Babies are expensive, and new parents need a little bit of everything. While no one can give them the one thing they need most (sleep), a baby shower is a great opportunity to give new baby gifts that will hopefully make their lives a little easier once the baby arrives.
Gifts for Baby Showers
If the parents-to-be have a baby registry at a department store, finding new baby gifts is easy. Simply go to the store at which they've registered and ask for a printed version of their registry. You'll get a detailed list of every baby item they've suggested as gifts. Baby registries can include everything from cribs and strollers to clothing and burp cloths. Simply select an item or two that fits your budget. When you check out, tell the cashier that it's for a couple's registry so that it can be checked off the list. This helps prevent duplicate items.
If the new parents don't have a registry, never fear. It's still easy to find good baby shower gifts. For example, baby clothes are always appreciated. Consider buying clothes a few sizes up from newborn, since many people tend to buy newborn clothes as gifts and babies grow out of them so quickly.
You could also put together a bath gift set. Buy a baby tub and fill it with baby shampoos, mild soap, washcloths, a hooded towel and a bath toy. Another idea is to put together a set of classic children's books or movies.
Gifts for New Moms and New Dad Gifts
While most presents at a baby shower tend to be gifts for baby, a new mom will appreciate a few gifts that are just for her. New moms seldom think of themselves and rarely have any extra time once the newborn arrives, so thoughtful mom-specific gifts are always welcome.
One idea is to put together a hospital tote bag for the birth. Pack it with essentials and small luxuries, such as hair ties, toiletries, breath mints, non-perishable snacks, slippers, thick socks, makeup, nail-care products, and entertainment such as books or DVDs. You can even throw in a disposable camera or a journal so the new parents can record every exciting moment. Bubble baths and beauty products are also popular gifts for new moms.
Don't forget new dad gifts. Fathers-to-be are often lost in the shuffle at baby showers. Look for gifts that allow the dad to take care of the new baby without sacrificing his macho image. For example, many baby stores carry diaper bags for men that resemble duffel bags or business totes. Jogging strollers and baby backpacks are also great new dad gifts. If you want to spring for something really special, consider upgrading his camera or video equipment so that he can capture images of his new family. Finally, consider treating the couple to a night out (complete with babysitting services) so they can take a break from new-parent duties.

ICC CWC '15 Semifinal-2: Australia knocks out India
Australia beat India by 95 runs in the second semifinal of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 to book their place in the final. Australia winning the toss and batting first put on a mammoth 328/7 in 50 overs, thanks to the brilliance from Steven Smith (105) and Aaron Finch (81). The two batsmen put on a big 182-run partnership for the second wicket which really set the base for the middle and lower order batsmen to unleash themselves. India needed big partnerships and steady flow of runs if they were to win the match. They got off to a good start with Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan rotating strike and keeping the Aussies guessing. Cruising at 6 runs per over, India looked all set to chase down the big target when they hit the first roadblock. Shikhar Dhawan played a needless slice towards sweeper cover which was pounced well by Glenn Maxwell. India were then one wicket down for 76 runs at the end of the 13th over. They still had a lot of batting firepower left but the batsmen threw away their wickets cheap, playing unwarranted shots. Virat Kholi (1) departed trying to hit a short ball off Mitchell Johnson and he was quickly followed by Rohit Sharma (34) and Suresh Raina (7) who threw away their wickets as well. India at 108/4 at the end of the 23rd over, were already staring down the barrel. They needed an amazing partnership to pull them out of the rot. Unfortunately, that never happened. Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ajinkya Rahane combined well for the fifth wicket putting on 70 runs before a surprise review by the Australian team found Rahane (44) sightly nicking a Mitchell Starc delivery to wicketkeeper Brad Haddin. Ravindra Jadeja joined Dhoni in the middle but did not last long after a direct hit from Steven Smith sent him packing. Australia only needed the crucial wicket of the Indian captain to seal the game. The deadly finisher, Dhoni however kept the scoreboard ticking with singles and doubles and occasional hits. The end however was imminent and certain when Maxwell's direct hit caught Dhoni short of crease. Australia soon wrapped the game claiming the final 3 wickets for two runs as they bundled India out for 233 in 46.5 overs. Steven Smith was awarded the Man of the Match for his crucial knock of 105 off 93 balls that set the tone for Australia. Australia now faces New Zealand in the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on March 29. The Kangaroos look for a record fifth World Cup. They have won four (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007) and lost two (1975, 1996) of the six finals they have played so far.

The existence of aliens has forever been a highly debated (and highly controversial) topic within society. Many refuse to consider the possibility of life beyond what they know. Others are certain that there is far more to the galaxies than what has been seen. And there are more still who straddle the gray area between, not yet ready to follow either philosophy.
"UFOs 1973: Aliens, Abductions and Extraordinary Sightings" may help to sway their opinions.
The film offers an examination of 1973, a year filled to extraordinary events–such as the famed Pascagoula Case, which serves as its most interesting tale and charts the fates of shipyard workers Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, who were supposedly abducted. Through extensive interviews, photographic evidence and more, "UFOs 1973" seeks to explore these experiences and prove their validity. Do they succeed? The viewer will have to decide but there can be no denying that a compelling argument is made.
For those wishing for more than the common conspiracies this will prove ideal.

This track that she is cooking up is bananas!!!!
It's no secret that the DJ has become more than just the person in charge of the music, these days the DJ is the star. From headlining tours, to festivals and concerts these guys (and yes girls too but this piece is mostly for the guys) are now the main attraction. Guys want to be them and girls want to date them, but there are rules. Unspoken rules that we'll speak on right now.
1. If you're the Jealous type, don't bother !
– DJs are the life of the party, the attention will be on them as long as they provide the hits.
Girls make the clubs worth going to, clubs need girls, therefore DJs need girls. It's just how it is. If this bothers you, don't date the DJ.
2. You don't have to be at every gig !
– If you were dating a firefighter would you go to every house fire he had to put out?
How about a Surgeon, would you be in the operating room for each surgery? Exactly. DJs are like surgeons, cutting and scratching precisely on the body which is the turntable. You don't need to be there, at least not all the time. But seriously you really don't need to be there.
3. If you are not the manager, don't act like it !
-If you are the girlfriend and not the manager, stay out of the business side of things.
Don't start meddling with things you know nothing about. Show your support, be hot and spend our money.
4. Don't stand by the booth and mean-mug everyone that comes up !
-It's not a good look when you're standing by the booth and giving people the stank eye when they come up to say hello to your man. Sure most of the ones coming up are girls, and yes they are probably hotter than you, and ya most of them probably want to take your man home and do things, but you signed up for it. Deal with it.
5. If the gig ends at 2, dont call five minutes later asking where I'm at !
– See 1, 2 and 4. Don't be that girl/guy.
6. DJs have to practice, allow them to do so. In Peace !
-We know that when we DJ we look great doing it. We are always on beat, our transitions are flawless and our song selection always on point. As easy as we make this look, it does require a bit of practice. Let us do so. I'll go to Target with you later.
7. We deal with a lot of people we don't want to deal with through out the night, don't become one of them !
-Look, as much as I am concerned that Lisa from work invited that one girl that shall not be named to that function I can't remember, can we talk about it in the morning?? I just had a night full of grown men asking me to play "Call me Maybe" for their girlfriend's birthday, plus sloppy drunk chicks asking me if I know Afrojack. Of course I know Afrojack.

Facebook is under fire again over the way it handles fake news, as an Austrian court just ruled the company must remove all posts considered to be hate speech.
The ruling doesn't refer to just local posts either — the Austrian court ordered Facebook to remove hateful content globally, which makes the ruling significant even beyond the country's borders.
Austria Takes Steps Against Facebook Hate Speech
Austria's Green party, which filed the case against Facebook over insulting posts about one of its leaders, shared the news of the ruling. A court spokesman also confirmed the court's decision to Reuters.
Last year, Austria's Green party argued that hateful posts found on Facebook were defamatory insults to one of its leaders, Eva Glawischnig. The posts were from a fake account on the social network and the party argued that Facebook failed to remove them despite several complaints.
The Commercial Court of Vienna ruled for a preliminary injunction back in December 2016, ordering Facebook to remove posts considered hateful under Austrian law.
Facebook appealed that ruling, but it now seems that it lost again. The appeals court just bolstered that original ruling, noting that Facebook has to take down both the original post and all verbatim reposts.
The Austrian court didn't indicate or acknowledge that the social network is responsible for removing other similar hate speech posts, but Reuters says the Green party wants to push for such a ruling by bringing the case to Austria's highest court.
The Green party also hopes to force the social network to identify the users who have created fake accounts and to pay damages for hateful posts spread through Facebook. The party argues that the potential for winning damages would serve as incentive for people to take legal action against Facebook, considering the costs involved.
Facebook Struggling With Hate Speech, Fake News And Abusive Content
Facebook has been having a tough time curating the content distributed on its platform and has gone under fire several times over hate speech, hoaxes, fake news, abusive posts and such others. The social network received heavy criticism in Europe and other markets worldwide over the way it handles such content and despite Facebook's efforts to handle it, it's an uphill battle.
In many cases, Facebook failed to remove disturbing content in due time, indicating that its content moderation systems are overwhelmed by the number of complaints and can't deal with them properly.
On the other hand, Facebook is not the only one struggling to fight fake news, hate speech and the like. Google has also been having trouble keeping fake news at bay and Twitter has seen its fair share of false or inaccurate posts as well.
Facebook, for its part, is ramping up its efforts to curb the trend and just last week it announced plans to hire 3,000 more employees to review flagged content, since its current team of 4,500 moderators can't keep up.
While commendable, however, hiring a few thousand more moderators seems like a drop in the ocean considering the nearly 2 billion Facebook users and the sheer volume of content they distribute on the platform.

DeepLP4QApp 2014 : Workshop on Deep Language Processing for Quality Applications
|Link: http://bultreebank.org/DeepLT4QApp/
Call For Papers
First Call for Papers
Workshop on Deep Language Processing for Quality Applications
One day workshop to be held together with EACL 2014 conference
Gothenburg, Sweden, 26 April 2014
In the last decade, research on language technology applications, such as
machine translation (MT), information retrieval and extraction (also
cross-linguistic), etc. has benefited from the significant advances obtained
with the exploitation of increasingly sophisticated statistical approaches.
To a large extent, this advancement has been achieved also by encompassing a
host of subsidiary and increasingly more fine-grained linguistic
distinctions at the syntactic and semantic levels.
Thus, the NLP mainstream has headed towards the modeling of multilayered
linguistic knowledge. To leap forward in terms of the quality of its output,
machine translation and other technologies are taking advantage of enhanced
capacities for deeper analysis of natural language and massive open online
world knowledge that are now becoming available. The following initiatives
can be mentioned as best practices, among others:
* LOGON MT system from-Norwegian-to-English which uses Minimal Recursion
Semantics (MRS) and DELPH-IN deep HPSG grammar expertise for language
* Systems based on Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR);
* The ParGram parallel deep grammars and parsebanks covering several
language families in the LFG formalism;
* The development of sophisticated syntactic and semantic models, sensitive
to lexical semantics and semantic roles;
* Creation of high-quality parallel treebanks via model transfers (such as
Prague Czech-English Dependency treebank);
* Creation of deep resources, such as English DeepBank, released in 2013;
* Creation of common tagsets and thus 'universalizing' linguistic resources,
such as treebanks in Google, the HamleDT project, etc.
In the long run, richer world knowledge will be available, even beyond the
current Linked Open Data, with respect to larger datasets, richer semantics
enhanced with world facts, and more dynamic conceptual knowledge
representation. Concomitantly, the evolutive trend in Natural Language
Processing shows a strong integration of the knowledge-poor language
processing with the knowledge-rich one, supported by deep grammars and deep
language resources.
This proposal joins forces of the former Advanced Treebanking community, as
represented by the 2012 LREC Workshop on Advanced Treebanking, with the new
stream of projects aimed at high quality applications, most prominently -
Machine Translation.
The workshop invites papers on progress in the use of deep natural language
processing and resources providing deep analyses for a range of applications
including, but not limited to, machine translation.
Topics of interest
* Deep MT transfer models
* Deep processing of source language
* Deep generation using world knowledge models and/or deep grammars
* MT and IR supported by Linked Open Data
* Speech and dialog systems supported by deep processing
* Modeling deep linguistic knowledge for quality applications
* Statistical models for quality MT and other NLP-related tasks
* Development and exploitation of monolingual and parallel deep language
resources: deep grammars, parsebanks, propbanks, valency lexicons and other
deep lexical resources, ontologies etc.
* Adaptation of deep language resources to MT and other NLP-related tasks
* Knowledge-based metrics for evaluation

Therefore, before this step there is a need for you to be able to have steps accomplished beforehand.
The kind of activities that the bride is into is what you need to be able to know. You also need to make sure that you will be able to know what kind of person the bride is. Another important information that you need to be able to know is none other than her taste in music. Rock music is definitely what a country girl would love to listen to.

You will be able to soon discover that there are various occupations that are being represented. The most popular ones are the mail man, police office, doctor and fire fighter. You will for sure be able to have a bachelorette party that will be remembered because of this aspect.
It is also of great importance that you will take the time to be able to evaluate the venue of the bachelorette party. You have two options that are considered to be the best and these are the home of one of the bridesmaids or the home of bride. This is beneficial on your part for the reason that you are assured that things will not get too out of control and that people will be able to have a place for them to sleep. If it is not possible to make use of any of the homes then the best option for you would be to consider a hotel. To be able to make sure that you will not ruin the room is what you need to make sure of if this is the option that you will take.
In planning a bachelorette party, it is important that you will be able to consider the budget.

Good Morning Arizona!! We're celebrating our Governor this morning who overturned our latest Legislative embarrassment. Legislative Bill 1062 was another strike on Arizona's Equal Rights record and a blow to Arizona's business community. Disapproval was heard from across corporate america in response to the bill which claimed to protect religious freedom by empowering businesses to deny service to clients whose choices prove contrary to their own beliefs. It's legalized discrimination masquerading as religious protection.
THANKFULLY, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer got it right. Amidst pressure from the local and national business community as well as civil rights groups, Governor Brewer used her veto to reject the bill. To paraphrase a comment from today's NY Times, "In [Arizona], victory really arrives on the day when the people with money decide that discrimination is bad for business" Baby steps, Arizona. Here we go...!

Tesla has made no secret of the fact that it wants to put fully autonomous cars on roads in the next few years. The company needs the best in hardware and software to make this dream a reality. According to a new report, Tesla is now developing its own chips for self-driving cars. It's reportedly working with AMD to refine its new chip. This move is being viewed as a decision by Tesla to reduce its reliance on NVIDIA.
Tesla currently sources chips from NVIDIA that are crucial to its Autopilot semi-autonomous driving system. Tesla previously sourced chips from Mobileye, the Israel-based company that was acquired by Intel earlier this year for over $15 billion.
Citing a source familiar with the matter, CNBC reports that Tesla has received back samples of the first implementation of the dedicated self-driving chip. The desire to build its own chip is said to be aligned with Tesla's wish to be more vertically integrated and less reliant on other companies.
Heading Tesla's silicon project is Jim Keller, a veteran chip architect who has previously worked at both Apple and AMD. He joined Tesla early last year and is now the head of Autopilot hardware. Keller is reportedly heading a team of over 50 people. Tesla has brought in several AMD veterans after Keller was hired.
Tesla has not officially commented on this report.

- Client: Alfa
- Project Brief: Produce a lyric video for Alfa's single, "Fool's Gold"
For "Fool's Gold", we went for a cool aesthetic (bluish, with touches of magenta; languid movement), coupled with simple text transitions. We were furnished photos from a recent photoshoot, and since most of the pics look like they were taken in the woods, we ran with that idea. The result is a simple yet elegant lyric video that enhances the single.

Hillary Clinton crushed Bernie Sanders in the South Carolina primary and immediately turned to potential battles ahead as she offered a vision for America based on "love and kindness" in stark contrast to the anger and division promoted by Donald Trump.
Polls closed at 7pm local time across South Carolina, and within seconds the Associated Press had called a victory for Clinton.
Final polls had suggested she was heading for a victory margin of more than 27 points, but the reality was much more overwhelming – with 100% of the votes counted, Clinton led 73.5% to 26% over Sanders.
The Vermont senator had in effect conceded defeat within two hours of polls opening on Saturday when he flew out of the state, heading for Texas and Minnesota, two of the Super Tuesday battlegrounds looming this week.
With the South Carolina stage to herself, Clinton promised: "Tomorrow we take this campaign national."
And in a pointed message to Donald Trump, she said: "Despite what you hear, we don't need to 'make America great again'. America has never stopped being great. But we do need to make America whole again.
"Instead of building walls, we need to be tearing down barriers.
Relishing her victory, she set herself up first as a more rounded candidate than Sanders – "America isn't a single issue country, my friends" – and then as an optimistic counterpoint to Trump.
"I know it sometimes seems a little odd for someone running for president these days, in this time, to say we need more love and kindness in America," Clinton said. "But I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart, we do."
Associated Press exit polls showed that about six in 10 South Carolina voters were black, a demographic in which Sanders appeared to have had little cut-through. The exit polls also suggested that Clinton won 84% to 16% with black voters.
She invoked civil rights heroes Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr and John Lewis as she said America must face the reality of systemic racism in its broken criminal justice and immigration systems.
The result in South Carolina means she heads into Tuesday's contests across 12 states believing she can begin to pull away from her tenacious rival from Vermont.
Sanders took off from Dallas bound for Rochester, Minnesota, two minutes before polls closed and was in the air when the result was announced. His campaign team sat in silence at the front of the plans as members of the media in the seats behind sought a response to the result.
In a statement released by his campaign, Sanders said: "Let me be clear on one thing tonight. This campaign is just beginning. We won a decisive victory in New Hampshire. She won a decisive victory in South Carolina. Now it's on to Super Tuesday … Our grassroots political revolution is growing state by state, and we won't stop now."
After extracting a win from a virtual tie in Iowa, losing overwhelmingly in New Hampshire, and rebounding in Nevada, South Carolina gave Clinton her first big win of the campaign with just three days to go before the Super Tuesday contests, where she is poised to win handily in states with similar electorates.
Clinton worked hard in the state, dedicating much of the past week to campaigning in churches, community halls and college campuses. She was joined by a major figure in the civil rights movement, congressman James Clyburn, who refused to endorse a candidate in 2008, and other local politicians.
The mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and other black men killed by police officers also campaigned for her in the state. At almost every event, she spoke forcefully about the women's struggle.
Obama remains wildly popular among Democrats in South Carolina, and especially among black voters. Clinton sought to lay claim to the president's mantle by embracing his signature policies and emphasizing their closeness.
"I'm really proud to stand with President Obama," Clinton said at an event Kingstree on Thursday. "And I am really proud to stand on the progress he's made, because I want to build on it and go further. I will not let the Republicans rip it away and set us backwards."
But there were also signs that Clinton still has work to do. On Wednesday she was confronted at a fundraiser in Charleston by Black Lives Matter protesters, who demanded she apologize for the consequences of her husband's 1994 crime bill and for having called young black males "super-predators" in a 1996 speech on crime.
In a statement to the Washington Post, Clinton said "shouldn't have used those words, and I wouldn't use them today". Asked about the crime bill during a town hall in Charleston, she said its consequences were "serious" and she had proposed an agenda for healing some of the damage done by the law, especially to communities of color.
Sanders spent time and money on the South Carolina primary, tweaking his stump speech to include an anecdote about marching with Martin Luther King Jr, appearing at campaign events with the rapper Killer Mike and airing a radio ad from film director Spike Lee.
But Sanders' team always believed the south would be a uphill struggle compared with more progressive states in the north and west of the country. In South Carolina, Sanders duly struggled to introduce himself to voters who have long known the Clinton name.
"I don't even know Bernie Sanders. Who is that?" said one voter, T Jackson, after leaving a polling station in Hopkins on Saturday. "Nothing against him. I've never even heard of him before now. But we [have] known Hillary forever."
It was that feeling of familiarity and loyalty that drew Jackson to the polling booth on Saturday morning.
"In the last election, we were in line when they declared the winner and I hadn't even voted yet. So evidently my vote didn't count," Jackson said. "It was very disappointing. My vote doesn't matter. But I vote anyway, I voted today, hoping that it does matter."
Pattie Murray, a preschool teacher from Hopkins, was among a minority of voters who had not yet forgiven Clinton for the heated campaign she and Bill Clinton ran against Obama in 2008. Obama won South Carolina by 28 points, a victory he owed in large part to the support of black voters.
"She says that she would keep Obama's policies and everything," Murray said, "but she really bashed him when they ran against each other. In the very beginning, she was really against [him] and basically said he wasn't the person for our country. Now to get that vote, she's saying she'll continue his policy."
On the Sanders plane, as South Carolina receded into the distance, Jane Sanders told reporters the campaign would regard it as a good night if he reached 40% of Democratic voters in the state. Some in the Sanders camp were privately braced for worse than a 20-point gulf – particularly among African American voters.
"I think we're getting a lot better [at reaching African American voters] – it's just that they didn't know us," said Jane Sanders when she was asked by the Guardian why efforts to reach this crucial Democratic constituency appeared to have been unsuccessful. "They didn't know us in the south generally."
She said: "Hillary Clinton has fought three elections through these states. This is our first. From May to December, the media didn't take [Bernie] seriously. They didn't have a chance to meet him. That's not because we weren't trying, but we couldn't spend as much time in the south as we'd like."
Sanders' relatively lukewarm position on gun control also appears to have hurt the campaign in South Carolina, where memories of last summer's shooting at a Charleston church are raw, but Jane Sanders was unrepentant about the more nuanced position.
"I find it interesting that there are some states where she's hit us hard on guns and some states she's not talking about it," she said. "Bernie is saying the same thing in every state, so that everybody knows where he stands."
The Sanders team hopes to put South Carolina behind it more quickly than its setback in Nevada, in part because expectations were low but also because it remains confident of picking up large numbers of delegates – if not outright wins – on Super Tuesday.
"The mood is good. It's going as we thought," said Jane Sanders. "It's a 50-state election and the states that she is picking up are red states."
She also defended the decision to leave South Carolina so quickly. "They're just voting today. We want to get to Texas and Minnesota and it's difficult to get it all in. Time is short."
The reception in Austin, the first of two Texas rallies on Saturday, certainly appeared starkly different. Thousands flocked to a racetrack outside the liberal city to hear Sanders return to his more typical call for political revolution.
Privately, staff say the campaign hopes to pick up delegates rather than win outright in Texas, but the senator did not seem to have gotten the memo about expectations management.
"If all of you come out to vote and bring all your friends and family, we are going to win here in Texas," Sanders said, to wild applause.

Some Friday happy hour football links -- Mike Leach and the Cougs open practice
Still tough to get into football mode with the Huskies hoops team still playing. But after next week, it will be easier to focus on the gridiron.
A reminder that the Huskies are starting spring practice on April 2 and will go to April 28. All but two of those practices - April 21 at Memorial Stadium and the spring game at CenturyLink Field on April 28 - will be closed to the public.
Perhaps the biggest news is that the Cougs opened their first spring practice under Mike Leach. Christian Caple of the Spokesman will be the first mate in charge of the Spokesman's coverage.
Here's the link to more video interviews.
As expected, quarterbacks Jeff Tuel and Connor Halliday threw the ball and threw the ball often in the first practice. Brian Floyd of CougCenter looks at the QB competition.
Spokesman columnist John Blanchette writes that the practice didn't have much fanfare, but plenty of tempo. From his column ...
It just felt so much like, well, another practice.
OK, maybe not just another practice.
"The tempo was ridiculous today," cornerback Daniel Simmons said. "I never took so many reps in 7-on-7 drills. I was gassed. But I had to work through it, because that's what it's going to be like."
What do you know?
Sometimes plain old work is the way a renaissance gets started.
And the Cougars worked – the actual by-gum practicing coming in at a shade under three hours on a crisp day that saw patches of snow rimming Rogers Field.
"If you're a player, you love it," Leach said of the conditions. "You run around and don't sweat and it's fantastic. If you're a coach, you get to check out your gear and see how it fits." North Division
Cal: There's a difference in Zach Maynard in this spring practice from a year of starting. Cal has Isi Sofele and CJ Anderson returning at running back, but freshman Brendan Bigelow and three classmates are trying to make a push for playing time.
Oregon: Ducks wide receiver Josh Huff plead not guilty to DUI and other violations. Oregon begins practice on April 13. Rob Moseley is doing position breakdowns headed into spring.
Oregon State: Here' s a pre-spring roster and breakdown from the Oregonian. Cliff Kirkpatrick is doing position previews on his blog..
Stanford: My buddy Rob Rang was at Stanford's pro day and filed this report.
South Division
Arizona: Rich Rodriguez narrowed the goal posts to make his kickers focus more.
ASU: An interview with new running backs coach Larry Porter
Colorado: Sophomore Connor Wood is taking all the first team snaps in spring ball. A few days ago, Jon Embree rated his spring practices as a B+
USC: I think I tweeted about this, but it's worth mentioning again that stud wide receiver Robert Woods is sitting out spring practice. Linebacker Hayes Pullard is playing better and his coaches have noticed. Defensive back Nickell Robey said that running track has been perfect conditioning for football.
Utah: Oft-injured QB Jordan Wynn is out to prove he's durable, while two freshmen are vying for the backup spot. Columnist Kurt Kragthorpe looks at Kyle Whittingham's decision to bring in several unproven assistant coaches this year.

Now that the Unearthed Arcana has been out for a while, it's time to let Wizards of the Coast know what you think of the Races of Eberron. And speaking of Eberron, did you know that technically Warforged are Transformers? Neither did I.
Eberron continues its development cycle. With the new Adventurer's League Campaign getting ready to kick off in a few short weeks, and the Encounters in Sharn getting ready to be AL-Legal, it seems like Eberron is getting the playtest it needs in a very public venue. With all that in mind, and given that, we know that Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron will one day get locked in and be official content, now's the time to get your feedback right to Wizards of the Coast to let them know what you think of the new Races introduced in the Wayfinder's Guide.
via Wizards of the Coast
Last time, Unearthed Arcana presented Races from the world of Eberron with the kalashtar joining revised versions of the changeling, shifter, and warforged. Now that you've had a chance to read and ponder these options, we're ready for you to give us your feedback about them in the following survey. This survey will remain open for about three weeks.
This Is Playtest Content
The material in Unearthed Arcana is presented for playtesting and to spark your imagination. These game mechanics are in draft form, usable in your campaign but not refined by final game design and editing. They are not officially part of the game. For these reasons, material in this column is not legal in D&D Adventurers League events.
Take the Races of Eberron Survey
We've seen how much player feedback can impact the game before. If you enjoyed any of the subclasses in Xanathar's Guide to Everything, you've got myriad surveys to thank for that–the revisions were quick and impactful as we watched classes go from the Midway Survey (code name for XGtE) to the finished product in less than three months. So now's your chance to voice what you think about Eberron.
Think the Warforged's integrated Armor Class bonus is too powerful? They do get better than best-in-class armor options available for other races, and that's before they even pick up a shield, which they still can do–this is your chance to tell them. Think that magical robots should be the most heavily armored (potentially) creatures in the game, tell the people from the first part of this paragraph to shove it with your votes. Think they should keep the idiosyncrasies of the rules that technically make every Warforged a transformer…didn't catch that one? Let me explain.
Warforged Envoys possess an ability called Integrated Tool, which ordinarily means they can produce a set of thieves' tools or an instrument or something…but if you look on page 154 of the Player's Handbook you'll find the following:
Note the very last entry there. According to D&D, Vehicles are tools. Thus a Warforged Envoy could be created to be some kind of Transport, and turn into a boat or wagon. Technically. Now they've already said they intend to limit it to a maximum of ten pounds for an integrated tool–but if you think D&D would genuinely benefit from transformers being in the game, now's your chance to let the designers know.
Anyway, that's enough Eberron to kick off your week. Enjoy, and as always…
Happy Adventuring!

Case Note - Jackson v Leslie & Nuding [2017] EWHC 1308 - The risks of Traded Life Policies
April 2018
We were asked to act as experts in the case of Jackson v Leslie & Nuding [2017] EWHC 1308. In summary, a well-diversified pension scheme was transferred in to a single asset class of traded life policies (TLP) with a resultant effective total loss for the claimant. These are highly risky and speculative investments also known as UCIS (unregulated Collective Investment Schemes) or NMPI (Non Mainstream Pooled Investments).
This is a notable case for a number of reasons and with kind permission of Guildhall Chambers attached below is the case note by John Virgo, Counsel for the Claimant. Of note were there rejection of the defendants argument that the FCA's concerns were being applied retrospectively as in the view of the judge, HHJ Havelock-Allen QC, a financial adviser would have been aware to the risks if he was doing his job properly.

The owners are very nice and friendly and very service minded.
Property was exactly as described, but what made it extra special was the little touches provided by the owners. On arrival, a traditional cream tea and a bottle of Prosecco was waiting for us as well as tea, coffee and a little carton of milk so no need to dash to the shop. The first evening the owners lit tea lights in lanterns leading to the front door. All very sweet and thoughtful. Very peaceful location but very easy access to Mevagissey and Fowey. Would 't hesitate to recommend and would definitely stay again.
A brilliant breakaway for peace and quiet.
The minute you walk in til the minute you leave, you feel totally at home. Brilliant location. Blissfully quiet but only short drive to visit the area. Totally relaxing experience.
A lovely small and slightly quirky property which we loved. The location is ideal for heading to the North or South Cornwall coast. We had our dog with us and the hosts told us about the great dog walking area in the village that became a firm favourite with us and our dog.
Really lovely property, The Hosts were very friendly too!
St Austell is located near a stretch of coastline that is often referred to as the Cornish Riviera. The South coast of Cornwall is generally more sheltered than the wild and windswept North, and there are some excellent beaches in this area. As well as Carlyon Bay, there is also Pentewan Sands, further south, and Par beach (which is dog-friendly all year round) to the north-west. The area is very handy for both the Eden Project (excellent for families with its interactive and educational displays) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, rediscovered some 25 years ago and now restored to their former glory. The Lost Gardens are another family-friendly attraction, with a cafe, picnic area and lots of animals to see, and they also welcome dogs on leads. Carlyon Bay nestles in between two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is also close to Charlestown, a historic port which has often been used as a location for filming several TV dramas including the recent adaptation of Poldark. Venture East along the coast and you will find the towns of Looe, Polperro and Fowey, and if you head West you can visit Mevagissey. A little way inland, St Austell has plenty of shops, pubs and a cinema complex.

While I began this post while still pregnant, I did not finish it before getting admitted to the hospital and giving birth to our little bundle of joy – Mason! Thankfully I did have my hospital bag packed and ready for our early admittance, but one thing I can say is that it is hard to be fully prepared for all the possibilities that come with giving birth. I packed in preparation for a regular delivery, and ended up having an unplanned c-section! So there were several things that I packed that I didn't end up using/needing, and other things that I wish I had packed in the case that I had a c-section.
So all of that being said, the below is partially what I wrote prior to going into the hospital (so it may sound a bit strange, and I've added in some commentary to speak to that!) and some of it I have just written.
Outside of getting the nursery finished, my priority over the last week (week 38) has been getting my hospital bag ready to go. Maybe it is just my own hopefulness that I will start into labour early (ha!), but the infamous "they" do say that you should have your bag ready to go a couple weeks in advance of your due date in case! And although there are about a million checklists out there for this exact thing, I thought I would share what I have packed in my hospital bag as well since I have enjoyed reading what other mama-to-be's have decided to bring along.
I have decided to keep this post to just what I have packed for myself – not for baby or dad – as that could make for an extremely long post, as I'm sure I've overpacked for baby just a tiny bit… *shrug*
A cute hospital bag
Clearly one needs an actual bag to pack things in, and I thought, "Why not take this opportunity to get a cute new overnight bag??" I found this one at Chapters Indigo for 50% off and can definitely see myself (or the hubby!) using it plenty in the future.
Comfortable clothes for labour
Depending on whether you plan to labour drug-free or not, I have been told it is essential to have some comfortable clothing to wear for the process. At some point, that attire may switch to a hospital gown, but I can only assume that wearing my own clothing (if possible) will be more comfortable. As I can't possibly know whether I'll be boiling hot or freezing cold at the hospital, I have packed my trusty Roots sweatpants for cold and a pair of cute maternity PJ shorts for hot. I also threw in a sports bra which can also be used in the tub if I choose to hop into the whirlpool during my labour.
**To add in a post-birth thought here… I didn't actually end up wearing any of my own clothes to labour in. Essentially as soon as I told them that I would likely have an epidural (which I did) they put me in a hospital gown. But I wore these slippers the entire time I was recovering at the hospital, so that was definitely a good call! I also was glad to have brought my kimono from La Vie en Rose because it was easy to throw on and not too hot.
Labour-Friends (this is my own made up term)
There are a lot of suggestions out there for things you might like to have during your labour to make you feel more comfortable. I can't possibly imagine anything that would take my mind off the pain of contractions (I'm such a wimp) but obviously there are some items that might potentially help calm me down a little bit (outside of meds!). I have packed a heating pad (I have had back pain throughout my pregnancy, so I feel like this may be helpful), a bluetooth speaker so I can listen to music (will also have 2 types of playlists ready to go: pump up and relaxing), wireless headphones (in case no one else wants to listen!) my favourite candy/chocolate if I need a little sugar boost, and an exercise ball (most hospitals have a limited supply of these, so if there isn't one available I would like to have one at the ready).
Post-birth & Nursing attire
I am starting to talk past-tense now, because I hadn't gotten this far with my post prior to giving birth! So just so we're all on the same page… 🙂 I would have to say that my nursing attire was the most important part of my hospital bag, because as soon as I got out of my gown (which I wanted to after the first night of profuse sweating — yet another thing I had no idea was an after-affect of giving birth!) it was so nice to have my own clothes that were versatile to feed Mason in, and were also super comfy! I got all of my nursing pj's from Thyme Maternity, and I've been living in them! I've linked the pieces that are still available here, here, here and here. My favourite nursing bra is from Carry Maternity – I love that it doesn't make me feel like an old woman but it's still totally nursing friendly. Another great nursing piece from Carry Maternity is this swing back tank top which I packed as part of my "going home" outfit.
Having had an unplanned csection, I was glad to have packed some less-tight fitting underwear as well. Everyone always said to me "make sure you pack some granny panties for after birth!" but I didn't want to be living in baggy white underwear for the next several weeks, so I headed over to La Vie en Rose to see what I could find. And I found some great options that gave me full coverage while still feeling cute!
Toiletries, etc.
Another important part of my hospital bag featured some small necessities that made me feel just a tiny bit human while in the hospital: some basic makeup, shampoo/conditioner, nipple cream, disposable breast pads, and Tucks. I had exactly one shower while I was in the hospital (post c-section it is a struggle just to get out of the bed let alone take a shower!) but was happy to have some of my Aveda shampoo samples instead of a generic hospital soap. I packed just a few basic makeup essentials that I applied minimally on my second day when we were having some visitors… Just so I didn't look 100% how I felt (which was like a walking zombie!). And finally I brought with me 2 different types of nipple cream, which in the end didn't do the trick for me and I got a prescription for Jack Newman's nipple cream (if any mama's out there are struggling with sore nipples from breastfeeding, this is seriously the miracle cream!!!).
So there you have it – my (belated) hospital bag post! I just couldn't bear to not post it after spending the time writing most of the post, plus taking all the photos! 😉 So I hope this helps some of you mama's out there that are still preparing for your babe's arrival… I will end by saying, it's better to overpack than underpack!

The effectiveness of visual display can not be over emphasized. A lot has changed in the way we make purchases, market and advertise, communicate, and even in the way we study. And almost in all these circumstances people want more visual scenes than they want to hold papers with texts. Remember those times when you finished telling your family and friends how your daughter's birthday celebration went and they still ask if you have an online photo book somewhere they can see? Yes, because of the visual appealing and entertaining power of images. All images and videos can be edited with the right software. Such products of course cost a lot of money, but thanks to a pinnacle studio promo code, video and photo editing can be very affordable.
Now it is one thing to have saved some memory in visual form, and yet another to have a smart means of sharing them with friends and family. Blurb, SmugMug and ShutterFly are three known photo album sites where you can create your own photo books and share them with others. If you are an Android fan, like myself, here are the top 3 photo sharing applications, each for one of the sites mentioned above, you sure want to have in your device as they make photo sharing a bliss.

text: This past Wednesday night London producer TroyBoi sold out Euphoria Bassmnt. It was something like a dream for the Portland scene, a hyped up crowd with a line down the block eagerly waiting to get in. The night show brought in tons of people looking for nothing but a good time.At these types of events no one is passing judgment, foolproof conditions to get groovy to, reminiscent of What The Festival (our favorite festival of all time). Portland's Benny Rox kicked the night off with a really solid set, always holding his own next to international talent.Then, well after midnight, TroyBoi took over the stage with his wonky-style trap beats. Unafraid to grab the mic, step in front of the turntables, and be his own hype man, he's a vet in front of any crowd. His interaction game is on point, garnering love from the front to the very back of the venue, even finding time to jump into the crowd and gives daps and take selfies.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday passed by without a word from us at SF, so I want to just jot down some quick personal thoughts.
I first saw Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech in 10th grade in my world cultures class Or maybe it was contemporary problems. Regardless, I remember the classroom because the teacher who showed it to us was my favorite teacher in high school, Scott Pettis from Middletown High. The speech had a profound affect on me. I was just at the age, 15, when my values and thoughts outside my own little world were starting to come together and gel, and Dr. King's words reinforced many of the values I was already starting to embrace.
Few speeches have moved me in that way since, although Barack Obama's speech at the 2004 DNC convention gave me a similar feeling. (Note: That is not an endorsement. We are non-partisan, after all.)
Embracing Dr. King's legacy is a common practice now. Public officials of all types and stripes laud his accomplishments and his message. Sadly, Dr. King's message seems lost on many of those same public officials the other 364 days of the year.
These officials forget Dr. King's message when they implement policies of mass incarceration, which have disproportionately affected minority communities. We're losing an entire generation of black men- men who are my age- to the prison industrial complex with 1/3 (or so) of young black men in the custody of the Department of Corrections in one form or another. According to a board member of the NAACP of PA, there were 80,000 African-Americans in prison at the time of the Brown v. Board of Education, and today there are more than one million.
These officials forget Dr. King's message when they continue to prop up the broken system of capital punishment, which adversely affects the poor and minorities, and refuse to fund our state's public defender system. Nine of every 10 people on death row in PA were too poor to afford an attorney at trial. A defendant represented by the public defenders' office in most counties in the Commonwealth will meet with his/her lawyer for the first time just a few minutes before his preliminary hearing.
These officials forget Dr. King's message when they try every trick imaginable to suppress the vote of minorities and the poor. Dr. King believed in expanding the vote. Some of our elected officials believe in restricting the vote through photo ID requirements, limited voting machines in poor precincts, felon disenfranchisement, and other regressive policies.
And there are numerous non-ACLU issues which show a lack of appreciation for Dr. King's legacy. I won't get into them here since this is ACLU territory, but you know what they are.
ACLU-PA appropriately designates Dr. King's birthday as a holiday, but, frankly, I wouldn't mind working because this work is about carrying on his legacy. I did spend Monday doing something that felt appropriate for the occasion, but it is imperative that those of us who care about carrying on Dr. King's message of hope and freedom in the 21st century find ways to do that all year long.

Mutual-Fund Giant Is Spending, But Some Advertisers Don't Buy It
NEEDHAM, Mass. -- There are no newspapers in the lobby of the Community Newspaper Co. headquarters here.
Left out by themselves, newspapers get "ragged," says CNC Chief Executive William R. Elfers. The company searched for a display case. It leaned toward mahogany, but "from an aesthetic standpoint," Mr. Elfers explains, officials couldn't agree on anything they liked.

3 Tips for Wearing Denim on Denim with Confidence
Certainly not a new trend but definitely a rising one, the cowboy-chic look has been blowing up on runways and Pinterest boards alike, according to the Pinstyle Report, which was released today. Here are three style tips for keeping your ensemble elevated. (And for more fall fashion inspiration, head to our style board.)
RELATED: The Most Popular Fashion Trends of Summer 2017 (According to Our Pinterest Feed)
Keep the Silhouettes Fresh
A denim jacket with boot-cut jeans will always make you look ready to rope cattle. Instead, be sure to choose more modern pieces like a denim tee, pencil skirt, skinny jeans or even a trench coat.
Mix and Match Different Washes
Wearing a chambray top with dark-wash jeans or a white denim skirt with an indigo tank keeps things interesting and fashion-forward.
If You're Going to Wear Similar Shades, Be Sure to Break Them Up
For example, a jacket and jeans in the same wash no longer look or feel overwhelming when separated with a textured knit and standout bag.

Report the species
→ Report Impatiens parviflora to the National Museum of Natural History.
Importance and distribution in Luxembourg
Distribution map of Impatiens parviflora DC. in Luxembourg. Recorder-LUX & iNaturalist, 2019.08.21.
The species was first documented in Luxembourg in June 1956 on the right bank of the river Attert in the municipality of Redange (Reichling 1958). However, the herb is so widespread in Luxembourg's forests that its presence seems natural and it is thus seldom reported. This explains why by 2012 only 81 observations of the species in Luxembourg were listed in the Recorder database, even though I. parviflora is found in most forest areas in Luxembourg.
Most of the current 358 observations in the database (18/01/2018) have been collected during systematic inventories along the main watercourses in 2013. The actual distribution map for the species is thus only a partial indication of its real distribution in Luxembourg since indications of most of the numerous populations in forest areas are missing.
Two other alien balsam occur in Luxembourg, the invasive Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera), which is widespread in riparian ecosystems and forests across Luxembourg, and Balfour's touch-me-not (Impatiens balfourii), first observed in 2016 in the wild in Luxembourg.
Small balsam is a herb that is widely dispersed in European forests. It prefers shaded and moist nutrient-rich stands, but can also grow in acidic conditions. It thrives in beech and alder forests, but can also be found in parks, along hedgerows, on forest edges, in waste grounds and ruderal habitats (Source: http://ias.biodiversity.be/species/show/66).

Deified Goddess of the Human Soul
One will wonder if which one stands out more: the massive circular butterfly garden surrounding the glass-domed rotunda of Psyche's Cabin or if it's the other way around. Nonetheless, let's go over each location.
First, anyone visiting the abode of Psyche's children will be greeted by neatly trimmed bushes, shrubs, and hedges, which are dotted with countless species of flowers and are homes to an abundance of butterflies flying endlessly around. It forms a grand circle that ends in a white arched trellis that provides the entrance to the premises. Inside the perimeter of the circle is just as grand. Colorfully painted benches and tables rest under the shades of low-lying trees scattered throughout the garden. Standing between the trellis and the cabin is a three-tiered marble fountain spewing sparkling water. On top of the fountain is the statue of Eros holding Psyche in her arms, both of which are sculpted in all their godly glory. The garden alone seems to emanate a soothing effect to one's mind and soul. As such, it is an optimal venue for meditation, rest, or simply recreation.
Second, is the rotund cabin itself. Made of immaculately polished marble, ionic columns stand firmly to form the porch. At the foot of each column is a flower pot nestled on a bronze tripod and at the ceiling hangs numerous lanterns that glow a different hue depending on the general mood of the camp. Meanwhile, the door itself is quite simple. It is made of varnished poplar wood with a golden doorknob, while the head of a cherub pops out from its upper frame. The general design of the door seems to fool the visitor of the cabin's true wonder inside.
Upon entering the cabin, the first thing one will behold are eight stained glass windows that reach up to three storeys high, even though the cabin outside looks as if it only has one floor. Each window depicts a section of Psyche's life. Instead of a plain roof, a stained glass dome sits at the top, which depicts a giant butterfly in flight. The scenes of each window are enchanted to move as if they are alive. Meanwhile, the first floor of the cabin is the common room for Psyche's children. Only a few simple furniture such as white sofas and tables are neatly arranged in a circle at the center of the room. The second and third floors are then made for the campers' rooms. These can be accessed through a spiral staircase. Whenever a new resident arrives, a new room is made while keeping the cabin's size intact. Finally, at the end of the staircase is a door that leads to a small balcony. A decent view of camp can be seen from here, but is not that good of a vantage point.
Meet the Campers!
(To edit this list, go here)
Year Round Members
Campers Not Year Round
(Officially Inactive Users)
(Only 1 Per Cabin, if they are a demigod, they also go under the main cabin count as well as here.)
Left Camp
After 3 Months
After 6 Months
After 9 Months
Cabin Activities & Duties
(Special announcements by the counsellors are to be placed here, like welcoming new members, saying goodbye to leaving members, birthdays, etc. Also put here if there's an ongoing counsellor spot challenge and maybe encouragement to go to events (like the new halloween one) and saying good luck to those who joined the battle royale and congratulating those who won and maybe like an IC call to eat dinner outside or ice skate etc.)
Here, it's like for example, there's a schedule activity for a certain day. Like every Mondays and Wednesdays, there's a scheduled morning jog at 5 am, and then at 10 am, there's swordfighting practice. Then every Tuesdays and Thursdays, they train in fighting WHILE flying and then maybe pegasi riding lessons etc.
Unlike the cabin announcements, this is pretty much scheduled and is like the daily activities that campers do while at Camp. So it really needs to have something to do with training, while on the cabin announcements, you can put there recreation stuff also.
Things that the cabin runs in Camp, like what are they in charge of (Infirmary for Apollo, Armory for Heph etc). Also put here assigned tasks like who goes on watch at what time.
