About johnney
I seem to remember the airlines getting bailed out. I don't remember if AA was one of them but regardless this just goes to show that NO corporation, not ONE, not aig, I don't give a flying fuck, if it's peolosi's last request, NOT ONE, should EVER be bailed out PERIOD
I have lived the first 30 or so years of my life without either a cellphone nor a pc with internet access. Believe you me, I have no problem with that. Take that pos tv back too. I could care less. Make a law for something I won't pay for and I'll just fire your ass.
I'd just tell the school to GO FUCK THEMSELVES. end of story
By law, collection agencies can be prohibited from calling both your home AND your job simply by telling them to stop calling. PERIOD
When are you fucks going to wake up and realize that every single law the govt creates is simply a ruse to control freedom; while they themselves are then exempt from ALL of those same laws??????
Solution: The gov can take ALL their laws and shove them up their collective asses.
IDIOT. From your douchebag perspective everything is now considered dangerous to the govt. Maybe turning on the pc should require a mandatory training period else someone may get hurt.
Every traffic camera in the nation should be shot off the pole via high-powered rifles.
The REAL question here is can it be read upside down?
It really only counts for language translations.
Obam bin lyin' again?
POS prick is nothing but a shill con artist back-stabbing maggot.
The olympics have become nothing more than a money grab as have ALL major sports venues.
The 'committee' needs to see who can jump furthest off of the nearest cliff. I'll be first to take the bets. Dollar bets of course. Sporting indeed.
As long as I get to download everything for free, we may have struck a deal.
All laws the govt. 'creates' exist solely to restrict our rights; the same laws which they will be exempt from.
The govt does not and NEVER has made laws. Only the people of this country have that power. FTC go GFY's!
WTF? It doesn't take a discourse on printed 'news', be it paper or magazine, to realize that society as a whole is just plain more digitized and mobile than we were 20 yrs ago.
It's kinda like waking up one day and realizing there is an easier more efficient way to get news about anything and everything. Nothing was stolen and nothing was lost. This is similar to putting on a shirt that's still hanging in your closet. You put it on because it's still there, not because you're going to actually keep wearing it but possibly because you just want to have an excuse for throwing it out.
Besides, "no news is good news" was never truer.
Newspapers should have done what many sites do profitably and offer the content up with ads for free. They could have attempted to adapt with modern society. Instead they sit around with old news complaining about why nobody will pay them for their old news.
I think the "lowering of the fine" does not negate court fees, it simply puts more of the money in the city's pockets.
I agree that these redlight tickets are nothing more than ANOTHER scam on society and imo, ALL disputed tickets should not have to be payed in advance to dispute them.
Just remember, once you physically enter the court building, you are now agreeing with their rules and under their overall authority.
Unfortunately, unless you have 'professional' pics and drawings and are able to concisely explain why you are not at fault, without making a single error in the process, the judge will always side with the cop or camera as it were.
I, for one, am perfectly willing to tell any court in the country what they can do with the driver's license in question. "Please go ahead and shove my license up your collective asses"
I have over 60 gb's of reading material of all types and formats I downloaded for free. My winmo phone will allow me to read most every single title, again for free. With what a hardcover costs, I may never buy one again unless it's at a garage sale. Though there is one book called "In Search of Seatco" that I wish I had the 60+ $ for.
Ipod revolution? that's a laugh. Digital audio came out well before ipod's were even a wet dream. Digital audio handheld devices such as mp3 players cellphones with audio players etc, all came after for marketing reasons.
The only real revolution was people waking up to digital media and losing the albums, tapes, & cassettes they were holding on to. Any more even video discs are almost obsolete.
I totally agree with you but for one simple fact. None of the phone carriers actually make their own phone. The now consistent forced data plan mentality coupled with ALL of the idiot carriers attempts to lock-in outsourced devices is a scam, plain & simple.
As long as people keep buying these pathetic devices with their ripoff contracts the thiefs will continue to peddle them because we are led to think we have no choice in the matter.
Really a shame. In other words people are paying the carriers who want to keep these same people in slavery over a simple phone call using puposefully crippled devices they shovel in your face.
And as far as NEEDING foreigners? FUCK foreigners! Every country no matter how big has just so many resources with which to allow it's population to exist upon. the 'need' went away long long ago.
I TOTALLY disagree with your statement that fewer foreigners is bad for our economy.
Foreigners come here for one reason: MONEY
That's fair. Except there is no money and it has steadily decreased, regardless of the quantity of foreigners, at a depression level rate.
The most obvious is that there is no 'economy' but that which the US govt is trying to manipulate & either sell or steal from the rightful, nonforeign, citizen by the simple means of walmarting us to death and then playing the protector or fixer, if you will.
The very fact that millions of illegal immigrants are staying in this country at the US taxpayer's expense while they steal EVERY job and are allowed to buy illegal ssn cards, jam up our jails only to be rerelaesed back into our own country is proof positive that the govt is and has for quite some time been just about the govt & not about the people at all.
Hi-tech corporations advertize so that real americans will either be diqualified and or not want to apply while these same jobs are them handed to a lesser payed foreigner.
Bottom line: as long as our resources are given away, stolen, and sold to anybody and everybody without prejudice, this only truly benefits the very same govt which allows it to happen.
I don't recall a single bailout dollar going to ANYONE but only to corporations and to keep the thieves in office in office. So from a logical and practical standpoint the entities with large pockets get bailed out while the 'people' who just payed off these self-same 'entities' are the ones who are actually hurting. Meanwhile, the bailed-out entities go on vacation and hand out MASSIVE bonuses to their employees.
I'm sure you would like to think of the govt as being a responsible, in your interest entity but, sadly, I think you are highly mistaken.
Another fun thing to do is bribing children with candy.
Only problem is, it only works good at halloween. Kind of a good description of Hollywood's own movie plot. Boring with too many sequels.

Rap legend Snoop Dogg has heaped praise on his unlikely collaborator Miley Cyrus and urged music fans to appreciate the young star's talents.
Snoop, who has relaunched himself as a reggae star under the moniker Snoop Lion, has teamed up with the former "Hannah Montana" star.
The hip-hop icon was impressed with 20-year-old Cyrus during the recording of their track "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks" for his upcoming album, "Reincarnated," and he is adamant she will silence her critics with her upcoming material.
He tells MTV.Com, "She loves what I do and I really love what she does, so for us to come together, it's bold and courageous.
"People just expect so much from her because they've been watching her her whole life, from being a kid. She's just ready to be a grown up and express herself, and I support it.
"We're both going through transformation, we both love making music and doing what we do and speaking from our hearts, and it's just a great collaboration."

MIAMI - Police say they have arrested and charged a man with murder in connection to a woman who went missing on Sept. 4, 2012.
Miami-Dade police said they have charged 54-year-old Jesus Maqueira with first-degree murder and Aggravated Stalking.
According to detectives, Raquel Maria Calderin, 42, had filed for divorce to end her marriage of over 20 years with Maqueira. On Sept. 4, Maqueira went to Calderin's workplace where a verbal argument ensued, and then left afterwards, said detectives.
Calderin left work at 9:30 pm that night, which was the last time she was seen or heard from anyone, according to police.
RELATED: Miami-Dade police searches for missing woman
Through an investigation, detectives said they determined foul play and the Homicide Bureau assumed the investigation.
On Friday, homicide detectives said they interviewed Maqueira. After numerous statements made during the interview, detectives said Maqueira was arrested and charges were filed.
As of Saturday, Calderin's body has not been found, and detectives said she is presumed dead.

21st June 2018
A week ago, the Kenyan media was awash with news that a consignment of imported sugar had been nabbed contaminated with various components like copper, mercury, yeast and molds that are dangerously harmful if consumed.
According to wide media reports, accusing fingers have been pointed to one sugar processing company called West Kenya Sugar which packages the Kabras brand of the sweetener.
Since then, the company has received all manner of negative publicity with most noise, of course, coming from the social media.
The backslash has reached many households and most parents, at least judging from their social media posts, have vowed to stop the consumption of the commodity on fears of the serious repercussion that it portends.
All this time, West Kenya Sugar company has said nothing on the issue only coming out on Wednesday this week with a full-page statement in all the newspapers denying all the allegations and distancing themselves from the said imported consignment.
Communication experts believe this is too late. The damage seems to have been done if what is happening in my house, where a decision has been taken to boycott Kabras Sugar, can be taken as a case study. The sugar company has a serious communication crisis to deal with. How can they now convince the public that Kabras sugar on supermarket shelves meets all the requisite quality standards?
Various discussions on the issue on PR platforms points to the fact that the company did not have a PR or crisis management firm and had indeed been forced to hire one as an emergency. While I am not 100% sure about this, what is abundantly clear is that the company underestimated the crisis and its potential impact.
As communication professionals, there are valuable lessons that we can gather from this incident. To me, the main one is the speed at which we respond to a crisis. This is however dependent on the nature of the crisis, given that not all situations are to be responded to. But where a product on supermarket shelves is concerned, I think the response should be as fast as possible to remove any grain of doubt. Why for instance did the company take so long to distance itself from the seized consignment?
What other lessons can we learn from this incident? Drop me a message @peterkiragu or at @GraylingKe with your thoughts.

Polyscias fruticosa 'Ming' 14"
Ming Aralia
The Ming Aralia is a full but feathery variety of Aralia.
Aralias do not need a high light environment. Tropical Foliage Plants by Lynn Griffith lists the lower threshold at 75 foot-candles which is in the same range as Janet Craig, Kentia, Mass Cane and less than required for Aglaonema and Marginata. At Farm Life these plants are grown in a 75% shade environment and become very full. An environment that is "too dark", for an Aralia, means that the amount of leaves the plant can maintain, at that light level, is below the aesthetic thresh-hold for the job. These plants will maintain as many leaves as they can at a given light level.
Of the four varieties that we grow at Farm Life, the Fabian requires the least amount of water and the Ming requires the most. This is probably due to the total leaf surface area of the Ming being much greater than the Fabian. The Balfourianas fall in the middle. Compared to other plants the Aralias are not exceptional in their water needs. Farm Life has had great success extending the watering frequency of interior Ming Aralias to two weeks with a sub-irrigating container.
A water soluble general purpose foliage plant fertilizer will work well on Aralias. These fertilizers will have an NPK ratio of 3:1:2 or 2:1:2 with minor nutrients included. A proper fertilizer schedule and dose must be determined for each location. Aralias are not heavy feeders, so start low and increase if necessary. The results of fertilizer trials may take months to notice, so don't rush a judgment. A good nutrient maintenance program would include adding 2-3 tablespoons of dolomite to the top of the soil annually and a minor nutrient drench twice per year. Farm Life Aralias are grown on a drip fertigation system which allows them to transition to a new fertilizer program immediately upon installation.
Insects and Mites
Aralias can have problems with mites, mealybugs, aphids and probably scale and thrips. At Farm Life only the first three have been observed on Aralias, but there is no reason why scale and thrips could not become a problem tomorrow. Mealybugs, scale and aphids can be controlled with a systemic insecticide like Safari or Merit used as either a spray or drench. Mites need to be controlled with predator mites. Both popular species, Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis, will work well. One advantage of predator mites is the reduction in pesticide use, but more importantly predators can be more effective than miticides. Miticides are not systemic and therefore must contact each mite to kill it. Multiple well timed applications are required to clean up any newly hatched mites that were not killed the first time. This is not only difficult in an interior-scape, but also in a nursery. If this is not done to perfection, the remaining spider mites will quickly repopulate the plant and continue their attack. Predators will completely remove all mites from a plant and eat all the eggs, then continue searching for other areas with spider mites. If plants are scouted each time they are watered then a spider mite population can be discovered early enough to apply predators. Farm Life has reduced miticide use to nearly zero due to a dedicated predator mite program. At Farm Life predator mites are released somewhere in the nursery every week of the year with results far superior to spraying miticides.

New Orleans Saints Tickets
New Orleans Saints Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
In what was an entirely atrocious division, the Saints had every chance to make the playoffs with even a .500 record. But a 31st-ranked defense, 25th against the pass and 29th against the run, ensured there would be no postseason here. Drew Brees actually fell short of 5,000 passing yards on the season, as if that's a disappointment. But he had a typically great season. The surprising trades of Kenny Stills and Jimmy Graham should mean the continued emergence of Brandin Cooks (550 rec yards), who showed flashes in his rookie year. But what it really means is the Saints are committing to a more balanced offense. Mark Ingram (964 rush yards) brought a stronger run attack than the Saints were used to, and the CJ Spiller signing brings unheard of depth at RB. Depth at WR is thin--it's Cooks, Marques Colston, Josh Morgan, then who knows--but Brees has never needed big name receivers to air it out. NOLA committed to protecting him by drafting OT Andrus Peat (Stanford) with the #13 pick. LB Dannell Ellerbe came over in the Stills trade, CB Brandon Browner, LB Anthony Spencer, and CB Kyle Wilson are the new additions to in an aggressive defensive offseason. MLB Curtis Lofton is a big loss, but perhaps the personnel changes will improve the unit overall. The New Orleans Saints operate under head coach Sean Payton at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. 2014 was the team's first losing season under Payton since 2007, which does not include a 2012 season where Payton was suspended for his role in Bountygate. If you don't include that season, 2014 was also their first non-playoff, less than 11-win season since 2008. The team normally enjoys one of the best home field advantages in the league, but that broke down last season as they went just 3-5 in the dome, losing their last five. Still, the Peyton-Brees era has been easily the most successful in franchise history. They have brought perennial contenders to a city that had a punching bag of an NFL team for most of its existence. The Saints won their only Super Bowl appearance in 2009 against Peyton Manning and the Colts but also have five division titles (three under Peyton-Brees) and 10 playoff appearances (five). A new balanced Saints team could be great. 2015 home games include Tampa Bay, Dallas in prime time, Atlanta on Thursday night, NY Giants, Tennessee, Carolina, Detroit on Monday night, and Jacksonville.

Yes, it's another Don McLeroy post. This Washington Monthly piece is currently making the rounds. If you haven't seen it, you aren't aware of just how bad things are in Texas.
Seriously, this will make you ill. Is there no depth to the ideological delusions cretins like this want to enshrine in our schools? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical.
In honor of McLeroy, and inspired by one of PZ's headlines today, I thought I'd create a little article of anticreowear, for all your scientifically sartorial needs. I plan to wear mine proudly. Those of you obsessed with the whole "civility" thing will clutch your pearls and admonish me sternly about it, I'm sure. Go ahead and take your concern as noted in advance. Read the attached article — shit, just read the first two paragraphs — and you'll understand, I hope, why I'm beyond any pretense of civility with the likes of McLeroy.

Just in time for Spotify's fifth anniversary, Radiohead and Atoms for Peace frontman Thom Yorke delivered a birthday message to the streaming service.
The Brit rocker called Spotify and services of similar ilk "the last desperate fart of a dying corpse," referring to what he said is an imminent collapse of the music industry. In an interview with Mexican website Sopitas, Yorke lashed out at major labels' partnerships with services like Spotify, which he said siphons money from artists, according to Business Insider.
In July Yorke pulled his solo work and Atoms for Peace songs from Spotify and other streaming services, taking to Twitter with producer Nigel Godrich to air their grievances.
(MORE: Radiohead's Thom Yorke Leaves Spotify. Will Others Follow?)
Anyway. Here's one. We're off of spotify.. Can't do that no more man..
Small meaningless rebellion.—
nigel godrich (@nigelgod) July 14, 2013
The numbers don't even add up for spotify yet.. But it's not about that.. It's about establishing the model which will be extremely valuable—
nigel godrich (@nigelgod) July 14, 2013
Make no mistake new artists you discover on #Spotify will no get paid. meanwhile shareholders will shortly being rolling in it. Simples.—
Thom Yorke (@thomyorke) July 14, 2013
Spotify has been both criticized and praised for its role in a fledgling industry. But the company defends charging royalty rates by noting it pays out almost 70 percent of its revenue to music rights holders, which includes a total of $500 million since its launch.
Critics of Yorke's fight against streaming services point to Radiohead's decision to self-release and let fans determine how much they would pay for the 2007 album In Rainbows. The rocker responded and called the move a way for fans to be closer with the artist, noting that streaming services intervene as a gatekeeper. The singer and guitarist are calling on the music industry to push for a better business model that will benefit everyone, especially artists.
for me In Rainbows was a statement of trust .people still value new music ..that's all we'd like from Spotify. don't make us the target.—
Thom Yorke (@thomyorke) July 15, 2013
But Yorke is not the only artist to decry the online streaming model. Alt-country start Jason Isbell, indie rock band Grizzly Bear, The Black Keys' Patrick Carney and Four Tet's Kieran Hebden have also spoken out about the popular service. Even old catalogs from big-billed names like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin have protected their music from streaming.
Nobody ask Yorke about his feelings on torrenting.

So here's the thing. My boyfriend is very dominant in the bedroom. I love this about him. He knows exactly what to do, what feels good to me, always takes control and is very manly. He has great intuition in the bedroom, always switching it up, making sure we are both having a good time and achieving the best climaxes possible. He's down for sex games, pretty much anything kinky he will do. I really do like this as well and I want to get more involved with it. The only thing is that he wants me to be more dominant, to tell him what to do. I really want to, I just don't have the bedroom confidence, nor do I really know what to ask for. The problem is everything he does FEELS GREAT! Like he doesn't need room for improvement at all but he wants me to give him orders. I really want to return the favor but I don't really know what to say to him because he does everything correctly. Please help!
First off, kudos to your boyfriend for being the kind of partner who feels good about communicating with you and exploring your desires. And for being a magical sex unicorn, apparently. It's curious to me that you like every single thing your boyfriend does in bed, but you can't articulate any of it verbally. This is going to sound very after-school special, but you need to have a sex talk—with yourself. If you can't express what you want to yourself, then you'll never be able to do so with a partner either. So start now. Get out a piece of paper and write down 10 specific things you like, either when you're masturbating (and I really hope you are masturbating because that's one of the easiest ways to figure out what feels good), or when you're having sex with your boyfriend. Some examples: "I like to have my arms pinned down," or "I love fingernails raked down my back," or "I want to be called Shockra, Mistress of the Dark." You don't have to share this with anyone; sometimes simply writing down our desires makes them feel less vague or intimidating.
Once you've got a short list of things that make you hot, then you're in a better position of putting those things into practice. Dominance in bed involves some technical skill—you can't just grab a bullwhip and start swinging, for instance—but really, it's mostly about confidence. There have been recent studies (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/01/25/jane-mcgonigals-reality-is-broken-how-videogames-change-the-world.html) that showed when people took on the role of a powerful or attractive avatar in a video game for 90 seconds, their confidence levels were boosted for the entire day, and they were more likely to flirt with other people they were hot for. The takeaway is not that we should all be playing more video games, but that doing things that make us feel confident have a lasting effect on our confidence in general. If you're having trouble communicating what you want in bed, do something beforehand that makes you feel competent and rawr, whether that's dancing to TLC, completing a really hard Sudoku, making a soufflé, etc.
One trick that's worked for me is to make small, authoritative requests in nonsexual situations. Buy me a drink. Carry my purse. Farmboy, fetch me that pitcher. These kinds of playful commands can serve as foreplay as well, depending on the mood you're in and how far you want to take it.
A friend and professional dominant in Chicago had these tips to add: "Dominance is posture, attitude, and language. Put on something that makes you feel powerful and sexy. Speak with command. You don't need to yell or call your boyfriend names, but speak with authority. Say what you want and expect it to be done. Own yourself and your desires. Hold yourself with confidence. Don't slouch.
Start small and basic. Commanding your partner to go down on you and how will get you comfortable with being in charge without venturing off into things you may not yet want to try. Try repeating some of your favorite sexual encounters, but with yourself in command. That way, you have a 'script' to work from, but the novelty of role reversal makes it exciting. I'm biased, but getting a professional involved might be exciting. I love to top a man while his girlfriend helps me."
Ultimately, the best way to learn anything is to just f**king do it. You can start slow. No one's going to expect you to suddenly snarl, "Sit on my face, bitch!" But the more you practice a "pull my hair" here and a "tease me" there, the easier it gets. And don't forget to ask your boyfriend for patience and encouragement. Like training for an Iron Man or getting knocked up on purpose, it's always better when you have someone else rooting for you to succeed.

Olympus Announces Collaboration with Visiopharm for Cloud Image Analysis, Stereology and Easy-to-Use Microscopy APPs
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., June 24, 2013 – Olympus has announced a collaboration that allows users of its leading VS120 Virtual Slide System to access powerful quantitative microscopy software and workflow enhancements from Visiopharm (Hørsholm, Denmark) in the Cloud. Registered users who log on to the new Cloud software-as-a-service (SaaS) system receive immediate access to the latest version of Visiopharm's entire suite of image analysis and stereology software through a centralized remote server-based account. Visiopharm Cloud software will support a wide variety of research applications in fields as varied as oncology research, respiratory research, neuroscience and skeletal research.

The Olympus-Visiopharm collaboration also includes access to Visiopharm's APPCenter. The APPCenter has an extensive and growing library of Analysis Protocol Packages (APPs) which provide easy-to-use, standardized protocols for dozens of the most important and popular research microscopy image capture and analysis tasks. APPs can be "test-driven" in advance before the user makes a commitment, and each APP also can be modified quickly in collaboration with Visiopharm to meet individual research needs. Data from use of the APPs can be stored locally or on the Cloud.
"Olympus and Visiopharm have a long-standing and robust collaboration," said Pia Rinta-Panttila, product manager at Olympus. "The unmatched user-friendliness and image quality of the Olympus VS120 system is perfectly matched with both Cloud and locally deployed image analysis and stereology tools from Visiopharm. Taken together, they open new doors for researchers using whole slide imaging, making it more flexible, cost-effective and simple."
The modular VS120 system creates virtual slides - high-resolution digital images of complete specimens that can be stored electronically either on the Cloud or a central server for simultaneous viewing anywhere in the world, at a range of magnifications. The system is designed to provide outstanding performance for brightfield, darkfield and fluorescence microscopy, combined with precise color rendition and scanning. The VS120 allows automated scanning at 2x, 10x, 20x and 40x magnifications and Virtual Slides can be shared easily with fellow researchers over the Internet.

Judo has been part of the Paralympic Games since the 1988 Games in Seoul and has quickly grown in the number of competitors. In Athens in 2004, 120 athletes competed in 13 weight classes (84 men in seven classes, 36 women in six), compared to the 1992 Paralympic Games in Barcelona, where there were only 53 judo competitors.
Athletes who are blind or have vision impairments compete under the rules of the International Judo Association at the Paralympic Games, with the exception of a mat that has different textures to mark zones and the competition area. Competitors must attack, defend, and maintain balance during a match in order to score points by using certain attack and counterattack techniques.
Paralympic judo competition is open to male and female athletes who are blind/visually impaired.

While Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray remains a free man after raids of his home and offices in two states, this is not the first time he's caught the attention of law enforcement.
ABC News has learned that Murray was arrested on domestic violence charges in 1994 after an incident with his then-girlfriend. The doctor was tried and acquitted.
Whether he'll remain free of charges related to the June 25 death of Michael Jackson remains to be seen. Court papers have shown that the raid Tuesday on Murray's Las Vegas home and office and last week's raid at his Houston office collected evidence to be used in an investigation of possible manslaughter charges, according to the police search warrants.
Tuesday's raid netted envelopes, yellow cases, cell phones and a computer hard drive.
On Wednesday Murray's lawyer Ed Chernoff confirmed that authorities were looking for documents and drug information with the names of Jackson's many aliases, they believed he used to when getting prescriptions.
"The warrant authorized detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration to seize prescriptions, files, billing information, tests results, electronic records and other material kept under pseudonyms, including Omar Arnold, Paul Farance, Bryan Singleton, Jimmy Nicholas, Blanca Nicholas, Roselyn Muhammad, Faheem Muhammad, Frank Tyson, Fernand Diaz, Peter Madonie, Josephine Baker and Kai Chase. Also listed was the name of Jackson's son Prince," Chernoff said in a statement.
Several of aliases were known assocaites of Jackson including Frank Tyson, a friend and personal assistant, and Kai Chase, the singer's personal chef who was at Jackson's home the day he died.
The foucsed attention on Murray, experts said, does not bode well for the cardiologist.
"This seems like death by a thousand cuts," ABC News legal analyst Dana Cole told "Good Morning America." "They're just not going to let up on this guy. We'll have to see what it ultimately reveals."
The LAPD confirmed that toxicology reports from Jackson's autopsy will be delayed another week, but preliminary results show the powerful anesthetic propofol was a contributing factor in the pop icon's death. And it was Murray who reportedly administered the drug to Jackson the day he died.
Jackson's personal chef has also spoken out recently, Telling the Associated Press that Murray seemed off his normal routine the day Jackson died. While he usually came to get Jackson's breakfast in the morning, which included granola, the chef reported that Murray only came downstairs a little after noon, yelling for the singer's eldest son, Prince Michael I, 12.
Jackson Doc Reportedly Facing Foreclosure
Murray has also been flamed in the media and by other doctors not only for waiting 30 minutes to call 911 after he found Jackson unresponsive but for performing CPR on a bed, when standard protocol calls for the lifesaving measure to be performed on the floor or another hard surface.
Murray, through his lawyers, has repeatedly proclaimed his innocence, saying he never gave Jackson anything that should have caused his death.
"At the end of the day, it was really just Dr. Murray and his patient Michael Jackson in the room, and his patient was found dead," Cole said.
Jackson had many doctors, and ABC News has learned that as many as five may be under investigation. But so far, it seems Murray is the of the Los Angeles Police Department and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents who are leading the probe.
And the investigation may not be his only problem.
ABC News has learned that the Murray is facing foreclosure. Documents obtained by ABC News' Primetime show that the doctor owes more than $15,000 in back payments from January for his Las Vegas home.
Jackson's Mother Wants Contract Access
While investigators continue to build their case, Jackson's mother appears to be gearing up for a fight of her own.
Katherine Jackson Tuesday served the administrators of her son's estate with subpoenas seeking access to Jackson's contracts, including the "This Is It" tour agreement with AEG.
Administrators John Branca and John McLain said that it was Jackson himself who requested they control his estate, and that while they offered to share the contracts with his mother if she agreed to a confidentiality agreement, she has refused to those terms.
A hearing on control of Jackson's estate will be held next week.
The Day Michael Jackson Died
Jackson's parents and siblings question Murray's role in Jackson's final hours, according to the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a longtime friend of the family. Rev. Jackson previously told ABC News that the family is suspicious.
The fact that the doctor had left the scene, was not available to sign the death certificate or answer the family's questions about their son's final moments did not sit right at all with the Jacksons, according to Rev. Jackson.
"When did the doctor come? What did he do? Did he inject him? If so, with what?" said Rev. Jackson. "Was he on the scene twice? Before and then reaction to? Did he use the Demerol? It's a very powerful drug. Was he injected once? Was he injected twice?"
Murray's lawyer Ed Chernoff, defending his client, has said that once Murray realized that CPR was not bringing Jackson back, Murray, he said, tried to dial 911 on his cell phone but did not have the exact address of Jackson's home. And with none of the phones in the home working "for privacy reasons," Murray ran around the house till he found Jackson's chef, who alerted security.
It was the security person, Chernoff said, who eventually dialed 911. CPR, he said, was done for 25 to 30 minutes before emergency officials arrived.
After Jackson's death, police officers towed a silver BMW from outside Jackson's Los Angeles home, which police confirmed belonged to Jackson's "personal physician" and which they believed contains evidence crucial to the investigation.
Law enforcement sources, however, confirmed to ABC News, that the car towed from Jackson's home is registered to one Susan Mary Rush. Rush is the sister of Dr. Conrad Robert Murray.
"The car was impounded," said Amanda Betat, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department. "One reason it was impounded was because it may contain medication or evidence that could assist the coroner in determining the cause of death."
Megan Chuchmach contributed to this report.

The temperatures have been in the 50′s and 60′s in New York the last couple of weeks which seems to be a perfect temperature to do a sockless shoe look. I love the way that Robert ,from L'Uomo Vogue, has done it here.

At The Shows……Sockless, Calvin Klein Show

I like this sockless man. I am not much for men in little shorts and cutesy sandals OFF the beach or trail, that is a turn off, but this sockless man is a turn on– he is elegant.
also men on sailboats in skinny jeans & sockless in real shoes look stylish.
Silly question maybe, but doesn't going sockless lead to smelly shoes and smelly feet pretty quickly?
I know it's odd to bring up, but I wonder what they're talking about?
And with the way the weather is now, I picture Robert saying, "God! Aren't you hot in that get up?"
I lived in Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and Sanibel Island (all in Florida) for some years of my life. Love that warm weather.
Sockless with Johnson's baby powder, pure cornstarch, sprinkled lightly into the shoe before wearing, or dusted on the foot, is the way that worked best for me…keeps things dry and comfy.
But in NYC, I never go sockless…it seems too affected for my taste here…and not very urban. Guess I'll reserve sockless for the more tropical climes…but that's just me.
Is he really not wearing socks? Or is he wearing those tiny socks that fool you into thinking he's going sockless? That's what I do with sneakers in the summer–there's nothing I hate more than seeing a sock peeking out of a sneaker.
I know the other guy's pants are light grey, but the white socks still make me wince a bit.
I tried going sockless once and lasted about 10 minutes! It was sticky and just plain uncomfortable.
There are socks called peds that one can wear and still look sockless.
I don't recommend going sockless unless your feet never sweat.
that's quite a timeless look to pair turned up dark jeans with traditional brown brogues and a white shirt… has a 40s/50s nod.
helps if each item is gracefully distressed, otherwise could look bland.
Hi, I´m from Spain and love your blog! sockless seems to be cool and lazy, i like it!
Isaac Mizrahi seems to always be sockless; it's amusing.
Well, one wants to disassociate oneself–or this one does–from WASP-y socklessness, which seems always to involve slip-ons of the Weejuns sort.
The key here, I think, is the short-ish (though cuffed) trouser length, and the shoes, which are lace-up.
Weather permitting, I think socklessness on men can be great, as in the photo.
(Now is it time to discuss venturing forth sans underwear?)
Eww. Hate the sockless look. It looks so affected. Moreover, it is incredibly unhygenic.
I LOVE when this thread gets going . . . . I remember one from last summer with VERY heated and with firmly cemented beliefs on one side or the other . . . .
for those of you who prefer not to go sockless, please wear socks to your heart's content . . . .
for those of us who DO like the casual, informal attitude that wearing shoes "commando-style" offers . . . please don't infer that we're "filthy" or "smelly" or "uncivilised" in any way . . . lol . . . . we just have adopted a more casual way of wearing our footwear. . . . . and I DO own dozens of pairs of wonderful socks that I DO wear on formal occasions . . .
NOW, let's see if we can get some strong opinions going about wear jeans WITHOUT undergarments . . . . . THERE! that otta get something started . . . .
SMW if SF
Ok, so, is that white socks with black shoes that I'm looking at here? Sorry, but I can't seem to tear my eyes away to look at the no-socks man.
If the shoes were any more dressy they would look wrong. I think he looks stylish and elegant.
I noticed this sockless trend just yesterday on a flock of St. Louis catholic schoolgirls. The plaid skirts and button-down oxfords I was familiar with, but the penny loafers and top-siders I wore have been replaced with worn and dirty nike running shoes – and no socks. Makes me wonder what the nuns are wearing these days…
That's a good look. To the poster who wondered what they were discussing, it wasn't just you. I wondered the same thing. LOL
I thought Don Johnson was so unbelievably hot on Miami Vice with his naked ankles!
Bring back the big pastel suits, naked ankles, and slip ons!
Yum city. :P
Sart, I have a question that's totally unrelated to this photo…is it really THAT "warm" in NY now? I will be in NY from the 18th to the 29th of this month. It'll be my first time to visit NY. I still don't know what clothes to pack, but your site has been very helpful. I've been visiting your blog for more than a year now…just to see what New Yorkers are wearing. I hope that my winter coats will serve its purpose when I get there. Lovely pictures by the way. Keep up the good work!

he should wear socks…
He probably wearing ped-socks. That's my secret when I want a 'sockless look.'
Sockless can be sexy on both guys and girls, but I dig cute, unusual or just nice socks and hose.
These temps have made me want to go sockless. Then I just stop and think "Why dont I just wear sandals?"
i think it's funny how people are so against the sockless look…for me personally, i usually only go sockless with topsiders (i have two pairs, one white leather and another brown leather with a tannish mesh and when it's between 40-75 degrees they're pretty much the only thing i wear). it's also necessary to be very careful about the length of the pants: a little high looks good, especially when you messily roll chinos or denim, but if you go beyond thom browne highness it can look a little funny. the key is to really only do it with shoes that are decently breathable and not too dressy. trying to attempt it with nice wingtips is too uncomfortable and looks odd, in my opinion. nothing against thom browne wearing dress shoes without socks, but socks are another accessory to add a little color or design to your outfit– why not use them?
I love this sockless look, its not unhygenic at all unless your feet stinks, me I wear this gorgeous prada oxfords a lot sockless, and always tell my husband to wear sometimes sockless shoes, they look so chic, I think it is very european.. I just love it! you see it more and more in all the magazines..
in spirit of the air tie, is this the 'air sock'?
I think the ideal is to do this with a pair of distressed brown wing tips (kinda like what John Varvatous has been doing in past seasons) with a pair of dark Helmut Lang straight leg jeans, a crisp white shirt and a navy blazer. Throw on a vintage Hamilton and well, it just makes me smile to even think about that get-up. Thanks again Sart for adding a smile to an otherwise blah day. (Note:I know I spelled Varvatous name wrong…I just spent 20 minutes looking thru the Jan. 1 issue of DNR to find his name and wouldn't you know it…it is the ONE issue in which he isn't mentioned!Forgive me fashion fans!)
I'm generaly pro-sock (or more accurately, anti-no-sock, if you catch my drift.) But I guess I'm coming around a bit … heck, I even used to wear socks with sandals.
Beyond issues of sweat and smell which may or may not be wafting your way, I find socks comfortable in a practical sort of way (especially if a fair bit of walking about is involved) which makes me think this is an effort at casual discomfort. I am reminded of "those kids" in highschool who were "too cool" to properly bundle up on cold winter days, shivering away insisting they're not cold …
Sorry, leather shoes without socks is never attractive. At least not to me. Gross actually.
I say, just think of the stink!
I think Robert pulls it off fabulously, but I'd say that the majority (oh, by far at least 90%) of men can NOT go sockless. Unless they're wearing Topsiders. Then it looks fine.
Oh, I suppose it's the air and surroudings of a situation, I know. But somehow, in NYC…it's a bit odd.
I know this week has been pretty nice with the weather. Just not for walking around sockless. Funny enough I have to say I do like what I see. However, baby powder does do the trick :-)
Love the shockless look…I always do! And have everybody getting at me becuse of the cold! :(
I go "sockless" with a pair of distressed black oxfords and jeans. What I actually do is take a pair of black tennis socks (those ones that just barely stick out of sneakers) and cut about an inch off the front. The back naturally stays beneath the shoe. I can't stand the heat you get with bunched up socks and jeans.
How interesting! If I had to pick between the two, I'd go for "sockless man" as the black shoe/white gym socks combo is, umm, not working.
Gym socks are for the gym or for knee high boots with killer heels. Period.

Send me a head-shot and maybe we can discuss it next time I'm up there. ;-)
As I was flying in to NY last Saturday yahoo weather said it was 70 degrees in Manhattan. (But of course that's no guarantee for the weather in two weeks' time, anonymous.)
I agree there IS a time and a place for the sockless look, but it seems to me NY in January is neither the place nor the time…
By the way I have a bone to pick with L'Uomo Vogue, they published an awful interview, riddled with mistakes, with Rufus Wainwright in the December issue. The shots are great, though…
Also I've been trying to find a color picture of the printed Carlo Pignatelli – Outside – blazer he's wearing on the last spread of the article.
When I go sockless, I put ONE drop of tea tree oil on the sole of each foot before I slip into my shoes. Tea tree oil has natural antiseptic properties so there is no foot odor.
I tend to go sockless in the summer months when wearing Todd loafers and linen slacks (sometimes rolled up to show a little ankle). I've never had any of the ladies complain to me about foot odor. Airing the shoes out and maybe sticking in a wooden shoe tree should absorb any moisture and the leather smell should return to the shoes.
I'd think that with brogues or oxford lace-up shoes, the leather would chafe my ankles too much to wear without socks.
Both these guys look good. Although I'm not sure about the white/cream socks!!
Lets go sans everything: socks, underwear, ties!! Sockless is awesome, seriously, and there's nothing gross about it. But you have to be careful to wear the right shoes.
Most of you would've noticed that the trend, like at D&G Summer 2006/07 (was it?), is to wear a shorts suit with very smart, pointy shoes, obviously without socks. I think it looks amazing!
Sockless is very unappealing, and now I'll also be thinking about those little fawn sockettes. Much better to wear what I think are called Flip Flops in the U.S.You can get them in black or navy.
I also tried the "Sockless" but didn't work out for me.
sockless looks really sexy, but i find it more comfortable in my chucks than in oxfords…i've even tried not-socks and still a bit uncomfortable
i love going sockless. It has always bothered me why women's shoes are sometime intended to be worn sockless yet men don't have that option. in cities with hot summers it's funny how women can have their arms and legs showing yet mens fashion requires you to be covered from the neck down.
I'd propose this summer sockless dress: Shorts, slightly tan legs and those low-cut moccasins (leave bare uncovered most of the back of feet but the toes), apparently similar to lady shoes, they actually a very regular man hot outfit. What fo you think about it. I'd love it.
I like going sockless, mostly because I don't like doing laundry. I use insoles and rotate my shoes so they have at least one day to air. I also shower every day and moisterize my feet with vaseline. I haven't had a problem with oder.
Sockless is the way I like to roll in the warmer weather. I see no need for socks. Hey if you like wearing socks, that is fine too, but don't criticize me for not wanting to wear them. My feet don't sweat much and don't smell so I don't need to wear socks. It is way more comfortable to go sockless for me.
I've also gone sockless. I like the look. And my girlfriend likes the look also. We both don't wear socks. The key is to wear good leather shoes that keep odors down. And always keep your feet clean. Everyones feet sweat, some not as much. I have to rotate my shoes at least every other day so they can have a chance to dry out.

I've heard that they're doing as well as the UWA graduates.... which is to say that they're coping
As for opportunities, my understanding is that Last year, all WA graduates were offered either their first or second preference, and it was done purely on interview.... i.e. university marks were not used for ranking offers.

The assignment is simple. The mission is important. The trend line, however, is not so good.
Texas has a lousy record for getting students to attend college. Only 56 percent of Texas high school graduates enrolled in a community college or university in 2010. The national average is 70 percent.
To increase college awareness, Texans are encouraged to wear their favorite college t-shirt on May 4 as part of a Generation Texas project aiming to create a college-going culture.
"GenTX Day (Friday, May 4) is an idea that is elegantly simple, and invites everyone to participate by simply wearing their favorite college t-shirt. Now if everyone across the state did that, just imagine how dramatic the impact of that would be just in terms of a show of support for our Texas students," Texas Higher Education Commissioner Raymund Paredes said. "But, more importantly, imagine the opportunities for conversation that it creates. It might just be the one conversation that changes someone's life."
Texas celebrated its first GenTX Day last year with NFL quarterback Vince Young as its spokesperson, with support from Gov. Rick Perry, local mayors and other community leaders. Official business sponsor H-E-B led the way with its 76,000 employees wearing college t-shirts in recognition of GenTX Day. This video features some of the highlights from the inaugural GenTX Day.
Some Texas students have credited GenTX for steering them toward college.
Chasity Williams, 18, is a senior at Houston's Jack Yates High School who wasn't sure last year if she wanted to apply to college.
"But I am a people person and very hands-on. I worked with my advisor and she pushed and motivated me – and now I am in the top ten percent of my class," Williams said. "She helped me with everything from learning about Apply Texas to the college board, and introduced me to the Generation TX website. Gen TX was really helpful with all of my college planning and showed me all the options. Now I know that college is the way to go. I plan to go to the University of Houston or to Texas A&M and want to become physical therapist. I am very happy and eager to go to college."
Kassandra Gutierrez, 18, is a senior at Jefferson High School in San Antonio who will be the first in her family to attend college.
"Generation TX has been an asset for me in getting to college and how and where to apply. It has given me the resources that I need to get there," she said. "I plan to study mass communications at Texas State University and hope to become a public relations specialist. I am so excited and ready. Here at school we have a Generation TX leadership team and help the underclassmen also get where they need to be. We are helping other kids, doing community service projects, and having weekly meetings. Community service, leadership and college awareness are the three things we focus on. We had a career exploration week that included some NBA players, media, a NASA engineer, etc. It was great for us to help other kids out."
San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro says his community is "a proud partner of the Generation TX movement."
"This is our second year encouraging local businesses, higher ed institutions and community partners to help create a college-going culture by wearing their favorite college t-shirt," Castro said. "We look forward to more partners joining the journey of creating a college and career-ready Texas to not just compete, but to be a leader in the 21st century global economy."
Houston Mayor Anise Parker adds: "The young men and women graduating from high school today are tomorrow's leaders. Their ability to compete depends on a solid education. I want to personally thank the GenTX Movement for its work to encourage our young people to pursue a college education. I am certain this year's effort will reach even more Texans."

Two Google product managers buy a $2.2 million house in San Francisco
The popping of the real-estate bubble is nowhere to be seen in San Francisco — at least not in neighborhoods within walking distance of a Google shuttle. Curbed reports that two Googlers, Arielle Reinstein and Todd Jackson, bought the 4-bedroom house, listed at $2.195 million.
The sale came after quite the bidding war: The Victorian reportedly drew 12 offers, and Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal was even rumored to be interested. Curbed debunked the Gyllenhaal rumor, but got a basic fact wrong about the buyers: Reinstein and Jackson are product managers, not "executives," at Google. Why the mistake? I suppose it's hard to believe that run-of-the-mill Googlers could afford such an expensive house. But that just reflects the topsy-turvy reality of Silicon Valley's stock-option lottery.

Miami-Dade County
Danger ahead! The Fourth of July can be hazardous to your health
Keep your eyes on fireworks safety
Note: A version of this article was first published in July 2013.
As South Florida gets ready for a day of cookouts, boating and fireworks for the Fourth, here's a simple reminder:
Don't blow your hand off, get shot, wreck your car in a drunken stupor or double-over from warm potato salad.
The people responsible for your safety — cops, firefighters, public health officials — want you to stay safe out there.
Unfortunately, a pre-Fourth fireworks tragedy has already maimed a Broward man when a golf ball-sized mortar took out most of his hand.
"When things go bad with fireworks they go really bad, and often before 911 can respond. It could have been a much more tragic outcome," said BSO officer Mike Jachels.
In 2013, Shanard Saxon, then 41, had to have his hand amputated after the accident. Saxon, of Pompano Beach, was at a friend's house when the accident happened, and the Broward Sheriff's Bomb Squad seized thousands of dollars worth of fireworks, all of which were legally owned, police say.
Sixty percent of all fireworks injuries last year occurred in the month surrounding Independence Day, and about 24 percent of those injuries happened as a result of sparklers and bottle rockets, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Devin Cuson, 41, who has been a roadside firework seller for a decade, has some safety advice for the both the over-achievers and the amateurs out there.
"You should always be in an open area, have a bucket of water nearby, try to use something safe to light [the fireworks] like a barbecue lighter," said Cuson of Miami Gardens. And when it comes to children (who are at greatest risk for injury according to the National Fire Protection Association), Cuson says parents and guardians should just use common sense.
"They shouldn't be up close to any lighter, and they should never put their face in front of anything, they should always be a safe distance away."
That's why Jodi Atkison, who's been hosting her neighbors on the Fourth in her Palmetto Bay home for years, chooses to let her husband handle things. She still worries when he goes into the backyard to light the fireworks, but says that he and her neighbors always keep an eye on any children at the party.
"We definitely make sure their parents are with them, there's a dad and a mom with the kids at all times," Atkison said.
Susan Wong, 60, works at the Firework Lady stand in Davie and says when customers buy larger fireworks they take extra measures to make sure families know the risks involved.
"We have safety brochures that we give out with the big packs," Wong said.
Melissa Magen of Hollywood spent more than $600 on heavy-duty fireworks at the TNT Fireworks store in Dania Beach. The mother of four says that she's had a set plan for years on how to keep kids safe when they start the show.
"The adults stand ahead and make a barrier and the kids sit in chairs and watch," Magen said. "We do it in the park in our community."
Miramar resident, Serlo Mathelier, 42, has been shopping at TNT Fireworks for the past 10 years and says the company's solid reputation keeps him coming back and has helped him create a strategy to stay safe during the holiday.
"If you have a good amount of land space you can use a protective board that keeps the rocket from ricocheting and going all over the place," Mathelier said.
In addition to the dangers of errant explosives, authorities are warning of errant bullets, all too common during South Florida celebrations.
Ignoring the pretty simple scientific explanation of what goes up must come down, people shooting off their guns on Independence Day are asking for trouble.
Brandon Reid knows. The 15-year-old was shot in the head in Miramar by a stray bullet after the Miami Heat won NBA Finals. He survived.
In the past, Miami's police department and other city and county leaders have launched campaigns to curtail the celebratory shooting such as "No More Stray Bullets" and "One Bullet Kills the Party." The latter had the support of Miami rapper Pitbull. And while celebratory gunfire incidents account for only 5 percent of stray bullet injuries, according to a 2012 UC Davis study, almost a third of the victims were children.
Independence Day also can be a headache than holiday for officers patrolling the roads.
Nearly 800 people were killed in vehicle accidents between 2007 and 2011 just on the Fourth of July, and more than half of those accidents were alcohol-related, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. In 2012, Florida recorded 42 traffic deaths during the Fourth of July holiday period.
And while many civilians think to avoid DUIs, there's the additional danger on the water of BUI — boating under the influence. Alcohol played a role in 17 percent of boating fatalities, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Those fatalities are just the damage done to humans, but doesn't account for manatees, an endangered species in Florida. The Save the Manatee Club hopes to make more boaters aware of the sea-dwellers as the holiday approaches.
Patrick Rose, the organization's executive director, admits that their latest effort — to have boaters carry signs indicating the presence of manatees — is entirely voluntary on the part of boaters and hasn't directly been proven to reduce accidents in the past. But he hopes that those who participate make a least a small difference in reducing manatee deaths due to boat collisions, the leading human-related cause of manatee deaths according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"On the Fourth your day can go pretty rough, you're going to need to keep hydrated, you might get tired. It might take extra effort to keep [boaters] aware," said Rose, adding that "most boat owners are extra sympathetic to the manatee's plight."
Organizations are taking additional steps beyond just offering suggestions and tips, the Miami police set up a DUI checkpoint on the MacArthur Causeway, which connects the city with Miami Beach, and the county is offering the Tow to Go program, with AAA, through the weekend to give drunk drivers a free ride home and a tow for their vehicle.
In Broward, the sheriff's office is teaming up with the Florida Highway Patrol to "saturate' the highways to enforce traffic laws and crack down on DUI.
Even if South Floridians remain sober, buckle up and avoid igniting their homes and limbs, they still face the unseen threat of food poisoning. Gulp.
The Food and Drug Administration estimates that there are nearly 50 million cases of food-borne illness annually and the International Food Information Council adds that the summer is an especially dangerous time for chefs because bacteria spreads faster when food is cooked in warmer temperatures. To avoid yet another reason for a hospital trip or a rough Fifth of July, the USDA has some suggestions for preparing food. They include properly utilizing a meat thermometer, using clean utensils and ensuring that food is stored at proper temperatures. The main tip is to keep food out of the "danger zone," which means keeping hot food above 140 degrees Fahrenheit and cold food below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
So if that potato salad feels warm ...

O.G. broe wrote:TMC to partially answer your question some of those coaches wouldn't even get a interview or consideration otherwise, Good example Ron Washington and Dave Stewart was screwed over
Yeah, but is it worthy?.
I mean, I remember when the Lions picked Mariucci that they went straight for him. He was the guy they wanted and he signed in two days. Any interview for any other coach would have been a facade (if I remember correctly, the Lions said the same thing and refused to make any interview for a coach they didn't want... and the league fined them for doing so!!!).
I just think that it's a pretty stupid rule. You always go for the guy you want, no matter the background. If the league forces you to interview other guys, you'll do so to avoid the fine, not because they have any real chance.

Recipe of the day
4 envelopes (1 ounce) unflavored gelatin (each box contains 4 envelopes)
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup cold water
1 cup boiling water
12-ounce can frozen berry blend juice concentrate, thawed
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 pounds fresh strawberries, quartered
13-ounce angel food cake, cut into cubes
Start to finish: 4 hours (1 hour active); servings: 8.
Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray, then line it with plastic wrap, leaving excess wrap overhanging outside the short ends of the pan.
In a medium bowl, stir together the gelatin, sugar and cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes. Pour the boiling water into the bowl and stir to dissolve. Add the juice concentrate and stir. Pour into the prepared pan and refrigerate for 3 hours, or until firm.
When the gelatin is firm, use the plastic wrap to lift it out of the pan and overturn it onto a cutting board. Discard the plastic wrap, then cut the sheet of gelatin into 3/4-inch cubes. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until semi-firm peaks form.
In a trifle dish or a deep glass bowl, place a layer of the angel food cake cubes. Top with a layer of the strawberries, then the whipped cream, and finally the cubed gelatin. Repeat this layering process until you've used all the ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

That's the talk going around the Interwebs, referring to banter between a man and woman demonstrating the fighting game "Killer Instinct" at the Electronic Entertainment Expo Monday.
Microsoft acknowledged Tuesday that the comment was "offensive."
The man was, well, beating up on the woman when he said: "Just let it happen. It'll be over soon."
The audience laughed.
"You have a fight stick," the woman said.
"Wow. You like this," the man commented.
"No, I don't like this," the woman replied.
Jonathan Blow, a prominent game designer, typified the outraged response, Tweeting: "Let's bring a woman on stage and joke about how she's bad at games, and say stuff like 'relax, just let it happen, it'll be over soon'??"
In contrast, on a YouTube page featuring the interchange, commenter limozeen64 wrote: "If you got a rape joke from this I feel sorry for you."
In a statement Tuesday, Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Studios, said:
Yesterday, during the Xbox E3 briefing, one of our employees made an off-the-cuff and inappropriate comment while demoing 'Killer Instinct' with another employee. This comment was offensive and we apologize. At Microsoft, being open and respectful with others is central to our code of conduct and our values. Bullying and harassment of any kind is not condoned and is taken very seriously. We remain committed to make gaming fun for everyone, and in that effort, we must lead by example.

NU Adds Games with Cincinnati, Alters NIU Series
Nebraska has completed a contract for a future home-and-home football series with the University of Cincinnati, the schools announced on Thursday. Nebraska also announced that it has finalized its 2016 non-conference football schedule.
The series with Cincinnati will begin with the Bearcats visiting Memorial Stadium on Sept. 12, 2020. The Huskers will make a return trip to Cincinnati on Sept. 13, 2025. The contests in 2020 and 2025 are the first non-conference games on Nebraska's schedule for those respective seasons.
Cincinnati is a member of the American Athletic Conference and has played in a bowl game in 11 of the past 13 seasons, including BCS appearances following the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
Nebraska and Cincinnati have met just once all-time on the football field, with the previous matchup coming more than a century ago. Nebraska defeated Cincinnati in Lincoln, 41-0, in the 1906 season.
The scheduling agreement with Cincinnati also includes a home-and-home series in men's basketball. The Huskers will travel to Cincinnati in the 2013-14 campaign, with the Bearcats making a trip to Pinnacle Bank Arena during the 2014-15 season.
Nebraska also announced on Thursday that it has revised its contract for future games with Northern Illinois University. Nebraska and NIU had been scheduled for a three-game series, including two games in Lincoln and a neutral site contest at Soldier Field in Chicago. However, with the Big Ten Conference moving to a nine-game conference schedule beginning in 2016, Nebraska needed to alter its 2016 non-conference slate.
The 2016 contest between the two schools at Soldier Field has been canceled, completing Nebraska's non-conference schedule for that season. In 2016, Nebraska will play Fresno State, Tennessee and Wyoming in Lincoln before beginning its nine-game Big Ten schedule.
Although Nebraska and Northern Illinois will not play in 2016, the schools did announce that they have added two additional games at Memorial Stadium. Northern Illinois will now travel to Lincoln four times between 2017 and 2023 as part of the revised contract between the schools. NIU was previously scheduled for trips to Lincoln in 2017 and 2019, and now will also take on the Huskers in 2021 and 2023.
The schools also announced that the first of those four games has been moved to Sept. 16, 2017. The game had previously been scheduled for Sept. 2, 2017. NIU will also play in Lincoln on Sept. 14, 2019, and the two newly scheduled games will take place on Sept. 4, 2021 and Sept. 16, 2023.
The 2021 and 2023 games are the second non-league games on NU's schedule each of those two seasons. The Huskers' 2021 non-conference schedule also includes a trip to Oklahoma, while the 2023 slate also includes a trip to Colorado.
