Tarean Folston Needs To Be The Featured Back At This Point
One of the few concerns the first weeks of this season was the Irish running game. Maybe the appropriate term is lack of running game. Coach Kelly used a three man rotation with Tarean Folston, Cam McDaniel, and Greg Bryant. The problem is that would never allow for one guy to get into a rhythm. I understand that Notre Dame has three talented backs and wanting to use them all, but here's the problem. We all agree that Malik Zaire is a talented young quarterback, but does that mean we will rotate him with Everett Golson? Of course not. Zaire can play in blow outs and will have a chance one day.
That is exactly how the running back situation should be handled as well. Folston has really done so much better these past two games when he was given a bulk of the carries. For the season he has 383 yards with 2 touchdowns. That may not seem like a lot but more than 200 of those yards came in the last 2 games. That gets back to the point of letting one guy get into a rhythm. He also showed in the North Carolina game his ability in receiving game as well. He caught 5 for 71 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Bryant and McDaniel don't even have as many yards rushing as Golson. I am not saying we just kick them to the curb. They both can have valuable roles. McDaniel can be the bruising short yardage and goal line back. That is a very important role. Bryant can be brought in every now and then to spell Folston and be the change of pace.
So Bryant and McDaniel both have their places on this team, but the key to really getting the running game going is with Folston getting most of the carries.

At a preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing employee Justin Doe at a Centennial business, prosecutors laid out evidence pointing to Nicholas Locascio — possibly high on methamphetamine and later caught at a 24 Hour Fitness — although the motive remained unclear.Security-camera footage shows Locascio, 29, in the parking lot at Quality Electric Distribution at 7000 S. Jordan Road at the time of the March shooting and fleeing on foot after it, according to an investigator's testimony. Locascio's DNA was identified on a cigarette butt found underneath the body of 32-year-old Doe, which lay in that parking lot next to a splattering of blood on a brick wall. He was shot once in the head.The preliminary hearing to determine whether Locascio would be brought to trial for first-degree murder and possession of a controlled substance did not yet conclude despite running for nearly seven hours on Sept. 7 at the Arapahoe County District Court.In a preliminary hearing, a judge decides whether there is enough evidence to take the case to trial — it doesn't decide whether a suspect is guilty.Doe's manager at QED didn't hear what happened outside between Locascio and Doe the morning of March 22, but when he heard a gunshot, he came out the back door and saw Doe lying on the ground, he told the court.The manager, Nathan VanDusseldorp, said Doe went out a door on the side of the building, possibly to get something from his car. He opened his car door and appeared to lean into the vehicle a few minutes after 10:30 a.m. Doe stepped back in briefly and asked if they had a customer, and the manager said there were none there. VanDusseldorp said he then opened the door for a few seconds and saw a man facing Doe, less than a car-length apart."I just remember him looking kind of like a drugged-out guy," VanDusseldorp said. "He did not look good."Doe said something like, "Don't worry about it; go inside" and was nonchalant, VanDusseldorp said.The manager went back inside, and then he heard the gunshot, he said. VanDusseldorp said no one could hear what may have transpired between Locascio and Doe because the building walls are brick.Deputy Brett Robson with the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said he believed Doe to be deceased when he arrived on scene after the shooting, which happened about 10:45 a.m.He had "severe head trauma, lot of blood loss ...," Robson said.Surveillance video from StorQuest Self Storage, one parking lot over from QED, caught who authorities said is Locascio on camera standing between cars and the building wall in the QED lot. He reached into the bed of a truck near Doe's car and then walked behind Doe's car, out of view of the camera, before Doe appeared to reach into it. Doe's blood trails down the pavement in the video, and Locascio is seen fleeing on foot, said Kristin McCauley, investigator with the sheriff's office.After the shooting, Aurora police arrested Locascio about 1 p.m. at the 24 Hour Fitness at 15900 E. Briarwood Circle, just about a mile away from QED, after employees at that business made an unrelated call to police about a man acting suspicious during a gym tour.Locascio was carrying a black pouch with methamphetamine, a scale, a glass pipe with white residue, cigarettes and nine syringes, Deputy Brian Robinson with the sheriff's office said. A jail inmate later said Locascio was "shooting up" meth three to five times per day over a period of about seven months.Locascio's defense implied that his alleged shooting of Doe was most likely due to a random act influenced by drug use.Aurora police and McCauley described Locascio as hot, sweating profusely and more anxious than a person detained by police usually would be. McCauley said Locascio had trouble keeping his eyes open, asked for water, didn't know what day it was and kept saying he wasn't on drugs."He said he didn't know where he was or what area he was in," McCauley said.Police did not see any blood on Locascio's clothes, face, hands or body and have not found the weapon used to shoot Doe, even after a search of open space and businesses in the area where Locascio went. A sawed-off shotgun was found in Locascio's car, but it was unrelated to the shooting, according to authorities.The bullet that killed Doe was most likely from a .38-caliber revolver, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation told police Sept. 6.Police also found a white T-shirt folded underneath a seat in the car similar to what the man in the StorQuest video wore — Locascio was wearing a hoodie when arrested. His tattoo, glasses and bandana matched a witness account of the man running from the crime scene. The white shirt and his bandana did not have blood on them, his defense attorney said.But in addition to Locascio's DNA being located on a cigarette butt found underneath Doe's body, a bloodhound used by investigators tracked Locascio's scent at QED, at 24 Hour Fitness and a winding trail of places in between.According to a jail inmate who talked to Locascio, he said the suspect talked about going into the 24 Hour Fitness to leave a gun in the "laundry chute or something like that," McCauley said.Four people who said they met Locascio in jail said he admitted to the shooting, according to McCauley.Locascio told police he had stopped in the area to put transmission fluid in his car, and an empty transmission fluid bottle was found at a parking space where he dropped some items. He parked at 6920 S. Jordan Road a little after 10 a.m., McCauley said. He planned to drive to Illinois, his father told investigators.Locascio's defense questioned McCauley about a few possible reasons for the shooting. A second inmate said Locascio said he shot Doe over his ex-girlfriend having an affair with him, but McCauley said police couldn't find evidence that she was located in Colorado. Locascio's last address was in Colorado Springs.The previous inmate spoke of a "meth-induced insanity" Locascio was under and said he believed the shooting was random and that he didn't think Locascio knew he was doing it because he was so high, the defense said.Police believe that in the QED parking lot right before the shooting, Doe may have taken a plastic bag of marijuana from his own car because the top part of the bag was found next to his body as if it were ripped off. Co-worker Thomas Tallick said he knew Doe to use marijuana, but McCauley acknowledged there isn't evidence suggesting a drug deal other than a third inmate's account who spoke to Locascio.Phone records showed no correspondence between Doe and Locascio. Police have not "determined any association" between them, McCauley said.The defense generally argued that the alleged shooting by Locascio was most likely influenced by drug use. McCauley, in response to the prosecution's questions, said Locascio was able to understand her questions and respond to them when she spoke to him shortly after the arrest, that he didn't seem to be hallucinating and that he appeared to make intentional movements and statements. She also said it was possible Locascio could have taken drugs after his alleged shooting.The hearing will continue when the defense brings the four jail inmates who said they talked to Locascio to testify at 2 p.m. Nov. 17.

It remained unclear, however, whether any on-demand service would take "The Interview." According to people briefed on the matter, Sony had in recent days asked the White House for help in lining up a single technology partner — Apple, which operates iTunes — but the tech company was not interested, at least not on a speedy time table. An Apple spokesman declined to comment.
"The Interview" has become a highly-anticipated film after it was cancelled by Sony Pictures. Hackers (presumably with ties to North Korea) breached Sony's internal systems and leaked terabytes of data. Additionally, the hackers threatened any theater that participated in the movie's release, which was slated for December 25 -- Christmas Day; however, Sony changed its plans and is now releasing the film in online, through its website, and some theaters.
The movie depicts two journalists (James Franco and Seth Rogen) that travel to North Korea to assassinate Kim Jong-un.

We did it! We beat the Big Ben led Steelers at home to take control of our own destiny. That has to feel really good to this group, who has struggled for much of the season. An uncharacteristically bad October turned into a successful November, which the Ravens escaped with their fate in their own hands. We now have sole possession of the sixth playoff spot in the AFC, if only until Sunday, it still feels good.
The first three quarters might have been the best I've seen the Ravens play this year. Yes there were some negatives, but the defense was dominant, the offense moved the ball, and we built a nice lead. It would have been nice to see some of those drives that ended in three end in seven, but we can't say we're not used to that here in Baltimore. We know at the end of the day field goals will translate into a great chance to win the game due to our dominant defense. It's a mind-set that Baltimore fans have adapted to over the years.
It's not surprising that the offense has started to click a little more because we've been throwing the deep ball with success. That's what this offense has to do to be successful. It's working guys, we need more and more shots to Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones, two or three a quarter in my mind. When you look at our offense from the outside, what defenses have to gear up to stop is the deep ball. Make them do it, both of our outside receivers are very good at not only hauling in the deep balls, but also drawing long pass interference calls. Just like in baseball a walk is as good as a hit, same goes here. A long pass interference call is just as good as a long completion. So much of our offense has opened up now that teams are forced to respect the deep ball again.
One thing that has to stop is the mental mistakes. The Ravens had four false start penalties at home, that is not gonna fly against playoff caliber teams. The Ravens also need to learn how to close out games. As good as the defense has been this year, they have been completely unreliable at the end of games. It took a dropped pass by Emnanual Sanders to end this game, otherwise we would have seen overtime. Another thing I've been noticing over the past month is that Terrell Suggs, as good as he is, takes some plays off. I wish he would take himself out more often and let a fresh Pernell McPhee or Courtney Upshaw take a crack at a pass rush.
For the first time this year, I really feel optimistic about our chances moving forward. The offense seems to take baby steps forward every week, and at this pace we might actually be able to get a good lead on somebody and put them away. (As opposed to the adoptive formula of this Ravens team, of getting a lead, letting it evaporate, and causing heart failure to a huge percentage of their fan base as they let the game come down to a final drive.)
I'm not gonna touch on much about Mike Tomlin. He knew what he was doing, and honestly what he did worked. He'll probably catch a much deserved fine for it, but at the end of the day he prevented a touchdown for his team. A loyal reader to the site, wrestling Coach Scott said, "I've coached sports for thirty years, and that was the biggest bush-league move I have ever seen!" Coach Scott, I think you stated it perfectly.
And for God's sake can we please take care of business next Sunday while at home against the Vikings! Please, can we not play down to our competition? We need to get on Minny early and pound them, don't give them a reason to stick around in the game. This is a classic trap game, last game of a three game home stand where you have already registered two big wins. With a tough Monday night matchup the following week, the Ravens cannot overlook the Vikings. Stay focused guys ,and get us our first winning record since early October.

I know you probably get tired of hearing this, but I am constantly amazed at how quickly time flies! I had the opportunity to hold an 8 day old several days ago, and I was amazed at how tiny it was. I really cannot remember him being that small, even though he was.
The transition from month 2 to month 3 has brought so many fun, new things! Henry is really discovering his mouth. He can smile, laugh, and is constantly cooing and babbling. He is almost constantly moving his mouth in some way, whether he is sucking on his bottom lip, sucking on his hand, or sticking out his tongue. About 1 week ago, he transitioned from sucking on his whole fist to just sucking on his thumb. We haven't really encouraged the use of a pacifier, since he doesn't really like it, but he has really taken to his thumb. He has really figured out how to self-soothe with his thumb, which has led to better nap times and longer sleep at night, which I can't argue with. He is also so much more interactive. He definitely knows his Mommy and Daddy! He will let anyone hold him, but he will look for us across a room. He also has gained better control of his body. He can hold his head up when he is on his tummy, and can sit with very little assistance. He can put most of his weight on his legs when standing, as long as we are holding him, of course.
|Such a handsome little man.
We had a very busy weekend, and Henry was a trooper. Our church has a program called Big Night Out, where they offer childcare and encourage young married couples to go out for a date night. We were happy to take advantage of this service, and were so excited to get to go out to dinner with some friends and enjoy adult conversation without having to constantly check on the baby...very liberating :)
Saturday morning, we had our first follow up missions event from our Houston 1:8 site this summer. I never got around to writing a post about Houston 1:8, since Henry came one short week later. Houston 1:8 is a mission trip of sorts that our church sponsors. There are around 15 different sites around the city. The idea is for people to volunteer after work for the week and get involved in the community. JP and I have coordinated a site for the past 3 years. We have actually had 3 different sites in 3 years, but this past year we served at a site called Sunblossom Mountain apartments. The majority of the people residing in this apartment complex are international refugees, mostly coming from central/East Asia. This is such a unique opportunity to reach internationals since they are literally in our backyard. We had a VBS program of sorts for the young kids, and separate programs for the teenage boys and girls. We also were able to reach a small group of women through arts and crafts. We had an evangelism and prayer team that walked around the complex and tried to engage other adults in conversations about their various religious backgrounds and speak to them about Jesus. This is one of my favorite things about our church, which is why we pour so much of our time into this event. This is also why we decided to go ahead and continue coordinating the event even though we knew I would be 37 weeks pregnant. The Lord provides, what can I say?
|Our team
To make a very long story short, due to the success of the event, we felt like there was an amazing opportunity to set up ongoing ministry at this complex. We had our first event this past Saturday, where we joined forces with the apartment and Houston Police Department to speak out against domestic abuse and provide food and community for the residents. Again, the event was a huge success and opened doors for us to continue our ministry there. It was also Henry's first official "mission trip" since being out of the womb.
|Some of the kids waiting for food
Saturday night we had some friends over to watch the Bears dominate in football! They ended up winning 71-7 and are now #5 in the Coach's Poll and #6 in the AP poll. Sic 'em Bears!
Sunday morning we got up and went to church, then had lunch with some friends and their 1 year old, Annabelle. Although she is a little older, maybe when he grows a little we can fix a little arranged marriage between them...whaddya say Liz?
|Henry wore this little number to church to commemorate the Bears' victory
Sunday evening, we went to the park for Henry's 3 month pictures. We got some good family shots as well that you will probably see in our Christmas card. Henry was such a trooper! He was very tired, and his schedule was a little off, but we managed to get some smiles from him :) So excited to see how they turn out!
|So cute and matching...not planned at all :)

($50 fine will be charged if you miss this)
7:30PM Court 1: Starz | Court 2: Matadors
8:30PM Court 1: Vel'koz | Court 2: DSU
9:30PM Court 1: USW Sealers | Court 2: Swaggy Crew
These teams must provide 1 person for one game to maintain the scoreboard. Please arrive on time otherwise, you have to pay a $50 fine. Especially for games on court 2, there may be a need of one more person in order to operate the 24-second shot clock. For the smooth running of the game, we strongly recommend that team Matadors, DSU and Swaggy Crew bring one more person for that. That would be a great help to us. Thanks!

As any gardener or urban homesteader will realize after a few years a greenhouse is becoming more and more of an essential. While walking thru the Lowes this afternoon I saw this model for $199. I could prob make a few adjustments to it to solidify its useage here at the stead. But I will be contemplating it.
This is the type that I would like to have eventually . Stone on one side for solar reactivity and glass or poly for the other 3 sides for light. I would prob also want a desk, table and a small potbelly stove for heat.. But I can dream and eventually create the ideal.

Filming in Scotland
BBC's medical thriller, Trust Me, filmed in Glasgow and Edinburgh
Jodie Whittaker adds: "I was born and brought up in Edinburgh and went to drama school in Glasgow so I feel a real connection every time I come home. It was nice to see my family and friends in between shooting days. We even shot a scene on Portobello beach in Edinburgh which is literally where I grew up! Edinburgh is a beautiful city that's steeped in history. It's about time it got some more screen time. There's a volcano in the heart of the city, a castle, ancient architecture and rolling hills, so it really is a city that deserves to be seen on screen more."
Trust Me tells the story of nurse Cath Hardacre who, in a moment of desperation after being fired, assumes the identity of one of her close friends to accept a job at a hospital in Edinburgh.
The show's locations team was comprised of James Muirhead (Paranoid) and Amy Palin-Tune (This is England '90).
High-end television production in the UK is incentivised by a 25% tax rebate on filming. A minimum spend of GBP1 million per-broadcast hour is required to access the incentive, which has been awarded to such recent projects as Poldark and Fearless. Additional funding can be obtained via Scotland's GBP3.25 million Production Growth Fund.
Creative Scotland will once again be bringing a contingent of Scottish film organisations to the next edition of FOCUS on 5/6 December 2017. Registration opens in early September and is FREE for industry professionals.

Popped over from FJI. It looks great, but are you sure it's not a dough bowl?

I agree with the other posts that this is probably a dough bowl. I have one that was handed down in my family. My great-grandfather carved it for his bride in the 1860's. My mom told me she can remember watching her grandmother make bread dough in it then leaving it to rise. It's a huge bowl so she must have made a lot of bread!
It's such a treasure. I decorate mine for the seasons.

Love how you displayed it,though dear it is a dough trough or also known as a trencher. They still hand carve these in Mexico and are rare finds from Europe. We have one at church we use to serve breads / dinner rolls in at Sunday dinners.

you like complements your physique. put on it and look at your do it yourself within of the mirror. actually should you are tall as well as your guitar neck is slender, a choker or perhaps a collar necklace created of handmade beads is most significant for you. you'll be able to also obtain a prolonged one which could possibly be around eighteen inches in length. within of another hand, in the event that your guitar neck is short, its most significant actually should you can obtain a necklace that could possibly be about twenty-three inches long.

The Rhode Island Primary Care Physicians Corp. has selected Seniorlink Inc.'s Vela technology to launch a health-care collaboration platform that will allow patients and family caregivers to connect online with health-care providers.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The Rhode Island Primary Care Physicians Corp., an independent practice association, announced Wednesday that it has selected Seniorlink Inc.'s Vela technology to launch a health-care collaboration platform that will allow patients and family caregivers to connect online with health-care providers.
The RIPCPC represents 150 primary-care physicians and more than 200 specialty-care member physicians. The group's primary-care physicians provide care for more than 150,000 Rhode Islanders.
"Vela will connect care providers such as nurse care managers, care coordinators, patient advocates and pharmacies directly with patients and family caregivers to provide coaching, insights and support, helping family caregivers coordinate and deliver care with confidence," the RIPCPC said in an announcement.
"Vela is designed to replace outdated and fragmented care coordination methods, such as telephone calls and SMS messages, with a single, centralized, HIPAA-secure communication platform for enhanced collaboration, increased efficiency, and improved patient outcomes."
The association said it "will initially target approximately 500 patients in a pilot program that will run for six months and will measure outcomes including patient satisfaction, improved communication amongst care professionals and with patients, reconciliation of medications, reduction in emergency department use, and organization of and access to advance directives. Family caregivers and patients will opt-in to participate in the pilot."
"Our mission is to provide cost-effective, high-quality care, and with a novel platform like Vela, we will be able to improve our ability to reach, engage and support our patients and family caregivers," said Noah Benedict, chief operating officer of RIPCPC. "From clinical to financial questions, technology innovations like Vela are essential to making it easier for all members of a care management program to engage in a meaningful way."

8 Summary
What Is the Flex AJAX Bridge?
by Ely Greenfield
The Flex™ AJAX Bridge (FABridge) is a small, unobtrusive code library that you can insert into an Adobe® Flex™ application, a Flex component, or even an empty SWF file to expose it to scripting in the browser.
To humbly borrow a page from the Ruby on Rails community, FABridge is built with the "don't repeat yourself" principle in mind. Rather than having to define new, simplified APIs to expose a graph of ActionScript objects to JavaScript, with FABridge you can make your ActionScript classes available to JavaScript without any additional coding. After you insert the library, essentially anything you can do with ActionScript, you can do with JavaScript.
Adobe® Flash® Player has the native ability, through the External API (the ExternalInterface class), to call JavaScript from ActionScript, and vice versa. But ExternalInterface has some limitations:
The ExternalInterface class also limits what you can pass across the gap – primitive types, arrays, and simple objects are legal, but user-defined classes, with associated properties and methods, are off-limits.
View a sample application that makes use of the Flex AJAX Bridge.
Note: You must install Flash Player 9 to view the sample application.
When Should I Use the Flex AJAX Bridge?
The FABridge library is useful in the following situations:
You have only one or two people on your team who know Flex. Although I would strongly encourage everyone to grab a copy of Flex and try it out (you will love it, I promise!), the FABridge library lets everyone on your team use the work produced by one or two Flex specialists.
You are building an integrated rich Internet application (RIA) with both Flex and AJAX portions. While you could build the integration yourself using ExternalInterface, you might find it faster to start with the FABridge as a head start.
What Do I Need to Use It?
To use the FABridge library and samples, you must have the following:
FABridge, which is available within the Flex 3 SDK beta (see below)
Flash Player 9
Any HTTP server to run the samples
Download and Installation
To run the sample files, follow these steps:
Download Flex 3 SDK beta or daily builds (46-67 MB).
Note: Your use of this site including software downloads, submission of comments, ideas, feature requests and techniques on this and other Adobe maintained forums, as well as Adobe's rights to use such materials, is governed by the Terms of Use.
Unpack the ZIP file to a local directory.
Browse to the FABridge framework files found within /frameworks/javascript/fabridge
Place the src and samples folders side by side on any HTTP server.
Open a web browser to
Make sure you access the samples through http:// URLs and not file:// URLs. The Flash Player security sandbox may prevent them from working correctly if accessed as local files.
How Do I Use the Flex AJAX Bridge?
To use the FABridge library in your own Flex and AJAX applications, follow these steps:
Add the src folder from the ZIP file to the ActionScript classpath of your Flex application.
If you are compiling from the command line, you can add the src folder to your application by specifying it using the --actionscript-classpath compiler option.
If you are using Flex Builder (optionally get the Flex Builder 3 beta), right-click your application in the Navigator window and select Properties.
Select the Flex Build Path section.
Add the src folder to the class path section. Click OK.
Add the following tag to your application file:

Gayle King's favorite color is yellow. Just like the sun, she is bright, full of energy, powerful and despite her self-proclaimed dating drought, she is considered HOT by many men (even a young, chart-topping rapper whose name I shall not divulge). The world has been so blinded and captivated by the brilliance of Gayle's BFF, Oprah Winfrey, that many people failed to fully appreciate the penetrating light emanating from Ms. Gayle King.
For over three decades, King has been "burning it up" in the world of news and entertainment. For 18 years she was an anchor for WFSB in Hartford, Connecticut where she won three Emmy statues. In the late '90s, she hosted her own talk show on the Oxygen network. Gayle is most widely recognized as a special corespondent for the Oprah Winfrey Show for over 25 years. Recently, she hosted a very successful radio show on XM Satellite Radio, while simultaneously hosting The Gayle King Show on the OWN network. Currently, King is the editor-in-chief of O, the Oprah Magazine, a position she's held since 1999. In 2008, Gayle won the American Women in Radio & Television Gracie Award for Outstanding Radio Talk Show and in 2010 the Individual Achievement Award for Host -- Entertainment/Information. She is also a 2010 New York Women in Communications' Matrix Award recipient. Gayle has always been brilliant in her own right and shines far to brightly to have ever been in anyone's shadow. In her latest role she has the opportunity to enlighten and brighten the morning of millions of viewers as a co-host of the newly formatted CBS This Morning.
"TV is in my DNA," King said and on January 9, 2012 an excited and buoyant, Gayle King anchored herself to the sinking CBS This Morning ship. Gayle will join television icon, Charlie Rose and sole CBS holdover, Erica Hill, as a co-host on CBS This Morning. The always optimistic and confident King believes that her experience as a journalist, her extremely varied interests and ability to tell a story will help CBS This Morning become "relevant and competitive." CBS has trailed NBC's The Today Show and ABC's Good Morning America for years. In fact, the last time CBS ruled the early morning hours was when Captain Kangaroo was on the air. King states, "The show has nowhere to go but up." And up, about 5%, the numbers have gone since week one. However, it's not only the ratings increase that has King encouraged: she's inspired by the "amazing buzz" permeating the walls at CBS and the feedback she is receiving from the crew is wonderfully insightful. "The opinion of the crew really matters to me. They have seen the different sets and different anchors, so they know what works," said King. Even Gayle's competitors and friends, Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos and Morning Joe, have sent her congratulatory wishes and words of encouragement. "Everyone on the team knows this is a huge opportunity and everyone wants to shine. We all feel good about the first week but there is more work to do and we can do better and be better. It's exciting that everyone is on the same page," said King.
She has now completed two full weeks and the nervous jitters that were slightly apparent on day one are a distant memory. The pressures of starting off with a bang have dissipated mostly because of the positive reviews from the media, support from friends and the "rah-rah" champagne toast from CBS chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves (Gayle doesn't drink alcohol so she was given sparkling water). Where some foolishly pontificate that Gayle was gifted this coveted position because of her best friend status with the almighty Oprah Winfrey, it seems more plausible that Gayle has been denied on-air opportunities, for which she was obviously qualified, because of the intimidating aura of her BFF relationship. In fact, every time a network, on-air position opened on The Today Show, Good Morning America, 20/20, The View or The Talk, Gayle King's name was always rumored to be on the short list for very good reasons. King's television experience, merit awards, successful track record, and Rolodex of potential guests has earned her the seat she now holds at CBS. However, Gayle credits CBS vice president of programming, Chris Licht (former creator and executive producer of MSNBC's Morning Joe), as the reason she now sits at the glass round table at CBS Studio 57 every morning, Monday through Fridays. Gayle appeared on the Morning Joe program numerous times and Licht believed that King could offer just what CBS wanted and needed. "CBS wants intelligence -- I'm intelligent. CBS wants story tellers -- I can tell a story," stated King as we discussed why she believes she is a perfect fit for CBS This Morning.
AT 57, King is now busier than ever. She no longer hosts her radio or talk show, however, her resting hours have decreased considerably since joining CBS. "I have to make changes because of my new schedule," King said. As I was speaking with Gayle, she was looking at a picture of the first graduating class from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. Gayle could not attend the graduation because of her new job commitments. She said, "I'm sad because I can't be there. I was there when we broke ground, I helped select some of the girls, I was there when the school was a dream, merely thoughts on Oprah's paper, so it makes me sad to miss the graduation of the first class." But without missing a beat she continued, "But trust me, I'm not bitching about anything, I am very blessed and happy to have this new job."
King's day is packed with activity from the moment she opens her eyes. In the past, she went to bed no earlier than midnight. She woke up around 5:00 a.m. to comb through local and national newspapers before she hit her treadmill for a morning workout. "Now, I'm up between 4:30 and 4:45 because I still try to bathe each morning (sarcastically spoken), I'm in the car and I have to be camera ready by 6:30," she continued. King hosts the morning show and attends show related meetings, then at around 11:00 a.m., she heads to the offices for her other "gig", editor-in-chief of O Magazine. King has always been a fixture at high-profile events in New York, Washington, Chicago and Los Angeles. The social butterfly, must now attend less soirees, premieres and A-list galas because her new bedtime is closer to 10:00 p.m. Nevertheless, King said, "This position came at the perfect time in my life." She has greater flexibility because children are adults. Her son, whom she calls, "favorite son Will" and her "favorite daughter Kirby" are working in Shanghai and Washington D.C. respectively. Gayle is a proud, doting mother who attends Jay-Z and Eminem concerts with her children and sings every word to every song much louder than they do. She has recently settled "favorite daughter" Kirby into a new luxury condo in Washington D.C., and her next parental goal is to take the 14-hour flight to Shanghai to visit "favorite son" Will.
After the love for her children, King loves the news. According to King, she has always been a "news junkie" and strongly believes that there are millions of "news junkies" who are going to gravitate to the "news focus" format of CBS This Morning. Unlike their competitors at NBC and ABC, CBS This Morning will not have national weather updates, cooking segments and fashion shows. "CBS said, let's do something different," said King, and so far, they stayed true to their plan. Charlie Rose who drives the first hour is an iconic journalist "who nobody can compete with when it comes to interviewing," said King. The first hour is where the hard news is broadcast. King drives the second hour where topics range from pop culture and celebrity interviews to trending news topics. One of Gayle's greatest attributes is her ability to transition seamlessly from hard news to softer, entertainment driven topics -- a skill-set not yet mastered by Rose or Hill. Erica Hill, a CBS veteran, who King said is "very smart, very quick and likes to play," is the supporting host in both hours. In watching the first two weeks, there is a very strong connection between the two heavy hitters; King and Rose. King said, "You can't plan chemistry. You either have it, or you don't." In my opinion, the jury is still out regarding Erica's ability to gel with the powerful new comers, but her talent as a journalist is apparent.
Gayle acknowledges that she has been out of the hard news game for quite a few years but she thinks it's just like riding a bike -- you just get back on, and do what you've been trained to do. Over the years, with the growth of the internet and social media, there have been vast changes in how people get their news and how news outlets share the news. Now, news spreads worldwide almost instantly. Nevertheless, as a journalist, King believes "news is news." During her first week at CBS, when she was preparing for the exclusive, "feather in her cap" interview with First Lady Michelle Obama, she said her preparation was the same as it has always been. King said, "in news, you have to be accurate, fair, prepared and thorough." Despite the obvious differences between her last on-air "gig" and her new post, King claims that her primary objective is to stay "true to myself, true to CBS and true to the news because CBS has high standards." In true King fashion, she doesn't plan on changing her very colorful, highly accessorized style of dressing to fit into the conservative news persona. I asked Gayle is she was going to curtail her ofttimes strong, outspoken, passionate and sometime bias opinions, as shared on the Gayle King Show, because main stream news outlets are patently objective. She paused, laughed and said, "I hadn't thought about that. I guess I should ask someone that question." When pressed about her ambitions and next big step -- maybe CBS prime time interviews or contributing to CBS Evening News -- she answered in classic, self-deprecating Gayle King style, "My next big step is walking to the CBS set at Studio 57 and getting back to work."
Gayle King represents a new type of news journalist -- image and style conscious; quirky yet smart; witty and charismatic; loose and flexible -- qualities that might have delayed her landing a network news position sooner, but qualities she is not going to change. Kings said with a hearty laugh, "They brought me here be myself. They knew what they were getting when they hired me." CBS has hired the new queen of morning talk and it's "KING": Gayle King!
CBS This Morning runs Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET

Three Scripps Research Scientists Elected to National Academy of Sciences
Three members of The Scripps Research Institute faculty were elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences April 29. Scripps Research is the only independent research institution in the nation to have three faculty members chosen this year.
The newly elected members are Bruce Beutler, Michael B.A. Oldstone, and Peter Wright. With this election, the number of National Academy of Sciences members currently working at Scripps Research stands at 19.
Created in 1863, the National Academy of Sciences is a society of world-renowned scholars in scientific and engineering research. Election to the academy is considered one of the highest honors that can be accorded a scientist or engineer.
"It's both a great honor for Scripps Research and an indicator of the unique quality of the institute's science that an organization of our size should have three faculty members elected to the nation's most prestigious scientific society in the same year," said Scripps Research President Richard A. Lerner. "On behalf of our Board of Trustees, the faculty, and everyone at Scripps Research, I congratulate Bruce, Mike, and Peter."
Bruce Beutler is the second in his family to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences. He joins his father, Ernest Beutler, chair of the Scripps Research Department of Molecular and Experimental Medicine and a member of The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology, who was elected to the academy in 1976.
The National Academy of Sciences has approximately 2,100 members and 380 foreign associates; nearly 200 are Nobel laureates. Although many names are suggested informally, formal nominations can be submitted only by an academy member. Nomination materials and candidate lists are confidential. The nomination and evaluation process occurs throughout the year, culminating in a final ballot at the academy's annual meeting in April.
Bruce Beutler, M.D., is chair of the Department of Genetics at Scripps Research. His research focuses on the search for genes that are required for normal immune function using the techniques of germline mutagenesis and positional cloning. In terms of output, the mutagenesis effort now underway in the Beutler laboratory is the largest in the world, and the only one primarily devoted to deciphering innate immunity. The long-range goal of the laboratory is to identify the key genes required for resistance to infection and to determine how they interact with one another.
Bruce Beutler received his M.D. in 1981 from the University of Chicago. He received the 2007 Balzan Prize from the International Balzan Foundation; the 2006 Gran Prix Charles-Leopold-Mayer from the Académie des Sciences, France; and the 2006 William B. Coley Award from the Cancer Research Institute; and the 2004 Robert Koch Prize from the Robert Koch Foundation. Beutler, who joined The Scripps Research Institute in 2000, is also a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians.
Michael B.A. Oldstone, M.D., is a professor in the Scripps Research Department of Immunology and Microbial Science where he heads a laboratory of viral-immunobiology, and is an adjunct professor in the Scripps Florida Department of Infectology. His laboratory studies the nature and consequences of virus-host interactions. His studies focus primarily on negative-stranded RNA viruses, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), and measles virus, as well as infectious folding protein disease (prions). Oldstone changed the once-accepted dogma that virus that persists in the body causes tolerance of the immune system, showing that both persistent LCMV and retroviruses elicit humoral B cell responses that lead to immune complex formation and disease of the kidney and blood vessels; he also extended these findings to human infections. Oldstone defined both LCMV and measles virus infection of lymphocytes and dendritic cells leading to suppression of the immune system, findings also extended to human infections. He recently described a host immunosuppressive molecule induced by an infecting virus that leads to suppression of immune T cells; blockade of the molecule with antibody leads to resurrection of immune function and removal of the virus.
Oldstone, who joined Scripps Research in 1966, received his medical degree in 1961 from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and completed his Ph.D. as part of the M.D./PhD program at the Johns Hopkins McCullom Pratt Institute of Biochemistry. He has received numerous awards for his scientific work including the J. Allyn Taylor International Prize in Medicine for studies on virus-host interactions, the Karolinska Institute Biomedical Science Award for contributions in autoimmunity and the concept of molecular mimicry, the Abraham Flexner Award for Contributions in Biomedical Research, and the Rous-Whipple Award for Excellence in Investigative Pathology. He has been elected to the American Association of Physicians, the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Scandinavian Society for Immunology, the American Academy of Microbiology, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine, Basic Science Section.
Peter Wright, Ph.D., is chair of the Department of Molecular Biology, Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Investigator in Medical Research, and member of the Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology at Scripps Research. His laboratory has helped pioneer the use of high-resolution, multi-dimensional, hetero-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study protein dynamics, folding, and recognition, particularly the structures of protein-DNA and protein-protein complexes involved in the regulation of DNA-RNA transcription. These studies have provided new insights into the fundamental mechanisms of protein folding, which is closely linked to proper protein function. In addition, his use of multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful method for characterizing the structure and dynamics of unfolded protein states and protein folding intermediates.
Wright, who joined Scripps Research in 1984, received his Ph.D. from the University in Auckland in 1972 and completed his postdoctoral studies at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. He is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Molecular Biology and was the recipient of a National Institutes of Health Merit Award, 1994 -2001. He received an Honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Sydney in 2003. Wright was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1995 and named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1998.
Other National Academy of Science members currently at The Scripps Research Institute are Ernest Beutler, Floyd Bloom, Francis Chisari, Gerald Edelman, Albert Eschenmoser, Gerald Joyce, Richard Lerner, K.C. Nicolaou, Julius Rebek, Paul Schimmel, Peter Schultz, K. Barry Sharpless, Peter Vogt, Charles Weissmann, Chi-Huey Wong, and Kurt Wuthrich.

Call Off The Search
I need to make a note to myself to call the Missing Laptop Bureau and tell them to call off the search for my missing computer. Its back. In November 2004 I bought a Toshiba P25 laptop computer for about $1600. Like many of the gadgets I buy from time to time, I wasn't sure I really had a use for it. I operate on the theory that things usually have unintended uses so I figured I would see the benefits in time. I had a desktop that was only 2 years-old then, but as I posted a couple of days ago, I like a good gadget. I also bought the $250 extended warranty from the seller, Circuit City. Since I bought the laptop, I have had to send it in 4 times for repair. The most recent time was May 16th. It was gone a month. I missed it so, because I was forced to sit at my desk and use my old Compaq 5000. Will the horrors ever stop? My good friends at Circuit City assured me that if the laptop was in three times for repair they would replace it with a new one. They lied. It seems that they meant three times for the same problem. But I have to say that it seems work now. Perhaps the next breakdown will convince them to replace it. I dropped it off at the store for this latest problem on 5/16/2006. The clerk made out a ticket and gave me a copy and an 800-number to call if I wanted to check on the progress of the repairs. The ticket said they were sending it to a repair vendor Illinois. On 6/1/2006 I called the number and was informed that they didn't have my computer. I called Circuit City back and the clerk who answered asked me why I called that number. BECAUSE IT IS ON THE PAPER YOU GAVE ME! Or perhaps I just randomly dialed 800-numbers until I reached a computer repair joint. One or the other. I was given another 800-number and it turned out that they had the computer and were waiting for parts. The guy said they just received it on 5/31/2006. God knows where it was for two weeks. Anyway, today the UPS man brought it back and I have to say the fine folks at Micro Medics, of Vernon Hills, Il. did a great job. I normally wouldn't buy an extended warranty, but a laptop is a disaster waiting to happen, so it was money well spent this time. Tag: Personal Finance Tag: Daily Life

A group of Democratic lawmakers has introduced legislation that would impose a tax on Wall Street securities transactions.
H.R. 4191, the Let Wall Street Pay for the Restoration of Main Street Act, would apply a tax to trades of stocks, futures contracts, swaps, credit default swaps and options. The measure was proposed by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore. The American taxpayers bailed out Wall Street during a crisis brought on by reckless speculation in the financial markets, he said in a statement. This legislation will force Wall Street to do their part and put people displaced by that crisis back to work.
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, plans to introduce similar legislation in the Senate next week. There is no question that Wall Street can easily bear this tax, he said.
The securities transaction tax would impose an 0.25 percent tax on stock transactions; an 0.02 percent tax on futures contracts, swaps and credit default swaps; and an unspecified tax on options.
The tax would be refunded for tax-favored retirement accounts, mutual funds, education savings accounts, health savings accounts, and the first $100,000 of transactions annually that are not already exempted. Half the revenue generated by the transaction tax (approximately $75 billion) would be deposited in a Job Creation Reserve fund. The Surface Transportation Authorization Act of 2009, another bill intended to create jobs, would be partially funded through the tax. The second half of the revenue generated by the transaction tax (approximately $75 billion) would be used to reduce the deficit.
The head of the Financial Services Roundtable said he opposed the bill. Nearly every American would be impacted by a new transaction tax, no matter how small it is, said president and CEO Steve Bartlett in a statement. It would reduce the investment accounts for all Americans and erect a roadblock to capital flowing into the system thereby limiting job growth and productivity. The proposal will expose Americans to double taxation once when they buy a share of stock and once when they sell it."

Best Witches!
Hello stampers!
I bought this sweet little witch stamp way back in the spring on the bugaboo website. I have literally been waiting for months to use this sweet little girl. Bugaboo has so many different "brats"...I personally think they are much too cute for being brats....that said, they also have a variety of furniture, steps, benches, and even a broom to sit on.
As usual, you can't see dimension on a scanner. The little girl is popped out using a pop dot and then her knees and feet are popped again. I was excited when I saw this paper at Simply (Sorry, I always forget to note the paper company). It looked just like a twilight sky, perfect for flying around on a broom stick. I used the spooky fence border punch by Martha Stewart for the border.
Of all the cards I've been making lately, this one might be one of my all time favorites.
In case you are wondering, here is a list of Copics that were used:c-1, c-5, e00, e01, e35, e37, y17, bg 10, yr23, v17.
Happy Stamping!

Oh and MEATHEAD....you can shove your smoking ban and cig taxes where the sun dont shine...............we will have these prohibitions REPEALED all across the nation.........and for your info...second hand smoke is 94% WATER VAPOR.......That little bit of information you nazis never wanted to get out..........those carcinogens you rant about.........dose makes the poison dudette and femptograms aint gonna harm nobody.........29 pico grams of n-nitrosomines/arsenic they measured from shs/ets.guess what.thats the same amount thats in the OUTSIDE AIR EVERYWHERE........you guys are a classic joke.......it takes 5 million times 29 picograms of n-nitrosomines/arsenic to harm anybody................it seems that most everything you guys said was in second hand smoke is in the air outside at the same levels you say are in cig smoke........SECOND HAND SMOKE IS A JOKE...
As for secondhand smoke in the air, OSHA has stated outright that: "Field studies of environmental tobacco smoke indicate that under normal conditions, the components in tobacco smoke are diluted below existing Permissible Exposure Levels (PELS.) as referenced in the Air Contaminant Standard (29 CFR 1910.1000)...It would be very rare to find a workplace with so much smoking that any individual PEL would be exceeded." -Letter From Greg Watchman, Acting Sec'y, OSHA, To Leroy J Pletten, PHD, July 8, 1997
SECOND HAND SMOKE IS A JOKE. Ask the anti-tobacco folks to tell you what truly is in second hand smoke...when it burns from the coal its oxygenated and everything is burned and turned into water vapor..................thats right water..........you ever burned leaves in the fall...know how the heavy smoke bellows off.......thats the organic material releasing the moisture in the leaves the greener the leaves/organic material the more smoke thats made......thats why second hand smoke is classified as a class 3 irritant by osha and epa as of 2006........after that time EPA decided to change the listing of shs as a carcinogen for political reasons.......because it contained a trace amount of 6 chemicals so small even sophisticated scientific equipment can hardly detect it ........they didnt however use the normal dose makes the poison computation when they made this political decision. However osha still maintains shs/ets as an irritant only and maintains the dose makes the poison position.......as osha is in charge of indoor air quality its decisions are based on science not political agendas as epa's is. We can see this is true after a federal judge threw out the epa's study on shs as junk science......... Wednesday, March 12, 2008 British Medical Journal & WHO conclude secondhand smoke "health hazard" claims are greatly exaggerated The BMJ published report at:
concludes that "The results do not support a causal relation between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco related mortality. The association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer are considerably weaker than generally believed." What makes this study so significant is that it took place over a 39 year period, and studied the results of non-smokers who lived with smokers.....
meaning these non-smokers were exposed to secondhand smoke up to 24 hours per day; 365 days per year for 39 years. And there was still no relation between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco related mortality. In light of the damage to business, jobs, and the economy from smoking bans the BMJ report should be revisited by lawmakers as a reference tool and justification to repeal the now unnecessary and very damaging smoking ban laws. Also significant is the World Health Organization (WHO) study:
Passive smoking doesn't cause cancer-official By Victoria Macdonald, Health Correspondent " The results are consistent with their being no additional risk for a person living or working with a smoker and could be consistent with passive smoke having a protective effect against lung cancer. The summary, seen by The Telegraph, also states: 'There was no association between lung cancer risk and ETS exposure during childhood.' " And if lawmakers need additional real world data to further highlight the need to eliminate these onerous and arbitrary laws, air quality testing by Johns Hopkins University proves that secondhand smoke is up to 25,000 times SAFER than occupational (OSHA) workplace regulations.
The Chemistry of Secondary Smoke About 94% of secondary smoke is composed of water vapor and ordinary air with a slight excess of carbon dioxide. Another 3 % is carbon monoxide. The last 3 % contains the rest of the 4,000 or so chemicals supposedly to be found in smoke but found, obviously, in very small quantities if at all.This is because most of the assumed chemicals have never actually been found in secondhand smoke. (1989 Report of the Surgeon General p. 80). Most of these chemicals can only be found in quantities measured in nanograms, picograms and femtograms. Many cannot even be detected in these amounts: their presence is simply theorized rather than measured. To bring those quantities into a real world perspective, take a saltshaker and shake out a few grains of salt. A single grain of that salt will weigh in the ballpark of 100 million picograms! (Allen Blackman. Chemistry Magazine 10/08/01). - (Excerpted from "Dissecting Antismokers' Brains" with permission of the author.)
The Myth of the Smoking Ban Miracle Restrictions on smoking around the world are claimed to have had a dramatic effect on heart attack rates. It's not true. http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php/site/article/7451/
As for secondhand smoke in the air, OSHA has stated outright that: "Field studies of environmental tobacco smoke indicate that under normal conditions, the components in tobacco smoke are diluted below existing Permissible Exposure Levels (PELS.) as referenced in the Air Contaminant Standard (29 CFR 1910.1000)...It would be very rare to find a workplace with so much smoking that any individual PEL would be exceeded." -Letter From Greg Watchman, Acting Sec'y, OSHA, To Leroy J Pletten, PHD, July 8, 1997

The shots were heartbreaking. Thankfully one of the immunizations is now administered orally, so she only had to endure three big needles pumped into her juicy thighs! Laney is a trooper though and after a little Tylenol, she's doing as well as can be expected.
Drum roll please...Laney's two month stats:
14 lbs, 2 oz. - 97th percentile...but I had just fed her a few ounces in the waiting room so wouldn't it be fair to just say 14lbs?? :)
Her length is 24 inches - 90th percentile.
Her head circumference is in the 95th percentile, and as Dr. J said..."she's got plenty of brains in there!"

March 20, 2017
By Dennis Kaiser
Six retail leaders shared the keys to creating a retail environment that remains vibrant and appealing around the clock at Connect Retail West. The panel was entitled, "24-Hour Cities: Transforming Neighborhoods & Changing Retail."
The foundation to thriving new areas are what Federal Realty's Jeff Kreshek called "building blocks" that come together in a "methodical, contrived process." In the case of L.A., that involved zoning changes enacted to encourage adaptive reuse development, and "meeting the daily needs and convenience" requirements of residents, Kreshek noted. This must happen before top-line retailers such as Apple, Whole Foods or others are interested in an area.
It also requires a few early adopters taking a chance on an often unproven market. The "catalytic" moments in Downtown L.A. (DTLA), according to Avison Young's Derrick Moore, included the development of Staples Center, the emergence of L.A. Live, and the arrival of a Ralphs grocery store.
DTLA had been without a grocery store for 80 years, said Moore, who believes there are still 20 years of run left for DTLA as a result of the massive residential growth. To get the resurgence launched required a public/private team effort, as well as a bit of "twisting, kicking and dragging people down to see," he said. Ultimately, it provided a "significant spark in a desolate area."
Infusing new life into a market also serves as a trigger to encourage others to join the mix, said SoulCycle's Alan Cooke. The "experiential retailer" played a role in a NY neighborhood "breaking out of a mold" at its studio on 83rd Street. The location on the Upper East Side has proven "pretty inspirational," since SoulCycle's arrival helped "completely transform a corner," said Cooke.
SoulCycle's approach creates dynamic places that "adapt to a submarket's customers." By understanding the customer better, SoulCycle is able to curate studio environments that appeal to them. One example of activating studios longer is a concept called Soul Late, in which a studio stays open late for workout events, followed by cocktails, which serve somewhat as a nightclub experience.
The Bloc's Kathleen Miller said one of the intriguing retail concepts she's spotted recently are "pop-up locations in DTLA's Arts District," which have emerged to enliven spaces. "Those are straight out of Austin," she said.
Consumers seek out places that are fun and engaging, notes Kreshek, who said the biggest threat to the retail sector is "boredom and indifference. For 24-hour cities to work they must be compelling on every level," he said. It is "hard to execute" in urban environments, though it is "most important to get the urban edge to look right."
"Flexibility is key," said Browman Development Co.'s Scott Bohrer. "You need to be able to have options built into future development for non-traditional uses later."
Infill retail redevelopment projects can also involve changing perceptions and balancing expectations. That's particularly acute when developing in areas of a city that aren't highly affluent, popular or on the radar yet. Primestor's Alan Araki said, "Part of the challenge is financing," since "the income levels are not as high" in areas the company finds appealing to develop, "yet the cost is the same to build" projects. "Those deals are challenging, so public/private partnerships are key" to bringing them to fruition.

Microsoft's announcement of mixed reality headsets included the reveal that Acer, HP, Lenovo, and Dell would be creating hardware. Images for all of their prototypes were shown in the reveal and, now, Dell has shared some details on their device. The headset will be called Visor and comes with a price tag of $350.
Dell's Visor, which Venturebeat reports will be launching on October 17th, looks like it has a fairly cushioned headband and also has the option to flip the VR lenses upward so you can see your surroundings clearly. The headset also looks fairly light compared to other virtual reality headsets and it will be interesting to see how things work under the hood.
The design of VR headsets is going to be a topic of conversation for a long while as different manufacturers try to find the perfect balance of functionality and comfort. If that comfort aspect isn't met, it's going to be difficult to convince consumers to stay in virtual worlds for long periods of time.
Visor alone will cost $350 with controllers available for $100. As mentioned in Microsoft's initial announcement, this headset has built-in trackers so there's no need to set up external sensors. Furthermore, Visor has a 1400 x 1400 liquid crystal display and is capable of 360-degree panorama. The headset will be supported by a plethora of experiences that include some of VR's greatest hits and some new additions headed up by Microsoft. We'll update as more information on this new wave of VR headsets is made available.

Today I had a to-do list that was quite long. I put the kids in the after school enrichment program until 3:30pm so that I could get it all done without four additional feet following me around. Some were in-house things (laundry, baking and freezing, changing linens, emptying all garbage and putting it on the curb, writing out two birthday cards and getting them in the mail) and some were errands I had to run (post office, drycleaners, grocery shopping, Target for diapers, Costco for milk, carwash). Instead I took a one and a half hour nap with Lauren this morning after we dropped the kids off, we woke up and ate lunch, and then we went shopping for the kids' outfits for our family photos we're taking next weekend. The worst part? I feel no guilt about it at all. But it does mean that tomorrow is gonna kind of suck. I have a lot to do tomorrow.
This is how my day started - 3 little bugs, snuggled in my bed.

Must try the hot chocolate – truly different.
Building was a church – go to the top floor and look at the stunning decorated ceiling,
As you walk in the smell of roasting coffee is fantastic – as are the cakes.
You can buy the coffees as beans – would recommend the Mr Ismails blend which is deep and full of real aroma and flavour (and their cheapest option).
Sitting outside is a bit sad in the cold months – unless you know anyone that frequents 'Spoons' across the road (florid types with balance and mobility issues…)

How is the Ole Miss NCAA case tied to the one continually affecting Carolina?
The University of Mississippi is in a mighty big mess with its football program, and what happens between the school and the NCAA poses an interesting juxtaposition to UNC's case of impermissible benefits for academic guidance.
The Ole Miss meeting with the NCAA Committee on Infractions is scheduled for September 21, when 21 allegations will be adjudicated and penalties subsequently decided a month or so later. UNC's hearing with the COI is later this month, but the announced penalties will be so close in time that comparisons are unavoidable.
Of the Rebels' 21 acknowledged violations, 15 are Level I's, the most serious under NCAA rules. Ole Miss is accused of boosters providing recruits with impermissible benefits such as cash, gifts and a lack of institutional control, while former head coach Hugh Freeze is accused of failing to monitor his staff. The school has already pleaded guilty and self-imposed a post-season ban for 2017 and the loss of scholarships, as well as forfeited its share of post-season revenue from the SEC, which could be as much as $7.8 million.
In comparison, that seems far worse than UNC's debatable five Level I allegations, the most serious being a lack of institutional control over aspects of the controversial courses offered in the old AFAM department. To this point, no one is really sure if those are even NCAA violations.
Further complicating the comparison is the head of the Committee on Infractions for UNC's hearing is Greg Sankey, the SEC commissioner who Carolina tried to get removed from that position because of his supposed biased toward his own league member, which Sankey has defended publicly.
Will the NCAA accept what Ole Miss has already given up and hit UNC with worse penalties in two cases that aren't even close to being apples versus apples? It's another element of intrigue that will be watched closely and, without a doubt, scrutinized when all the penalties are announced.
Call it the height of irony if an academic issue not in the NCAA's jurisdiction draws stiffer sanctions than the mess at Ole Miss.

Stelvio Cipriani was well known as a seasoned composer of music for film even during the early stages of his now long career. He was able to turn his hand and musical style to just about every kind of storyline, genre and scenario. Released in 1975, LA MOGLIE GIOVANE contained a haunting and pleasing score. The 1970s were the busiest period for Cipriani and during that decade he worked on numerous films, including more than a few westerns, a scattering of dramas, romances and a fair share of horror movies, giallo's and police dramas, with a light sprinkling of comedies.
LA MOGLI GIOVANE is fairly typical of Cipriani but he is not a typical composer, so the music is not only highly romantic and tuneful but also has upbeat and dramatic moments. For the majority of the score Cipriani relies upon a light and pop oriented sound, strings, piano, subdued harpsichord flourishes, organ, saxophone, percussion and understated but effective woodwind, all coming together to create a work which is easy on the ear with a laid back, relaxing atmosphere. What I'm saying is that this isn't complicated or difficult to listen to. It's a soundtrack one can easily leave playing in the background but of which one is still able to pick out certain musical passages, musical phrases and catchy themes. In many ways it reminded me of the composer's THE ANONYMOUS VENETIAN – it has that sound to it. This "sound" is more prominent in track 14 when piano and strings combine to create an emotive performance, later joined by solo guitar and subtle harpsichord, underlined by soft strings.
The score is melodic throughout with a highly romantic aura about it. The central theme is repeated throughout with the composer building his secondary themes around it and arranging the haunting composition in a number of ways. These include poignant tone poems, jazz infused cues and easy listening excursions which, once heard, linger for a long time in the listener's mind. Well presented by BEAT records the CD has excellent sound quality and informative liner notes with a booklet containing stills from the film.
