Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund 3 Hoffenheim 2
Robert Lewandowski enjoyed a thrilling Signal Iduna Park leaving party as Borussia Dortmund edged Hoffenheim 3-2 on Saturday.
The 25-year-old Poland striker, who will join Bayern Munich at the end of the season, failed to get on the scoresheet in his last home game for Dortmund, but his team-mates stepped up in the Bundesliga's penultimate round.
In a match of little importance – Dortmund and Hoffenheim had already been assured of finishing second and in mid-table before kick-off respectively – the visitors stormed into an early lead through Roberto Firmino.
However, a Kevin Grossreutz curler, a rare header from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Lukasz Piszczek's half-volley ensured Jurgen Klopp's men will enter their final league game of the season at Hertha Berlin with a chance of breaking the 70-point barrier.
Niklas Sule's goal sent nerves through the home crowd, but the day nevertheless belonged to Lewandowski, who joined Dortmund from Lech Poznan in 2010 before firing them to back-to-back Bundesliga crowns.
The Poland international received flowers and a giant poster of himself before kick-off, had his name chanted throughout, and was substituted to a standing ovation in stoppage time.
Dortmund have now scored 17 goals in their last six Bundesliga games, while Hoffenheim's rollercoaster season provided another clash full of highlights.
Klopp claimed he only had "15 fit players" going into the game, but he was able to welcome back left-back Marcel Schmelzer following a groin injury.
Hoffenheim were without suspended second-top scorer Anthony Modeste, but it took their leading marksman just four minutes to break the deadlock.
Kevin Volland's dummy freed Firmino, whose strike from inside the box gave goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller no chance - the Brazilian grabbing a 15th goal of the Bundesliga season.
It should have been 2-0 on seven minutes. Volland received the ball inside the box and side-stepped Weidenfeller, only to see his close-range strike cleared off the line by the sliding Mats Hummels.
Dortmund turned a deficit into a 3-1 lead with three goals within five minutes around the hour mark.
Sokratis broke up a Hoffenheim attack, carried the ball forward and freed Grossreutz, who curled a fine effort into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
Just two minutes later, Reus received the ball inside the box, looked up and dinked the ball onto the head of a diving Mkhitaryan, who powered it home.
And Piszczek increased Dortmund's lead after a frantic spell, pouncing on a loose ball and half-volleying the ball just inside the post.
Grosskreutz went close to a second just before the hour, but the visitors retained a threat, Volland's touch deserting him when on goal, allowing Sokratis to intercept.
And Sule did get Hoffenheim back into the game on 65 minutes though. The 18-year-old unleashed a fierce drive from 30 yards which, although directed straight at Weidenfeller, somehow slipped through the FIFA World Cup hopeful's legs.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's cross almost gave Lewandowski the chance to score the goal he so desired, but an interception left him on 101 goals in 185 appearances for Dortmund.
And with Dortmund controlling the game in stoppage time, an emotional Lewandowki left the field to a standing ovation and hug from Klopp.

Libraries Are The Best Counter To Piracy... So Of Course Publishers Are Trying To Limit Them
from the that-other-foot-still-looks-perfectly-functional! dept
Instead of heeding Tim O'Reilly's 10 year old lesson that making content available in desirable places under terms that users accept is the most profitable path, publishing has implicitly decided to attempt to control something they have no adequate understanding of, and can never really control: computing and the internet. They've shot themselves in the foot.But, from there, he notes that they're actually making it even worse... by going after libraries. This is something that we had recently written about as well. Publishers are increasingly trying to limit what libraries do. But as Brantley notes, libraries are actually a great weapon against unauthorized file sharing, so trying to limit them is doubly stupid:
And what I find most darkly amusing is that they weren't content to stop there. The one place in the book distribution ecosystem where piracy is most efficiently defeated, where users have access to content for free but under carefully controlled circumstances, have been libraries. Libraries have always been the best counter to piracy. And instead of cementing a relationship with libraries that works to the benefit of all parties, publishers have steadfastly withdrawn the ability of libraries to provide free content, even when it is available for only limited borrowing periods, or only a restricted number of titles, with severe constraints on sharing and copying. Instead, they have indicated an interest in the commercialization of libraries by encouraging rental models.This is all too common in the legacy entertainment business. Rather than understanding stuff, they just keep shooting themselves in the foot. Even worse? They then blame everyone else for it, too.

Remember the protein shakes I talked about in my previous post? Well, I had to share the awesome results my friend Cindy had. She lost 22 pounds just replacing 2 meals a day with the yummy shakes (+ 1 regular meal a day still). She also got into the business side by selling the shakes and earned a FREE BMW. Pretty cool huh? Here are her results:
If you want to learn more about how to buy the shakes or sell them, let me know! You can find more info about prices and the program here. Our web series about the program is here.

Wentworth Miller Gets His Caffeine Kick
Wentworth Miller picks up some coffee from Starbucks while walking around West Hollywood on Tuesday (February 2).
The 37-year-old Prison Break star just completed the zombie flick Resident Evil: Afterlife, which is based off a popular video game series.
Along the same lines, it looks like Wentworth might be associated with another popular video game, Bioshock. Although there are still no confirmations, back in May rumors started to surface that the actor was trying to land a role.
The video game is about a plane crash survivor named Jack who discovers an underwater city filled with mutated monsters and lethal robots.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) Neymar and Luis Suarez played for the first time since their dramatic World Cup exits, with the Brazilian star scoring twice Monday and showing no signs of his devastating back injury in Barcelona's 6-0 rout of Mexican champion Leon in a preseason tuneup.
The last time Suarez played he infamously bit an Italian opponent at the World Cup, drawing a four-month ban from competitive matches.
The Uruguayan striker, who has since transferred to Barcelona from Liverpool, was cheered by his new fans at Camp Nou during introductions. He entered as a substitute in the 75th minute to more applause.
Neymar hadn't played since fracturing a vertebra during the World Cup on July 4, ruling him out of the rest of the tournament. He was deemed fit to play hours before the game against Leon.
Neymar set up Lionel Messi's third-minute score before adding goals in the 12th and 44th minutes. He was substituted at halftime before Barcelona youth forwards Munir El Haddadi scored in the 54th and the 77th and Sandro Ramirez added another in the 89th.
Suarez and Neymar were greeted warmly when introduced. The Uruguayan even received a smattering of ''Suarez! Suarez!'' chants from some fans, whose enthusiasm for the new signing was exceeded only by that shown for Messi.
While Neymar shone in his return, Suarez was limited to just a few touches in his 15 minutes. He practiced for the first time with Barcelona on Friday, a day after the Court of Arbitration for Sport softened his ban.
Both of Barcelona high-profile's forwards figured in two of the most remarkable moments of this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
Neymar was kneed in the back by Colombia defender Juan Camillo Zuniga in a 2-1 quarterfinal win that left him writhing in pain. Suarez sunk his teeth into Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder and later was suspended for the third time in his career for biting an opponent.
On Thursday, the sports court lessened his FIFA-imposed suspension to allow Suarez to practice and play exhibitions for Barcelona following his $130 million move.
Monday's game likely will be the last Suarez plays before his ban expires Oct. 25. Barcelona opens the Spanish league against Elche on Sunday.

I'm definitely, more readily catching on to when I'm about to take on someone else's emotions & have been able to stop myself & send it back to them. I can tell you that Lisa's Grounding Visualization lass is well worth paying attention to. You receive the recording of the class afterwards & can freshen up on what was taught. Also, Lisa sends you the guided visualization itself which is, in my estimation, pretty much priceless. I can't say that I've gotten really efficient at any of this yet, but I am seeing steady improvements for which I am very grateful.

I joined Practicing Solutions for Highly Sensitive Souls about 3 months ago. The revelations I have made reading the offered articles and other group members' posts have changed my life.

I've watched the recording last night, and i must say that you, Lisa, are one of the nicest, most down to earth, funny, practical , empathetic person that I've known. I loved everything about the recording including the cat meowing and the dog barking!! :)) your detailed way of explaining things and the entire program was tremendous. what I loved the most about the presentation was your explanation for the guided visualization in the forest.... I totally and completely loved your guiding of how to ground ourselves.!!! Like you, I will start saying to myself, add more layers, add more layers.... also, thank you for the PDF file!! I will definitely work on doing my own visualization in detail... you're awesome!

I joined Lisa Prosen's group, Practical Solutions for the Highly Sensitive Soul a few months ago. I can say with great conviction that my life has been blessed by Lisa's online group. It is Lisa's genuine concern to make a positive and lasting difference in the lives of ordinary people, that really turns out 'happy folks' from people who were sad and depressed. I so appreciate Lisa's expertise. I really want to learn from her expert talent as I can relate to her manner of thinking.

I could never thank you enough for the beautiful light you are in my life. I learned so much from you, it has seriously changed my life! I thank God for you! Thank you for your guidance, for coaching me in learning how to better my life. I will always carry with me all I've gained from you. God continue to bless you as you lead others into Truth!
- Dianne Heimberger
For the very first time, I was able to handle an emotionally charged situation without so much as flinching. It was a wonderful feeling! Now that I'm getting more "in the know" on how I operate under duress and trying to figure out why, things seem to be coming together slowly.... It was the other person's problem, not mine. I normally would "FEEL" how the other person was feeling and how he would spill his bad vibes into the room over something so trivial. I normally would have internalized his feelings of frustration and anger and feel horrible for him, all while wanting to hide away from it physically. (And usually did) I did not act nor react. I simply closed my eyes, took a cleansing breath through my nose and "unclaimed" those feelings while staying calm myself! Afterwards I applauded myself inside my head and gave a smile to myself. I'm sure later today I will get an apology for the unkindly behavior. Thank You for the Solutions I practice for sensitive souls, Lisa Prosen, and all fellow page followers for all your

LONDON — Six environmental activists scaled Western Europe's tallest building on Thursday to protest drilling in the Arctic by oil companies — and were arrested after reaching the top.
It took the female climbers 15 hours to reach the top of the 310-meter (1,017-foot) tower on the south bank of the River Thames in London.
Once they reached the summit, two of the activists unfurled a flag which read "Save the Arctic."
Shortly after, London police, who had been on the scene since dawn monitoring the situation, said the six protesters were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass.
John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace U.K., said it was an honor to witness their "remarkable achievement" in the name of protecting the Arctic.
Greenpeace said the climbers were from Britain, Canada, Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands and Belgium.
It said the Renzo Piano-designed 72-story Shard had been chosen because it looms over the London offices of Royal Dutch Shell PLC, which has drilled for oil in the Arctic Sea off Alaska.
The skyscraper, which opened earlier this year, was kept open throughout the climb.

Building a Chrome Extension
Budget $30-250 USD
The task is to create a Google Chrome Extension that scrapes 5 numbers off a dynamic page of a specific public website currently opened in the web browser, runs some calculations on them (based on formulas that I will provide), and presents the results in a table format. The numbers appear always in the same place on each dynamic page. I will share the website and the details regarding data points and formulas with the selected candidate.
To give an example of another website how this would look like: The widget would be programmed specifically to grab e.g. the price, rating, number of reviews, number of questions and number of answers from a detail page similar to this ([url removed, login to view]), then do 15 calculations with those numbers, and present the results in a table format.

MINDLab will also develop new forms of teaching and sharing of knowledge, exploiting crucial synergies across traditional disciplines.
LEVYNA – the Laboratory for the Experimental Research of Religion – has posted an interview with Roepstorff where he discusses his synthetic work in neuroanthropology.
It's a real pleasure to hear Roepstorff, as I've never met him in person. Big hat-tip to Micah Allen for bringing the video to my attention.
If you want more from Roepstorff, you can access a list of all his publications here. One of the best overviews of his approach to neuroanthropology is the paper co-authored with Jörg Niewöhnerc and Stefan Beck, Enculturing brains through patterned practices (pdf available here).
LEVYNA also features a series of interviews with other great scholars, including Harvey Whitehouse and Paulo Sousa.

You can apply for online payday cash advance that are meant to provide short term financial assistance. Ranging between $200 to as much as $1500, these unsecured payday loans do not require collateral, and they are among the easiest way to get a guaranteed loan with bad credit. There is no restriction on how you use the money from a payday loan and people usually use them to carry through till their next paycheck.
If you are unable to find long term installment loans due to poor credit history, then the best place to borrow 1500 dollars with bad credit is to use a 30 day payday loan for $1500. Most online loan lenders will be able to let you extend a loan for more than 30 days by paying the finance charge. Therefore, even though it may seem that online payday loans have a short repayment term, it is actually possible to extend and get a monthly installment payday loan for more than 100 days.
My advice is that if you need to borrow 1500 dollars and pay it back monthly, you should avoid short term cash advance loans that is secured by your paycheck. You can search for installment loan lenders with 6 month loans at least, but bear in mind that these direct installment lenders will likely run a credit check on you.
As such, the best place to get a 1500 dollar loan with bad credit comes down to how quickly you need it as well as variables, such as the length of period and cost of using a long term payday loan.
You can find out how much it will cost to borrow 1000 dollars with a payday loan by signing up with our affiliated loan lenders. There is no fee for asking for a quote and you can quickly find out the rates and terms for an online 1500 dollar loan with no faxing. Our trusted direct payday lenders have a high approval rate and many people with very bad credit are able to use their service to get an emergency loan quickly, without much hassle.

Dear Dr. Don, I'm 28, employed and preparing for the next step in life. Primarily, I want to begin saving for a future home and family. Here's what I've done so far: I have a Roth individual retirement account that has a $1,800 balance, and I plan to invest another $1,800 this year. I also have a 401(k) plan with a $23,000 balance. And I have an extra $550 left over every month that I'd like to invest. Where should I put this money? Should I deposit it into my IRA, my 401(k) or another savings account for my house?
Continue Reading Below
Thank you,
-- K.B. Bungalow
Dear K.B., First, make sure you're contributing enough to your 401(k) so you're receiving the maximum company-matching contribution.
Then, take a look at your Roth IRA. A first-time homebuyer can take out up to $10,000 from a Roth IRA with no penalty tax on the distribution. However, your account must be "seasoned," or established for five years, before you can take money out as a qualified distribution.
Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax dollars, so you won't owe income tax or penalty tax on the distribution of contributions. It's the distribution or investment earnings that may trigger income taxes and a penalty tax if the account isn't seasoned. Figure 2-1 in Internal Revenue Service Publication 590 is a flow chart you can use to walk you through the tax implications of any early distribution.
If you meet the account-seasoning requirement for the Roth IRA, you could channel the $550 per month into that account up to the annual contribution limit of $5,000. Even with your existing balance of $1,800, it would take more than two years to reach the $10,000 limit for the first-time homebuyer's exemption.
If you have any money left after investing in your 401(k) and Roth IRA, I suggest depositing the money into a taxable account. The sooner you expect to buy that first house, the less risk you should take in investing this money. A high-yield savings account could be your best choice with a planned purchase within the next two to three years.
Also, when buying a home, please consider a Federal Housing Administration loan versus a conventional mortgage. You can get an FHA loan with a 3.5% down payment -- well below a conventional mortgage. If you expect housing prices to recover in your market, then you could save thousands of dollars if you buy a home soon.
While many 401(k) plans let you borrow against them for a down payment, the loans become immediately payable should you leave that company's employment. You can't withdraw the money to use as a down payment, so it's not the preferred vehicle for saving for a down payment.

UK Tabloids: Naked Pics of Tom Daley Leak Online A Year After Reports of Tryst
Alleged naked photos of British Olympic diver Tom Daley reportedly leaked online, nearly a year after U.K. tabloids reported on a "tryst" the athlete had with a fan.
The nude selfies were taken in 2016 before Daley married his partner, Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, according to The Sun.
"They are from a time where they split for a few months, which they have both talked about previously, but they reunited," a source told the newspaper of the photos.
Daley, 23, and Black, 43, married in May 2017.
In February 2017, the couple admitted to The Sun that they were back together after a secret seven-month break. Their interview came after an explicit Snapchat video surfaced online, showing Daley in his underwear.
The men said they took a break while Black was in America filming the LGBT history miniseries "When We Rise." They said they agreed they wanted to refrain from being in a long-distance relationship.
"I mean, being very frank, I was out of the country for about seven months last year," Black told The Sun at the time. "I'd been back and forth before that too, and in that time Tom and I took a decision to take a bit of time off."
During the break, Daley connected with a fan on social media.
"It was the distance. It's not like I actually met up with anyone," the diver told the newspaper in February. "I'm 22 years old, and if you talk to someone through social media it is what it is. It was nothing more than that. We never physically met."
The Sun reported at the time Daley's relationship started in February 2016, a few months after the couple announced their engagement.
"...in the modern world this is what can happen - things are more accessible online, and distributed, and they spread like wildfire," Daley added. "People are just exploring and finding out what can be done and how easy it is to not even think about what you're doing online."
Daley and Black officially tied the knot in May at Bovey Castle in Devon, England.
Daley has yet to react to the recent tabloid coverage of the alleged nude photos.

It's All About the Fans at NHMS
There are plenty of good reasons why New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a unique sporting venue compared to other stadiums and entertainment centers in New England. Is it the food and souvenirs? Is it Milo the Moose? Or is it the community of NASCAR fans that travel from far and wide to attend the Camping World RV Sales 301 Sprint Cup Series race weekend?
The Magic Mile has provided a number of fan amenities for fans' convenience during race weekends.
Not only does NHMS provide free parking, but fans are able to camp out on the property with campers and RV's to provide an excellent atmosphere for NASCAR fans all over the country to come together before, during and after the races.
Don't want to leave the pup at home? Dog and pet stations are provided on the property. Unless the pet is a service animal, all other pets are permitted in the camping areas only with a leash. The speedway loves our pets, we only ask that fans remember to bring plenty of food and water for your loved one and remember to be mindful of your neighbors and clean up after it. Also, as the summer progresses and the temperatures rise, RV's should be closely monitored to ensure that any animals inside are left comfortable with plenty of food and water during the hot race days.
Another reason why NHMS differs from other venues is that fans are allowed to bring in their own personal coolers filled with food and beverages to ensure that fans don't miss a second of their favorite drivers speeding passed the grandstands. Coolers can be 14 inches and under and must not be locked. Glass bottles and containers are also not permitted.
Because NHMS is such a large property, (the infield is bigger than Gillette Stadium and Fenway Park combined), scheduled trams, buses and handicap golf carts are provided during race weekends. There are 14 stops along three different routes - each labeled red, blue and yellow - and 16 running trams, including two handicapped trams.
On Thursday, July 10 the tram will start up at 9 a.m. sharp. Friday, Saturday and Sunday the tram will start at 7 a.m. and stops everyday two hours following the last checkered flag event. The tram schedules vary on each event; please refer to the schedule and the tram stops and route map below.
These are just a few reasons why it's not the same when you visit New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

In certain instances, system operation problems can be cyclical, many times correlating with utility or facility power system operation. Other times, operational problems are intermittent, coming and going without any pattern or apparent correlation.
The latter usually indicates a wiring and/or grounding problem that allows multiple pathways for circulating electrical noise to exist. As a result, this noise interferes with sensitive signal circuits. Because these circuits may not be protected from such phenomena, the control signals become disrupted or corrupted. This can be the case even in well-designed power distribution systems, such as those having dedicated circuits and shielded isolation transformers feeding electronic control equipment. Let's take a look at an example of such an installation.
Frozen food processor case history
A medium-sized food processing company was experiencing operating problems with conveyor systems that moved product through the preparation process. The conveyors were powered by three 5-hp variable-speed drives that were newly installed. Drive system speed was a function of the level of production. Disturbances to the conveyor systems were so severe that their controls had to be manually reset for production to continue.
The facility manager, being somewhat knowledgeable of the problems associated with the presence of harmonics, believed he had a harmonic interaction on his electrical distribution system, primarily due to the installation of the new nonlinear loads in the form of the variable-speed drives. However, a site inspection revealed that the drives were the only nonlinear loads in the processing area, and a 3,000kVA transformer fed the facility. The small number of nonlinear loads relative to the electrical service size eliminated this as the problem source.
Voltage and current measurements were then taken at the building service entrance, using a true rms measurement device, and found to be well within specified operating parameters and capacity.
Using a harmonic analyzer, current THD of less than 2% was documented. In addition, measurements of individual harmonic distortion (in current) for odd harmonics up to the 21st were taken — each measured less than 3%. A study of the utility distribution system's operation over the prior three months revealed no correlation between its operation and the conveyor shutdowns.
Were isolation transformers doing their job?
Based on the visual inspection, as noted above, it was quite apparent that much thought had been given to the installation, power quality wise. Yet, the facility still experienced conveyor operation problems — it seemed that electrical noise was somehow getting through.
The next step was to verify that the isolation transformers were indeed providing noise rejection and a stable ground reference. Using a true rms multimeter, a voltage measurement was taken between the case of one drive control system and the power system neutral. You would expect a measurement of zero volts at this point but, instead, 35V was measured. Measurements at the other two drives were the same.
Figure 1 shows the proper wiring of these isolation transformers. Notice how the incoming ground, shield, core, and secondary neutral are all bonded at one point. This is called "single point grounding." This point is then bonded to the building ground system.
When the covers of the transformers were removed to verify their wiring connections, a different grounding scheme was found, as shown in Fig. 2. The neutral was not bonded to the single point ground, and the transformer was not locally grounded to the building system ground. When these missing connections were made, the neutral-to-case ground voltage returned to zero, and the unexplained conveyor upsets ceased to occur.
The above case history shows the difference between a power-related anomaly, which repeats in a cyclical manner, and a disturbance that exhibits random or transitory behavior. Here, the end-user did not think the problem was wiring-related, what with the installation of dedicated circuits and shielded isolation transformers. Mistakenly, the transitory disturbances were attributed to harmonics.

It looks like Lock & Lock has released new bento sets in four colors.
Good old Lock & Lock Korea!
I'm guessing you mean these which are available with and without bottles
The reason is that they have more colours and designs - which are new to me at least
(I have a blue/green striped one which is looking quite dated now!)
Drat! I'm sorry I looked at this site - now I'm lusting after a lock&lock baby bento:
WOW! You guys are killing me with all these products. My kitchen cabinets have been overrun with bento stuff. My husband is ready to see a lawyer :)
I have to get the baby locknlock for my 8 month old! Thanks for posting!
Or perhaps you mean these bento boxes with bags:
I am sorely tempted - but the shipping cost stops me from pulling out my credit card. That , and the fact that I have a few bento boxes that I have yet to christen.
Yes, the shipping costs of this seller ARE outrageous ! Maybe the bubble wrap is gilded or something! Lol! I'd love to have one of the older-style sets that were listed today - but I don't need any more boxes either. I already have too many, and I have even more sitting in my cart at Bento and Co. They are for my daughter though (*wink*)
I don't understand why $9 for shipping from S Korea is considered outrageous.
Admittedly I don't read Hangul so can't see the Korean postal prices, but Japan Post does have an English section in their website. It would cost 780yen to send a package weighing 700grams by the cheapest method - about $8.25.
The L&L bento without the consumer packaging I have weighs around 700g. The non gilded bubble wrap and the brand new box would weigh at least 200g. Factor in also the cost of the bubblewrap and that box and the cost of someone's time to make up a label, wrap and send the thing (I'm not forgetting that the yen is stronger than the won) and the shipping charges seem more than reasonable to me. Nobody in S Korea would get rich charging $9 for shipping 700g packages to the USA or UK.
I see your point, Loretta. I do think, generally, places like Bento and Co. and Jbox are a better deal for shipping - at least, I've found that to be the case in my personal experience.
I think that bento on ebay are so NICE!!!!
Reasonable Price with bubble wrap. NEW & Great Quality
IT's!!!! CUTE!
THANKS! I will Buy it!!

No Kings Collective has been consistently popping up around DC for years. Peter Chang and Brandon Hill are the duo behind the collective, which they describe as serving "a community of area artists, businesses, and city organizations through social networking events, exhibits, and special projects." Their biggest splash? 2011's flash-art "happening" Submerge – which brought over a dozen artists to a group exhibition. It created such a sensation that the duo repeated the event the following year.
Just three years after 'Submerge' the pair opened their permanent home, Hierarchy in early February of this year. The brightly lit Adams Morgan space picks up on all the gallery trends of late – white walls, concrete floors and an exposed ceiling. Peter Chang of No Kings describes Hierarchy as "an ever-evolving, chameleon exhibition space featuring monthly artist exhibitions and weekly creative programming."
A joint show from DECOY and Cory Oberdorder kicked Hierarchy off, and in mid-March Kelly Towles put on his first solo show in eight years at the space. His spiky, fantastical murals depict a world inspired by Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Chang and Hill plan for a mix of local exhibiting artists "grounded in a variety of mediums" but are also looking to solicit upcoming national and international artists to the mix. Mathew Curran's Shred is up next.
No Kings has worked with the Popal family, owners of sleek restaurants/third places Café Bonaparte, Napolean and Malmaison. Hill and Chang put on one of their classic pop-up exhibitions for the Water Street Project, which the Popals made permanent as Malmaison. That relationship has ensured that Hierarchy can support No Kings' particular brand of purveying, which brings trendy, largely street art-inspired work by emerging artists to settings typically occupied by in-the-know partiers looking for a night out – not solely collectors or traditional aficionados.
"We wanted to create a project free of the politics and pitfalls of traditional gallery spaces," says Chang. "Hierarchy is a space of total creative freedom for us, the Popal family, and most importantly for the exhibiting artists." He continues, "We started No Kings Collective to give a voice and a platform to emerging artists, but we always had to rely on temporary pop-up spaces to do so. With Hierarchy, we can dream bigger than ever before."
No Kings Offers DC a bit of Hierarchy

The National Soccer Coaches Association of America has released its All America and All Region teams for the recently concluded 2013 season, and several locals have been honored for their stellar play.
Penn State's Maya Hayes (West Orange, Jr.) is a Division 1 first team All America selection for the second year in a row. The forward out of Newark Academy was a vital cog in the Nittany Lions reaching the NCAA finals, where they lost to North Carolina, 4-1. Hayes scored 16 goals (four match winners) this season, with six assists. She was also a semifinalist for the Missouri Athletic Club's Herrmann Trophy, emblematic of the country's top player. Hayes is also a first team member of the All-Great Lakes Region squad.
West Virginia's Kate Schwindel (Livingston, Soph.) found a spot on the Division 1 All-Central Region second team. Schwindel, a forward out of Livingston High, knocked in nine goals for the Mountaineers (11-5-4) and managed a team-high eight assists.
Kutztown's Sam Costello (Westfield, Soph.) earned All-Atlantic Region second team kudos. A Westfield High product, Costello led the Golden Bears in goals (8), match-winning goals (3) and was tied for the team lead in assists (4). Kutztown ran off an 11-6-2 season.
Johns Hopkins forward Hannah Kronick (Westfield, Soph.) is a Division 3 third team All America selection. The Westfield High grad banged in 24 goals in a season that saw the Blue Jays go 18-5-1. Four of those tallies won the match. She also assisted on nine goals. She also made the NSCAA's All-Mid Atlantic first team.
That Mid Atlantic team also featured Wilkes midfielder Katy Fissel (Madison, Sr.) as a second team honoree. Fissel, a Madison High alum, scored seven goals (four match winners) for the Colonels, while managing five assists in a 12-5-5 campaign.
Montclair State's Mark Lubetkin (Livingston, Sr.) gained recognition on the Division 3 All-America first team in the backfield, as well as the All-South Atlantic Region first team. The Livingston High grad led a crack defensive unit that allowed only 21 goals in 23 contests, while racking up nine shutouts. The Red Hawks had a 19-3-1 season.
Colorado College's Matt Fechter (Westfield, Sr.) earned a spot on the Division 3 All-West first team at forward. The Pingry alum scored 16 goals for the Tigers, five of which won the match, and assisted on 15 others. Colorado College issued a 14-5-3 record this season.
Bucknell's Brendan Burgdorf (Westfield, Sr.) completed his career with a season worthy of Division 1 All-Mid-Atlantic Region second team selection. This Pingry grad scored three goals this season and set up five others as the Bison managed a 7-8-5 record.
Austin Little (Maplewood, Soph.) scored a game-high 16 points to lead Oberlin to a 52-51 victory over Denison in Oberlin, Ohio on Monday. Little, a 5-11 guard, launched all eight of his field goal attempts from outside the three-point arc and got five of them to drop. He also made his only free throw. The Yeomen ticked up to 3-6.
Both Patrick Sabatino (Westfield, Soph.) and Russ Thompson (West Orange, Sr.) of Stevens Tech hit double figures in the scoring column in Sunday's 71-65 road loss to NYU. Sabatino knocked down five of seven field goal attempts and one of four free throws for 11 points, while Thompson got 10 points on 4-for-10 shooting from the floor, including 2-for-8 from Bleecker St. Sabatino also had six rebounds and three rejections, while Thompson got his hands on five caroms. The Ducks are now 6-1.
Jordan Healey (Summit, Sr.) tossed in seven points to help Ithaca defeat St. Lawrence, 82-63, in Canton, N.Y. on Tuesday. Healey nailed three of seven field goal attempts, including his only try from outside the three-point line. He also managed four rebounds, four assists and two steals as the Bombers improved to 4-3.
Kaitlyn Cresencia (New Providence, Soph.) has a role on the Connecticut College Camels and it apparently emphasizes ball distribution and defense. She took just one shot in 28 minutes of Sunday's 54-43 victory in New London, Conn. over crosstown rival Coast Guard, but she did pull down six rebounds and garner two assists. The Camels improved to 5-4 with the win.
Union College's Anne Trojanowski (Chatham, Soph.) won the women's 1,650-yard freestyle at the Liberty League Championships, held recently in Rochester, N.Y. She came through with a winning time of 18:26.43. She also scored points with a fourth-place finish in the 500-yard freestyle (her 5:19.72 against a winning 5;14.97), an eighth-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly (her 2:19.27 against a winning 2:09.52), and a 10th-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle (her 2:01.50 against a winning 1:56.67).
Rensselaer Poly's Ellen Tomljanovich (Scotch Plains, Soph.) earned points in the 100-yard breaststroke, in which she placed 11th (her 1:12.55 against a winning :06.96), in the 100-yard butterfly, in which she finished 14th (her 1:03.06 against a winning 57.11) and in the 200-yard individual medley, in which she finished 15th (her 2:22.07 against a winning 2:11/61)
Among the guys, RPI's Mike Rizzo (Scotch Plains, Soph.) was busy earning points in four dips. He did his best work in the 400-yard individual medley, with a second-place finish, in which he touched the wall in 4:18.92, with the winner in at 4:15.86. He also got fifth place in the 200-yard butterfly (his 2:00.46 against a winning 1:54.17), sixth place in the 200-yard breaststroke (his 2:17.31 against the winner's 2:14.11) and seventh place in the 200-yard individual medley (his 2:02.70 against a winning 1:56.63).
Tad Deatly (Summit, Jr.) of St. Lawrence scored points with his seventh-place finish in the men's 1,650-yard freestyle (his 17:43.34 against a winning 16:48.74) and his 15th-place finish in the 500-yard freestyle (his 5:06.09 against a winning 4:50.91).
Subsequent to the Liberty confab, Union visited Amherst College, where the host school enjoyed a 188-83 dual meet victory. Trojanowski was victorious in the 200-yard freestyle, which she completed in 2:00.19, while Amherst got a win out of Catherine Maguire (Westfield, Sr.) in the 100-yard breaststroke. She needed 1:11.44 to cover the distance.
Chris Mazzocchi (Madison, Jr.) of King's took fifth place recently at the RIT Invitational in Rochester, N.Y. Wrestling at 149 pounds, he began with victories over Case Western Reserve's Zack McCarthy, 12-4, and Washington & Jefferson's Chris Leva, a 12-2 major decision. Mazzocchi then suffered a 15-5 major decision at the hands of eventual champion Daniel Mirman of John Carroll University. In the consolation bracket, he lost, 6-4, to Oswego State's Abubakarr Sow, before getting fifth place from Worcester Poly's Tanner Burke.

Britney Spears Leaving 'X Factor'?: Report
The departures may be continuing for Simon Cowell's reality singing show "The X Factor," with Us Weekly reporting that Britney Spears and her $15 million contract will be following now-ex judge L.A. Reid out the door.
"It isn't working," said one source to the magazine regarding Spears' single season as a judge. Another annoyed insider chimed in that producers "paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps."
Yet another inside source indicated that it is Cowell who is pushing for Spears' departure. "He wanted crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney."
Reports aside, Spears has indicated she enjoys being on the show and told a red carpet interviewer in November that she "definitely" will be back for a second season.
In just two seasons, "The X Factor" has watched four judges come and go: Cheryl Cole, Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul and Reid, who announced his departure shortly before the season 2 finale on Dec. 20.
The shakeups come just two months after Reid told Billboard he was comfortable with the current panel, which also includes Demi Lovato.
"I'm actually very hopeful that 'X Factor' keeps the same panel going forward," fellow judge L.A. Reid told Billboard in October. "I think that we actually suffer a little but for not having that consistency in our panel."

Note: This release has been updated to reflect a correction to North Central's yardage totals in the box score.
After seeing its scoring totals dip in its first two College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin games, the North Central College football team headed into Saturday's matchup at Millikin University eager to make every possession count.
Nearly everydrive wound up counting in the scoring column for the sixth-ranked Cardinals, who blasted the Big Blue, 61-14, to improve to 3-0 in the CCIW and 5-1 overall.
North Central rolled up 669 yards of total offense in the contest, establishing a new single-game school record for total offense. The previous record of 657 was set against Augsburg College in 2005. The Cardinals gained 461 of their yards on the ground, establishing the third-highest single-game rushing total in the history of the program.
The Cardinals did take some time to get going, punting away their first possession near midfield. North Central began its second drive at its own 43-yard line following a Millikin punt, and got a 34-yard run from Jordan Tassio on the first play to get into Millikin territory. A 21-yard pass from Tyler Dicken to Kyle Fiedorowicz left the visitors just two yards from the end zone, and Tassio covered the remaining distance on the next play to give the Cardinals a 7-0 lead with 7:13 still to play in the first quarter.
Millikin (3-3, 1-2 CCIW) drove down to the North Central 28 on the ensuing drive, but failed on a fourth-down conversion attempt. The Cardinals moved the ball just across the midfield stripe in four plays before Dicken slung a 49-yard touchdown pass to Fiedorowicz, doubling the team's advantage to 14-0 as the first quarter ended.
The Big Blue ventured into North Central territory on their next drive as well, as yet another fourth-down conversion attempt at the Cardinals' 25-yard line was unsuccessful. Two plays later, Dicken went deep again, throwing a 68-yard TD strike to Bai Kabba to leave the score at 20-0 in North Central's favor. It was Kabba's first action since the season opener at the University of Redlands, when he sustained an injury.
The Cardinals took possession following yet another failed Millikin fourth-down conversion at the Big Blue 46, and drove down to the home team's 14-yard line before fumbling. The ball was scooped up by Millikin defensive lineman Erik Louis Charles, who returned it 86 yards for the Big Blue's first score of the day with 3:36 left in the first half.
Joe Antonacci returned the ensuing kickoff 35 yards to the Millikin 45, where the Cardinals began the final scoring drive of the first half. A pass from Dicken to Nick Slezak and a defensive pass interference penalty moved North Central into striking distance, and Dicken eventually capped off the drive with a four-yard scoring pass to Alex Haan with 1:13 on the clock. The Cardinals went into halftime with a 26-7 advantage.
North Central had the ball first to start the third quarter, but a penalty on the second-half kickoff forced the Cardinals to start on their own nine-yard line. The visitors traveled nearly the length of the field in 11 plays, scoring on Mike Boettcher's 21-yard run with 10:55 on the clock. Three plays later, North Central defensive back Shane Dierking intercepted a pass at the Cardinals' 15-yard line. A 20-yard run by Nick Kukuc and Dicken's 14-yard pass to Nick Hicks preceded a 48-yard run by Boettcher, who finished the drive with a three-yard touchdown run on the next play as North Central's lead ballooned to 40-7.
The Cardinals got their next score on special teams, as Caleb Bednarz fielded a Millikin punt at his own 20-yard line and returned it 80 yards to the end zone, completing the second-longest punt return in school history and running a punt all the way back for the second time this season. Dierking ended the next Millikin possession with his second interception of the day, but the Cardinals were forced to punt. North Central carried a 47-7 advantage into the final period.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, Millikin was finally able to score its only offensive touchdown of the afternoon, as quarterback Matt Holmes connecting with running back Sean Dunning on a 58-yard touchdown pass to leave the score at 47-14. The Cardinals responded with a 10-play, 63-yard drive that exclusively featured the running game and ended with a five-yard TD run by Boettcher with 9:25 to play. The Big Blue went three-and-out on their next drive, and North Central took to the ground again, as a six-play, 75-yard scoring jaunt was capped off by Boettcher's 34-yard TD run with 4:36 to play.
Boettcher finished the day with 186 rushing yards on just 15 carries, and tied a single-game school record with his four rushing touchdowns. Kukuc also established a new career best, gaining 152 yards on 12 attempts. Dicken completed 10 of 23 passes for 208 yards, as Fiedorowicz caught three passes for 79 yards and Nick Slezak made a trio of grabs for 38 yards. Tharryn Wright and Joey Michals were the team's top tacklers, each recording eight total stops. The Cardinals averaged 8.8 yards per play and outgained Millikin by nearly 300 yards.
Holmes completed 14 of 37 passes for 180 yards and was also Millikin's top rusher with 85 yards on 14 carries. Big Blue defensive back Nick Kronmiller recorded a game-high 14 tackles.
The Cardinals play their final road game of the regular season on Saturday, traveling to face 16th-ranked Illinois Wesleyan University (6-0, 3-0 CCIW). Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.
North Central's Offense Hits Full Stride at Millikin
|No. 6 North Central (Ill.) (5-1)

SOURCE: Genomind
February 06, 2014 09:00 ET
CHALFONT, PA--(Marketwired - February 06, 2014) - For some patients, the key to successful behavioral health treatment may be in their genes. That's the concept behind a new program at Princeton House Behavioral Health, which uses DNA tests to help identify medications that will prove most effective.
The program -- which was piloted at Princeton House's Mount Lucas Road, Princeton, outpatient site beginning in January -- uses the Genecept™ Assay, a tool developed by the personalized medicine company Genomind to help psychiatrists understand genetic and biological markers and how they affect a patient's response to treatment.
A patient provides a saliva sample that is tested in a laboratory to analyze key indicators related to the patient's metabolism and brain chemistry.
The test results will determine how the patient's body metabolizes different medications and how they may affect his or her behavior.
The psychiatrist then uses the information to aid in the design of a personalized treatment plan for the patient.
David Cordon, MD, Vice Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Princeton House, said personalized medicine offers a new option for treating patients who have had limited success with prior therapies. The approach also may help avoid side effects, such as weight gain, that are associated with certain medications.
"We're accounting for the individual differences that are written into each patient's DNA," Dr. Cordon said. "This is particularly helpful in psychiatry because many of the common illnesses we treat have a significant genetic component."
For example, genetic information can enhance the treatment of conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, OCD and ADHD.
"We believe the genetic tests will help us find effective treatments and limit side effects, even for patients who have been treatment resistant multiple times in the past," Dr. Cordon said.
"It is rewarding for Genomind to partner with a leader like Princeton House in bringing this new information to clinical practice and patient care," said Jay Lombard, DO, Genomind's Co-Founder, Chief Scientific Officer, and Medical Director. "We share their mission of improving care for patients with psychiatric conditions which are often difficult to treat."
Even though genetic testing in behavioral health is a fairly new practice, it is covered by many insurances. However, not all patients will be tested. The need will be evaluated based on several factors, including past treatments, and the technology is currently not offered at Princeton House's main inpatient campus in Princeton, where individuals tend to be in treatment for a much shorter duration than in the outpatient settings.
Princeton House's Mount Lucas location is the first outpatient facility in New Jersey to use the Genecept Assay. Additional Princeton House outpatient sites in North Brunswick, Princeton, Hamilton and Moorestown will soon begin using the Genecept Assay as well.
A unit of Princeton HealthCare System, Princeton House offers a full range of partial hospital and intensive outpatient services for children, adolescents and adults who are dealing with mental health issues, substance abuse or both. For more information, please visit www.princetonhouse.org or call 1-888-437-1610.

From my continuing weekly Sunday series of cats in art. I'm using some ideas from the coffee table book, The Cat in Art, by Stefano Zuffi.
Image credit Azerbaijan Rugs, here. Cornelius de Man, The Chess Players, c. 1670, Oil on canvas, 97.5 cm x 85 cm, held by Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, Hungary.
Zuffi comments:
In this home, a game of chess may mask an amorous "battle": as far as we can tell, the moves of the game are observed by a beautiful tabby cat, well cared for and groomed to perfection...This is one of the seventeenth-century works in which the cats' role as a domestic animal is most obvious.
Or maybe the cat is mentally beaming clues about strategic moves to the woman.

Springfield School District employees who handle large sums of money could soon be under tighter scrutiny and subject to financial background checks.
In response to a Southeast High School bookkeeper being arrested in October for allegedly stealing more than $100,000, district officials say they�ve begun implementing more stringent safeguards.
Gina McLaughlin-Schurman, the district�s human resources director, said the district is in preliminary talks with a third-party provider to perform financial background checks.
Criminal background checks are currently done on employees, but those checks may not detect serious financial struggles, McLaughlin-Schurman said.
A review by The State Journal-Register found that the bookkeeper, Amy Day, 44, appeared to have had significant financial troubles for more than 20 years, despite overseeing thousands in Southeast High�s finances.
Day and her husband filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and had their wages garnished by a court order more than a dozen times to settle small claims against them since 1990
Day has pleaded not guilty to one count of theft of more than $100,000, a Class 1 felony that carries a penalty ranging from probation to four to 15 years in prison.
She has been out of jail since Oct. 25 after posting a $5,000 bond and no longer works for the school district.
McLaughlin-Schurman said the financial background checks would be limited to people who deal with large accounts and would not include every person who works at a concession stand, for example.
The district is still negotiating the cost per employee screened.
�You can never completely protect yourself, but if there are red flags, we definitely would want to know that ahead of time,� she said.
Financial background checking is one of several steps the district is taking to prevent something similar from occurring in the future, according to outgoing interim superintendent Bob Leming.
The district hired a firm to conduct a forensic audit to determine how much money was stolen from the Southeast accounts and whether anyone else was involved. Officials believe Day acted alone, he said.
Joe Bascio, the district�s interim business services director, said the audit should wrap up in a few weeks. When the audit determines how much money was taken, the district can submit an insurance claim and recoup the full amount minus a $10,000 deductible, Bascio said.
He also said his office will audit school records on a more regular basis to compare what�s listed in a school account versus the amount of money in the bank. Those checks used to be done only once per year, he said.
In addition, Leming said the plan is to retrain staff to better enforce the district�s current policy of having two people sign off on deposits.
�We�re taking steps to try not to let this happen again,� he said.

Aftermarket Gauges In A Stock Chevy DashPosted in How To on January 1, 2012
Have you ever looked at your stock Chevy dash and thought to yourself, Man, I bet I could fit Auto Meter gauges in that dash bezel if I just tried? It is possible. We saw it in a truck one time and decided we had to have that in our own Chevy. There is nothing that brightens up a stock '73-to'87 dashboard like completely replacing the instrument cluster with an array of Auto Meter gauges.
It's not too hard once you actually get into it. If you can do some simple wiring and soldering, then you can make the conversion to your own dash. Most of the time, we see it done on Jeeps or '73-to-'87 Chevys and GMCs, but there is no limitation to custom work.
01. Four gauges are shown. The two on the left are short-sweep electric gauges. On the right are full-sweep electric gauges.Short-sweep electric gauges are the earlier instrument design in use since at least the '80s. They use an resistive type sensor that relies on making a ground connection with whatever they are threaded into. They utilize a 90-degree sweep to cover their entire scale, making fine distinctions between numbers more difficult to discern while traveling at speed. They are a cost effective upgrade over conventional original equipment instruments and are suitable for street and high performance use. Full-sweep electric gauges represent top of the line gauge technology. They have a 270-degree sweep with a higher degree of accuracy than both the (short-sweep) electric or mechanical gauges. They use solid-state sensors which are more compact and resistant to vibration. But the cost for a full-sweep gauge is about double what you would pay for a short-sweep one.Auto Meter's Kris Carlson recommends using a combination of both short-sweep and full-sweep gauges to get most bang for your buck. Oil pressure and temperature gauges can benefit from a full-sweep range, but you can probably get away with short-sweep gauges for fuel and voltage readings.
02. A fair amount of the old Chevy dash bezels crack in some way—including ours—so it was a no-brainer to start with an LMC Truck replacement dash bezel. Since we were putting in such nice gauges, it seemed silly to put them in anything less than a brand new dash bezel.
03. To plug the gauges into the dash bezel, we started cutting the rings on the bezel with a Dremel cutting tool. If you're doing this on a '73-to-'87 Chevy, please note that all dashes are not the same! The four smaller holes on the left of the bezel are actually different sizes in the '80s dashes when compared to the '70s. For the '80s bezel, you might find that 2 5/8 gauges work better than the 2 1/16 gauges (which work better in the '70s dashes).
04. After we initially cut the gauge holes of the bezel, we switched up the Dremel bits and then sanded the holes smoothly, taking time to check the hole size as we went along.
05. As you cut, constantly check the fitment of the gauges into the dash bezel holes as you trim and smooth the holes for the gauges. Ideally, you want the gauges to fit snuggly in the bezel, even without the backing cups. And you definitely don't want to make the holes so big that the gauges fall through the bezel!
06. Depending on what size gauge you're installing or what dash bezel you're working with, you'll need to trim, cut, and smooth until you're satisfied with how the gauges fit. If the gauge's fit in the bezel is very snug, you may be able to get away with not running the backing cup, but we put backing cups on all our gauges so they never vibrate out in off-road conditions.
07. Wiring up gauges is not difficult but it is time consuming, and doing a good job takes even longer. Auto Meter includes all the sensors and senders necessary with each gauge. Wiring for most gauges consists of a power wire, a ground, a sender wire, and the illumination wiring.
08. To add the Auto Meter gauges into your Chevy dash bezel, you'll need to cut out and remove the factory instrument cluster and wiring behind the dash bezel. We suggest not trying to reuse any of the old wiring, and instead just get rid of it. You're better off running all new wiring to each sender or sensor for your Auto Meter gauges.

Cowboys To Play in Hall of Fame Game
The Cowboys will play in the NFL Hall of Fame game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday August 8th this summer. The game will air on NBC at 7 p.m. Central time.
It will be great to have the Cowboys play in Canton following Emmitt Smith's enshrinement into the Hall of Fame.
This will mark the Cowboys fourth time in franchise history to play in the NFL's Hall of Fame game, the last was in 1999.
The special exhibition game also means the Cowboys will have five preseason games instead of the usual four.
It's nice to know the team that Emmitt loved so much will be there supporting him during this memorable time in his life.
Props to the NFL for recognizing Emmitt and the Cowboys (for a change).

Great question!
When snapping a tile into a "corner" of tabs, there are several methods that work well.
1) Place the tile as close as possible to the final position, and then tap the opposite corner of the tile with a rubber mallet (basically, you tap the corner at a 45 degree angle, diagonally). It will seat nicely. It helps to stand on the two staionary tiles.
2) You can use a tapping block and mallet to "dance" the tile into position. It is easier to go back and forth rather than overcome the friction of all 16 tabs at once.
3) After some practice, you can "dance" the tile into the corner by hand. Be careful and wear gloves - the tabs can be sharp!
With a little practice, you'll master the corner install in short order!
If the fit is a bit tight, you can use some dish soap and a basting brush to moisten the tabs.
We'll add a video of both techniques to the website.

Snapping along two edges
Author: Mark
Date: 9/1/2008 7:57 pm EDT
I don't understand how to snap the tiles together in two directions. In other words, snapping a new tile in when there is a tile already in place in front of the new tile and along the side.
