The African American influence on popular culture is among the most sweeping and lasting this country has seen. Despite a history of institutionalized racism, black artists, entertainers, and entrepreneurs have had enormous impact on American popular culture. Pioneers such as Oscar Michaeux, Paul Robeson, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Langston Hughes, Bill Bojangles Robinson, and Bessie Smith paved the way for Jackie Robinson, Nina Simone, James Baldwin, Bill Russell, Muhammad Ali, Sidney Poitier, and Bill Cosby, who in turn opened the door for Spike Lee, Dave Chappelle, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan. Today, hip hop is the most powerful element of youth culture; white teenagers outnumber blacks as purchasers of rap music; black-themed movies are regularly successful at the box office, and black writers have been anthologized and canonized right alongside white ones. Though there are still many more miles to travel and much to overcome, this three-volume set considers the multifaceted influence of African Americans on popular culture, and sheds new light on the ways in which African American culture has come to be a fundamental and lasting part of America itself. To articulate the momentous impact African American popular culture has had upon the fabric of American society, these three volumes provide analyses from academics and experts across the country. They provide the most reliable, accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive treatment of key topics, works, and themes in African American popular culture for a new generation of readers. The scope of the project is vast, including: popular historical movements like the Harlem Renaissance; the legacy of African American comedy; African Americans and the Olympics; African Americans and rock 'n roll; more contemporary articulations such as hip hop culture and black urban cinema; and much more. One goal of the project is to recuperate histories that have been perhaps forgotten or obscured to mainstream audiences and to demonstrate how African Americans are not only integral to American culture, but how they have always been purveyors of popular culture.In 1982 the NCAA announced that it was going to host the first Womena#39;s National Championship Tournament. ... However, no other team dominated womena#39;s basketball more than teams at the University of Southern California (USC) in the anbsp;...

We've spent the last six months adding resources to give Opportunistic Deal Database subscribers information they absolutely cannot get from anywhere else, and the promotion of Belinda to lead the team is a logical next step toward that end.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 05, 2013
DailyDAC, LLC is pleased to announce the promotion of Belinda Jones to the position of Senior Researcher. Jones, whose previous experience includes research positions in public library and university settings, will lead DailyDAC's Opportunistic Research Team, which focuses on locating opportunities for subscribers to invest in distressed companies, excess assets, and other "opportunistic buys."
"The research for our Mature Deal Database, which focuses on feeding potential deals to private equity firms and family offices, is performed by CapTarget, perhaps the leading provider of outsourced M&A research in the country," according to DailyDAC COO Amanda Florip.
In contrast, DailyDAC's Opportunistic Deal Database, which focuses on distressed companies, is done entirely in house. "We've spent the last six months adding resources to give Opportunistic Deal Database subscribers information they absolutely cannot get from anywhere else," according to Florip, "and the promotion of Belinda to lead the team is a logical next step toward that end."
About DailyDAC:
DailyDAC - Deal Acquisition Central - provides subscribers with access to databases containing information about private companies that are for sale, selling select assets, looking for an equity partner, and/or seeking debt financing.
DailyDAC's Opportunistic Deal Database focuses on deals involving companies in financial distress or that have other reasons necessitating urgency. Everyday its researchers review court dockets, public notices, and news sources involving bankruptcy cases, receiverships, assignments for the benefit of creditors, Article 9 sales, foreclosures, and auction notices. Everyday its researchers also speak with dozens of professionals to pry out of them information about deals they are working on so that that information can be turned into timely, actionable intelligence that our subscribers can use to make money.
DailyDAC's Mature Deal Database focuses on companies with positive EBITDA and which are likely of particular interest to private equity firms and family offices.

Hopefully we can start a new topic since it is a new season. :)
I hope people who weren't sure about it last year give it a chance this season. Everything is so much better production wise. It looks better, feels better, and the season premier sets up some compelling storylines.

Lots of DAYS fans here. Watch "Don Craig" bring in the mail. ;)

|Wow! What a difference! I only watched a bit (only cuz I have to finish up Season 1) and the difference is crazy. SO much better :D
|Oct 27 2011, 09:55 PM Post #4
I laughed hysterically when I saw Jed Allen with the mail.
The episode was definitely an improvement in quality. I was trying to figure out how much time had passed since the season finale. Lex is out of the hospital and Peter is missing, but Vivian just woke up. And what happened to Isabella? Wasn't she believed kidnapped at the end of last season? Hopefully, that will be answered soon.

I thought it was good.
I was surprised Brian just expects to marry Zoey even with everything that's going on. Sara was surprised too...Zoey had no idea...and look who her father is...Jed Allan! Not only that, but he was bringing in the mail. I always hear that his old Days character, Don Craig once disappeared while checking the mail, so that was a nice bit of tongue in cheek humor.
Oh, and that moment between Mac and Christine? Crazy there. Crazy. Did she run Vivian down? Is she trying to make sure she's the sole focus of Mac's affections?
Jackie Zeman...southern belle...just shows up at Sara's to plan the wedding. On the DAY of the wedding? And since when does a mayor's wife moonlight as a wedding planner or whatever?
I saw that Paul Satterfield is now playing Lee Nelson...Seems like he and Mary Beth Evans have some good chemistry goin' there. They're trying to figure out what the HECK is going on around the Bay, LOL! They've got no clue about what Brian's thinking. They don't know WHERE Pete is. And no one knows that Marly...the daughter who's kinda tough on her mother...is actually indulging in an extramarital affair.
I enjoyed watching it...and there were no technical issues to point to that distracted from the action on screen...I love the new opening credits too.
I look forward to seeing what happens next.

I loved the first episode of season 2.
Love the new theme music, its catchy and suits the show much better than the music from last season.
OMG, Don Craig brought in the mail, how awesome was that LOL.
I loved Jackie Zeman as Sophia, she brings such a wonderful bubbly energy to the role, loved the southern accent and then when she lowered her sunnies and totally checked out the hot wedding helpers I laughed, I think I am going to enjoy watching this character.
Loved the Lane DAvies and Sandra Dee Robinson scenes, intense, and they spark off each other. That Dr Christine is a little bit nutty and I wouldnt be surprised if she actually did have something to do with Vivians car accident.
The big shocker for me was Martha Madisons character Marly having an affair with the totally hot Manny played by Ignacio Serricchio. They have smoking hot chemistry and I cant wait to see how Sara reacts when she finds out her judgemental daughter who is always on her case is having an affair, maybe this is a chance for Sara and Marly to start to mend their differences. In any case its going to end badly for Marly she is already cut up about cheating on her hubby, but just cant seem to help herself.
Also liked the Sara and Lee scenes, Mary Beth EVans and PAul Satterfield are going to be great together, loved the tension when Lex (Tristian Rogers) spied them so close together. I wonder what it is that Lee has to tell SAra.
Cant wait for next week to find out what happens.
The show looks so good with all the location shots and is fresh and exciting, I prefer it to the network soaps I watch.

The Heart of America Shakespeare Festival delivers a charming, physical and often funny production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," a play about fickle love and the warped perceptions that go with it.
Director Sidonie Garrett, as usual, brings together a strong cast that includes festival veterans and relative newcomers. The Thursday night performance was officially a preview, and even if it wasn't as polished as you might prefer, the fact that the actors had a short rehearsal period while learning "Antony and Cleopatra," the festival's other show this year, makes the generally high quality of the production all the more admirable. This production includes some extraordinary physical performances.
Shakespeare wrote some of his funniest material for this play, in which he intermingles three storylines with a degree of finesse that impresses 420 years later.
In the framing story, Theseus, the Duke of Athens (David Fritts) is planning his wedding to the beautiful Hippolyta (Kim Martin-Cotten) but first must make an executive decision regarding the case of Hermia (Emily Peterson), who defies her father by refusing to honor the marriage contract that would wed her to Demetrius (Phillip Shinn).
She's in love with young Lysander (Daniel Frederick) and will not betray her heart, which under the law could result in her death or in life as a nun. The Duke gives her a month to think about it.
Meanwhile, Hermia's friend Helena (Andrea Geurtsen) is madly in love with Demetrius but can't get him to respond.
Interceding in these affairs of the heart are Oberon, King of the Faeries (John Rensenhouse) and his less-than-efficient henchman, Puck (Jacques Roy). Oberon is at odds with his queen, Titania (Jan Rogge), over her affection for "the Indian boy," a changeling. Under orders from Oberon, Puck begins mucking about with sleeping spells and amorous potions, which yield amusing results.
Finally, we have the "mechanicals," the tradesmen who are to perform the "lamentable comedy" of "Pyramus and Thisbe" for the Duke's wedding. Led by Peter Quince (Bruce Roach), the bumbling amateurs include Nick Bottom (Matthew Rapport), Francis Flute (J. Will Fritz), Robin Starveling (Ben Auxier), Tom Snout (Greg Brostrom) and Snug the Joiner (TJ Chasteen).
One could argue that the mechanicals are the real heart and soul of the play. At the very least they provide some of the most enduring images and the richest humor of the piece. Indeed, comic performances are what the show is all about and this production showcases several.
Rapport has evolved into one of the city's finest comic actors, and he's at his best as Bottom, the amateur who imagines himself so gifted that he should play every role. Roach, as the harried stage director who tries to manage players with enormous deficiencies, gives us one of his best performances.
Of the young principals, Peterson and Geurtsen provide inspired performances as gorgeous young women whose romantic longings are stymied repeatedly by forces in both the real and magical worlds of the play. They make the most of a scene in which they trade insults and Geurtsen captures Helena's mounting paranoia beautifully.
As the objects of their affections, Shinn and Frederick can't really match the women, although their performances get more interesting as the show progresses.
Festival veterans Rensenhouse and Rogge are just fine, but Oberon and Titania are virtually "straight men" to the comedy, as are Theseus and Hippolyta, who are played crisply by Fritts and Martin-Cotten.
The most remarkable performance comes from Roy, who gives us a vivid and utterly unique Puck. Roy is an athletic actor who makes the most of his athleticism, turning somersaults, bouncing off trampolines, even walking on his hands at one point. His Puck is a manic servant desperate to please, but who almost never gets it right.
Cinnamon Schultz as the First Faerie delivers an impressive physical performance of her own, chalking up some tumbling moves and a handstand or two. She can't match Roy's acrobatics, but I'm not sure anyone could.
Costume designer Mary Traylor delivers some sumptuous clothes, dressing the Athenians in Georgian-era gowns and cutaway tailcoats and the Faeries in classical Indian garb. Rensenhouse even wears a turban.
The performance by the mechanicals of "Pyramus and Thisbe" is really a satirical commentary by the Bard on the artificiality of theater. An actor must play a wall. A lantern represents the moon. The performers overact. They can't remember their lines. At every moment they shatter any possible illusion.
If you wonder how the art of illusion was achieved in Shakespeare's day, this probably provides a fairly accurate picture.

text: arnookie 15 Report post Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) The Battery drain fix I found works like this. I found this through trial and error. Should work on all phones with clockwork recovery. Step 1 Charge phone to 100% whilst in android os. Then shut down the phone and charge again for a further 1 hour. Ignore the battery icon saying it is already fully charged just keep it charging for the full hour. Step 2 Unplug the charger and boot clockwork By holding power and volume down untill the second vibrate. Step 3 In clockwork go to advanced and select Wipe battery stats. Wipe battery data 3 times. (you must do this three times.) Step 4 Then insert your charger whilst still in clockwork. Wait about 5 mins and wipe battery stats again. Step 5 Finally unplug the charger whilst still in clockwork and then wipe battery data again. Step 6 Press back button in clockwork twice and select restart the phone. Thats it done. My battery has been superb since I did these steps. Hope it helps. :0) Please leave comments if you find it helped your battery problem. My battery is now lasting 3x longer than before.

Entry #1
I remember the day my baby sister was born. It was the day before Christmas, an hour before midnight. I remember putting on gloves, a mask, and a gown. I was so juiced just to be able to have a baby sister. At first I was angry and upset that she was coming into this awful world, but then I thought about the fact that she will always have me to protect her. I remember standing at the end of that hospital bed getting ready to deliver my adorable baby sister. I was all smiles until she actually came out. I remember my vision going dark and the blood draining from my face. If it were not for my aunt touching me, I would have passed out. I remember as I came back to, my little sister shot out and I caught her. If it weren't for me standing there, the nurse would've missed her as she was across the room. I remember when I cut the umbilical cord and handed her to my mom. I remember my mom's beautiful bright smile. I remember that happiness in her eyes. Seeing that made me happy. I remember spending Christmas in the hospital and opening the presents on the table. I remember taking her first nap together on the hospital bed with her in my arms, next to my mom. I remember her first laugh and the first steps she took toward me. I remember her first words, "I love you…sissy and mommy." I remember the happiness she brought to our family and it still carries on today. I will always remember her as a little baby girl when she's older and in the teen years. I will always remember my mom's words, saying, "You are the one she'll look up to and you two will always be close." That will always be my favorite Christmas.
Entry #2
I remember when my mom left to prison for the first time. We went to visit her to pick up my baby sister who was born while she was there. I remember when my mom got out and we went to go live with her. That didn't last long. My mom was in and out of our lives for nine years. I remember when my uncle and cousins came to live with us at my Grandma's house and how he called me names and put me down. I remember that first hit off a blunt with his step daughter. I remember the look of sorrow in my Grandparent's eyes the first time I got locked up, but still they remained patient. I remember the first time I went on the run just so I could hang out, but how it lead to me being kind of strung out. After everything I've seen and been through this last time I was on the run I think of how lucky I am because my life should have been done. But now I am locked up and have a chance to get my stuff together. Since I've been here I've passed my GED and signed up for classes at Butte College. I'm ready to do right and be successful just like my Grandmother.
Entry #3
When I'm in my cell
I hear my demon call
Was young when I started hanging with the goons and fiends
Dreams of being on a TV screen
But drugs and gunpowder had to intervene
When I'm in my cell
I hear my demon call
Is this all my life will ever be?
Will I ever make it to see 18?
I'm the last of a dying breed
The hell with it all
Fathers gone 12 years later
I finally got a call
When I'm in my cell I hear my demon call
The place I'll never call home are these concrete walls
How long will it take before I take my last fall?
If I die young let it be
When I'm in my cell
I hear my demon call
Tell grandma I'm sorry
I'm no longer the little boy with the toy Ferrari
So I sit in my cell
And talk to my demon
We talk about our old dreams
Now it's back to reality
With the thieves and fiends
Entry #4
I remember when things were good. I remember when I was happy. I remember when my family was still a family. I remember when I had people that cared what I did and when I did it. I remember when people cared about what I thought and how I felt. I remember when my dad and mom acted like they were concerned. I remember when my mom was sober. I remember the long painful nights hearing her scream and cry for things I could not give her. I remember the cold night me and my sister wandered around all night not knowing what to do or where to go. I remember when I tried. I remember when I cared. I remember when I was happy.
Entry #5
I remember when I was taken away from my mom to a place I thought was hopeful, but ended up a mess. I remember when I ran away for the first time, just tying to let go of the stress. I remember when I met 24 year old eBay who changed my life for the worst. I was only 12 years old. He didn't care. All he wanted was that doe. I remember when he told me he saw money in me. And as long as I live he would never let me free. Six years later, I'm stuck in the same world he promised I'd be. I remember all those cold nights he would leave me on the streets, saying I couldn't come in until his pockets were neat. I remember like it's yesterday… me begging him to stop the violence. "Shut up, bitch. You're just a 12 year old hoe." I remember feeling so hurt inside knowing it would be time to decide. I remember thinking I was all alone, just a little girl trying to find her way. I remember the day I met 11 year old *****. I asked her how she did it. She said life had nothing else for her. I remember that day he told me she died. Something inside of me said it was a lie. To this day I still remember all he taught me. Sitting here in juvenile hall trying to be free of my past and live today and tomorrow like it's my last. I remember the day I said "No, I will not be a hoe." It felt so good because now I believe my future will be my greatest achievement. And if I had to do it again I would do it in the same skin I'm in, just in a new way.
Entry #6
I Awake, dazed by the bright Light.
Seems Fake, but I know I survived another Night.
Before I get Up, I get a glimpse of Last Night's Dream.
I can't even let out a cry or Scream.
I can see myself Sleeping, eye's open & can't even make a Move.
I feel the Devil Creeping, and hear a little melody that sets the Groove.
Sounds like Nonsense, but my soul can detach and leave my Body.
Trying to make Amends, with the person I lost by being Naughty.
Finally no more Struggling, I can open my Eyes.
And no more Juggling, the screams and Cries.
I kneel by my bed and Pray, that the Devil will go Away.
Though the Lords by my Side, the Devils waiting for me to Ride.
Entry #7 I remember always saying I would never do drugs. I remember always saying I would never end up like everyone else in my family. I remember when I thought I would never be on the streets asking people for money just so I would have something to eat. I remember telling myself I would never end up here in juvenile hall. The hall was the last place I thought I would be. I remember most of all how badly I hurt people by doing the things I liked the most. I guess I need to find a better hobby than sitting with a bunch of tweakers and smoking dope. In the future I want to remember how badly it feels to be in here away from the people I love. I want to remember that I don't ever want to be here again. I want to remember to keep those things in my mind. Drug addiction is what my family is built on. I want to remember how bad I felt the last time I did drugs so I can remember that I don't want to do them again.
Entry #8
It was a cold night in Phoenix, Arizona. A day I will always remember. It was my birthday and my cousin and I were coming home from my second party. As we were walking towards my grandmother's house my cousin and I ran into some trouble with these two other guys walking toward our direction. I don't know why they started trouble, but they thought they were tough. One of them swung on my cousin and it was on. After the guy I was fighting started to back away, I pulled my cousin off of the other guy who he had completely messed up. I told my cousin we had to go before they brought more people. He agreed and we took off running. Sure enough, the two guys came rolling down the street in a black car with one sticking his head and arm out of the window with a gun. Everything went so fast. First it was the fight and then us running and them coming after us with a gun. My mind went blank to the sound of gunshots and a scream. After the shots and the car were gone, I noticed my cousin wasn't near me. I looked back and saw him lying on the ground. He died in the ambulance an hour later. My birthday is always a nightmare.
Entry #9
I remember that first hit I took of crystal. I was 13. Little did I know that first hit would change my life forever. I'm proud of who I am today, but disappointed in the decisions I have chosen. I've done a lot of bad things; things I'll have to live with for the rest of my life. People see me and all I'm known for is my reputation of fighting. Little do they know all that anger is from sadness which escalates to full blown rage. In this chase to get high I have only found failure. I've encountered things that kids my age shouldn't even know about. Every day that goes by I pray in my cell, clinging to faith that things will get better. But every day I wonder why I am here again. Why didn't I listen when I should have? Why didn't' I stick to the saying, "Say no to drugs?" Why Why Why? Sure as hell, I know why. I was too busy saying, "What drugs should we try next?" I remember when I did my first shot of dope. I never really understood why I was feeling the way I was toward the drugs. I loved it, but afterwards I started using more and shooting regularly, stabbing myself constantly. I was feeling more and more lonely with no one but myself as I continued to look for my next fix. It's a tragedy, but everything happens for a reason. I was lucky enough to survive. I was lucky enough to get locked up when I did. I also remember the day when I finally realized things can only get better if I want them to. Life is a struggle, but it is what I make it. Regardless of everything I've been through, I'm still me and as long as I stand tall through it all, I'll be okay.
Entry #10
Before my baby was born, I was a teen who would always try to find a way to smoke, drink, and get high. Before him I was constantly in trouble. I was in trouble in school and out, at home, and with the law. I knew all the choices I was making were wrong but I didn't care. Why? I guess I was trying to impress people, just to get their attention. Today is my birthday and I am in here at juvenile hall spending it being locked up away from my baby boy. While my son is at home I am stuck in here on my birthday with a mistake I regretfully made, but for some reason instead of being sad that I am in here, I'm kind of happy because I know that I'll be safer in here than being sorry out there. I know I would've done something stupid out there that I wish I hadn't and would regret it. What makes me happier is that my mom is supposed to bring my son tomorrow, and that's the birthday gift I was wishing for. Every minute that he is with me is a minute that I'm going to cherish and to me that is the best birthday gift I can ask for.
Entry #11
I thought you cared, but you left me alone and scared. Why didn't you show up? Probably sick and throwing up. It's amazing how what someone else does can cause great changes in another's life. Living with no love will just have to suffice because there's none from where I come: only negative statements toward me like, "You're going to grow up to be a bum." I just want you to love me. I don't know how to make that more clear for you to see. My hope for you unfortunately will never die, so I sit back and watch you destroy yourself. It makes me cry. I don't know what else I can do. I'll just have to pray more and more for you.
Entry #12
I remember watching my big sis hang out with guys that were drinking and smoking. They carried guns. I watched them shoot at a group of people just because of the color they were wearing. I watched two bodies hit the ground. I was in the back of the car with my sis driving. One of the guys said to turn around and we drove back up the block. The other guys had their guns out and I heard, "Pop, pop, pop," as we took off. I didn't know what to do. The next day cops were at my house. They had my sis on the ground with guns pointing at her. She went to jail. I lost my sis that day for the next six years just because she wanted to impress her boyfriend.
Entry #13
I remember when one of my closest friends got killed right in front of me. We were on our way to the store to get some swishers. A car pulled up next to us and we exchanged words. The next thing I knew I saw a 45 pointed at us, so we took off running. Then I heard the sound of gunshots. All of them went into my friend's back. I kept running until I heard the screech of the cars wheels taking off. I turned back and saw my friend slumped right next to a curb. I ran up to see if he was alright, but he wasn't even breathing. I made an anonymous call to the cops, gave him a hug, and ran around the block, waiting for the cops to show. His body was just lying there. I'll never be the same.
Entry #14
I remember the happy days when we were all one family, when there were no arguments and fights, when we used to BBQ every Sunday. I remember the divorce that tore my family apart… my parent's arguments. I tried to shut it out of my mind, but it was everywhere, even when I slept. I remember staying up countless nights listening and praying that they would stop fighting. I remember the first time I started smoking weed. It felt so good to forget about the divorce, but when the high was over and I came back to reality, the problem was still there, so I kept smoking. I also started drinking and all the other drugs that came my way, I did. I remember the look on my mom's face when I walked out because I was tired of all the bullshit. I remember yelling at my dad. I remember the sound of my parents' voices when I called and told them I was locked up. I remember telling my brothers not to follow in my footsteps, but to go in the opposite direction. I remember telling them not to look up to me. I remember the look on my family's faces when I got out. I will always remember that.
Entry #15
I remember when I had my freedom. It seems like so long ago now, but it's really only been twenty days. I miss the freedom of hearing my baby cry, because when he cries, it makes me feel wanted. I've never felt wanted until he was born. My father was never around and my mom used drugs. I was taken away at just under two years old. My whole life I felt betrayed by my parents. I hated them for having me. For a really long time I wished death upon myself. I came close to suicide a few times. Life got even worse for me when my little sister died. She was beaten and never taken to the hospital. She passed away in 2002, five days after her second birthday. I was devastated. Once again, I no longer wanted to live. I wanted my sister back. I still want my sister back. Every day I wake up and decide to dedicate it to her. I'm only seventeen and I guess having a kid was kind of my way of trying to replace her. I have learned she can't be replaced, nor do I want her to be replaced.
Entry #16
One day I was walking to go pick up my little brother from school and I happened to see the cutest Chihuahua ever. She was just a baby and so small? She was all alone and so was I. I picked her up and took her home. I had her for almost two months. I loved her so much. She was very light tan with green eyes. I named her *******. She became my baby; I took her everywhere with me, and when I say everywhere I mean everywhere! I took her to school, the mall, and the park. When I went out of town I even took her with me. I never left her alone because I loved her so much. The days I spent with her I felt like a mother. I always had to wake up in the middle of the night because she would cry to get on the bed and I had to wake up to feed her. I never really knew how much I loved her until one day we were walking by a church and it just happened to be right after a wedding. The man that got married came up to me and asked me if I wanted to sell the dog. I didn't want to, but I really could have used the money. He said his wife always wanted one and that the puppy would be the perfect wedding gift. Also, who would turn down $200? So, reluctantly, I sold her. He told me to wait and see the look on his wife's face when she came out. I did and she was so happy. She cried and I cried. The lady said, "Oh my gosh she wants her dog back." I did want her back so badly! But that wouldn't be fair to take and then give something back, so I said go ahead and keep her. It happened so fast. That would have to be the saddest time of my life. Still to this day all I think about is that dog. She really taught me what love meant. Sooner or later I will get another dog and I will love him/her just as much as I loved ******* because you never know what you have until it's gone.
Entry #17
I was born into a one parent home with a mom who did dope. I was taken by CPS when I was 8 months old and adopted at 14 months. The home I was adopted into was a loving, caring environment. We went to church every Sunday and had a family group on Monday nights. When I was in the 6th grade, I started to "kick it" with the wrong crowd. We would smoke, drink, and commit crimes. At the end of 6th grade, a couple of us committed a burglary. I got locked up the next day. I was in only a night, but it felt like forever. When my mom picked me up the next morning, she was crying. She said, "It broke my heart to have you away." I thought that would be the last time I got into trouble, but it wasn't. I've been in and out of the hall 10 times. They even put me in private schools and group homes, but none seem to help. Now I'm 16 years old facing juvenile hall time till I'm 18, then five years in the county jail. I don't know why I mess up as much as I do, but I wish it would stop.

text: In 2003, Omer Arbel founded a multi-disciplinary design studio focused on blurring the boundaries between the fields of architecture, industrial design, and materials research. It has been said of Arbel's practice that its industrial design works appear to be motivated by larger scale concepts which can only be considered architectural. Conversely, critics have noted that the practice's architectural works appear to be inspired by an obsession with the object and the intrinsic qualities of materials. Pieces by Arbel have won high profile awards, been widely exhibited and published, and form part of important private and institutional collections. In 2005, Arbel became Bocci's creative director. His conceptual approach, now fueled by an infrastructure for prototyping, fine craft, manufacturing and distribution, has given birth to a collection of conceptually driven lighting, furniture, electrical accessories and objects, which have since gained significant presence and impact within the design community.

Will Ferrell: Anchorman 2 Paycheck Totally Worth a Few Bad Reviews
Plus: Diddy the next McLovin.
Update: Ferrell's quote comes from a 2009 interview that Contact Music thought was funny enough to run again today.
"I thought we were doing it. I was told it was happening and now I've heard it's going to be too hard to get everyone together. ... We don't think we can make it as good. It would be really fun to do, so we might just try to make the craziest sequel you've ever seen. It could be terrible, but if they're going to pay us to do it, then why not, right?" —Will Ferrell on Anchorman 2 [Zoo via Contact Music]
"Well, it's hard because they pay a lot of money. Sometimes, when you want to buy an apartment in Manhattan, you gotta do one or two." —Amanda Seyfried on whether actresses can swear off romantic comedies [VF]
"[Mike Myers is] working on ideas for it, people are definitely talking about it and I'm all good for it." —Director Jay Roach on Austin Powers 4 [NYP]
"I think Diddy's going to really shock people. We were saying Diddy's kind of the McLovin of Get Him to the Greek. You don't know what he's going to do. Every time he breathes in the movie, it garners a huge laugh." —Jonah Hill [MTV]
"I don't know about Julianne [Moore], but I was counting down the days until we had to shoot our sex scene. When we finally did, we were both like, 'OK, let's go for it.' It became a team effort. We just took off our clothes and hopped into bed and did seven takes." —Amanda Seyfried on Chloe [Parade]
"I'm waiting on Frank [Miller] for the sequel to 300 and there's a really good chance that will be the thing we do. ... There was a big discussion about what we would do for the sequel to 300 and I said, 'I didn't tell Frank what to write the first time, and I'm not telling him what to write this time.' I'll take it and I'll adapt it and make it into a movie and I'll write a screenplay ... I'm pretty confident it's going to be awesome." —Director Zack Snyder [Super Hero Hype via Playlist]
"Sandra, if you need me, sugar, call me, baby ... " —Mo'nique [Entertainment Tonight via Us]
"I find this wave of super-skinny women scary. ... I look at the red carpet sometimes and it's like a pageant. I'm quite a broad girl, not at all delicate. I watch what I eat to stay in shape, but I'm against diets. I eat when I'm hungry, three meals a day. ... [I don't like] my eyes. They look like peeholes in the sand. Hair, make-up, I make the most of myself." —Catherine Zeta-Jones [OK!]
"I had an idea that we'd go back in time to when Marcus was first put in jail. They broke Linda Hamilton out of jail in [Terminator 2: Judgment Day], out of the nuthouse. In this one, they'd have to go back in time and break Marcus out of jail. It's the same kind of mirror image." —Sam Worthington on a potential Terminator Salvation sequel [MTV]
"He is stupid hot. It's ridiculous. Even his hands are beautiful. [Kissing him is] unbelievable. Could you imagine if he sucked? I would have slapped him. ... He gave me the movie [Spread] to watch. I watched it one day during lunch, but when I went back to work, I was like, 'I don't know if I could look at you right now. I know you far too intimately and I'm really uncomfortable
I've seen your O-face!" —Katherine Heigl on Ashton Kutcher [E! Online]

Sun Devil Six Pack: ASU quarterback previewPosted: Updated:
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The streak is in danger.
Not since 2007 and 2008 has Arizona State had a quarterback start consecutive season openers, but barring an injury to Taylor Kelly in the next nine days, that dubious mark will come to an end.
In just one calendar year, Kelly has gone from afterthought to Heisman darkhorse, and he is now in position to lead his Sun Devil team on a run at the Rose Bowl.
While the Sun Devil defense has received most of the attention over the offseason, it is Kelly's offense that should be the difference in whether this much-hyped 2013 season can meet expectations. Talented playmakers populate the skill positions, so if Kelly can continue his upward career arc, the team should be a strong contender for a Pac-12 South division title.
To preview the ASU quarterbacks, we take a look at six elements that will define the position this fall.
1) Now No. 1, can Taylor Kelly become No. 3 (or better?)
Beyond even Will Sutton's emergence as a consensus All-American, no development was more surprising last year than Kelly's excellence.
Once thought to be running third in the three-man quarterback race at the start of last year's fall camp, Kelly ultimately became one of the best quarterbacks in the conference, throwing for 3,039 yards and 29 touchdowns while setting the school's accuracy record by completing 67.1-percent of his throws. He was also a dangerous runner, leading the team with 724 yards rushing (pre-sack deduction total).
Heading into 2013, the 6-foot-2, 201-pound redshirt junior is primed to take his game to the next level. While most pundits place Oregon's Marcus Mariota and UCLA's Brett Hundley atop the Pac-12's quarterback rankings, Kelly is in the next group of quarterbacks with the likes of Washington's Keith Price, Stanford's Kevin Hogan and Oregon State's Sean Mannion for that third slot, and Kelly has seen his name on numerous preseason award watch lists.
Kelly's diligent offseason work has him in position to make the leap, and should he play well and lead the team to three or more wins through their murderous early schedule, he may just find himself mentioned with the nation's elite.
2) Standing Tall
The numbers say it all.
For all his success a year ago, there was a clear troubling trend about Kelly's play in 2012. In ASU's eight wins, Kelly threw 21 touchdowns and not a single interception. In the team's five losses: Eight touchdowns and nine interceptions. As Kelly went, so did the Sun Devils.
During the team's season-defining four-game losing streak, Kelly faced four defenses—Oregon, UCLA, Oregon State and USC—that were able to put sustained pressure on him. Like many first-year quarterbacks, Kelly struggled. Those four opponents tallied 18 sacks, exactly half of the total ASU allowed all year.
Kelly will need to stand tough in the face of pressure again this year. Combining last year's sack and tackles-for-loss totals, ASU will face three of the top five teams from last year (Stanford 1st, USC 4th, UCLA 5th, and ASU was 2nd) this fall, and six of the top 50.
Now with a year of experience, Kelly is better equipped, mentally and physically, to handle opposing pressure and make smart plays. Starting next Tuesday, he'll have to prove it on the field.
3) Comfort with the new weapons
Kelly's success in 2013 was amazing on its own, but it was even more remarkable considering that the team's play at wide receivers was below average (at best), which in turn resulted in great seasons by tight end Chris Coyle and running backs Marion Grice and D.J. Foster, all of whom return.
Not one to stand pat, head coach Todd Graham brought in five wide receivers and two tight ends in this year's recruiting class, and as many as six of those newcomers should see the field this fall.
Two wide receivers, Jaelen Strong and Ellis Jefferson, have been among fall camp's biggest stars. Strong has all the tools to be a true No. 1 wide receiver and nearly has a starting job locked up, while Jefferson's big body (6-foot-4) and reliable hands have him competing for a job in the slot. Ronald Lewis and Cameron Smith are shifty speedsters, and Joe Morris figures to be in the mix when healthy. New 3-back De'Marieya Nelson has size, speed, and versatility to provide a playmaking complement to Coyle in a num,ber of ways.
Through the first three weeks of fall camp, the newcomers have seen their share of growing pains, but many, especially Strong, Jefferson and Nelson, have begun to show that they will be contributors this season.
Kelly and the quarterbacks have the benefit of having a year of experience in the offense, so it will be paramount that they can continue to ramp up the newcomers as quickly, as after the opener, the Sun Devils will need all the weapons they can muster.
4) Is Berc ready to take over if needed?
Over spring and fall camps, Mike Bercovici has elevated his game to the level many expected of him last year. Heading into last year's fall camp, Bercovici was viewed as the favorite to start for the team, before dropping to third and ultimately redshirting in 2012.
Now refocused, reenergized and slimmer, Bercovici has been consistently on point through camp, showing off the strong arm and polished passing skills for which he was known. He also has been a much better runner than last year, and while he won't ever be the scarmbling threat of Kelly or Michael Eubank, his improved mobility makes him a more dangerous playmaker and better fit for the offense.
His resurgence has him primed to be Kelly's top backup, and should Kelly be lost for an extended period of time, the 6-foot-1, 196-pound Bercovici appears to be ready to hold the line for the Sun Devil offense.
5) How will Eubank be used?
Michael Eubank possesses a physical toolset very few can match. Standing 6-foot-6 and 240 pounds, Eubank has a cannon of an arm and is an equally powerful runner.
It was that mix of skills that led the ASU coaching staff to frequently use him in special packages throughout the year, with varying levels of success. However, with Kelly's development and some situational struggles, those packages became less frequent as the year went on.
Eubank is still developing as a passer, and with Bercovici perhaps passing him up, the question stands as to whether, or how much, Eubank's specially designed plays will be used.
6) Will all three guys stay?
Kelly is the unquestioned starter, and the team received a verbal commit this summer from 4-star prospect Manny Wilkins, who figures to inherit the job from Kelly in 2015. With that in mind, where does that leave Bercovici and Eubank.
Both players are confident in their abilities, and believe that they are starting-caliber players. If the road to a starting job is as clogged as it appears to be, a transfer could be in the works.
To their credit, both Bercovici and Eubank have said they have every intent to remain Sun Devils, but it bears watching if ultimately their desire for playing time takes them elsewhere.

transcript and audio (mp3 5Mb 22minutes) of the presentation.
Well once upon a time, there was the HTML 3 (or 3.2 depending on your view) which introduced forms including the input element and people where happy they had forms.
People quickly found the limitations of the input element, remember this is before CSS, styling was text and borders.
So people lobbied the W3C for an improved version of the input element and with HTML 4 came the button element. And the W3C said Content providers can display rich HTML in any button source:http://www.w3.org/Press/HTML4-REC
If you are a big believer in the input element. And nothing I say tonight changes your mind. the one thing I want you to take away from this is use type="button" when adding javascript action to a input element.
Opera 8.51 has a little problem aligning the image on the button, do not know why. Hard to spot if it was not for the black background.
Opera 9 on the Mac does not have that problem and has pretty funky buttons until you style them.
Gecko engine browsers are pretty consistent, very little difference between Mozillia or Firefox, or Mac, PC or Linux OS
Of course Camino is the exception, because it uses Apple's web kit. You can control the text size and overall size of the input element. But no control over the background.
Safari is the real challenge. The text size on the input element does not even change when increase the text size. The only thing you can control is the width of the input element.
this is just a holding container none of this has anything to do with the button, other than centring it neatly on the page.
Replace image tag with
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/button.swf">
<param name="movie" value="images/button.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
.democ object{width: 4em; height: 4em;}
Even though the button has padding set to 0, IE magically gives the button some extra padding
If you have problems with how elements behave, add a one pixel border.
Internet Explorer from 4 to the current beta of 7 adds roughly
to each button element, this padding can not be removed.

Needing a dose of cuteness on this fine Thursday afternoon? Same.
So here's a fun fact to brighten your day: Victoria Beckham is really into dogs. She and the fam have a French bulldog, and she recently palled around with a friend's pup named Harry. He's white with a black nose and super adorable. Oh, and he occassionally wears dresses.
We became aware of Harry's existence due to Beckham's Twitter, which is peppered with all sorts of fun personal photos from her glamorous life. (Remember that time she tweeted from the cockpit of a commercial jet?)
So because it's just that kind of day, we're going to dare to ask: who's cuter, Harry or Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld's super spoiled kitten who has two maids and plays with iPads?
Harry got his teeth cleaned and now is super loving himself in one of my dresses!!!! X twitter.com/victoriabeckha…

Sligo Rovers will be looking to bounce back from the disappointment of their Europa League exit when they travel to Louth to face Dundalk at Oriel Park.
The pressure will be on Paul Cook's side as they face the double whammy of also losing top spot in the league with Derry and Shamrock Rovers both winning to send the Bit O'Red down to third in the table.
Sligo will be determined to get back to the top today with a nine game unbeaten league run behind them the form guide is very much in their favour. Sligo drew 0-0 with St Pats Athletic the last time out on July 23rd while a week earlier they put in a season's best performance in the 8-0 win over Galway.
Sligo will make the journey to Louth without Alan Keane who injured his thigh in training midweek and is out and Jason McGuinness who is suspended.
Speaking to the club's official website Cook was refusing to let the defeat by Vorskla Poltava hang over his side, "It was a disappointing night on Thursday. We were beaten by a better side and we make no excuses. It will prove a good lesson for the players and now we have to bounce back.
"We said before the European matches that our priority was the league season. That hasn't changed and we can't afford to reflect on Thursday for too long because every game will be vital between now and the end of the year.
"Dundalk is a very hard place to go to. The teams know each other quite well and the games are always tight."
Dundalk also had a goal less draw the last time, impressing in a tight encounter with Derry at the Brandywell.
Dundalk's recent form has been strong with a 3-1 loss to Bohemians their only set back in their last 7 games, a run that has seen 17 goals and three win's and three draws.
Dundalk boss Ian Foster was full of praise for the Westerners ahead of the clash but was also confident that his side could get three points "They come here with a fabulous squad on the back of some wonderful results and clean sheets galore, so we know how difficult it will be to break them down.
"But we'll go into the game full of confidence. We'll go into the game on the front foot and we'll go and try to get three points against one of the best teams in the League of Ireland.
"If they can stay clear of serious injury and suspension, I would say by the end of the season they would certainly be there or thereabouts."
Dundalk will be missing Eoghan Osborne (broken leg), Stephen McDonnell (knee) and Colin Hawkins (hamstring) however Ian Foster welcomes back Ross Gaynor and Jason Byrne who are both fit after recent injuries.

Collaboration Helps the UW School of Medicine Adopt Canvas
A shared commitment to supporting teaching and learning, regular communication, and a love of puzzles helped the UW School of Medicine (SoM) overcome an obstacle in adopting the Canvas learning management system.
A Unique Case
For several years now, the SoM has used Catalyst CommonView and Gradebook to publish their online content for 180-200 courses annually. Although CommonView has been a reliable way for SoM to provide course materials online, the growing use of Canvas at UW led the SoM to start exploring how Canvas could address its needs more comprehensively. This spring, assisted in part by collaboration with the Academic & Collaborative Applications group in UW-IT, the SoM decided to adopt Canvas, and will begin using it August 2014.
Michael Campion, Director of Academic & Learning Technologies at the SoM, notes that the greatest benefit of moving to Canvas is the increase in opportunities to support teaching and learning at the SoM. In addition, Canvas allows automatic provisioning of courses, which reduces the administrative work required to make online course materials available. The SoM's Academic & Learning Technologies (ALT) team currently builds course websites for instructors and supports roughly 60 courses every term.
Although Canvas offered several good reasons for adoption, the LMS also presented multiple challenges for the SoM, whose academic calendar and greater population of remote students differ from the rest of the UW system. Canvas, as implemented at the UW, follows a quarter system; the SoM does not. SoM courses are combined and overlap with courses that are taught in the WWAMI region (Wyoming, Washington, Alaska, Montana, Idaho).
New Canvas Features
Two recent developments in Canvas made adoption easier to envision: 1) The integration of UW Groups in Canvas, and 2) the creation of a one-click method for downloading CommonView content to a format suitable for migrating to Canvas. Using this method, instructors or departmental support staff can migrate rich content, images and links from CommonView to Canvas.
Researching Ways to Move From CommonView
Prior to these developments, Bill Hill and his colleagues on the ALT team–Michael Campion, Jason Reep, Phaedra Allen, and Miriam Williams–had been exploring ways to move content from Catalyst CommonView. The inventory of course content is significant, including material that has been taught and revised in CommonView over five years. Naturally, the team wanted to find an efficient method, one that wouldn't require them to completely rebuild courses or slog through a tedious marathon of copying and pasting.
Having worked at the School of Nursing, where he helped to support the move from the Moodle LMS to Canvas, Bill knew that it was technically possible to import content into Canvas from another LMS. CommonView already had an export function that downloads content into two folders, one with files, one with HTML content. So the question for Bill was, could he work with the HTML content so that it would be recognized as wiki pages and stored as such?
The first step was to export a Canvas course to see what the export would look like, then convert the CommonView output to resemble Canvas output. By his own admission, Bill is not a developer, and says he was lucky that the process required him to work with "only" XML and HTML. He described the trial-and-error process as fun: "It was a lot like working a puzzle."
Collaboration with UW-IT
Around the same time, members of the Academic & Collaborative Applications group in UW-IT began meeting with members of the ALT team to talk about possible migration solutions. Sharing their progress with one another, the teams were able to collaborate to come up with an elegant solution in about two weeks. Jim Laney, a developer in ACA, improved upon Bill's approach by creating a method that generated a unique serial number for each page, and preserved manually created links to files.
Laney's approach essentially automated all the hands-on work that Bill had been doing, and gave users a one-click process to export content from CommonView. Bill adds, "Jim's method halves the time for migrating each course. It's more streamlined – you're not handling files as much, or copying and pasting – which reduces the opportunity for introducing human error." Campion said ACA's support through the process was "truly impressive."

Motor Racing is a very dangerous game that not only puts the racers in an adrenaline thumping period but also pulls to the audience into the edge of their seats. Photographing these events is a completely different experience all together. It is a great challenge to do this kind of sports photography for a number of reasons and one of the most prominent being that it is very fast and quick. So before you even get to frame the image right they zoom past you.
Here are some awesome photography tips that you need to remember the next time you visit a motor race with your DSLR or a simple point and shoot.
1. Set Your Shutter Speed Low
The only way you can free a fast moving object in space is by decreasing your shutter speed. This will create a magnificent effect where your subject is stopped in a fraction of seconds, its details are minute, while the background is in a state of blur. This effect creates an illusion of motion for your moving object.
However, on doing so, your image might face a hand jerk. So for photography like this, where you need to lower your shutter speed, it is always recommended that you use a tripod. Also, adjust your lighting by changing your ISO because bringing a change in your shutter speed drastically changes your lighting.
2. Pan Your Photos
Another excellent method to capture motion is if you pan your camera with the moving object. However, this is extremely tough to perfect in one or two tries ad needs a whole lot of practice. The trick is to pan in the same pace as that of the moving object so that the details in the object are sharp but the background becomes blurred giving an illusion of motion. For this, you need to pre focus on an area prior to the subject crossing it and choosing a shutter speed of about 1/200th of a second.
3. Use a Wide Angle Lens
Photography like this is always better when you do it with a wide angle lens of 28 mm or less that captures the entire track as well as the stadium. On doing so, the picture you shoot has a lot more to say than you just clicking one of the racers. It captures the enthusiasm of the fans as well and brings a non-linearity to the photograph. A great place to shoot is when the race is about to begin.
4. Stay alert for Emergencies
Motor racing events can call for emergencies at any time, thus try not to run out of the way and stay guarded by some pole or barrier nearby. While photographing, it's essential to see through the eyepiece, but keep an overview of the entire track to get the sudden and 'best' shot.
