This story originally appeared at Truthdig. Robert Scheer is the author of The Great American Stickup: How Reagan Republicans and Clinton Democrats Enriched Wall Street While Mugging Main Street (Nation Books). Scheduling note: beginning next week, Robert Scheer's column will appear on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays.
Behold this unctuous knave, a disgrace to his nation as few before him, yet boasting unvarnished virtue. The deceit of Dick Cheney is indeed of Shakespearean proportions, as evidenced in his new memoir. For the former vice president, lying comes so easily that one must assume he takes the pursuit of truth to be nothing more than a reckless indulgence.
Here is a man who, more than anyone else in the Bush administration, trafficked in the campaign of deceit that caused tens of thousands to die, wasted trillions of dollars in resources and indelibly sullied the legacy of this nation through the practice of torture, which Cheney defends to this day. Still this villain claims that, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the horrid methods he endorsed were a necessary response to the threat of Osama bin Laden. How convenient to ignore that it was Barack Obama, a resolutely anti-torture president, who made good on the promise of Cheney and the previous administration to take down the Al Qaeda leader.
Not to mention that bin Laden was killed in his hiding place in Pakistan, a nation that the Bush administration had befriended after 9/11 by lifting the sanctions previously imposed in retaliation for Pakistan's nuclear weapons program, a program connected with the proliferation of nuclear weapons know-how and the sale of nuclear material to North Korea, Libya and Iran.
Pakistan joined with only two other nations, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, in granting diplomatic recognition to the Taliban government that provided a safe haven for Al Qaeda as bin Laden orchestrated the 9/11 attack. But instead of focusing on the source of the problem, Cheney led the effort to overthrow Saddam Hussein, who had ruthlessly hounded any Al Qaeda operatives who dared function in Iraq.
You don't have to slog too deeply through Dick Cheney's advertisement for himself to grasp not only the wicked cynicism of the man but also how shallow are his perceptions. He recalls his college years in the 1960s, when he was a draft-deferred young Republican during America's murderous adventure in Vietnam—in which more than 3 million Indochinese and 59,000 Americans were killed—as a time of career advancement through strategic Washington appointments.
The war that left Martin Luther King Jr. condemning his own government as "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today" is condemned in Cheney's memoir only for the reactive violence that he attributes to anti-war student protesters. We are told, in a reminiscence of his days as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, that "in May 1969, students threw rocks and bottles at police trying to shut down a party on Mifflin Street," but there is nothing of napalmed Vietnamese or US troops in body bags.

When I tell people I have two children under one who are not twins.. I get one of two reactions.
I get the "Well you must be busy.." mixed with this "You're crazy lady" expression, or I get the longing sigh and "You're so lucky..."
I have never once gotten another reaction. Reaction number one far outweighs reaction two.
But people seem so misinformed about this topic, and new moms certainly don't get any info about spacing their children close together. So I'm here to talk about my experiences and the pros and cons of this stage of my life.
I'm gonna talk about the cons first, and then get you into the good stuff.
My body didn't have time to recover
My hips are still out of whack three months after Miahs birth because they never really had a chance to recover after Elsie. Miahs pregnancy was harder on me for things like walking and climbing stairs for this same reason. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be at all.
We had a hard time bonding at first
This one was hard on me. I remember looking at Josh at 3 weeks with Miah screaming to nurse and Elsie screaming cause she wanted to be cuddled and saying "I'm a horrible mom, I don't love him. It's like he's not even mine, I don't even know him!"
I remember feeling such guilt that I didn't bond instantly with him like I did with Elsie. With Elsie I spent every minute of my pregnancy bonding with her. By the time she came out, I already knew her. I didn't have the time to focus on Miah with his pregnancy. I was to busy chasing around my newly walking toddler.
When he was born... I loved him... but I was also pretty resentful, because I wanted to spend time with Elsie, but this little baby wanted to nurse and it hurt(we struggled with a bad latch), and I was so tired, and I didn't know this little baby like I knew Elsie.
I actually remember the first time I looked at him and honestly said "Mommy loves you." I cried for almost an hour after I realized I honestly meant it. That was around 2 months. I called Josh and he said "You've meant it the entire time... you were just really overwhelmed."
You will struggle with Mommy-guilt like never before.
I still struggle with this. Toddlers take up a lot of time. So do newborns. You will not have enough time. One of them will always need you, often times both will need you. Your house will always be a mess, your dinners will always feel slapped together, and you will always be exhausted from lack of sleep. That's just par for the course. What people don't tell you is the mommy-guilt will get you.
"Do I hold him enough?" "Does she know I still love her?" "Does he need to nurse more often?" "I held her all the time and he spends so much time in his swing..." "Am I stimulating them enough?" "He's a little behind in milestones... is it my fault?"
You'll think these things all the time. And really, there's no way to answer them. You're doing the best you can and if they are alive at the end of the day... GO YOU!
Your older one might struggle with Jealousy and even violent outbursts.
For a couple months we dealt with Elsie hitting Miah whenever he was nursing or crying and I had to pick him up, just from sheer jealousy. I really had to be careful to play with her and snuggle her and tell her Miah was "Her baby." She struggled a bit with the protective sister instinct and the "I want my parents." jealousy... but now she's mostly fine, gives him a soother and bottles and rocks him and holds him. But be prepared for some fights along the way, maybe even a couple meltdowns.
Now... I know, it seems like "Well then why would you ever do that?" because the pros are so great.
They play together.
My children are so interested in each other. Elsie is completely fascinated by Miah, and Miah loves Elsie. He always gives her these adorable little smiles. Elsie sings to him and dances with him, and when he gets up in the morning, she's super excited. They play together really well, and something tells me this will only get better as they get older.
Nursing was easier.
I was already used to nursing after Elsie, so nursing Miah was no biggie at all. I also knew what to expect, so I wasn't so discouraged when those first couple days were hard.
Pregnancy and Labour were easier.
Remember how my hips didn't go back and it causes my problems now? Well, it didn't in labour. It was amazing in labour with my pain level and speed of labour. Pregnancy also rocked in some ways, because first off, I didn't have time to think about being pregnant while chasing around Elsie. I didn't struggle with the severe hip pain and back pain I did with Elsie, because my hips and back were already where they needed to be. Overall, the entire experience of the pregnancy itself was easier.
You already have all that baby stuff out.
I hate sorting away my baby stuff. Because I know I'm just going to have to drag it out later anyways. When I got pregnant again, I was so excited that I didn't have to put away the crib or the bouncy chair or the high chair, or the ridiculous amount of baby toys we have around.. it was all going to be used again right away.
You're already sleep deprived.
I kid you not. This I think made those first couple months easier. We were already sleep deprived. Elsie was already getting up at night and crying while she teethed, so adding a nursing baby didn't really make a difference in our ability to function. We never really got back in the habit of sleeping through the night anyways.
We have such fun.
When you space out your kids... you get used to doing big kids things, like going to the park... and then you realize that you have a little baby now and those things are a lot harder. It can be a resentful moment. I didn't have this with Miah. We were already playing baby games, it was already hard to get out of the door. My kids are so happy and I have learned to love peek a boo and pat a cake.
I can totally see why someone who choose to space out their children. I totally get it. But I think having them close is also awesome, and I think I'm gonna do it again, not this next one, but the one after that. Because it really is an adventure, and it's a lot of fun.

My name is Lorenzo and I am a designer and a researcher in the areas of interaction and service design. I obtained my PhD at the Umeå Institute of Design and my MSc in Industrial Design at Politecnico di Milano. Between these studies I had the opportunity to work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a research assistant for the Vehicle Design Summit, collaborating with the Senseable City Lab and interning with the Mobility and Energy Efficiency Team at the Rocky Mountain Institute in Boulder Colorado. Through these experiences I developed competences and skills about how to guide companies and public institutions in their transition toward configurations more attentive and responsive to the needs of contemporary society and its service and information economies. After my graduation I have been consulting in the field of logistic and automation and now practicing as a service designer at Ericsson.
About my work
Information and automation technologies provide several opportunities for the design and implementation of more flexible, user entered and adaptive forms of production and service supply. Nevertheless these innovations are often constrained within the boundaries of accustomed 'industrial' practices and forms of organisation. Through design, preferable scenarios and business models can be conceived, prototyped and experienced, providing the means to learn how to configure and achieve these visions, 'exploring the future by feeling around the corner'. This means not only to investigate how to properly attune new systems of product and services to their context of use —anticipating possible consequences and controversies— but also to acknowledge what changes are possible, or even required, on behalf of the industrial systems within which these innovations will operate.

Discover Barumini, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. During the Bronze Age, a special type of defensive structure nuraghi was developed on the island of Sardinia and today you'll have a chance to explore this amazing site.
Barumini is one of the main strongholds of an entire network of large and small nuraghi all over this area. It gained considerable importance after the discovery, in the late fifties, of the extraordinary fortress of Su Nuraxi, with its adjoining village. The oldest original tower, dating back to approximately the 15th century B.C. is three stories high, with a height of approximately 60 feet/18 meters.
Around the tower are massive fortifications comprising of four towers surrounded by an enormous wall forming a large inner courtyard with a well dug out of rock. You'll also see an intricate village with dwellings, buildings for religious purposes and meetings. The well-preserved remains of the bakeries with ovens, kneading tubs and mill-wheels are impressive.

Hudson Hawk (Michael Lehmann, 1991)
2 comments:
Nice! I've never actually sat through Hudson Hawke but when I was studying Film Theory at university at the time of its release, one of my professors was an eloquent and passionate defender of it. (It was of course one of the most maligned turkeys of its era. She was very much a lone voice!). She argued Hudson Hawke succeeded on its own terms – it's just that everyone else approached it as a Bruce Willis action thriller. She also saw it as an ideal role for Sandra Bernhard (so basically she agreed with all your points!). Looking back, present-day Hollywood never knew how to employ Bernhard's weird manic charisma (besides King of Comedy). In the thirties she would have excelled in screwball comedies.ReplyDeleteReplies
Sandra Bernhard in a 1930s-style screwball comedy? Yes, please.Delete
It's a weird feeling, watching a movie (from start to finish) that you've heard nothing but negative things about for the past twenty plus years.

Soon you will be able to take a look into the mind, closet, and kitchen of Gwyneth Paltrow. She is starting a blog! And it's called, um, GOOP. It's unclear at this point what exactly the name means.
The site is apparently set to launch soon.
"My life is good because I am not passive about it. I want to nourish what is real, and I want to do it without wasting time. I love to travel, to cook, to eat, to take care of my body and mind, to work hard. I love being a mother who has to overcome my bad qualities to be a good mother. I love being in spaces that are clean and feel nice." Gwyneth Paltrow
While I was skeptical at first, I must admit that I'm now kind of charmed. The first e-newsletter includes an easy-to-wear fashion tip — variations on the grey tank and leggings uniform, topped with a sweet little pea coat. Plus, she models all the adorable outfits herself. The latest "nourishes the inner aspect" with sage advice from the likes of Deepak Chopra and Sufi Shaikh Kabir Helminski. Next time, the pedigreed blonde promises recipes for vegan pancakes and tuna sandwiches.
I'm definitely curious to see where this goes. What do you think? Will you check her site out?

The Wall Street Journal online posted an eye-catching article last week: More Workers Start to Quit.
Without reading the article, this headline made me wonder several things:
That last one is a pretty big deal. Fear can impose poor judgment and eat away at a person's overall happiness. It can make you settle into a state of unhappiness simply because the fear of the changes you need to make to become happier can overrule your better judgment.
Does that make sense?
I'll paint a picture: You feel undervalued by your current employer and know you would be happier working for someone who'd appreciate your contributions more. In turn, you'd respect yourself more. But then come the fears: Maybe the new employer won't value you as much you need them to. Maybe this is the best you can do and there's nothing better for you out there. Maybe they won't like you and you'll be unemployed in a matter of months.
I simply assume that fear is what causes people to stay in jobs they don't like: fear of losing a paycheck; fear of change; fear of not finding anything better and being stuck in an unhappy place.

You need to provide information about your computer, this includes is it
a laptop or desktop, is it a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP
and if it is provide the model name or series number, motherboard , PSU
and any add on card details would also help others to help you better.
A failed graphics card would result in the computer aborting the boot process
My computer boots up, I hear the windows opening music
at the POST (power on self test) stage.
Your OP suggests that the PC is a desktop so I suggest first check the PC to
screen lead for any signs of damage and that it is connected securely at both
ends (finger tighten only) and try hooking up to another screen, a laptop with
a VGA port will do, let us know how it goes.

Does the PC to monitor cable not detach at the monitor end (if it is the older CRT type it may not) if it does it should be compatible with a VGA port on a laptop that has one.
What is the make and model of the monitor please.
Thanks for the response. Sorry for my slow response. To update you, I got a new monitor and found it was not the monitor. When I heard the windows startup sound in the background I didn't realize my computer was freezing up at that point. After installing the new monitor I found that to be the case. I tried rebooting and the computer shut down when booting up. Repeated attempts produced one or the other of the aforementioned behaviors. I also hooked up the old monitor again and found it to be working now, so I'm really leaning toward the video card. I was finally able to talk to my family member that built the computer for me. He's had a lot on his plate recently. Didn't realize it, but the mother board has a built in video card in addition to the add in card that we think is the problem. Tonight when I get home from work, I'm going to take out the add in card to see if the system will run with the built-in card. Wish me luck. i'll let you know how it turns out.

Posted 26 July 2011 - 09:06 AM
Tip. If when you remove the add on card you still do not get a display remove the silver CR2032 battery on the MB for a few moments and then replace it, if you then get a display on first boot you will need to go into the BIOS and reset the time and date, save the new settings (F10) and then Y to accept the new settings, this will restore the MB to the factory settings which includes enabling the MBs integrated video chip, good luck and I will look out for your update.
Thanks to rshaffer61 for the battery .jpeg

So moral of the story folks, open up your computer periodically and blow it out. It will save you money in the long run.
Thanks for your help. If I have any more problems with it I will post an update.

NB: As you have found dust can cause chaos so inside the case requires regular cleaning (every 4-6 weeks) more frequent if you have pets or are smokers, be sure to also blow out the Ram and video card slots and if using compressed air hold all fans still to prevent damage.

There's some debate about the merit of critique groups, especially for novelists aspiring to write at a professional level. Some people are eager advocates of critique groups; others have added critique groups to the "don't waste your time" list. I am neither a critique group proponent nor opponent. Whether or not I recommend joining a critique group to a particular writer depends on the situation.

For some individuals, any monetary cost of opioid or drug addiction rehab is excessive.
For people residing in hardship and those who are jobless, even homeless, and dealing with the physical, psychological, and monetary cost of addiction, the concept of going into a treatment program appears difficult since there is simply no cash readily available. Because numerous treatment programs are beyond the ability of these people or their households to afford, some of them try a hazardous cold-turkey or at-home detox, or other treatment techniques that are not evidence-based and used by companies with doubtful credentials. A few of these individuals, even though they wish to move past their addictions, quit on the idea of rehab entirely just based on the failure to pay.
What Is Consisted of in Free Drug Rehab in Quicksburg, Virginia?
We offer information, resources, and treatment for people fighting addiction and related conditions. Our objective is to equip patients and families with the best info, resources and tools to conquer dependency and pursue long-lasting recovery. We are here to assist you or your loved one every action of the method.
Drug rehab Frequently asked questions for 22847
We are one of the premier opioid and drug rehab centers, and we continues to be one of the most desired locations for dependency treatment anywhere in the world. In a safe, highly sought-after neighborhood in a metropolitan setting, our treatment center is a perfect location for young people. Healing in a metropolitan setting affords customers various chances to integrate "real world" experiences into treatment, such as getaways to the health club, movies and other day-to-day activities.
What Occurs in Addiction Rehab? Serving 22847
Dependency rehab treatment is customized to the requirements of each individual. This generally involves some combination of detoxing (detox), group and private drug abuse treatment, regression prevention education, and aftercare preparation prior to program completion in order to maintain long-term sobriety.
Exactly what is detox?
Detox, or cleansing, is the cleaning of toxins or damaging substances from the body. A detox might be done by taking supplements or drinking liquids that are made particularly for detoxification, fasting and consuming prescribed foods. This flushing of toxic substances is vital for an individual's health and stability. While detox may be unpleasant and challenging, there are methods to minimize the physical discomfort. Detox can be dangerous if not handled by a qualified medical practitioner. Detox addresses the physical problems that feature addiction. When a client goes through detox from opioids or drugs, they are then ready to start the mental journey to healing.
Different dependencies require different treatments. In order to discover what is best for you, discuss your situation with a qualified healthcare expert, such as a therapist, dependencies counselor, psychiatrist or doctor. Request a referral to a reputable treatment facility.

The APA-accredited doctorate program in clinical psychology at Georgia Southern University (GS) is a full time, day program offering a course of study leading to the Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree. The program's curriculum prepares graduates for the practice of psychology with a special focus on practice in rural areas. Coursework and training prepare students for licensure as a psychologist, with an emphasis on educating emerging psychologists for the underserved areas in the state of Georgia and adjacent regions in the Southeast.
The Psy.D. program originated from a longstanding and dire need for licensed psychologists in rural, underserved areas of the United States, most specifically in the rural south. This mission is consistent with Georgia Southern University's commitment to serve the needs of the southeastern region of the country. The program trains students according to the practitioner-scholar model. Students are taught to become generalists who will be effective in the delivery of psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and psychological consultation services in rural areas. Consistent with the framework of a generalist approach, the curriculum, beginning with foundational courses, strives to create and maintain a dynamic and integrative program, emphasizing behavioral, cognitive, existential, family systems, humanistic, and psychodynamic orientations.
The program is designed to foster the intrapersonal and professional development of students. This process is aimed at helping the students cultivate balance within their personal and professional growth. In addition to academic requirements, students are encouraged to take initiative and responsibility for personal and professional growth through independent readings, interaction with fellow students and faculty, attendance at colloquia, and additional elective research and practica opportunities. The PsyD is a professional degree, and focuses on the development of applied practice skills. Because the program is an integral part of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences in a regional university, doctoral students engage in all aspects of scholarly inquiry, including substantive qualitative and quantitative research, and professional membership and discourse in state, regional, and national organizations.

Ammirati snared Dell's U.S. Home & Small Business assignment, representing the bulk of the estimated $70 million to $90 million in Dell business formerly at Goldberg Moser O'Neill, San Francisco. Ammirati is expected to pick up other small assignments, such as government and education work, that had been at Goldberg Moser.
Goldberg Moser last month resigned its Dell business after the Home & Small Business portion went into review. Ammirati faced off against Temerlin McClain, Irving, Texas, and Bronnercom, Boston, during the week of May 3 in the review, managed by Mitchell Co., Dallas.
Ammirati had been seen as the favorite early on in the review, with the agency saying several weeks ago it felt it had nailed the prize of the booming direct computer marketer. The win is a remarkable comeback for Ammirati, fired a year ago as global agency for Compaq Computer Corp. Lintas handled IBM Corp. before the agency merged with Ammirati.
Ammirati won the account by pitching an integrated approach to communications. Work will break later this year.

Product Description
Seated Calf Raise
seated calf raise are often done in a seated position for comfort. Since the weight of the upper body is rested on the seat, resistance is frequently added. Using bodyweight, one leg could be covered across the other (through external rotation) to exercise alone and double the weight lifted.
It can also be performed by using a weight, such as a barbell, to provide resistance to the action of the calf muscles. The exercise is performed from a seated position while the weight rests on the upper leg, just above the knee. The person involved in this exercise lifts the weight by pushing down on the balls of the feet
Due to the discomfort of higher weights on a bar, barbells used for seated calf raises are often padded or wrapped in a towel. There are also seated calf raise machines designed using levers that have pads built into them to protect the patella, quadriceps and tendons

Ames, IA--The voters at the straw poll are not food sluts. They wouldn't stand in line to gorge on free food just for the food--would they?
"Morals are very important to me," said a woman with elaborately curled hair. I believed her, even if she was standing in line for the Bachmann Barbeque while wearing a Ron Paul t-shirt because she struck the exact same note as my third grade teacher, who had terrified me.
And if the lines of free food (provided by the desperately smiling candidates) could be considered an indicator, then we all knew by roughly noon that the winner would indeed be Michele Bachmann. Her line was about two hours long. You could get on Space Mountain faster than that. And the competition, food-wise, was tough. Santorum had pork patties. Pawlenty had pulled pork. Cain had--what else--pizza.
The results went like this: Bachmann, Paul, Pawlenty. This matched with how well organized the campaigns were, too. By far, these three had it together. They even had games. Paul's was a fun slide thing called "The Falling Dollar."
So who voted for Bachmann? Old people. Young people with six kids. That was my completely unscientific sampling, but I did ask for about three hours as Iowans entered and exited the polls. "She's a fighter," was the most common refrain. My own assessment is that her campaign team is formidable: professional and smart. Her husband kind of bodychecked me out of the way--I am a pesky reporter, and those aren't so popular after the recent New Yorker and Newsweek profiles, but I'm going to assume he didn't mean to, it was just that kind of day.
What does this say about the people who voted for the congresswoman? The Iowa straw poll voters, by and large, are primarily concerned with morality. This came up again and again, and when I asked if "morality" included "fiscal responsibility," I was frequently corrected. "Biblical," one woman clarified.
In an equally unscientific survey in greater Ames, outside the straw poll, I found the majority to be consumed by the issue of the economy, jobs and (brace yourselves) global warming. This was not the typical "heartland" stuff you expect to hear.
In fact, at the state fair--a very big deal, because it is the 100th year of the giant cow made of butter--quite a few people approached me after spotting my press pass. I was watching a young man slurp down a stick of fried butter doused with vanilla icing when a blonde woman (name withheld) made a beeline for me.
"We're not all concerned about moral values," she said, assuming this is what I heard all day. "Make sure you write that." She, too, was worried about the economy ("Make sure you write that"). Meanwhile, the kid eating the stick of fired butter threw up behind her.
--Michele Mitchell
Note: We did ask the questions submitted on the Film@11 Facebook page for our upcoming "Common Sense" series. Watch for previews!

Glen Coffee retiring

Glen Coffee retiringTags: None
Update.If true I cant rip him for going to the priest hood.lol
Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald, who covered Glen Coffee at Alabama, believes Coffee is retiring to pursue the priesthood.
"Having covered 49ers RB Glen Coffee for 3 years, not surprised he retired," tweeted Rapoport on Friday. "He has a higher call. Wouldn't shock me if he headed to ministry." The 49ers retain Coffee's rights, but it sounds like his retirement is for good. He'll remain under contract through 2012

There are some things that I personally can't criticize a guy quitting/abruptly taking off football for, and a person's religion is one of them.
Except if they're Hindu. But that's only because I see Ghandi as the "nut up or shut up" type.Still Team The Ke$ha!!!

Strange. He gained like 15# in the offseason and looked more like a fulltime RB.
Initial article from the team website. Apparently Coach Singletary respected Coffee's decision so it doesn't appear to be related to the "doesn't like to be yelled at" scenario.
Coffee Tells 49ers He Intends to Retire
Posted by Taylor Price on August 13, 2010 – 12:55 PM
At the conclusion of Friday's only training camp practice of the day, Mike Singletary announced that second-year running back Glen Coffee informed the 49ers he intends to retire from the National Football League.
Coffee released this statement through the team earlier on Friday:
"This has been a tough decision for me to make, but at this time in my life I feel it is best for me that I move on from football. I appreciate what the 49ers, my teammates and coaches have done for me, and I wish them a blessed season and all the best in the future."
Singletary met with Coffee Friday morning and the two discussed the difficult decision.
"Glen informed us this morning of his intent to no longer play the game of football," Singletary said. "I respect that. I appreciate everything that he's done for the 49ers and whatever the issues are, I'm not going to go into all of the other stuff. You will have to talk to Glen about that. But I appreciate his honesty and I appreciate him not coming out here and going through the motions."
Singletary insisted that the news of the day won't become a distraction to his players and their goals for the upcoming season.
"I was telling someone just a little while ago that this has been one of the best weeks that we've had, and the reason why is because we have adversity. When you have to deal with adversity it allows you to focus. It would be very easy to go through the entire offseason and go through training camp without facing any adversity at all, and go into the season and you have one setback and think, 'Oh my goodness, how are we going to deal with that?' We can deal with anything. We're dealing with this in stride and continuing to have our best practice, the guys are continuing to be enthusiastic about what they are thinking about, their focus. I think our guys understand, we're going to have some adversity and when we do the most important thing is how we deal with it. We respond, and we move forward."
Singletary called Coffee an "exceptional young man" adding, "I hold him in very high regard."
Coffee was slated to be the 49ers No. 2 running back, and Singletary indicated that rookie Anthony Dixon and veteran Michael Robinson would be in competition to assume that position.
"(Dixon) is going to step into the same role," Singletary said. "He and Coffee were competing to see who that backup guy was going to be. And right now, it really forces Dixon to grow up really quick. It's one of those things where he is going to take more snaps; he's going to get more of the workload.
"I would say right now we are just going to go through this process and see what we come up with in the personnel department and just go forward with that and let things continue to work themselves out."

Another year just flew by. Like every year, this year too had its fair share of ups and downs. I think this was one of those years where I learned a lot about life. I got to know more about friendship, time, distance, family, love, hatred and perhaps even myself.
The year started off pretty normally. At that point, I was just waiting for my board exams to get over because it felt like this sword dangling above my head. Not that I was under pressure. I was just afraid of letting people down, because I did that quite a few times already. March was the month of the exams, and that went off very quickly. Also, towards the end of March, I met one person who means a LOT to me. I got my results in June, and I did do quite well, so the people I care about weren't let down for once.
Half the year passed by, and then it was time to step into a new world : college. I had several doubts within me. I chose a course which wasn't what one would call mainstream. Also, I don't cope well with change, and after being in a school for 12 years, this was truly a big step for me. However, I realized I did the right thing choosing what I wanted. When you choose what you really want, everything else just has a way of falling into place. I have made some great friends in college. Although my course hasn't lived up to my expectations, I do have fun. So, yes, things seemed fine. The rest of the months were pretty much the same, with the usual drama here and there. Soon enough, it was October and I officially became an adult. I didn't feel any different though, but it just gave me a new outlook to life. If I compare the person I was, and the person I am, I must say I have changed. But then again, as time passes, everybody changes. It just depends on whether you change for the good or the bad, and in my case, it's the former. As mentioned in my earlier posts, I had a great birthday this year. November passed off uneventfully, and it was finally time for December : my favourite time of the year.
Everything about December enchants me. But, this year, December turned out to be the worst month for me as I found out that the person I love the most is suffering from cancer, and that chances of survival are one in a million. Initially, the news broke me. I never hit this kind of a low ever. I still cannot come to terms with it. It is very hard for me to deal with it because none of us are good with losing people we love. Although I must say I'm lucky enough to have a good support system with me. Like the optimist I am, I did find a few positives from this as well. And moreover, life does not wait for anyone, it goes on. My hope is still intact, because I believe in miracles.
So, I don't particularly have any new year resolutions. My whole outlook on life has sort of changed after this incident. At the end of the day, all we need is people who genuinely care about us. This new year, I do not have much expectations, because one thing I learned is that we cannot control or speculate about the future. Whatever has to happen, will happen. In the meanwhile, all we can do is live more, and when I say live more, I do not mean anything crazy or wild. Just get rid of all the negativity – anger, hatred, jealousy – and replace them with positivity. Only then will we be able to truly live more, in the truest sense of the term.
Happy New Year 2014 🙂

Travel firms need to see the benefits of experimentation
This is a viewpoint from Marie Despringhere, country manager UK at Optimizely.
Today's 'always on' traveller expects a hyper-personalised package of products and services, forcing companies in the highly competitive travel industry to find new ways to gain attention and sell their services.
Travel companies must deeply understand consumer preferences and adapt their offers to individual needs. It is well known that personalised suggestions, pricing and exclusive offers are extremely valued by customers and can be a key competitive advantage. But how can travel companies make sure they are getting it right?
The culture of experimentation
The exponential rise of data has changed the face of the travel industry, bringing about an entirely new world of insights and information. Processing that data correctly allows travel companies not only to measure the value of their services and products but also, and more importantly, to meticulously analyse the information and develop new impactful customer experiences which leads to increased commerce growth.
A recent study, Adoption Experimentation in the Travel Industry, conducted by Optimizely, Digital Travel Summit, and WBR Travel surveyed 90+ executives at leading travel companies, which explored the impact of experimentation on the travel industry. The study found that 62% of travel companies attribute up to 10% of their commercial growth to their investments in testing and experimentation. One-in-five travel companies attribute even more.
Experimentation is proving a successful method for travel companies to improve the customer experience – from product offering, to marketing campaigns and exclusive services. This shift is enabling travel businesses to understand the impact of changes on conversions and revenue, and make it possible to deliver a more tailored traveller experience.
Experiment to thrive
Today's travellers wish to be involved in a seamless experience, engaging with the travel organiser from the moment they start planning a trip and searching for a deal, until the moment they return home and talk with their peers about the experience. This is where experimentation can add real value, providing useful data across the entire customer journey that can be used to develop cutting-edge products and services.
The study found that more than half of travel companies (59%) report implementing 1% to 20% of their winning tests, while 28% of travel companies report implementing 20% or more. While more travel companies are putting budget behind experimentation, there is a lack of knowledge around where best to apply testing across customers, markets and segments, which is key to how organisations create a successful culture of experimentation.
Therefore, a substantial majority of travel companies earmark a significant portion of their digital investment for experimentation. Most travel companies (61%) earmark between 1 and 10% of their online budget. Nearly one-in-five allocate 10 – 20% of their budget.
The future is now
Experimentation offers great potential to companies as it can have a significant positive impact on the business. Companies who rely on personalisation are believed to generate 20% more revenue than those who don't use this method.
Travel companies must bring together their expertise about their customers, and then apply new experimentation techniques to deliver a personalised customer experience with a clear benefit to their ultimate business strategy. As the challenges in the industry become more demanding than ever, companies with disruptive ideas are the ones who will define the future travel experience.
This is a viewpoint by Marie Despringhere , country manager UK for Optimizely.


text: Hey Guys, I am interested to purchase blogs/content site. So if you're happen to be skilled in this area, or are providing this service, please contact me. Min Requirements - A PR 2 (Shows that the Blog is properly SEOed) - 3k Min Monthly Traffic (Google Analytics must be installed.) Any niche is fine, and no revenue is required. One fine example and a simple blog is this: Code: freeiphoneapplications.com Will purchase anywhere from 500-5k per blog, constantly. So once you get one blog right, you can re-do it over and over again with the same system (You can outsource it and create more blogs for more $ ) The benefits of selling it to me, instead of listing it to flippa are: - Once you get a blog right, you've created a system and can sell it to me over and over again. - You do not need to monetize it. (Monetizing blogs can be hard.) - You save time from creating a sales template in flippa, I'll just purchase the site from you with little questions ask. All you need to do is to fulfill the above requirement. - I'll assist you in your site building in whatever way possible. - Will pay a higher price then market rate As you can see there is no loss to you here, even if it happens that you have created a blog that I do not want, you can still list it in Flippa or DP. (Very less chance if you have discuss with me beforehand.) Since this is a JV, I'm interested to hear out what you guys have to say, or any adjustments to suit the needs of both parties. Thanks

Yeasayer - Odd Blood
- Nicola Meighan
- 27 January 2010
Now we've come to acquiesce – nay, love – the fact that the future sounds like the 80s, then let us embrace three vanguard globetrotters who ride a psychedelic tide of ultra-modern synth-pop nostalgia. Their name is Yeasayer.
Emerging from (and creatively outshining) the Brooklyn hipster contingent that counts Vampire Weekend and MGMT among its number, Yeasayer's easy listening electro is nigh-on avant-garde.
Their second outing is incandescent with tropical frolics ('O.N.E', 'Ambling Alp', 'Rome'), lambent balladry ('Madder Red', 'I Remember'), and ballpark 80s anthems ('Love Me Girl'). You'll be pushed to hear a more ebullient record this year.

Unwinding the U.S. Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program never was going to be easy. It has barely started and some emerging market countries already are running into trouble.
So far the worst hit countries also appear to be victims of their own internal problems, such as high current account deficits and political turbulence. In effect, ultra-cheap money from the Fed was papering over some serious cracks – similar to what the EUR was doing for years for peripheral Eurozone countries.
It would seem perfectly natural for emerging market currencies to fall against the U.S. dollar as winding down quantitative easing is a form of monetary tightening. But will it reveal deep rot within some of those countries? For some, yes. And in this age of global inter-connectivity that potentially matters a lot.
Trying to stop USD/TRY slide by hiking interest rates
Global growth & China are key
The two big external factors as to whether recent emerging market currency volatility is just a wobble or the beginning of a bigger crisis, is world economic growth and China.
If the main stimulus for the global economy shifts from ultra-easy monetary policies toward real growth, then the currencies of the better managed emerging market countries should bounce back. The others will have to go through a painful readjustment process, but will be able to do so in a less hostile global economic environment.
China also is key in part because it is seen as a proxy of developed country growth (because they buy its exports) and also because it's a huge economy in its own right and a major consumer of raw materials. So far it has only suffered an economic slowdown.
But one thing that is for certain, the Fed's transition toward a normalized monetary policy will continue to create volatility. The job of central bankers will be to ensure that this volatility doesn't feed on itself and turn into a systemic threat, such as an emerging market crisis.
So far the odds are on containment – mainly because the world economy is recovering. But that could change at any moment.

Provides an interface to Memcache for Symfony2 applications
Installs: 116 081
Dependents: 0
Suggesters: 0
Stars: 32
Watchers: 3
Forks: 23
Open Issues: 11
It's memcache. You've seen it before. Now it's injectable to the DIC, and you don't have to write all this junk yourself. And it should also work with Amazon ElasticCache, as well as the MySQL Memcache Interface (new in MySQL 5.6).
Another advantage over just using a raw memcache object is that BCB probes servers before adding them to the pool - if a server is down, your site won't be gravely impacted by the Memcache class waiting and waiting and waiting for a response.
The groundwork is also laid out for building alternate cache interfaces quickly - such as APC caching, or your own home-rolled filesystem cache.
Step 1: Fetching
If you are using composer, you probably only need to add this to your composer.json file:
"require": {
"Beryllium/CacheBundle": "dev-master"
If you aren't using composer, add this to your deps file:
And then run the update vendors script:
bin/vendors install
Step 2: Configure autoload.php
If you aren't using Composer, register the namespace like so:
# app/autoload.php <?php $loader->registerNamespaces( array( //... 'Beryllium' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles', ) );
Step 3: Configure the AppKernel
Add it to your AppKernel:
# app/AppKernel.php <?php $bundles = array( //... new Beryllium\CacheBundle\BerylliumCacheBundle(), );
Configure your server list in parameters.ini:
beryllium_cache.client.servers["127.0.0.1"] = 11211
Or for parameters.yml:
beryllium_cache.client.servers: { "localhost": 11211 }
If you want to change the default cache TTL value (300 seconds) you can add this to your parameters.yml:
beryllium_cache.default_ttl: 86400
If you plan on using local UNIX sockets, GitHub user gierschv has contributed the ability to do this:
And then you should be good to go:
$this->get( 'beryllium_cache' )->set( 'key', 'value', $ttl );
$this->get( 'beryllium_cache' )->get( 'key' );
You might want to set up a service alias, since "$this->get( 'beryllium_cache' )" might be a bit long.
The Command Line
For a command line report of CacheClient statistics (assuming the cache client has a ->getStats method, which is not an interface requirement), you can do the following:
app/console cacheclient:stats
Example Output:
Servers found: 1 Host: 127.0.0.1:11211 Usage: 0% (0.01MB of 64MB) Uptime: 344976 seconds (3 days, 23 hours, 49 minutes, 36 seconds) Open Connections: 15 Hits: 26 Misses: 29 Helpfulness: 47.27%
Or, for extended information (the raw stats array), you can run with debugging enabled:
app/console cacheclient:stats --debug
Help is available, although brief:
app/console help cacheclient:stats
The Future
Currently there aren't any unit or functional tests. So that needs to be worked on.
More cache client implementations could be useful, if it turns out there's a demand for them.
And yes, the documentation needs to be more thorough as well. I've made some improvements, but it's still spotty at best.
Beyond that, who knows what the future might hold.

After Effects Showdown: Mac vs. PC
Apple has been advertising its G4 processors as faster than Intel Pentium 4 chips -- and that megahertz don't matter -- often citing higher performance on certain Photoshop filters. But we were wondering how the fastest Mac stacks up against an equivalently equipped PC in real world situations regularly encountered by digital video compositors. So, with Adobe After Effects 5.5 installed on the mightiest Mac available at this writing, a Power Mac G4 with dual 1GHz processors, and the PC version of After Effects 5.5 installed on a dual Athlon 1800+MP by Polywell, we did a series of six After Effects 5.5 projects that tested a variety of aspects of the rendering speed of each platform. Here are our test results.
First, let's take a look at the two machines we used for testing. We took every opportunity to make the machines as evenly matched as possible. The dual AMD Athlon MP machine, running Windows XP Professional, is a Polywell 890E (click here for a detailed review), which originally had 1GB of RAM, but we removed two of the four 256 MB RAM sticks to equip it with the same amount of RAM as the Mac G4, 512MB. An Athlon 1800+ chip runs at 1.533 GHz, which AMD says is roughly equivalent to a 1.8GHz Pentium 4 chip. This is significant, since currently the fastest Intel chip is now at 2.4GHz, so this isn't the fastest PC available at this date. Against the Athlon MP entry, we have a dual G4 Power Mac running OS X 10.1.3, with two 1GHz Motorola G4 processors. At first glance, this would seem to be a mismatch, but since the G4 chips have an Altivec processor and can do more operations per clock cycle than the Athlon MP, we expected the G4 to be able to easily keep up with its Athlon counterpart in After Effects rendering.

How We Tested
For our benchmarks, we used six projects featured in the excellent new book, After Effects 5.5 Magic, a tutorial tome by New Riders Publishing. Included in the book is a CD with all the QuickTime, Photoshop and Illustrator files for the projects for both Macs and PCs, along with the After Effects 5.5 project files for each platform. We transferred all the project and media files from the CD onto each workstation, and began our testing. Render settings for all the tests in this article were identical on both platforms, set at Best and rendered lossless at 720x486. Each file was output to its platform's native format with no compression added -- on the Windows platform, they were uncompressed Video for Windows files (.avi) and on the Mac OS X platform, they were rendered to the QuickTime animation codec (.mov). We also tried rendering both the Mac and the PC files to the same QuickTime animation codec, but that made no difference in our results. So we decided to stick with each OS's native video format because that would be the most likely method to be used in the real world. Also, even though we discovered it made no difference whatsoever, we used a single IBM 75GB ATA-100 disk on the Polywell PC instead of its original RAID array for the testing.
After the testing was done, the files for each comp were compressed for QuickTime streaming using our custom settings for Sorenson 3 via Discreet Cleaner. Since the streaming QuickTime movies for Mac and PC were identical, we've included just one movie for each test. The times on each graph are represented in minutes and seconds. The Polywell machine, as configured, currently sells for $2564, while the similarly configured Mac G4 sells for $2870.
Simple Animation
The first test involves a simple cel-style animation. It consists of a pict file created in Photoshop that was used as a background for tracing paths, which were then animated and filled with another pict file making the pink color of the face. It's a goofy, simple animation, but it shows how well the processors can calculate the paths and render the final composite. In this test, the Athlon machine handily beat the Mac, taking 9 seconds to render the project, while the Mac took 16 seconds.

Catholics and Protestants agree that to be saved, you have to be born again. Jesus said so: "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).
When a Catholic says that he has been "born again," he refers to the transformation that God's grace accomplished in him during baptism. Evangelical Protestants typically mean something quite different when they talk about being "born again."
Regeneration (being "born again") is the transformation from death to life that occurs in our souls when we first come to God and are justified. He washes us clean of our sins and gives us a new nature, breaking the power of sin over us so that we will no longer be its slaves, but its enemies, who must fight it as part of the Christian life (cf. Rom. 6:1–22; Eph. 6:11–17).
To understand the biblical teaching of being born again, we must understand the terms it uses to refer to this event.
This tract takes a look at the teaching through Scripture, history and the teachings of the Church Fathers and contrasts it with the beliefs of the main Protestant factions.

Do you read the Bible each day? Do you wish you did?
When we've asked Bible Gateway visitors in the past about their daily Bible reading habits, many of you have told us that you want to spend time each day reading God's Word, but for various reasons you aren't. We all know those reasons well: life is very, very busy. And not every part of the Bible is easy to read and understand (Books of Moses, I'm looking at you).
If you really want to make daily Bible reading a part of your life—and the benefits of doing so are tremendous—then you've got to cultivate it as a habit. Start small, with the goal of making it part of your everyday routine.
We at Bible Gateway want to help you do that. We've put together a 30-day email devotional that will help you spend just a few minutes each day exploring the Bible.
One Day at a Time is a 30-day devotional that begins on Wednesday, May 9. Each morning, you'll receive a short devotional that contains:
- A link to a short Bible reading (usually just a few verses).
- A short, one-paragraph reflection on the reading, to help you think through what you've read.
That's it! No gigantic readings or burdensome time commitment. Just a few minutes reading the Bible before you start your day.
Click here to sign up for One Day at a Time. Just check the appropriate box near the top of the page, then scroll down to the bottom of the page to submit your email address and subscribe.
We're confident that by the time you've gone through 30 days of One Day at a Time, daily Bible reading will be a habit. (And at that point, we've got other Bible reading plans and devotionals you might want to try out.)
One Day at a Time is drawn from the NIV Once-a-Day Bible, and we're grateful to Zondervan for partnering with us to craft this special 30-day devotional.

Addressing the last points in reverse order... I think that feature that turns off ALT text is really neat. It never occurred to me with all the effort we go through to add ALT text that it's an actual problem for some folks. Very very interesting! Now on to spell checking... I personally find spelling checkers very helpful. It's true that they miss homonyms like reed vs read, but I don't make many of those errors. Most of my errors are typos that the spell checker does catch, e.g. "comlexity". And theoretically a spell checker that knew grammar could catch a lot of the homonyms. For example, it would catch eye don't and knot yet I don't know if there are any commercial spell checkers like that, but I'd be really surprised if it weren't already a senior computer science project somewhere or part of some companies marketing feature wishlist. (OK so I do make some homonym type spelling errors, like in the last sentence, but a grammatically informed spell checker would have caught it.) ------- Len At 06:40 PM 3/4/99 +0000, Silas S.

About Webinars
In this virtual classroom, participants can join in a seminar led by Poynter faculty and visiting faculty. This screencast includes live audio and a slideshow presentation in which participants can post questions and respond to poll questions posed by the host.
Perhaps one of the most notable features of the 2016 election cycle in the United States has been the lack of strong fact-checking on TV — even as online fact-checkers are gathering record traffic.
Video fact-checking is often hampered by an imperfect "translation" of online content into a script for television.
Online fact checks usually rely on long explanations filled with links to primary sources and complex graphics. Transposing this directly onto video can make for content that is confusing, boring, or both.
At the same time, the desire to make a clear and entertaining clip can lead a video fact check to gloss over nuance and do a disservice to reality.
With the support of examples of TV fact checks from all over the world, this webinar will walk you through some steps you could use to make sorting facts from fiction into content that is both rigorous and fun to watch.
What Will I Learn:
- How to find engaging TV fact-checking formats to learn from
- The key elements that can turn fact-checking into an entertaining TV format
- Which claims work best for TV fact-checking
- How to prepare to fact-check live
Who Should Take this Course:
TV producers, reporters and hosts keen to produce content about the election that is both informative and entertaining. Online video makers in a similar situation.
Course Instructor:
Alexios Mantzarlis
Alexios Mantzarlis joined Poynter to lead the International Fact-Checking Network in September of 2015. In this capacity he writes about and advocates for fact-checking. He also trains and convenes fact-checkers around the world.
As Director of the IFCN, Alexios has helped draft the fact-checkers' code of principles, shepherded a partnership between third-party fact-checkers and Facebook, testified to the Italian Chamber of Deputies on the "fake news" phenomenon and helped launch International Fact-Checking Day.

Simple Savory Lamb Stew The name says it all – it's very simple and savory (so simple you can just throw all the ingredients into a Crockpot and walk away, and it will turn out perfect; okay, well, don't forget to turn it on). If you don't like lamb (or don't have any available), no problem – this recipe works perfectly with beef or pork, as well. (Click here for additional recipes)

Dumbbell Squats Last week it was Dumbbell Presses; this week it's Dumbbell Squats. The squat is one of the foundational movements we should all be doing every day.

Great Mexican in BK
By Taline14 on 10/22/2012
Food: I like the combo of authentic Mexican dishes and seeing items such as tongue tacos and chicken liver. You'll also find less "adventureous" but equally as finger licking items like the fish tacos (Pescado Estilo Ensenada). Cocktails: Tried the Margarita de Pepinom - a seasonal cucumber, cilantro, lime margarita. Yum! Decor/Ambiance: Modern industrial. The place was full but you didn't have to yell to have a conversation. Great for an intimate dinner as well as with a group of friends. Loved the wallpaper that combines Day of the Dead imagery with Brooklyn snapshots.

Jenny Miller you've got it all wrong...WE LOVE GRAN ELECTRICA!!!
By Dumbochic on 7/14/2012
Been in the neighborhood for 7 years now and couldn't be happier with this new addition! I care about the quality of my food and where it comes from, so having a green market Mexican spot around the corner makes us all very happy campers! How can $10-12 for high end tequila and fresh juice margaritas be pricy? That's totally reasonable. I'd rather pay the extra couple bucks, than sip on a bottom shelf tequila margarita made from mix. And yes, if you're looking for piled high plates packed full of shredded cheese, sour cream and orange rice...this might not be the place for you. It's not your typical cheap Mexican. The portions reasonable and match their pricing and quality in my opinion. The crab tostada is fresh and delicious, the fish and toungue tacos are awesome, love the guacamole and they give you enough or three baskets of chips and the ribs are off the charts. Throw in the huge garden and I'd say we have a great Mexican joint! You get what you pay for and I'm happy to pay for delicious, fresh and organic green market Mexican!

Stream of Consciousness
This graffiti seemed a fitting way to illustrate stream of consciousness - ideas popping into the artist's head. I've just come from a study group at MCLL on "From Modernism to Absurdism: Joyce and Beckett." It takes me out of my comfort zone. I am usually a low-risk person - forgoing skydiving, bungie-jumping for much tamer pursuits. But when it comes to education - I take more risks. When I was teaching I got involved in online projects long before the current trend (my first online exchange was pre WWW in 1986 when I organized and helped facilitate an exchange between a class in Montreal and one in Puvirnituq. I got students involved in robotics back in the 1990s. These kinds of risks I can handle
I love to read and I love to go to see plays. I've enjoyed some Joyce in the past (though not his tomes), but Beckett! - I just didn't understand him. So this study group is definitely a risk for me - a place where I feel confused, that I have a lack of expertise, that I don't know how to read despite my love of reading. I've jumped in - in a very supportive setting, where laughter and wit accompany discussion and dissection of the texts. Who knows, I may come to love Beckett. I'm waiting to see.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Wells Fargo & Co. may get as much as 80% of Wachovia Corp.'s deposits, with the remainder likely going to Citigroup Inc., according to a published report Tuesday.
Wells Fargo WFC, -2.06% and Citi C, -2.07% which are locked in a battle to buy Wachovia WB, +6.53% are negotiating a possible split of the company, Reuters reported.
Citi could end up taking Wachovia's branches and deposits in the Northeast, while Wells may get the operations located in the Southeast, according to Reuters. The report cited a person briefed on the matter, who added the outcome is still uncertain because negotiations are ongoing.
Wells may take over a majority of Wachovia's assets, including distressed investments such as certain mortgages.
Wells is likely to get about 75% to 80% of Wachovia's deposits, while Citigroup is expected to get closer to 20% to 25% of the deposits, Reuters reported.
Wachovia, Citigroup and Wells Fargo, in consultation with the Federal Reserve, earlier this week agreed to a standstill of all litigation activities.
The parties also agreed to cease formal discovery activities, and cooperate in good faith to preserve the status quo during the litigation standstill period. The standstill agreement will end at noon on Wednesday unless it is extended.
Citigroup earlier filed a complaint against Wachovia and Wells Fargo seeking more than $60 billion in damages.
Wells and Wachovia last week announced a $15 billion merger agreement. The news came after Citi reached a deal with Wachovia to acquire the company's banking operations.
The Wells-Wachovia deal drew a lawsuit from Citi, which claimed it had exclusive rights and that Wachovia wasn't permitted to negotiate with other parties. Citi's acquisition would have seen it pay $2.16 billion in stock to Wachovia in a deal backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Wachovia shares closed off 9% on Tuesday. Wells Fargo lost about 9% while Citi slipped 13%.

Kris Allen: 'The Truth' Video Preview!
Kris Allen shoots his new music video for "The Truth" in the middle of the Californian desert.
But the weather wasn't very cooperative!
"Apparently, in the desert, when it starts raining the ground just turns into mush," the 25-year-old American Idol champ told MTV. "It started to monsoon, man! It was crazy. It was one of the biggest storms I've ever been in but it was almost kind of fun in a way. We were just standing outside, [but] I felt like we had just jumped in the pool."
Thankfully, Kris and the crew resumed taping at a later date when the weather was nicer.

HomeFootballFirst TeamNewsMascherano: "Messi will be more fresh this season"

Javier Mascherano and Martín Montoya were the two first team players chosen to talk to the press at Ullevi Stadium ahead of Barça's fourth pre-season match of the summer. Messi, the team's highest scorer of the pre-season with four goals, was the focus of attention at the start of the press conference. "Leo came back [from holiday] on form. The truth is that pre-season games are designed to get us back into our normal routine, to remember our playing habits, but a month of vacation has been good for him. He'll be more fresh this season," said Mascherano. The Argentine midfielder also talked about Tito Vilanova and noted that each player in the squad must shoulder the responsibility of ensuring a smooth transition ahead of the start of the season: "Vilanova gained a lot of importance after being named head manager. Now everyone looks to him but he's always been an important part of the team's successes. We all have to respond appropriately."One of the players promoted to the first team this season was Martín Montoya. The former Barça B player said that he's "very content to be part of the first team this year, very excited." He added, "I'll work as hard as I can so I can enjoy some playing time but Dani Alves is the best right back in the world." Montoya also showed his displeasure with the decision to not renew Luis Milla's contract as the Spanish Under 21 and Olympic team manager: "the players are at fault for what happened [at the Olympics]. We feel terrible. We'll continue to work so we can have a better showing in upcoming fixtures.""The match will help us prepare for the start of the Liga"On the match against Manchester United in Gothenburg, Mascherano said that "it's a friendly but Barça have faced Manchester before in semi-finals and finals of the Champions League. It will help us prepare for the opening match of the Liga."

"When you looked around the IPG network, you've got one specialized offering in licensing which really should be positioned in a neutral way. It makes sense to park it at Magna Global because you've already got that neutral consolidated media negotiation expertise," said Michael Nyman, CEO of Bragman Nyman Cafarelli Marketing & Public Relations and the founder of EnterSport. "Bill [Cella, Magna Global CEO] and the great work that's been done in that group will offer our licensing group greater headway and opportunity. It gets [Entersport] more integrated and more woven into the DNA of IPG and closer to their core client base."
%%PULLQUOTE_LEFT%% Andy Cohan, who currently runs the group as exec VP, becomes principal, effective immediately. Cohan continues to report to Nyman.
In less than two years, the unit has signed more than a dozen clients and has developed several programs, including George Foreman's apparel line, an exclusive license with Casual Male. The company has also launched the Maxim lifestyle program in home furnishings with licensed programs from PEM America and Z-Line Designs in the areas of furniture, bedding and bath.
