[59] In its first four days on sale in Japan, the PSP-3000 sold 141,270 units, according to Famitsu.[60] It sold 267,000 units during October.[61]
On its release, a problem with interlacing when objects were in motion on the PSP-3000 screen was noticed.[62] Sony announced this problem would not be fixed.[63]PSP Go (N1000) Logo for PSP Go
The PSP Go (model PSP-N1000)[64][65][66] was released on October 1, 2009, in North American and European territories,[67] and on November 1 in Japan. It was revealed prior to E3 2009 through Sony's Qore video on demand service.[68] Its design is significantly different from other PSP models.[65]
The unit is 43% lighter and 56% smaller than the original PSP-1000,[65] and 16% lighter and 35% smaller than the PSP-3000.[69] Its rechargeable battery is not intended to be removed by the user.[70] It has a 3.8-inch (97 mm) 480 × 272 pixel LCD screen,[71][72] which slides up to reveal the main controls. The overall shape and sliding mechanism are similar to those of Sony's mylo COM-2 Internet device.[73]Front view of a closed PSP Go
The PSP Go features 802.11b[74] Wi-Fi like its predecessors, although the USB port was replaced with a proprietary connector. A compatible cable that connects to other devices' USB ports is included with the unit. The new multi-use connector allows video and sound output with the same connector using an optional composite or component AV cable. As with previous models, Sony also offers a cradle (PSP-N340)[64] for charging, video out, and USB data transfer on the PSP Go. This model adds support for Bluetooth connectivity,[75] which enables the playing of games using a Sixaxis or DualShock 3 controller. The use of the cradle with the controller allow players to use the PSP Go as a portable device and as a console, although the output is not upscaled. PlayStation 1 games can be played in full screen using the AV/component cable[64] or the cradle.
The PSP Go lacks a UMD drive, and instead has 16 GB of internal flash memory[66], which can be extended by up to 32 GB with the use of a Memory Stick Micro (M2). Games must be downloaded from the PlayStation Store. The removal of the UMD drive effectively region-locks the unit because it must be linked to a single, region-locked PlayStation Network account. While the PSP Go can download games to itself, users can also download and transfer games to the device from a PlayStation 3 console[76], or the Windows-based software Media Go.
All downloadable PSP and PlayStation games available for older PSP models are compatible with the PSP Go. Sony confirmed that almost all UMD-based PSP games released after October 1, 2009, would be available to download[77][78] and that most older UMD-only games would also be downloadable.[79]
In February 2010, it was reported that Sony might re-launch the PSP Go due to the lack of consumer interest and poor sales.[80][81] In June 2010, Sony began bundling the console with 10 free downloadable games; the same offer was made available in Australia in July. Three free games for the PSP Go were offered in America.[82][83][84][85][86] In October that year, Sony announced it would reduce the price of the unit.[87][88][89] On April 20, 2011, the manufacturer announced that the PSP Go would be discontinued outside of North America so it could concentrate on the PlayStation Vita.[90][91][92][93]PSP Street (E1000)
The PSP-E1000, which was announced at Gamescom 2011, is a budget-focused model that was released across the PAL region on October 26 of that year.[94] The E1000 lacks Wi-Fi capability and has a matte, charcoal-black finish similar to that of the slim PlayStation 3.[94] It has a monaural speaker instead of the previous models' stereo speakers and lacks a microphone.[95] An ice-white version was released in PAL territories on July 20, 2012.[96]Battery Two different battery size standards
To make the unit slimmer, the capacity of the PSP's battery was reduced from 1800 mAh to 1200 mAh in the PSP-2000 and 3000 models. Due to more efficient power use, however, the expected playing time is the same as that of older models. The original high-capacity batteries work on the newer models, giving increased playing time, though the battery cover does not fit. The batteries take about 1.5 hours to charge and last for between four-and-a-half and seven hours depending on factors such as screen brightness settings, the use of WLAN, and volume levels.[97] In March 2008, Sony released the Extended Life Battery Kit in Japan, which included a bulkier 2200 mAh battery with a fitting cover. In Japan, the kit was sold with a specific-colored cover matching the many PSP variations available.[98] The North American kit released in December 2008 was supplied with two new covers; one black and one silver.[99]Bundles and colors
The PSP was sold in four main configurations. The Base Pack, which was called the Core Pack in North America,[100] contained the console, a battery, and an AC adapter.[101] This version was available at launch in Japan[20] and was released later in North America and Europe.[102]
Many limited editions of the PSP were bundled with accessories, games, or movies.[103][104] Limited-edition models were first released in Japan on September 12, 2007;[105] North America and Europe on September 5;[106] in Australia on September 12, and in the UK on October 26. The PSP-2000 was made available in piano black, ceramic white,[107] ice silver,[108] mint green, felicia blue, lavender purple, deep red, matte bronze,[109] metallic blue, and rose pink as standard colors. Several special-edition consoles were colored and finished to sell with certain games, including Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core (ice silver engraved), Star Ocean: First Departure (felicia blue engraved), Gundam (red gloss/matte black), and Monster Hunter Freedom (gold silkscreened) in Japan,[110] Star Wars (Darth Vader silkscreened),[111] and God of War: Chains of Olympus (Kratos silkscreened) in North America, The Simpsons (bright yellow with white buttons, analog and disc tray) in Australia and New Zealand,[109] and Spider-Man (red gloss/matte black) in Europe.
The PSP-3000 was made available in piano black, pearl white, mystic silver, radiant red, vibrant blue, spirited green, blossom pink, turquoise green and lilac purple. The limited edition "Big Boss Pack" of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker had a camouflage pattern while the God of War: Ghost of Sparta bundle pack included a black-and-red two-toned PSP.[112] The Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy Cosmos & Chaos edition that was released on March 3, 2011, has an Amano artwork as the PSP's face plate.[113]

In late 2004, Sony released a series of PSP demo games, including Duck In Water, world/ball, Harmonic City, and Luga City.[116] Demos for commercial PSP games could be downloaded and booted directly from a Memory Stick.[117] Demos were sometimes issued in UMD format and mailed out or given to customers at retail outlets.[118] In addition, several older PlayStation games were re-released; these can be played on the PSP using emulation. As of 2008[update], this feature could be officially accessed through the PlayStation Network service for PlayStation 3, PSP, PlayStation Vita (or PlayStation TV), or a personal computer.[119] Emulation of the PSP is well-developed; one of the first emulators was JPCSP, which ran on Java.[120] PPSSPP is currently the fastest and most compatible PSP emulator; it supports all major games.[121]Notable games
There were 1,370 games released for the PSP during its 11-year lifespan. Launch games for PSP included; Ape Escape: On the Loose (North America, Europe, Japan), Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower (North America, Europe, Japan), Dynasty Warriors (all regions), Lumines (North America, Europe, Japan), Metal Gear Acid (North America, Europe, Japan), Need for Speed: Underground Rivals (North America, Europe, Japan), NFL Street 2: Unleashed (North America, Europe), Ridge Racer (North America, Europe, Japan), Spider-Man 2 (North America, Europe, Japan), Tiger Woods PGA Tour (North America, Europe, Japan), Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix (North America, Europe), Twisted Metal: Head-On (North America, Europe), Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade (North America, Europe, Japan), Wipeout Pure (all regions), and World Tour Soccer: Challenge Edition (North America, Europe).[122][123][124] Additionally, Gretzky NHL and NBA were North America exclusive launch titles. The best selling PSP game is Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, which sold 7.6 million copies as of October 2015.[125]
Other top selling PSP games include Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories,[126] Monster Hunter Portable 3rd,[127] Gran Turismo,[128] and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.[127] Retro City Rampage DX, which was released in July 2016, was the final PSP game that was released. The best rated PSP games on Metacritic are God of War: Ghost of Sparta, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and Daxter,[129] Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is the only PSP game to receive a perfect score from Famitsū.[130] During E3 2006, Sony Computer Entertainment America announced that the Greatest Hits range of budget titles were to be extended to the PSP system.[131] On July 25, 2006, Sony Computer Entertainment America released the first batch of Greatest Hits titles. These titles included Ape Escape:On the Loose, ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails, Hot Shots: Open Tee, Twisted Metal: Head-On, and Wipeout Pure.[132] The PSP Greatest Hits lineup consists of games that have sold 250,000 copies or more and have been released for nine months.[133] PSP games in this lineup retail for $19.99 each.[132] Downloadable games were limited to 1.8 GB, most likely to guarantee a potential UMD release.[134] A section of the PlayStation Store is dedicated to "Minis"; smaller, cheaper games available as download only.Homebrew development and custom firmware Main articles: PlayStation Portable homebrew and Custom firmware PSP-Homebrew
On June 15, 2005, hackers disassembled the code of the PSP and distributed it online.[135] Initially the modified PSP allowed users to run custom code and a limited amount of protected software, including custom-made PSP applications such as a calculator or file manager.[136] Sony responded to this by repeatedly upgrading the software. Some users were able to unlock the firmware to allow them to run more custom content and DRM-restricted software. Hackers were able to run protected software on the PSP through the creation of ISO loaders that could load copies of UMD games from a memory stick.[137] Custom firmware including the M33 Custom Firmware, Minimum Edition (ME/LME) CFWm, and PRO CFWl were commonly seen in PSP systems.[138]Peripherals Component cable, which allows PSP-2000 and 3000 models to output analog stereo audio and analog component (YPBPR) video
Official accessories for the console include an AC adapter, car adapter, headset, headphones with remote control, extended-life 2200 mAh battery, battery charger, carrying case, accessories pouch and cleaning cloth, and system pouch and wrist strap.[139] A 1seg television tuner peripheral (model PSP-S310), designed specifically for the PSP-2000, was released in Japan on September 20, 2007.[140]
Sony sold a GPS accessory for the PSP-2000; this was released first in Japan and announced for the United States in 2008. It features maps on a UMD and offers driving directions and city guides.[141]
After the discontinuation of PSP, the Chinese electronics company Lenkeng released a PSP-to-HDMI converter called the LKV-8000.[142][143] The device is compatible with the PSP-2000, PSP-3000 and PSP Go.[144] To overcome the problem of PSP games being displayed in a small window surrounded by a black border, the LKV-8000 has a zoom button on the connector. A few other Chinese companies have released clones of this upscaler under different names, like the Pyle PSPHD42.[145] The LKV-8000 and its variants have become popular among players and reviewers as the only means of playing and recording PSP gameplay on a large screen.[146][147]Web browser See also: PlayStation Portable system software § Web browser Web browser on a PSP-1000
Remote Play allows the PSP to access many of the features of the PlayStation 3 console from a remote location using the PS3's WLAN capabilities, a home network, or the Internet.[151] Using Remote Play, users can view photographs, listen to music, and watch videos stored on the PS3 or connected USB devices.[152] Remote Play also allows the PS3 to be turned on and off remotely and lets the PSP control audio playback from the PS3 to a home theater system.[153][154] Although most of the PS3's capabilities are accessible with Remote Play, playback of DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, PlayStation games, PlayStation 2 games, most PS3 games, and copy-protected files stored on the hard drive are not supported.[152]VoIP access
Starting with system software version 3.90, the PSP-2000, 3000, and Go can use the Skype VoIP service. Due to hardware constraints it is not possible to use the service on the PSP-1000. The service allows Skype calls to be made over Wi-Fi and – on the Go – over the Bluetooth modem. Users must purchase Skype credit to make telephone calls.[155]Room for PlayStation Portable Main article: Room for PlayStation Portable
At Tokyo Game Show 2009, Sony announced that a service similar to PlayStation Home, the PS3's online community-based service, was being developed for the PSP.[156] Named "Room" (stylized R∞M), it was being beta-tested in Japan from October 2009 to April 2010. It could be launched directly from the PlayStation Network section of the XMB. As in Home, PSP owners would have been able to invite other PSP owners into their rooms to "enjoy real time communication".[157][158] Development of Room halted on April 15, 2010, due to feedback from the community.[159]Digital Comics Reader
Sony partnered with publishers such as Rebellion Developments, Disney, IDW Publishing, Insomnia Publications, iVerse, Marvel Comics, and Titan Books to release digitized comics on the PlayStation Store.[160][161] The Digital Comics Reader application required PSP firmware 6.20.[162]
The PlayStation Store's "Comic" section premiered in Japan on December 10, 2009, with licensed publishers ASCII Media Works, Enterbrain, Kadokawa, Kodansha, Shueisha, Shogakukan, Square-Enix, Softbank Creative (HQ Comics), Hakusensha, Bandai Visual, Fujimishobo, Futabasha, and Bunkasha.[163] It launched in the United States and in English-speaking PAL countries on December 16, 2009, though the first issues of Aleister Arcane, Astro Boy: Movie Adaptation, Star Trek: Enterprise Experiment and Transformers: All Hail Megatron were made available as early as November 20 through limited-time PlayStation Network redemption codes.[164] In early 2010 the application was expanded to the German, French, Spanish and Italian languages.[165] The choice of regional Comic Reader software is dictated by the PSP's firmware region; the Japanese Comic Reader will not display comics purchased from the European store, and vice versa. Sony shut down the Digital Comics service in September 2012.[166]Reception and sales PSP and DS
The PSP received generally positive reviews soon after launch; most reviewers noted similar strengths and weaknesses. CNET awarded the system 8.5 out of 10 and praised the console's powerful hardware and its multimedia capabilities but lamented the lack of a guard to cover the screen and the reading surface of UMD cartridges.[167] Engadget praised the console's design, stating that "it is definitely one well-designed, slick little handheld".[168] PC World commended Sony's decision to build-in Wi-Fi capability but criticized the lack of a web browser at launch, and the glare and smudges that resulted from the console's shiny exterior.[169] Most reviewers also praised the console's large, bright viewing screen and its audio and video playback capabilities. In 2008, Time listed the PSP as a "gotta have travel gadget", citing the console's movie selection, telecommunications capability, and upcoming GPS functionality.[170]
The PlayStation Portable was initially seen as superior to the Nintendo DS when both devices were revealed in early 2004 because of the designers' emphasis on the technical accomplishments of the system. Nintendo of America President Reggie Fil-Aime, however, focused on the experience aspect of the Nintendo DS.[171] The DS started to become more popular than the PSP early on because it attracted more third-party developers. The DS sold more units partly because of its touchscreen, second display, and wireless elements.[172]
Reviews of the PSP Go were mixed. It was mainly criticized for its initial pricing; Ars Technica called it "way too expensive" and The Guardian stated that cost was the "biggest issue" facing the machine.[173][174] Engadget said the Go cost only $50 less than the PS3, which has a Blu-ray player.[175] Wired said the older PSP-3000 model was cheaper and supports UMDs, and IGN stated that the price increase made the PSP Go a "hard sell".[176][177] The placement of the analog stick next to the D-pad was also been criticized.[173][177][178] Reviewers also commented on the change from a mini-USB port to a proprietary port, making hardware and cables bought for previous models incompatible.[175][179] The Go's screen was positively received by Ars Technica, which called the screen's image "brilliant, sharp and clear" and T3 stated that "pictures and videos look great".[173][180] The controls received mixed reviews; The Times described them as "instantly familiar" whereas CNET and Stuff called the position of the analog stick "awkward".[179][181][182] The ability of the device use a PS3 controller was praised by The New Zealand Herald but Ars Technica criticized the need to connect the controller and the Go to a PS3 for initial setup.[173][183]
By March 31, 2007, the PlayStation Portable had shipped 25.39 million units worldwide with 6.92 million in Asia, 9.58 million in North America, and 8.89 million Europe.[184] In Europe, the PSP sold 4 million units in 2006 and 3.1 million in 2007, according to estimates by Electronic Arts.[185][186] In 2007, the PSP sold 3.82 million units in the US, according to the NPD Group[187][188] and 3,022,659 in Japan according to Enterbrain.[189][190][191] In 2008, the PSP sold 3,543,171 units in Japan, according to Enterbrain.[192][193]Region Units sold First available Japan 19 million (as of April 28, 2013) December 12, 2004 United States 17 million (as of March 14, 2010)[194] March 24, 2005 Europe 12 million (as of May 6, 2008)[195] September 1, 2005 United Kingdom 3.2 million (as of January 3, 2009)[196] September 1, 2005 Worldwide 76.3 million (as of March 31, 2012[update])[197][198] —
In the United States, the PSP had sold 10.47 million units by January 1, 2008, according to the NPD Group.[194][199][200] In Japan, during the week March 24–30, 2008, the PSP nearly outsold all of the other game consoles combined, selling 129,986 units, some of which were bundled with Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G,[201] which was the bestselling game in that week, according to Media Create.[202] As of December 28, 2008, the PSP had sold 11,078,484 units in Japan, according to Enterbrain.[191][193] In Europe, the PSP had sold 12 million units as of May 6, 2008, according to SCE Europe.[195] In the United Kingdom, the PSP had sold 3.2 million units as of January 3, 2009, according to GfK Chart-Track.[196]
From 2006 to the third quarter of 2010, the PSP sold 53 million units.[203] In a 2009 interview, Peter Dillon, Sony's senior vice-president of marketing, said piracy of video games was leading to lower sales than hoped.[204] Despite being aimed at a different audience,[205] the PSP competed directly with the Nintendo DS. During the last few years of its life cycle, sales of the PSP models started to decrease. Shipments to North America ended in January 2014, later in Europe, and on June 3, 2014, Sony announced sales of the device in Japan would end. Production of the device and sales to the rest of Asia would continue.[206] During its lifetime, the PSP sold 80 million fewer units than the Nintendo DS.[207]Marketing controversies
In late 2005, Sony said it had hired graffiti artists to spray-paint advertisements for the PSP in seven major U.S. cities, including New York City, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. According to Sony, it was paying businesses and building owners for the right to spray-paint their walls.[208] A year later, Sony ran a poster campaign in England; a poster bearing the slogan "Take a running jump here" was removed from a Manchester Piccadilly station tram platform due to concerns it might encourage suicide.[209]
Later in 2006, news of a billboard advertisement released in the Netherlands depicting a white woman holding a black woman by the jaw, saying "PlayStation Portable White is coming", spread. Two similar advertisements existed; one showed the two women facing each other on equal footing in fighting stances, the other showed the black woman in a dominant position on top of the white woman. Sony's stated purpose was to contrast the white and black versions of the PSP but the advertisements were interpreted as being racially charged. These advertisements were never released in the rest of the world and were withdrawn from the Netherlands after the controversy.[210] The advertisement attracted international press coverage; Engadget said Sony may have hoped to "capitalize on a PR firestorm".[211]
Sony came under scrutiny online in December 2006 for a guerrilla marketing campaign in which advertisers posed as young bloggers who desperately wanted a PSP. The site was created by advertising firm Zipatoni.[212]See also

I lived for a time in Gentilly, right off Chef Menteur highway, so producing the map of the area was like a trip back home. Of course, New Orleans East today is slightly different than the New Orleans East of 65 years ago. Hurricane Katrina really did a number on it. But the area is now home to numerous parks, lots of charter schools, and interesting businesses, not to mention the shoreline of Lake Pontchartrain.
Lakefront Airport is a treasure in itself.
Dedicated on Feb. 9, 1934, Lakefront Airport was originally called Shushan Airport. The Art Deco terminal was New Orleans only commercial air hub until 1946 when Moisant Field opened. The terminal was restored to its original grandeur after flood waters from Hurricane Katrina damaged the structure. Classic wall murals were saved.
For many years, the marshy areas of eastern New Orleans went undeveloped, except for the higher ground along the Chef Menteur ridge and also along the Lake Pontchartrain shoreline.
Early settlement took place along Bayou Saurage, which provided the only access to Fort McComb. The industrial canal, completed in 1923, hindered eastward progress for years due to limited bridge crossings, though Lakefront Airport, built around 1930, brought considerable aviation activity to the Seabrook area.
Major early efforts to develop the area failed, but around 1960, the LaKratt Corp. brought rapid development to the heart of the area, known as "Lake Forest," having purchased 5000 acres from the widow of Joe. W. Brown, who had donated 60 acres to the city for a park.
When new drainage and swamp reclamation became feasible, they finally opened the area for widespread use. The new Interstate 10 High Rise and other road and bridge improvements helped provide access as well.

Community Cabinet meeting set down for Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie has been chosen by the State Government for a Community Cabinet meeting.
It will be held on July 25 and local residents will have a chance to speak with the Premier Barry O'Farrell and his ministers.
The Port Macquarie MP Leslie Williams says it is a great opportunity for people to raise issues of concern.
"This is really exciting news for the mid north coast and obviously for the Port Macquarie electorate to have the entire cabinet here to meet with local people about local issues," she said.
Ms Williams says local residents will have a chance to speak with the Premier Barry O'Farrell and his ministers in private meetings and at a community forum.
"Whilst community groups and other stakeholder groups have got an opportunity to meet with ministers there is also a great opportunity for the public to come along to an open forum.
"I encourage people to take that opportunity and raise questions of concern that they may have," she said.

Donegal island fundraiser to aid four charities
The Arranmore Island charity fundraiser on February 18th will benefit Autism Support Dungloe, the Donegal branch of Down Syndrome Ireland, the Beaumont Hospital Foundation (cochlear implant) and the Katie Rose Foundation.
Arranmore Island
Carolyn email@example.com@dgldemocrat
A group of Arranmore Island mothers are organising a fundraiser to benefit four Donegal charities with links to the island and island children.
The event will be held Feb. 18th at Early's Bar, starting at 9pm. There will be a buffet and music by Green Island, aka Paddy, Connie and Peter, along with Jerry Early, Hugh Nancy Rodgers and "anyone else who would like to give us a song or two", followed by a disco with DJ John Bosco, organisers said.
"It's nice to just give back," said Elaine Boyle, who is organising the event with Sally Brady, Margery O'Donnell, Elaine Sailor, Bernie Green, Anne Sweeney, Florence Calais and Brianne Brady.
The charities include Autism Support Dungloe (ASD); the Donegal branch of Down Syndrome Ireland DSI); Beaumont Hospital Foundation (cochlear implant); and Katie Rose Foundation.
"People have been so generous," Elaine said. Thanks to sponsors' generosity, prizes on the night include a pamper hamper, vouchers, cash prizes and more.
They hope to run the event each year for different charities and have been asked why they did not pick just one.
"You can't pick a favourite child," Elaine said. "Each one is as important as the next, so we went with the four."
The Katie Rose Foundation has its roots on the island. Fiona and Sean Rodgers of Arranmore began the foundation in memory of their daughter Katie Rose, who passed away in 2014 at age 2 from mitochondrial disease. The foundation works to raise awareness of the rare genetic condition and raise money for research into its treatment and cure.
"We are so thankful and so grateful to the community of Arranmore," Fiona said. "They are just a massive, massive support, both personally and to the endeavours of the foundation."
ASD supports children with autism and hosts outings, events and activities; Donegal DSI offers classes and activities for people with Down Syndrome.
Ruby Reynolds, who will be 4 in July, was born deaf, but now can hear because of cochlear implants she received at Beaumont.
Elaine said they hope to inspire larger communities to hold similar events. "We're such a small community, but if we can organise something like this, it may give people a wee kick."

A former Rochester high school tennis coach was arrested in Wisconsin in June as part of an undercover internet child enticement investigation.
Kevin J. Rust, 59, of Minnetonka, is facing charges of use of a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, child enticement and attempt sexual assault of a child younger than 16 years of age. An arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 26 in Barron County Circuit Court in Wisconsin.
Rust, who coached boys and girls tennis at Lourdes for nearly three decades in the 1980s, '90s and 2000s, was arrested June 28 in Rice Lake, Wis., in the parking lot of an apartment complex. Rust was allegedly there to meet a 15-year-old girl he had been exchanging text messages with for about two weeks, according to court records. The girl, "Lyla," was actually an undercover Rice Lake police officer.
"While he denied that he intended to have sex with the person he was communicating with, he did admit that he had traveled more than two hours to meet with 'Lyla' tonight," read the criminal complaint.
Rice Lake Police Officer Heather Wolfe began an undercover internet child enticement investigation March 13, by posting an online ad with the title "younger lady looking for older" on an unnamed website's section that consisted of mostly ads seeking sexual relationships, according to the criminal complaint.
On June 14, Wolfe received a response to the post from a person with initials J.B., according to the complaint.
The response read, "high, you put a post on a while ago looking to hang with an older guy. I just came across it again. I love for you to consider me. I'm not going to write a ton right now, but if you get back to me, I'll tell you all about myself. I hope you still get this," the message read.
Wolfe responded, asking where he was from and asked him to text her. During the course of a few days, the man sent follow-up emails about the number he was given and provided his own.
Text exchanges
Shortly before Rust's arrest, Wolfe was able to identify the person she was receiving text messages from as Rust by using photos he had sent to Wolfe compared with his driver's license photo, according to court documents.
A series of text exchanges was included in the criminal complaint. Rust first texted the number around 10:45 p.m. June 22 and identified himself as "Jay" and asked how old the girl was, according to court records.
"i'm only almost 16 is that ok or no ...," Wolfe wrote in response.
During the initial conversation, Wolfe was asked to send a photo and received one back, according to court documents.
Rust allegedly then told the girl to "save yourself for me" and when asked if he meant until 18, he responded "No I mean now," according to court documents. The messages then turned to a sexual nature.
In subsequent text exchanges, Rust and Wolfe made plans for meetings June 24 and June 26 that did not happen. A third meeting was scheduled for 10 p.m. June 28.
Rust allegedly planned to meet the girl in a mall parking lot in Rice Lake. Surveillance was monitoring the parking lot and saw a vehicle with Minnesota license plates that police determined was registered to Rust, according to court documents.
"During the course of the surveillance, Officer Wolfe had text conversation with Mr. Rust who indicated that he was nervous that he had seen what he believed to be several law enforcement vehicles watching the area," the criminal complaint read.
Wolfe then sent Rust the address to an apartment complex in Rice Lake.
"Mr. Rust's vehicle was subsequently observed entering the parking lot to that apartment complex where officers subsequently made contact with and arrested him," the criminal complaint read.
Rust admitted to sending the text messages, stated that he used the name "Jay" and said that he knew the girl he was speaking to was 15 years old, according to court documents.
Rust stated he believed it was the girl who first brought up the sexual topic and denied he had traveled to Wisconsin that night to have sex with the girl, according to court documents.
Rust was released July 5 on a $5,000 bond.
Coaching career
Rust coached girls and boys tennis at Lourdes High School from 1982 until 2010, and also had a stint in the late 1980s directing the Mayo girls and boys teams.
A longtime tennis teaching professional at the Rochester Athletic Club until leaving there in 2014, Rust had a tennis dynasty with the Lourdes girls.
He coached the Eagles to 11 state championships, including at one point 10 straight championships. Rust also coached eight girls and three boys to state singles championships at Lourdes.
Steve Tacl, who worked with Rust as a tennis professional at the RAC and who coached under him at Lourdes for two years before taking over the girls and boys programs in 2010, said he never witnessed anything inappropriate from him.
Tacl was shocked by the news of Rust's arrest.
"I never saw anything like that from Kevin," Tacl said. "And I never heard any inquiries about him."
Sophia Terzic, a graduate of Lourdes (2014) and the University of Minnesota (2017), was coached by Rust at both places, and had Rust as her longtime personal coach at the RAC. Rust directed her Minnesota club team for two seasons.
Now 22, Terzic said she was stunned by the report on him.
"Kevin was a phenomenal coach and person," Terzic said. "He taught me about tennis and life. I really respected him. I didn't see this coming. None of us saw this coming. I am shocked. I never expected anything like this from him."
As a coach, Rust was regarded as an excellent tennis teacher. But he also prided himself on teaching his players character. He wanted that to be reflected in their on-court behavior.
"My philosophy as a high school coach was always be accountable for what you do, and for how you treat people on the court," Rust said in a 2010 Post Bulletin article, as he reflected on his career.
In 2017, Rust was inducted into the Rochester Quarterbacks Club Hall of Fame.

- Don't be a dick: Translated – be constructive, helpful and positive
- Teach yourself something new on every project
- Be passionate about what you do: If you're not, find something else to do.
- Get involved in the internal and external communities
- Repeat step one
- Know when to run: No one talks about it, but you have to know when to get out of a bad situation. I've been very lucky at AOL to know when it was time to move on to a new group or challenge. Thankfully, I've always found a soft place to land with new challenges.
- Expect change, roll with it, move on: Working in a company means things will change. When you're not in charge, there will be lots of stuff that happens that you don't agree with. You have to know when to fight, when to give up, and when to move on. The quicker you can do all three, the better.
- Update Have a support system: This one comes from Jen's comment. It really helps to have someone in your corner – a spouse, parent, best friend or mentor who you can turn to. My wife is, of course, my most important, but I've had lots of mentors and good managers that have helped point me in the right direction.
- Update Be someone who gets things done: This one is from Joe in the comments, but it's a good one. People don't care about excuses or reasons why things don't happen. Be the one folks can go to and get things accomplished.\
Cool, I think the presentation's all done! Thanks, Jason!
10 thoughts on "Rules for Career Development"
One more: be someone who makes things happen. No one cares about excuses for not getting things done – they care about getting them done. Find ways to solve the problem, even if it means going outside your area of authority.
There's a real advantage to having people know that you can solve their problems for you. Be one of those people.
Here are a few more:
Remember the good managers, learn from them and implement what they did well. Remember the bad managers, and avoid their management style like the plague!
Know when to speak up. If you know that what the team is about to do is the wrong thing, make your feelings understood and make a case for why it should be done a different way.
Do not step on anyone as you climb the ladder, because they will not forget it and give it back to you tenfold on your way back down.
I think you need to re-think what "career development" means. Your list is cool and all, but it's focused on "job advancement" which, IMHO, is not the same as "career development."
Of course, I fail to follow step #1 on your list, but perhaps that's because I'm less interested in "job advancement" as I am "career development."
If I had to choose between "being right" and "being nice," I'd pick the former over the latter any day.
Dossy, you're thinking "skills" development, not "career" development. There's more to a career than what you know – it's how you work with people, how you handle distractions, problems and yes, even politics. Your career is more than just your job, and it's more than just what you know. And, it wouldn't kill you to be nice, Dossy… really.
Hi Kevin,
I think that this list applies equally to both career development AND advancement. So either way, you are right on.
I work with someone who is a #1 and someone else who NEEDS to be a #7. Unfortunately, their career advancement is now in the toilet due to reputation by admin. but more importantly, their job is impeded by their attitudes, thus stifling the work they are capable of doing.
Great list. Wish I could use it when I present at New Teacher Induction but I am pretty sure #1 would get me in trouble unless I could somehow manage to work in "and Jane." 🙂

Mexican Chicken Torta: A Mexican Sandwich made with shredded Mexican chicken, crunchy cabbage, sharp queso fresco, and creamy avocado.
I have a confession to make to you all. I work out while catching up on my DVR cooking shows.
Why is this a confession? Because my workouts can tend to not be very productive.
So as I squat and lunge with my impressive 3 pound weights, I may stop and drool at the food a few times. I may even run to find a scrap sheet of paper to write down an idea for a recipe, or an ingredient I need from the store. So my workout my suffer a bit, but I use my DVR'd shows as motivation to keep working out.
Recently, I was inspired to create a Mexican Torta Sandwich.
What is a Mexican Torta?
A Torta is a type of sandwich from Mexico. Really, a torta is just a fancy word for sandwich or flatbread.
Why in the world I had not yet thought to put a Mexican spin on a sandwich, was beyond me. I could LIVE on easy Mexican Recipes.
I knew I had to try this Mexican Torta thing out.
Chipotle Chicken Torta
This Mexican sandwich is perfection. A soft roll, topped with tender shredded chicken, then finished with fresh tomato, avocado, lime, queso and crunchy cabbage.
I am in love, my husband is in love, and my kids are in love. I am willing to bet you will be in love as well.
Ingredients for Mexican Torta
You can really use any thing you like for this Mexican Sandwich, but I have found that a combination of crunchy, creamy, and fresh work best.
- Shredded Mexican Chicken–I love to use either Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken, Salsa Verde Chicken, or even leftover meat form Pork Carnitas.
- Shredded Cabbage–for color and crunch
- Avocado–for creaminess
- Queso Fresco–for tang and additional creaminess
- Tomato, for brightness
- Onion, for sharp flavor
Tips for Mexican Sandwich
- It is best to serve this sandwich right away, so the bread does not become soggy.
- If you need to make your chicken gluten free, omit beer from recipe and replace with chicken stock.
- If you don't have queso fresco, feta is a great substitute.
- For tips on how to store your leftover chipolte peppers, check out my Freezer Post. You don't want to waste ANY of that great flavor!

Mexican Sandwich Recipe
Chipotle Chicken Torta
For Shredded Chipotle Chicken
- 1 pound chicken boneless skinless breasts
- 1/4 cup chipolte peppers from a can
- 1/2 cup beer I used a mild lager, but chicken stock or orange juice works too
For Sandwich
- 4 soft Bolio rolls or any soft sandwich rolls
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 beefsteak tomato sliced
- 1 sweet onion sliced
- 1 lime
- 1/2 cup queso fresco cheese
- 1 avocado
- salt and pepper
For Chipotle Chicken
- Place the chipolte peppers and sauce, the chicken, and the beer in crock pot. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Shred the chicken with 2 forks.
- For the sandwiches:
- Mash the avocado with the juice of the lime and 1 teaspoon salt. Spread on the the top layer of each roll.
- Layer the bottom of the roll with the chicken, tomato, onion, cabbage, and cheese. Place the top layer of the roll on the bottom and serve (with plenty of napkins.)

Put Orange First - News Update
From Team Orange
It's been a few weeks since I last reported on what's been happening with Put Orange First. There's a reason for that, we've been thinking of how best to utilise the people power of Orange to get the attention of our civic leaders about some of the issues we, the people, think are important.
With that being the case, we recognise that our views are not necessarily the views of the majority and that there are ways that we can harness the collective voice of our residents to help guide the issues we try to get results on.
A little bit of background… Team Orange was formed with a view to finding small ways to improve the mood around Orange. I think we can all agree that Orange is one the best places you could find to live. It's a wonderful place that offers so many opportunities and a lifestyle that is envied. In saying that, our belief from the people we communicate with is that there is a general feeling of apathy and that Orange could be better. As a centre that is attracting more and more young families, there are more and more reasons to make Orange a great place to move to and raise a family.
We feel there a few contributing factors to the mood in Orange…
- Electrolux closing
- Myer closing
- Talk of Big W closing
- A tired main street
- Too many empty shops and lease costs that are too high
- A council that often seems to not be on the same wavelength as their constituents
Now, to be fair, there are many wonderful things happening around town, but our perception is our reality. And the moment we 'feel' a certain way, it can be hard to change those feelings. We in no way want to talk Orange down… we just want to brighten the mood wherever we can.
With that in mind, below are some of the things we believe can make a measurable difference and be quickly delivered to bring more smiles to faces around town:
· Working to bring local business and community in alignment because when they are unison our city will thrive (this is our 'Put Orange First' Community Project)
· Getting toilets built in Robertson Park
· Having colourful flags hanging on the Summer Street flag poles all year round, with the flags highlighting the great aspects of Orange life (not only when events are being promoted).
· Generating a buzz in the CBD via regular 'market-day' style events (you may have noticed our recent 'Pot Luck Saturday' initiative).
· Getting Put Orange First branding on certain vehicles that are highly visible around the city.
· A community pizza oven to be built for the enjoyment of all (more on that idea later)
· Holding our Council more accountable between elections via a means of conveying the feelings of community in a collective manner.
We want your help to let us know if where on the right track and if we are, to convey our feelings to those in positions to make things happen.
To facilitate that, we're asking you to head to our Put Orange First/Team Orange Facebook page (as well as the Orange City Life page if you haven't already liked it) and join us. We are going to be running regular polls via Facebook to vote on issues you think are important. That way, we can collectively work together to drive progress on the issues that are important to the majority of us.
To kick things off, we've identified the toilets in Robertson Park as a hot button issue. It's become our Brexit issue – an issue where our leaders can't seem to find a solution. For more on that, see page 15 of this issue and if you'd like to, fill out the coupon to make your feelings felt!

Well, Wednesday certainly turned out to be pretty full newsday around Washington. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy excited an already overly excited capital by announcing his retirement. Commercial imagery showed the North Koreans upgrading facilities at a nuclear research site. And President TrumpDonald John TrumpHarris bashes Kavanaugh's 'sham' nomination process, calls for his impeachment after sexual misconduct allegation Celebrating 'Hispanic Heritage Month' in the Age of Trump Let's not play Charlie Brown to Iran's Lucy MORE's national security adviser, John Bolton, showed up in Moscow to lock down the details of a Trump-Putin summit. Here's a quick take on the national security implications of each.
We don't usually handicap Supreme Court vacancies through a national security lens, but the court has played an unusually active role since 9/11 as presidents and Congress have tried to adapt to changing threats and exploding technologies. Kennedy joined the majority in pushing back hard during the George W. Bush years against traditional executive prerogatives when it came to prosecuting accused terrorists in front of military commissions, designating enemy combatants, and denying detainees the right to challenge their detention.
At the same time as the Kennedy announcement, we were treated to pictures and a report from 38 North, a North Korean monitoring group, that showed improvements continuing apace at Pyongyang's nuclear research facility at Yongbyon, evidence not quite consistent with President Trump's triumphal announcement that "we will immediately begin total denuclearization of North Korea." Beyond highlighting the obvious gap between rhetoric and reality, the 38 North report also points to the lack of detail in what was actually agreed in Singapore, which was "to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."
Even assuming (which I do not) that North Korea actually means that, there are multiple layers still to unpack: Timetables? Sequence? Inclusion of civilian and scientific efforts? Inclusion of missiles as well as warheads? Inspections? Status of ongoing programs? Reassignment of personnel such as scientists or researchers? The fate of the nuclear industrial base? Defense Secretary James MattisJames Norman MattisTrump needs a national security adviser who 'speaks softly' US could deploy 150 troops to Syria: report Trump blasts 'Mr. Tough Guy' Bolton: 'He made some very big mistakes' MORE had it about right on Wednesday when he quietly observed, "Obviously, we are at the very front end of the process, the detailed negotiations have not begun." Indeed.
It's precisely this kind of presidential post-truth triumphalism that has America's NATO allies concerned about the Trump-Putin summit. They are aware of the president's habit of measuring success by the optics of a meeting, the staged camaraderie, the obsession to enhance the Trump brand even at the expense of demanding meaningful concessions, and willingly paying for the favorable images by granting ruthless dictators absolution, respect and equivalence. Trump agreeing to cancel joint American-South Korean exercises, without telling the Koreans or his own military, and adopting Kim Jong Un's "provocative war games" rhetoric to describe them, adds additional concerns about the fate of American deployments in the Baltics and elsewhere.
Then there is the president's recent language of seeming to sponsor Russia to rejoin the Group of Seven, identifying Crimea as "really Russian," accepting Vladimir Putin's denial of meddling in the 2016 American election, damning NATO as being "as bad as NAFTA," and condemning the European Union as "set up to take advantage of the United States." That's the kind of schtick that might play pretty well on the "Howard Stern Show." Not so much in Brussels, where the president will meet with his NATO counterpart before he huddles with Putin.
Wednesday's image was of the U.S. national security adviser with Putin in Moscow, hammering out the details for the summit meeting, now set for July 16 in Helsinki. I couldn't help but think: Who's that mustachioed American in the Kremlin? And what have you done with the real John Bolton? For more than a decade, the staple of Bolton's public commentary has been that such meetings were beyond useless and doomed to failure. He even called Russia's election meddling an act of war.
But in Moscow he appropriately said that none of that mattered, and that he was there to carry out the president's will. That's what scares the Europeans as they witness what David Ignatius has called the "iron whim" of the Oval Office, which is the president's apparent indifference to history and consequence, and his seeming comfort with autocrats and discomfort with (and bordering on contempt for) democratically elected leaders, such as regularly referring to Canada's prime minister as "Justin" or taunting the German chancellor even as her coalition teeters.
The Europeans know that the president thinks he's on a roll. Justice Kennedy's vote helped validate his "Muslim ban," and Kennedy's retirement gave him a history-shaping choice to make. Validation and opportunity in the same week. He has rarely been this confident in his presidency. All eyes will be nervously on Helsinki.
Gen. Michael Hayden is a former director of the CIA and of the National Security Agency. He is now a visiting professor in the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University and author of "The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies."

Hair Game Strong
Hey guys!
Changing weather and hair woes is something that plagues us all!! Especially in a country like Canada which is super dry and has extremes of temperatures! I'm talking -35 to + 35 degrees Celsius. The wedding was a really good motivator for me to get into hair health!
I have fine and dry hair naturally that is prone to breakage. I blame most of my hair woes on my vegetarian diet! No matter what I try to do, I swear I don't get enough protein. So it is... hair game in a nutshell...
Tip #1 : Protein & Vitamins
Get enough protein in your diet. If you eat meat, you got this easy. For the veggies out there - you got to double up on the quinoa, beans & falafel! 6 months before the wedding I also diligently, key word: diligently, starting taking the following vitamins: Biotin & Silicone.
Now there are hundereds of hair brands out there, promising to work wonders on your hair and its really hard to sort through the clutter. So here comes...
Tip #2: Know your hair & its needs
Whether its assessing for yourself or going to a family doctor, figure out what problems plague your mane. Is it thinning, hair loss, split ends, no hair growth or what? For me, I was for sure thinning ( thanks to internalizing wedding stress - bad idea) and getting tons of split ends, probably due to constant styling. So when wedding time was rolling around I wanted two things: long, soft hair! Other than the vitamins, the #1 game changer for me was stopping heat styling on my hair. It worked wonders to strengthen and grow it.
Its hard to stick to something if you do anything extreme, so just as an update: I now stick to a once a week heat styling rule! And offset it with once a week hair mask (See Tip #4).
FYI: I don't dye my hair, but if you do - you need to take extra steps to nourish it or stop dying it all together and be au natural for your wedding day!
Tip #3: Cut your hair if you want it grow. I know... errbody says it, but its true!
If your hair is splitting at the bottom, even if its growing, it will eventually break off aka the growth will go to WASTE. So trim them split ends. I don't follow any particular time rule. You should be able to look down at your hair and feel the ends and know when its TIME for a trim. My hair as I mentioned before is fine and dry! I try to go for a hair trim every 6-8 weeks to keep it healthy.
Since I was growing it out for the wedding, I did reduce the frequency to only every 12 weeks but I was extra indulgent at home to make sure it doesn't get dry... which brings me to...
Tip #4: Home remedies are best
Yes, home remedies are cheap & work the best. I put organic oils in my hair bi-weekly. This is great for moisture in your strands and stimulating blood circulation in your scalp. And no, your hair doesn't stay oily after the wash. All you need to do is apply your conditioner rule to your shampoo-ing as well. Here are the steps I follow for my fine hair:
Step 1: Heat 2 tsp organic coconut oil + 1 tsb amla oil + 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil in the microwave for 25 seconds.
Step 2: Apply generously while doing circular motions on your scalp. Once done with the scalp, apply remainder oil to your strands.
Step 3: Make a braid or a bun and leave in hair for 1 hour. ( I usually do my laundry, watch a show or write blogs - like this one... during this time since I can't leave the house!)
Step 4: Wash out the oil. Use volumizing shampoo - apply generously on your scalp and lather. Leave it on for 2-4 minutes before rinsing. Use conditioner as usual aka leave on for 2-4 minutes and rinse off.
Step 5: Squeeze out excess water in the shower and dry your hair with a t-shirt.
Step 6: Put in hair products according to your hair type & desired result. (See Tip #5)
Tip # 5 MM top shelf
Its important to use hair products that suit your hair type and your desired results. For growing my hair out for my wedding and even post that, this is whats on my hair top shelf:
Shampoo: Evo, Gluttony volumizing shampoo
Conditioner: Davines, Nou Nou Hair Mask
Treatment (weekly): Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3 (make sure you leave it in for an hour, same way I did for organic oils in the steps above)
Before any styling:
- DRYBAR: Southern Belle Volume-Boosting Root Lifter
- MOROCCANOIL: MoroccanOil Treatment (light)
- MOROCCANOIL: Mending Infusion (for split ends)
Leaving hair natural (my hair is wavy!):
- MOROCCANOIL: Intense Curl Cream for curls or
- BUMBLE AND BUMBLE: Surf Infusion for waves
Heat styling:
- MOROCCANOIL: Perfect Defence (protective spray is a must before any hot tools are used!)
- DRYBAR: Flexible Hair Spray to finish
Lazy hair days:
- MORROCONOIL: Dark tones dry shampoo
That is all from me! My natural hair at my wedding was in good shape. Giving the hair artists a healthy canvas was important, they then built up different looks for every event. I still used extensions to add fullness as my hair is naturally really fine, but i was really happy with the condition of my hair. It was able to take the wear and tear of wedding styling like a champ because it was healthy!
