On Friday afternoon, Michael Schmidt of the New York Times broke the story and identified Alex Rodriguez as the player who allegedly purchased documents from a former employee of Biogenesis of America in an attempt to destroy evidence linking him to the anti-aging clinic's distribution of performance-enhancing drugs.
When the Miami New Times broke the story in January, I remember saying "this is the White Whale. This is the one that will blow the lid completely off the entire steroid and PED scandal."
Since that day more than a dozen players have been implicated and tied to Biogensis including Rodriguez, Melky Cabrera, Gio Gonzalez, Bartolo Colon, Nelson Cruz and Yasmani Grandal and 2012 MVP Ryan Braun.
While they all continue denying everything and scrambling for and convenient excuse they can find, the plot keeps thickening and the sordid details are piling up by the hundreds. Real details and real documents that even MLB themselves are trying to illegally buy at any price to get to the bottom of this and protect what little integrity the game has left.
The person charged with the role of Super Spy is none other than Bud Selig himself who has been authorizing and signing off on huge sums of cash that is being used to secure whatever documents they can get their hands on from former employees of the lab who are now all seeking to pay off their significant mounting legal fees.
And while Alex Rodriguez is no less guilty of doing the same thing, there is a huge difference.
MLB wants those documents so they can go after every player that is implicated and try to clean up the game.
A-Rod on the other hand, was seeking to get those documents and destroy them before the FBI or MLB got a hold of them.
But wait, there's more…
Of course, Rodriguez flatly denied the accusation through a spokesman, but then he dropped another bombshell alleging that it was the New York Yankees that were paying for and buying those documents from the rogue former employee. Wow…
Oh and one more thing… Let's stop calling them documents and lets start referring to them instead as illegally obtained evidence to hinder an ongoing federal, state and MLB investigation.
These are all allegations at this time, but when this is all over, I think more than a few people, including players, will be looking at life from a different perspective…

The family that costumes together, stays together.
I had a lot of fun this Halloween doing costumes. Originally, Bailey was supposed to be Ash from The Fantastic Mr. Fox. But when we went to our local Goodwill for dress up clothes, he found a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume. Being a 4 year old, that was that! So the only thing I had to do was make him a blue mask- which I did out of felt.
I made Silas a little gnome costume. I knit the hat and the beard. I just whip stitched the beard to the hat so now I can remove it and Silas can just wear the hat. Although babies with beards are pretty cute. I bought some fleece and quickly sewed together a tunic and belt.
I made myself a Marge Simpson costume. I crocheted the wig/hair, then stuffed it with a balloon and bubble wrap. I knit my necklace and used some green fleece to make the dress. And I bought a yellow long sleeve shirt to keep me warm while trick or treating.
My husband went as Ace Ventura Pet Detective. I found the shirt at another thrift store and quickly made him the pink tutu. Love it!!
Lastly, I helped my brother-in-law with his costume. He wanted to go as his brother- my husband! I snuck out some clothes, a hat and shoes. And I found a moustache for him to wear. So funny. I love Halloween!

SANTA CLARA — Al Netter, an offensive lineman who spent last season on the 49ers' practice squad, got arrested Wednesday in San Jose for allegedly driving under the influence, according to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
His is at least the fourth such arrest involving a 49ers player since 2010, with the others involving Ray McDonald (June 2010), Aldon Smith (January 2012) and Demarcus Dobbs (November 2012).
"The 49ers are aware of the recent matter involving Al Netter," a 49ers spokesman stated. "We take these issues very seriously, but will reserve comment at this time as this is an ongoing legal matter. The organization will continue to gather the facts and monitor the developments closely."
Netter, a Rohnert Park native, reportedly was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol and had a blood-alcohol content above the legal limit of .08.
A CHP spokesman said no further details of the arrest would be available until Monday.
The 49ers re-signed Netter on Feb. 7 to a reserve/future contract. He joined the club last spring as an undrafted free agent out of Northwestern.
Netter's last post on his Twitter account is from Tuesday, showing a photo of his bowling score in a match with fellow first-year 49ers linemen Joe Looney and Kenny Wiggins.

Do y'all have any suggestions/helpful hints for adding pictures to a quilt? I am making a truck quilt for my 2 year old grandson and want to add pictures of our family on one side of the quilt. His daddy is being relocated with his job and I thought it would be nice to include pictures of us on the quilt for him to keep us in his mind. There is a quilt store close to me that will transfer a picture onto fabric. I assume I can treat it like any other fabric but thought I might see what y'all say.
Thanks for any input.

Some small points about bowing. See: Proper Bowing.
When you bow, you should place your hands lightly against the sides of your legs (or on the front of your thighs in some styles). You should not slap your hands against your legs. This would be rude. A bow should be very composed and quiet.
You should also complete the bow before stepping in any direction. Some students begin to step while they are still rising. The bow is not complete until you are standing straight. It is important to maintain zanshin (an attentive mind at the end of something) at the end of the bow. Don't let your mind run off and don't run off yourself.
Many times when a student steps before the bow is complete, his or her hands swing forward. This should also be avoided.
In my dojo, we look at the partner's feet when bowing. We do not look at the partner's eyes. This would be considered rude. While looking at the partner's feet (or ankles), we maintain peripheral vision so that we can see him (in the rare case of an attack). To look at the partner's eyes could be interpreted as a challenge.
Be sure to follow the etiquette taught in your dojo. I understand that in Kendo, however, students are taught to look at the partner's eyes. This is considered proper and polite.
Take the time to bow correctly. It will reflect positively on you.

AOA001 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 678 diseños de 139 diseñadores freelance.
Angle of Attack
Angle of Attack is an online community that teaches flight simmers how to fly, using video training. We have product, but we are shifting our focus as a brand to recognize deeper emotions in our fans. Our mission is to spread a wealth of knowledge through aviation.
Angle of Attack is derived from an Aerodynamic Term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_attack
Basically, without increased positive Angle of Attack, flight wouldn't be possible.
Flight simulation is a small niche of the gaming market. Basically, people from around the world use Microsoft Flight Simulator and other flight sims, then 'add on' realistic aircraft that are professionally developed.
We simply share our knowledge from real world aviation with a crowd that loves to sit down in front of a computer for hours and get lost in this virtual world.
Don't waste my time if you're not experienced (no offense)
With that said, if you think you have something very, very compelling, submit it.
I'll guarantee the contest when I see a design I want.
Be Creative
Loves aviation in some way (You don't have to be a fanatic)
Keep to the general color scheme of our website.
I want a MARK/SYMBOL, not a logo. Something recognizable like the Nike swoosh. (that's a tall order) I don't mean that I want a swoosh. What I mean is that when someone sees the Nike swoosh, they know exactly what it is.
MARK/Symbol and Text (both need to look great together)
In other words, the typography is nearly as important as the mark (you can design them in 2 separate parts, as long as they would look great together)
The simpler the better.
The more diverse the design can be through different sources of media, the better. (TV, print, web)
I'm a fan of Sans Serif, but we can try anything.
Have fun.
If you're really excited about this project, we can hookup on a Skype chat and talk about this brand. I feel you'll have a better feel of who we are if you do that.
My Skype username is angleofattack001
Message me if you have questions.
I'll be VERY involved in this process.
Break all the rules if you want to. You are the designer.

KLAUS MIKAELSON, THE ORIGINAL VAMPIRE/WEREWOLF HYBRID, RETURNS TO NEW ORLEANS IN THIS SPIN-OFF OF "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES" - Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan), the original vampire-werewolf hybrid, has returned to the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans - the city his family helped build 300 years ago. Determined to help his brother, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) leaves their sister Rebekah (Claire Holt) behind and follows Klaus. Elijah learns that the beautiful and rebellious werewolf Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) - Klaus' onetime flame - has fallen into the hands of a powerful witch named Sophie Deveraux (Daniella Pineda). When Sophie reveals some life-changing news, Elijah realizes that the Original family may have been given a second chance at humanity and redemption. Klaus, however, is more intrigued by his recent unexpected reunion with his former prot�g�, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), a charismatic but diabolical vampire who now has total control over the supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans. Klaus vows to reclaim what was once his - the power, the city and his family. The series also stars Leah Pipes as Cami and Danielle Campbell as Davina. Chris Grismer directed the episode written by executive producer Julie Plec and co-executive producer Michael Narducci (#102.)

The following is excerpted from Mayor Don Wesely's remarks at the January 12th Freedom Breakfast honoring the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Dr. King, in his short life, brought to the forefront the wrongness of discrimination, hatred and bigotry, while exemplifying the virtues of love, peace and nonviolence. In Dr. King's letter from the Birmingham Jail written April 16, 1963, he answers the church people who criticized him for 'unwise and untimely' demonstrations. He wrote, 'Let us hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow, the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.' We strive as individuals, we work as a community, and we seek as a nation the realization of this message."

Freshman pitcher Whitney Kiihnl has been named "Freshman of the Year". This marks the first time a Lady Bisons softball player has earned A-Sun Player of the Year honors in any category. The conference coaches and sports information directors vote on the team.
"I think it is very well-earned," said Peck. "Whitney is very deserving.
"I feel like she is the best freshman in the conference. She really stood out and the impact on our team and our success this year has been great than any other freshman in the conference."
Kiihnl is second overall in the A-Sun in ERA (1.37), third in opponent batting average (.197), fourth in strikeouts (197), fifth in wins (16) and sixth in innings pitched (174).
Like most freshmen, Kiihnl has experienced both highs and lows this season, but she stays on an even keel emotionally.
"Whitney is very unassuming about what she does," said Peck. "She goes out and does her business. She is one of the most humble kids I have ever been around.
"Her teammates know that game in and game out she is going to give us a chance to win. She is going to be out there giving her all every time. She has handled pressure situations all year starting with her season debut against No. 19 Louisiana –Lafayette, which was a loss, but a good outing."
First baseman Kellie Sirus was named First Team All-Conference. She was a preseason All-Conference selection as well this season.
Sirus was A-Sun Player of the Week (April 27). Overall in the A-Sun she was first in batting average with two outs (.524), third in total bases, fourth in batting average (.411), fourth in slugging percentage (.709), fourth in doubles (14), fifth in on base percentage (.472), tied for fifth in hits (65), tied for seventh in runs (40), seventh in RBI (44) and seventh overall in A-Sun in home runs (11).
"Even if Kellie doesn't get a hit she does so many good things for our team," said Peck. "She rarely strikes out. She only has 10 on the year. For a player in the middle of the lineup put up the numbers she puts up from both an average and power standpoint really makes her a huge threat. "We have used her all over the field. This year she has played the most at first, but as also played time at third. She is very deserving of this honor."
Five Lady Bisons were named to the All-Conference Second Team_ Kiihnl, catcher Mollie Mitchell, center fielder Lauren Dortwegt, shortstop Abby Keese and designated player Christen Campbell.
In addition to Sirus, Kiihnl, Mitchell, Keese and Campbell earned A-Sun Player or Pitcher of the Week honors this season.
Sirus, Dortwegt, Keese and Campbell are all juniors. The Lady Bisons do not have a senior on the team this season.
"Two years ago when those juniors were freshmen we knew they were going to be special," said Peck. "We knew they had the potential to be great players here for us. They keep getting better and better every year.
"To see them make the All-Conference team is gratifying for me. Lexi (Myers, assistant coach) and I get to see their day-to-day progress, the hard times they go through and the tiniest of successes that they see."
Kiihnl and Mitchell were unanimous selections for the A-Sun All-Freshman Team. Also named to the team were second baseman Courtney Billington and outfielder Caroline Mason.
"From a freshman standpoint it really makes a statement that we are not just a team that relies solely on our juniors," said Peck. "Four of our five made the All-Freshman Team.
"I think that speaks volumes for what they have come in and been able to do early on. For Mitchell and Kiihnl to also make the All-Conference team too speaks very highly of our future. We are building a team year-in and year-out that is going to do good things. We are not here just to compete for this year and next year."

Kovacevic: Sorry Steelers at crossroads
HOUSTON — One cringe-worthy, panoramic scan of the Steelers' locker room at Reliant Stadium told the story late Sunday afternoon.
In one corner, nose tackle Casey Hampton was bristling when asked how the once-proud, now-porous defense could possibly — even mathematically — allow Houston's offense to go 115 yards on 19 plays for its first drive.
In another, $61 million linebacker LaMarr Woodley was explaining his whereabouts during the game. I missed the alibi.
In another, tight end Heath Miller was speaking the glaring truth of this ghastlier-than-the-score 17-10 loss to Houston: "It's fair to say every man in this room can improve."
And sitting all by himself, silent amid the carnage, was Ben Roethlisberger. But only after the quarterback was helped into the room by two team employees, his left ankle iced and bandaged.
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2011 Pittsburgh Steelers.
Or as linebacker James Harrison summarized in what might soon appear on T-shirts in the Strip: "We stink."
If only everyone associated with the team could see that, maybe something could be done about it. As it is, the Steelers remain stuck in a Texas-sized state of denial. Most players talked about "just getting back to tackling," to borrow Woodley's term, or about other aspects of execution. Coach Mike Tomlin was no exception, saying, "We understand that our issues are fundamental. We've got to do the basic football things a little better than we are now."
Just fundamentals?
A little better?
Are you buying this?
Count me squarely in Harrison's corner. Yeah, the Steelers deserved the benefit of the doubt after Baltimore. Anything's possible in an opener. And yeah, I saw traces of encouragement in how the Steelers took care of Seattle and Indianapolis, despite the caliber of competition.
Not this one.
This was a matchup against a legitimate if unspectacular opponent, and the Steelers earned a D-minus grade at best. This was a team that not only wasn't making plays but also looked like it was incapable of making them. This was a team that looked — all together now — old and slow, not to mention undisciplined, unmotivated and unprepared.
The Steelers could have shut everyone up, once and for all, about the age thing. Instead, they attached an exclamation point to it.
Funny thing, though: The season isn't lost. Not yet, anyway. The record is 2-2, with Tennessee, Jacksonville and Arizona on the horizon. All kinds of Browns and Bengals remain. But Tomlin and general manager Kevin Colbert need to work off Harrison's evaluation rather than pretend that all they need are a few tackling drills on the South Side.
That means making real changes, and I can think of three places to start:
1. Find offensive tackles.
Seriously, this is getting dangerous. Every snap Roethlisberger takes behind Trai Essex, Marcus Gilbert and any other tackle on this roster, he's another step closer to injured reserve. It doesn't have to be Max Starks or Flozell Adams. Hold open tryouts for exceptionally large men. Do something.
2. Reset the defensive line.
The embarrassing run defense is the easiest to address. For all that Aaron Smith has achieved for the franchise, he's not getting it done now. Benching him would be silly, but spelling him and Brett Keisel after Keisel returns would put fresh, young Ziggy Hood and Cam Heyward on the field. That could help Woodley and the pass rush, too.
This week, it was Arian Foster running for 155 yards. What will Chris Johnson do next week?
3. More Isaac Redman.
Redman's talent doesn't compare to Rashard Mendenhall's, but it was impossible not to notice that Redman's entry in the second half — six carries, 40 yards — sparked the offense. He hit the holes with authority. He dragged guys with him. He looked like he wanted to be out there, for crying out loud.
From there, the Steelers must pick up their chins. They're either going to embrace one last chance to succeed with this not-so-long-ago illustrious group, or they're going to throw it away. People need to step up, and not just the battered quarterback.
Safety Troy Polamalu was asked if the Steelers can recover.
"I would hope," he replied softly. "Only time will tell if we answer the bell or not."
Time isn't on their side.

Do you need a specialist in water repair around Cape Coral? Have you been looking for a water damage restoration specialist in your area without success?
Water damage or flooding inside a business or home occurs accidentally. It can occur from any water supply source. It occurs randomly when unexpected. But irrespective of the causes, water damage repair expenses are usually covered by a policy on property insurance.
Flooding can be disturbing and stressful, but it's important not to panic on such occasions. It's not advisable to call your insurance company immediately on such situations. There are certain water damage situations that can be solved without filing an insurance claim. Again, it's always important to have an expert on water damage repair to first assess the scope of loss and minimize further damages from occurring.
It is at this moment that you can entertain the prospect of filling a claim. This is after you have completely stopped the damage from spreading any further. It is after doing this that you will be able to establish whether the loss is covered by your policy or not. Do not first contact the claim department in order to obtain information on policy, the best option is making contact with your insurance agent first.
In Cape Coral, we have an insurance specialist at Master Restoration. Over the years, we have been dealing with losses associated with water repair damages. In more than ten years we have been offering water clean up services in Cape Coral and its environs. Many companies have come and gone but our company remains the leading in terms of affordability and offering satisfactory services.
Initially we began with a single van and one employee; but today we boast of having a fully trained and trustworthy crew of employees. Furthermore our employees are screened and have received background checks that are exceptional. The employees here are trained in;
– -Mold remediation
– – Lead-based paint
– -Water damage restoration
So if you are one of the victims of flooding or any water damage related type in Hillsborough County and need water restoration services, we have certified experts on water damage restoration who are willing to assist.
Water damage Cape Coral materials must be repaired immediately by a professional contractor who is qualified in handling water damage restoration. If action is not taken immediately, a major structural damage may spread in a commercial or residential facility..
Time is of essence when dealing with wood floors, wet carpets, wet dry ceilings, important documents, ceilings and other important documents damaged by water. Mold begins germinating on wet materials in 24 hrs after getting intruded by water.
– Removal of excess water or water extraction is always the first step when doing repairs on water damages. water extraction is then followed by drying of contents and other materials affected by water.
– This process takes between 2 to 5 days and there are many way of achieving it. Air movement and dehumidification are the two major methods used in mitigating water loss.Response time is always critical while dealing with water extraction (water removal). When water is allowed to linger for a long time, more saturation sets in.
Just because you do not see it does not mean that it is not there. We have trained technicians and moisture meters that assist in finding moisture that is hidden in spaces that are hard to spot and cavities that are found in your office or at your home. We keenly look for water hiding in baseboards, walls, fish tanks and carpet pads .When you call the reception at Cape Coral area, the extraction experts will respond in less in less than one hour.
A case of water damage that has minimal saturation is always easy to resolve. The moment maximum saturation sets in; a lot of structural alterations may be needed. This makes the project more costly. The first step is to always remove the standing water. This always helps in reverting the situation back to normal. Regardless of whether it's during the day or night, regardless of the day of the week, our company has an emergency restoration team that responds 24/7 on water removal cases.Do not waste any time when you desperately need our services. Call us any time; we respond with the speed that fire departments respond to emergencies!

Wambach has excess motivation for Olympics
When Abby Wambach posed for ESPN the Magazine's Body Issue, many questioned her motives. The gritty, 32-year-old U.S. soccer star responded by speaking glowingly of her body. That's because it was built to take punishment, and it's done that. Beautifully. "If you're an athlete and you've worked your whole life on your body, your body becomes your machine," Wambach, 32, said last Tuesday from New York City, where she was on a layover with the American squad headed to London.… Read More »

I just came across these hand-painted and/or hand-wrapped bangles from Aramar this morning, and am already smitten. An armful of bracelets is an easy way to create a focal point for an otherwise plain outfit. And who wouldn't love to have some of these brightly colored, hand-crafted pretties dangling around their wrists?
It's difficult to choose, but I think my favorite is the yellow with the bicycle - it's just so bright and fun!

After months of speculation, teaser photos and heavily camouflaged prototypes caught testing on the roads of Italy and the famed circuits of Europe, Ferrari's next-generation supercar was revealed Tuesday morning at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.
All this for a car called LaFerrari. And it's a hybrid.
That's right; the highlight of the Geneva show and one of the most widely anticipated debuts of all of 2013 is a car whose name translates to TheFerrari. And it's not a Ferrari LaFerrari. It's just LaFerrari. And no, it has nothing in common with Renault's Le Car, including an expected price of more than $1 million.
Although the name of this supercar may not live up to that of its predecessor -- the Enzo, named for the founder of the company -- the performance specs definitely will.
Photos: Ferrari's all-new hybrid LaFerrari supercar
The LaFerrari has a whopping 949 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, with 789 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque coming from a 6.3-liter V-12 engine with a righteous 9,250 RPM redline and a 13.5:1 compression ratio.
Working with this V-12 is an electric motor making an additional 161 horsepower, while a second, smaller electric motor powers the car's ancillary systems. Power is pushed to the rear wheels via a seven-speed, dual clutch gearbox.
LaFerrari's batteries weigh just 132 pounds and are mounted to the chassis. The car recharges them with regenerative braking when slowing down, and by using the engine's excess torque when it's not needed -- during cornering, for instance.
The chassis of the LaFerrari is made from several composite materials including carbon fiber and Kevlar. The driver and passenger seats are part of this structure and are built right into the composite tub. When it comes time to adjust your driving position, you don't move closer to the steering wheel and pedals, they move closer to you.
Ferrari didn't reveal the curb weight of the car, but it's expected to be around 2,800 pounds. That's about the same as an average compact car. Add 949 horsepower to this mix, and you have a potent supercar, as indicated by the LaFerrari's performance figures.
Ferrari says the car will go from zero to 62 mph in less than three seconds, zero to 124 mph in less than seven seconds, and zero to 186 mph in 15 seconds. Its top speed will be faster than 217 mph.
In addition to this straight-line speed, Ferrari also says the LaFerrari lapped its Fiorano testing track in 1 minute, 20 seconds. That's five seconds faster than the Enzo supercar the LaFerrari replaces, and three seconds faster than the company's F12Berlinetta.
Ferrari said it will make just 499 copies of the LaFerrari. The automaker didn't disclose pricing at Geneva, but don't expect it to be any cheaper than its close competitor, the McLaren P1. That 903-horsepower supercar -- also a hybrid -- debuted at Geneva with a price tag of $1.15 million.
Given the speed and specifications of the LaFerrari, it's inevitable that the car will long be compared with the P1. That the battle for supremacy between these two titans of F1 motorsport would spill into their road cars is collateral damage everyone benefits from. No matter what you name the cars.

Comet Lovejoy spotted plunging toward fiery doom
Space ice-lump to melt away above the far side of the Sun
The comet Lovejoy has been snapped by ESA and NASA's SOHO spacecraft merrily continuing on its path to obliteration in the Earth's sun.
Comet Lovejoy plunging towards the Sun. Credit: SOHO/LASCO (ESA/NASA)
Lovejoy, first spotted on December 2, is on a course to plunge destructively towards, but not quite into, the Sun later on today, as its icy body disintegrates in the Sun's heat.
The comet will pass around 140,000 km above the solar surface, where it will be unable to withstand the temperatures.
Comets are, as a rule, loosely collated collections of ice and rocks that are prone to disintegration at any time, but Lovejoy is making sure of its demise by throwing itself into the furnace of the Sun's heat.
The timely end of the comet will not be visible from Earth, because it will take place at the far side of our star.
Lovejoy comes from the Kreutz group of comets, believed to be the fragments of a much larger comet that broke up centuries ago.
Other Kreutz comets have had bright futures ahead of them, in fact, very bright, with comet Ikeya-Seki becoming so bright in 1965 that it was visible even in the daytime sky.
Poor Lovejoy will not reach these dizzy heights before its immolation, but it's still reckoned to be quite bright, and was actually first discovered by a ground-based telescope.
"On average, new Kreutz-group comets are discovered every few days by SOHO, but from the ground they are much rarer to see or discover," said Karl Battams of the Naval Research Laboratory. "This is the first ground-based discovery of a Kreutz-group comet in 40 years." ®

BWW Reviews: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - A Guaranteed Good Time
The musicalized version of Frank Abagnale, Jr.'s jet set life, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, flies into the Hobby Center this week. With a strong opening night crowd and performance, this toe-tapping musical is sure to put a smile on your face and make you feel great. Marc Shaiman wrote the catchy score with lyrics by Scott Whitman and Marc Shaiman. Yet, audiences may better recognize this duo as the real-life composing team behind the hit songs for the fictional musical BOMBSHELL on NBC's SMASH.
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN opens with Frank Abagnale, Jr. being caught by FBI Detective Carl Hanratty in an airport. Hanratty tells Frank that the show is over, which sparks a thought in Frank's head. Before we know it, the scene is transformed and Frank Abagnale, Jr. is hosting THE FRANK ABAGNALE, JR. SHOW, and the audience is his studio audience. He recounts his life from the moment he ran away from home as a teenager until Hanratty caught him. As he narrates his tale, the audience is witness to his career of crime cashing bad checks, impersonating a pilot, impersonating a doctor, and forging the credentials that qualify him to take and actually pass the Louisiana Bar Exam. Of course, there are many girls and women who keep him company along the way, but he can't help falling in love with one special southern belle, Brenda.
In New York City, Jack O'Brien directed the energetic, feel-good production. Matt Lenz has recreated his direction for the tour. The team keeps the jokes coming and the action moving along at an agreeably brisk pace. They utilize a large screen as a backdrop to change scenes with some other scenic pieces being walked in and out by the cast, which allows transitions to be both instantaneous and fluid.
Jerry Mitchell created the original Choreography for the musical, with Nick Kenkel recreating it for the tour in addition to adding additional choreography. The choreography is flashy and showy. It perfectly hides a lot of the scene transitions and is constantly entertaining.
Starring as Frank Abagnale, Jr., Stephen Anthony has a magnetic charisma that is impossible not to like. His delightful tenor voice has fantastic clarity, making each number sparkle with vibrant life. He wins the audience over with "Live in Living Color," breaks our hearts with the sobering first verse of "Someone Else's Skin," and astounds with a stirring rendition of "Good-Bye."
As Carl Hanratty, Merritt David Janes easily steals the show every scene he is in. His comedic timing is immaculate and his rich baritone voice is strong and engaging. He radiantly shines when performing "Don't Break the Rules" and "The Man Inside the Clues."
The smooth tongued and charming Frank Abagnale, Sr., is adeptly played by Dominic Fortuna. The audience easily sees where Frank Jr. gets all of his skills and wily charms during the exhilaratingly performed "The Pinstripes Are All They See."
Caitlin Maloney breathes such fascinating life into Frank's mother, Paula, that the audience is remiss that the role is not larger. Her rendition of "Don't Be A Stranger" is brilliant and depressing at the same time.
Aubrey Mae Davis is lovely and bubbly as Brenda, Frank's love interest. One can't help but think that she would make a fantastic Elle Woods in LEGALLY BLONDE. She really gets to wow the audience with star power in her big ballad, "Fly, Fly Away." Despite a shaky beginning on opening night, she pulled out all the stops for an impressive ending that left the audience awestruck by the end of the number.
As with shows like RENT and LES MISERABLES, the remaining members of the cast are constantly busy during the show. They dance and sing in almost every scene and never show any sign of fatigue. They expertly portray a myriad of characters and really add a lot of meat and pizzazz to the tale, ensuring that this musical delivers the full package.
The onstage orchestra is phenomenal. Matthew Smedal does a wonderful job directing them and cueing the music perfectly. Paces and tempos are wondrous, and the music is made memorable by their performance. I defy anyone to not walk out humming "Live in Living Color." If I could have one request, I'd love to see the orchestra let loose and move and sway the way that jazz bands usually do.
Bob Bonniol's Video System and Content Design is an intriguing way to reduce touring costs by not having physical set pieces flown in to show location. It is used to great affect in CATCH ME IF YOU CAN once the audience is no longer distracted by its novelty. Since it is not projections, it shines brighter than audiences are used to and appears to be able to do more tricks in displaying images. It wasn't until the end of "The Pinstripes Are All They See" that I finally got used to seeing it as a fanciful background and I was no longer constantly checking it and even watching it change. Other than missing moments from the first 10 minutes, the screen was no problem.
Without a doubt one of the best stars of the show is William Ivey Long's inspired and mesmerizing Costume Design. Whether it is a sparking Pan-Am jacket or pieces made to represent a Swiss Army Knife, an India Ink well, and Elmer's Glue, each and every piece is simply marvelous in creation and really does its fair share of work to expose the audience to both the time period and the mood of the scene.
Kenneth Posner's Lighting Design uses a nice touch of humor in the way the follow spots are used, especially as the musical first transitions into Frank's show. As the show progresses, it keeps all the action well lit and ensures that the audience knows where to focus at all times.
Sitting in Row P of the center orchestra, I heard every spoken and sung line with precise clearness. The music was mixed at an enjoyable volume and sound effects were both effective and satisfying additions to the show. Therefore, Peter McBoyle's Sound Design faultlessly does everything that it should.
Troika Entertainment's national tour of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is a fantastically fun evening out at the theater. The light and fluffy, feel-good show is the kind that guarantees some good laughs and sends the audience out uplifted and smiling. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is musical eye and ear candy at its finest.

Open Hardware for KDE
From its beginning, KDE has been a leader in innovation in free (libre) and open source software (FLOSS), but there is a threat to that leadership in one of the fastest growing areas of technology. The advantages of free and open development and use are clear for software; now closed and proprietary strategies have become standard in other kinds of technology. The need for technology freedom has moved from software to other more corporate-controllable areas—notably hardware and the Internet.
As was the case when KDE started, community-developed, freedom-oriented technology is necessary to break the stranglehold of large companies that are more committed to managers and investors than to users. But this won't be easy and it can't be left to a few people. The entire KDE Community has a stake in the outcome. For that matter, this should be a concern to anyone who develops free and open software, anyone who uses it, anyone who benefits from it. And that includes just about everyone using technology today.
New hardware has been announced that addresses the need for openness beyond software. Community help is needed to support a generous, far-sighted open hardware project involving mostly KDE people and certainly following KDE principles. Please consider contributing financially to open hardware for KDE.
More of the story follows...
The threat of proprietary & closed
The Internet is under threat from companies that seek unfair leverage with their massive investments...investments, by the way, that are already well compensated. The nature of these companies is such that every possible means must be used to extract value.
The digital hegemony of several U.S. companies (Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google) plus Samsung dominate technology. All of these companies depend to a great extent on free and open software. Microsoft tries (and fails) to stay in this league with such schemes as using its monopoly position to force conditioned users to adopt Windows 8—a mobile phone GUI blown up to a touch interface on a 19" monitor, positioned by clever marketers as "platform convergence".
What these companies are doing is not wrong; it's the way most things work these days.
KDE's leadership is an opportunity to extend free and open technology, providing creative minds unlimited room to innovate. Mainstream tech companies try to do this without disrupting their profits or stock prices. We are fortunate to have such freedom.
Plasma Active
Nine years ago, KDE started planning for a shared technology base for all types of computers. In September 2011, Plasma Active was released. It shared almost all the underlying code base of the other Plasma Workspaces, along with an innovative user interface specifically designed for tablets and the way they are used. KDE quietly offered platform convergence well before Microsoft or Canonical jumped on the bandwagon.
Plasma Active fits well with KDE's original goal. As Matthias Ettrich wrote in the announcement of KDE:
Plasma Active is free and open software, readily available to install on any tablet. But it has been installed on only a few types of tablets, and requires higher than average technical know-how to install and maintain.
Virtually all tablets on the market have either Google's Android operating system or Apple's iOS. Neither is truly free and open. Apple technology is closed and proprietary...Apple's business model. Android is 23% open according to VisionMobile. Installing a different operating system and user interface means violating warranty terms. In addition, there is no standard version of the Android operating system even with the same version number. These operating systems and user interface designs are controlled by Apple, Google and Samsung (which sells approximately 40% of all Android devices). These companies have no interest in making their hardware run KDE software. In fact, doing so would be contrary to the fundamental purpose of such enterprises.
The environment for Plasma Active is far different (and more restricted) than that for other KDE software. With any commercially available desktop or laptop, it is simple to install and run KDE and other free and open software. While there may be some occasional hassles with wireless or graphics, those are easily overcome. Plasma Active comes standard on the open hardware platform called Improv.
Software can't be free and open if its hardware is closed and proprietary. Improv is as open and free as possible.
The tablet market
In October 2013, Gartner reported that global tablet sales would grow 53.4% for the year, and PC shipments would be down over 11% from the previous year. By 2015, tablets and PCs will sell about the same level.
Users will continue to want the kind of software KDE provides for traditional PCs, for several reasons. (Jos Poortvliet's presentation at Akademy 2013 has some background.) KDE is viable for the foreseeable future...in the desktop and laptop space. But not for tablets, the fastest growing and highly visible personal computing segment.
Several free and open projects have been started to address the need for alternatives to the Android/iOS market dominance in tablets and other devices. Those projects have faced difficulties that point to the daunting nature of challenges to the Google, Samsung and Apple mobile oligopoly. Other projects such as CyanogenMod have chosen the venture capital route to try and compete. The fundraising goals are substantial:
Where do these projects stand?
Jolla began offering a smartphone in Finland at the beginning of December 2013. Their tablet operating system has been exhibited but is not commercially available. A mainstream journalist reports that the Jolla smartphone is a "work in progress" that still has some rough edges, and refers to the 'beta' nature of the handset and software.
Prominent venture capitalists have made substantial investments in CyanogenMod. So at least for the moment CyanogenMod is doing fine. They will have to capture major market share to satisfy venture capital investors...time will tell. This professional investment establishes a substantial value for CyanogenMod as a company and hints at the attractiveness of the device market. A market in which there's a danger of KDE being irrelevant.
Canonical tried to crowdfund a smartphone to round out their converged computing initiative. Against a goal of $32 million, there were commitments of about $12 million. Canonical hinted at backing from major hardware suppliers, but this news was light on detail.
Samsung was expected to launch a Tizen phone at Mobile World Congress in February. Now it appears that Tizen will not challenge Android and iOS this year after all. A Samsung switch to Tizen would be a blow to Android, but it would be good for Samsung's already rich bottom line. And would further entrench the oligopoly.
According to the tech news site Gigaom, both Tizen and Ubuntu Touch have been set back. However with its substantial, prestigious backing, Tizen is almost certain of being successful.
All of these projects are associated to some degree with free and open software; their funding experiences—successful or not—indicate the potential value of the device industry. None of the organizations promise the degree of freedom and openness typical of KDE.
"The KDE Tablet"
Several years ago, KDE developers confronted 2 questions:
The answer was "NONE".
So in early 2012, Aaron Seigo announced the Spark (later renamed "Vivaldi") tablet, which would be produced by the Make Play Live (MPL) project (comprised mostly of people and companies associated with KDE). It would make the necessary hardware available.
Many readers will be familiar with the background. Plucky Aaron and his MPL team have faced significant challenges. One of the most difficult things to overcome has been the nonchalance of hardware suppliers about open source licensing. In addition, suppliers changed components without notice or consultation. In short, it has been an ongoing battle to produce hardware that would run Plasma Active out of the box.
In fact, Aaron and his small hardware development team were forced to engineer hardware from scratch. According to Aaron, there will be an open hardware tablet; it's a question of when it will be available.
In the mean time, the efforts to produce an open hardware tablet revealed a need for general hardware development expertise for free and open projects. The Vivaldi lessons could be applied more broadly to all manner of hardware development.
Out of this realization, the MPL hardware development team created Improv.
Improv has two parts:
Improv hardware drawings are open and readily available, software is covered by free and open source licenses, and interfaces are well-documented. In other words, Improv is open hardware, as open as it can be given that all graphics processing units (GPU) are closed and proprietary.
More information and detailed specifications are available at the MakePlayLive website. Improv comes with the Mer operating system, the lean Core Linux distribution that is a direct descendent of MeeGo. Additional software configurations are available, in fact encouraged.
Improv has been designed, prototyped, tested and retested. It can't be bricked by installing other software or experimenting with configurations; there's no need to root the device. Concepts prototyped on Improv can be turned into complete, custom products using the same hardware.
Improv & Plasma Media Center
Improv is done. It's ready. In typical KDE fashion, Improv was accomplished while others were saying what they were gonna do.
Aaron said this about the Improv:
Improv is a product that can open the doors to the world of ubiquitous, device-centric computing for KDE and other free and open projects. No more waiting for a big vendor to be kind and take our needs into consideration. No more trying to shoehorn KDE software into devices with proprietary lock-in.
Improv & Konqueror
I understand...how do I contribute?
That's the pressing dilemma. With software, it's easy for developers to contribute. A lot of people make their first contribution to free and open software with a single patch. Anyone can download the code and work with it. Start small. There's room for many contributors.
Hardware development is different; it involves physical pieces and is done in chunks. For example, board layout with multiple components and complicated routing is a one-person job.
Aaron and the small team have succeeded at creating the hardware. No further contributions are necessary towards its development. Improv works and works well.
However, there is another big difference between hardware and software—cost. Creating software has no out-of-pocket expense beyond the initial investment in a computer. Distributing one more copy of a KDE application has virtually no associated cost. On the other hand, hardware has a direct cost. Designing a printed circuit board is mostly done in software. But there is a cost to prototype and produce each copy of that physical board.
Aaron and a few others have personally paid these development costs. As can be inferred from the budgets mentioned above, Improv hardware development has not come cheap. There are no venture capitalists handing out money on this project. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It is a many year project, involving considerable personal sacrifice on behalf of KDE and free/open technology. Improv is based on generosity, not greed.
The team had high expectations that Improv pre-production sales would be enough to cover these expenses. They will eventually, but people want to get their hands on Improvs now. Delivery delays harm the project.
Please lend a hand
Funding is needed for the direct costs associated with manufacturing: electronic parts, feature board assembly and CPU cards.
Hundreds of people have already supported the project by buying an Improv.
You can help...
Company engineers might use Improv as a platform for building a custom product. It serves well for prototyping, and can mature gracefully to market readiness. Most importantly, Improv can reduce a hardware development schedule by many months with substantial cost savings.
Please consider donating to the project. Donations will only be used for direct manufacturing costs. Any money contributed beyond the goal of $125,000 will be used to produce Improvs for education.
Improv works. Please help push it from proven-design-ready-for-manufacturing to full production.
Take a stand for digital choice. A stand for what KDE has proven to be successful—free and open wins.

Francis Lewis
|Founding Fathers
|Francis Lewis
|New York
|Christian- Episcopalian [1]
|Founding Documents
|Declaration of Independence
Francis Lewis (March 21, 1713 – December 31, 1802) is a Founding Father of America. He was an enterprising merchant of New York. In his export business, he became a prisoner of France during the French and Indian War. Lewis would sign the Declaration of Independence as a New York delegate to the Continental Congress.
Early life
Francis Lewis was born in Llandaff, Wales. Both his parents died by the time he was five and he would be raised by a loving aunt. She sought to give young Francis the best education, and sent him to the prestigious Westminster School of London. Also, he served as an apprentice at the London Mercantile. At age twenty-one, he sailed to New York City in 1735 and began an export business. Lewis resided in Philadelphia for two-years then returned to New York. Francis married his business partners' sister Elizabeth Annesley, and eventually they had seven children.
In the course of his business transactions, he traveled a considerable part of the continent of Europe. Lewis became a supplier to the British army and was docked at Oswego during the French and Indian War. The French captured Oswego and Lewis was imprisoned.[2] First, he was given over to the Indians. Then he was sent to France. He would be released in a prisoner swap and returned to America.
American Revolution
Lewis retired from business at the age of fifty-two, "one of the most opulent men in New York." [3] In 1774, he became a delegate to New York's provincial convention. He was among the first to join an association called the "Sons of Liberty." Lewis would be elected to the Continental Congress. At first he considered reconciliation with Britain. Then, Lewis sided with his country and independence, he would sign the Declaration.
The Lewis family moved to Whitestone, New York. After the Declaration, the British would destroy his house and possessions. His wife was taken prisoner for over a year before being released.
Elizabeth was traumatized from being a prisoner and died two-years after her release. Little is recorded of subsequent years after the war. His later years were spent in comparative poverty, his fortune having been lost in the war. Lewis died in New York City at the age of eighty-nine.

Look4Logo needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 215 designs submitted by 35 freelance designers.
We are a small business looking to launch in 2009. Our specialty is websites and web marketing for lawyers. Previously we co-founded Elinc, and so we know what it is like to start a small business. We would like to communicate to our target market that we can empathize with the difficulties of starting a business. That is why we are offering an affordable solution to those who are just starting a practice.
We are targeting law firms with 1-10 practitioners. Specifically those who are just venturing out on their own. Also, we are targeting lawyers with an existing business who are still investing their marketing dollars in phone books.
These are websites that we like:
We like the graphic for each service.
We like the clean design of this site. The 1,2,3 is similar to how we want the "How it works" page to be.
We like how they have compartmentalized each service offering. This is similar to the way we want our services to be featured on the home page.
Here is another site that has 3 similar steps to get started.
We like the compartmentalization of services
We like the background color and the gradient.
We like the compartmentalization of the lead on the left, and the compartmentalization of the services with the graphic for each service.
We like how the "how we can help" menu shows up across all pages. This is similar to the way that we want our service menu to appear on all pages (except for the home page). Also, this site has great visual appeal.
See our prototype for the general layout (open to changes).
-We would like for you to use our logo colors. A background of blue gradients might be nice.
-The text should usually be black against a white or cream colored background, to make it easy for users to read.
-We would like a graphic to illustrate each service on the homepage. For example, a graphic about websites to go in the "Websites for lawyer" box.
-The "free 30 day trial" should be a button on the home page on the left side (under the offering).
-Graphic in the top right hand corner of the home page. We would like for it to illustrate the flow from a website to a feedback report and back to the website. We would like to emphasize that as lawyers get feedback about web visitor habits, they can tweak their website to gain even more customers. For more information, read "Internet Marketing Plan" in the prototype.
How it Works:
-A graphic for each step in the process.
-Stylized check marks for each service
Other pages:
-Services submenu to appear in top left corner of all pages except the home page.
Articles page:
-Articles submenu to fall beneath the Services submenu.
-980px wide
-Use logo (ai file in zip)
-PNG of page in 1024X768
-Fully coded not required. However, we would like well designed rollover effects for the menus and the code necessary for those effects.
-Design files

You want the government to dictate to physicians what they are and are not allowed to do in the treatment of their patients?ReplyDelete

So you'd rather have people with political motives making decisions about your health care?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3/07/2009 6:53 PM
And when has the government ever been efficent about anything? We can pay for it like we do now, or pay even more for it by the government. I don't see anyone denied care. I see them at the emergency room and clinics. When I have a patient, I don't even check to see what kind of insurance they have. I don't care. People always complain about medicare/medicaid red tape, uhmmmmm, do we really want more of that crap? I pray government will leave health care alone.

CHICAGO — While the clock is still ticking on Bally Total Fitness, the fitness operator now has more time to report its results without defaulting and accelerating its outstanding debt.
Bally, which is under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, missed its self-imposed July 31 deadline for filing audited financial statements and asked its lenders for a 90-day extension. The subordinated noteholders delayed their consent, forcing Bally to extend the consent due deadline seven times. By holding out, these lenders managed to get higher consent fees — $20 in cash for each $1,000 of principal amount compared to the original consent fee of $2.50 in cash for each $1,000 of principal amount.
If Bally hadn't received consent from the lenders to extend the default deadline, more than $700 million would have become immediately due and payable on Aug. 31. Six days before the deadline, Bally announced the majority of the subordinated noteholders approved an extension to Nov. 30, and by the end of August, more than 97% of the senior noteholders gave their consent and received a one-time fee of $15 for each $1,000 of principal amount.
John Maxwell, senior debt analyst for Merrill Lynch in New York City, said during the negotiation process, the subordinated lenders were holding the bargaining chip. While the majority of the senior noteholders turned in their consent forms in early August, less than half of the holders of the 9 7/8 senior subordinated notes turned in their consent forms on time. The motive for the subordinated noteholders' holdout probably wasn't to push Bally into bankruptcy because bankruptcy wouldn't have been in the noteholders' best interest, Maxwell said. In this situation, the bank lenders would be paid first, followed by the senior and then the subordinated noteholders.
"If Bally can't make the payments, then the assets will be liquidated and the lenders will be paid out according to their priority," he said. "At the end of the day, I don't think the subordinated noteholders will get 100 cents on the dollar."
Maxwell speculated the lenders were trying to force a change in management or get board representation. Bally's board has repeatedly declined the requests of Emanuel Pearlman of Liberation Investments, Bally's largest shareholder, to serve on the board and oust Paul Toback, Bally CEO. But in the past four months, three board members have stepped down, creating possible openings on Bally's board.
The financial reporting deadline wasn't the only issue confronting Bally in August. The fitness chain was also hit with a previously disclosed $14.3 million lawsuit. The Federal District Court in Illinois upheld an arbitration award against Bally relating to a contractual dispute over a program of transferring membership receivables balances into a credit card program. Two weeks later, the company paid the $14.3 million.
