The folks at MIT unveiled a new invention that allows you to reach through a screen and interact with real objects.
It sounds unbelievable, but it isn't. The invention turns 3-dimensional data from the user into physical representations in real time, and all from a remote location. (Via Vimeo / Tangible Media Group)
The device, which was created by MIT researchers and students, is called inFORM.
CNET explains inFORM's " ... grid is powered by an elaborate system of computer-controlled linkages and actuators under the table. Meanwhile, an overhead Kinect and projector deliver data on user motion into the system while casting visual feedback onto the table."
Boston Magazine explains this process allows ...
" ... someone on the other end of a video conference call to have a 'strong sense of presence and the ability to interact physically at a distance,' almost as if they were physically there." (Via Boston Magazine)
Valuewalk says the invention could change the way people work, and could eventually mean that everyone would be able to work from home.
" ... the possibility is there. If the resolution of the device is increased, and the device is made more portable, it could be used to allow people with technical knowledge to work from across the world and still have their presence felt."
But don't get too excited about working from home any time soon. There is only one inFORM currently in existence, and researchers say they have a lot more testing to do before the know just what all the machine will be able to accomplish.

From EatingWell: May/June 2008
French onion soup is a favorite but it usually isn't substantial enough to make a complete meal. We've solved this problem by adding fiber-rich chickpeas to a broth flavored with sherry and three kinds of onions. Of course, we didn't forget the gooey topping, we've just made it a little lighter and a lot easier to prepare at home—simply top toasted whole-wheat bread with cheese and pour the soup on to melt it.

When I use the magic wand in Photoshop CS5, it selects the entire image, not just the section I'm hovering over. I'm working in a Windows environment.
Any suggestions?
I found that by changing the color mode to RGB, the tool works properly, but I do need to be able to use the tool in CMYK.
Try resetting the magic wand tool by right clicking on the magic wand icon in the tool options bar and choosing reset tool.
Also check what the sample size is set for the eyedropper tool (that effects the magic wand)
You probably want one of the first three settings.
Very last button, under the 2 color boxes "Edit in Quick Mask/Edit in Standard Mode". Standard Mode needs to be checked. I finally figured it out. It happens if you accidently press "Q".

Gov. LePage's inappropriate comments Thursday came at a tea party rally where he was obviously trying to stoke resentment between Democrats and Republicans.
It's almost not news anymore when Gov. LePage insults the people of his state and embarrasses them before the rest of the nation. But remarks he made after a tea party rally Thursday were a new low.
The governor attacked Democratic state Sen. Troy Jackson, mocking his motives, livelihood and intelligence. ("People like Troy Jackson, they ought to go back into the woods and cut trees and let someone with a brain come down here and do some good work.")
Then he made a crude sexual reference that would have been inappropriate in any classroom or workplace.
The governor's loyal supporters -- and there are a lot of them -- will rush to his defense, saying that he is a blunt, plainspoken man who has taken plenty of lumps in the increasingly rough game of politics in Maine. But this time, that's not enough to excuse his behavior.
LePage is a governor -- one of only 50 in the United States -- and he represents the whole state every time he speaks. All 1.3 million of us have a right to expect him to take that responsibility seriously and not behave as if he were hanging out in a bar with his buddies when he stands in front of a microphone and camera.
And if Maine politics has gotten rough lately, no one is more responsible than the governor, whose loose tongue and power plays have changed the way things get done in Augusta. Thursday's outrageous comments came at a campaign-style rally in which he was advocating for a vote against the bipartisan budget, knowing that would almost certainly shut down the government he is supposed to lead.
LePage may not have scripted every word of his attacks, but his intent was clear. He was trying to stoke resentment between Democrats and Republicans, upset a carefully crafted budget deal and try to peel off enough Republican votes to wreck it.
This divide-and-conquer style of politics is the hallmark of the LePage era, and legislative Republicans' willingness to play along, even after it cost them their majorities in the House and Senate in the last election, remains a mystery.
This time at least, they should see that he has gone too far and that it would tarnish all of their reputations if Republican legislators were to follow his leadership into a shutdown.
Given their reputations for civility, maybe party leaders like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, who are scheduled to attend a fundraiser for the governor, will also think twice about associating with him.
LePage may not be talking to this newspaper these days, but he should be talking to the people of Maine, and when he does he should give them the apology they deserve.

OpenSocial, the simple version
I had a chance to sit down with David Glazer, a director of engineering at Google, and talk with him about OpenSocial and related projects. From this man on the inside of the project, I wanted to get a picture of what OpenSocial will mean to Web users, and find out when.
What it is, what it isn't
OpenSocial is an application platform that big Web sites and social networks can choose to support. If a developer writes a product for OpenSocial, then users on any network that supports OpenSocial will be able to run it on their profile … Read more

To yesterdayeeeeee…….(cooleyhighharmony, y'all).
Raymond Felton, Ray-MOND Felton! We will miss you, sir.
Nothing official at press time but it's likely that the man from Latta, SC is likely bound elsewhere. To me this is sad in a way. Disappointing that after 5 years the Bobcats are so willing to depart with a solid point guard while we have no real options outside of DJ Augustin who has been serviceable but not quite what you'd expect to start on a (former?) playoff team.
Can you blame Raymond at this point for not signing to an extension last summer? Read this quote from Cory Elfrink at Rototimes.com:
The timing couldn't be better for Raymond Felton. Although he's had a mediocre five seasons, he finds himself atop a very weak point guard class and has a long list of suitors. A year ago, he would have had to compete with Jason Kidd, Andre Miller, Allen Iverson, Mike Bibby, and Jarrett Jack for consideration. This year it's Kyle Lowry, Luke Ridnour, Jordan Farmar, and Steve Blake.
Mediocre, yeah ok I can accept that classification. Ray has been nothing but a rock solid PG and player. Great work off the court as well. His work with the Second Harvest Food Bank has been fantastic. When I was doing a bit of research for this post I came across his intention to play in a celebrity golf tournament down in Myrtle Beach. The guy got an award at the Black Tie Gala, which yours truly attended of course. I got to meet the man that night and I'm glad I did.
Mediocre? Did I say that's an ok classification for Ray? Wrong….Among active players he's tenth in assists per game (not among PG, ALL active players); and with 1.4 steals per game, among active leaders. He rebounds, plays the entire floor, plays hurt, defensively pretty much as much as you could ask for. Larry Brown loves him, Gerald Wallace loves him, I love him. So? He didn't like the $6 mil/year he was offered last year? That hurt Rod Higgins, Michael Jordan and whoever else that makes decisions feelings? Is that what I'm hearing?
Here's a little insight from Raymond's agent, Tony Dutt: "We are moving forward with the understanding Charlotte does not want to spend any more money, Raymond has enjoyed playing in Charlotte." Tony has been gracious enough to email me back a few times today. I really appreciate it, not really having credentials or whatever but he just answered my questions. I understand their position. But I've been trying to wrap my head around the team's side of things but I just can't get there.
I guess, it's as Spectre said: Yes we need him (TJ Ford ain't no upgrade), but we don't have the space to re-sign him. I figure we'll let him walk due to financial considerations. Didn't Shinn get blasted repeatedly for letting FAs go because of money?
While I don't think it's along the lines of letting Alonzo Mourning walk, it's a big deal. The team is at $59 and half million, that's no Ray, I don't even see D. Brown hitting under that number for some reason. The cap is projected at $56.1 million. While the luxury tax threshold is around $65 million, the Bobcats have no desire to get near it. I'm no CBA expert but I know you pay twice for every dollar over the number, it's just not gonna happen.
So, we move on, Raymond moves on. Sorry to see this guy leave the team and the city.
You want to feel even worse? Lots of interest for Tyrus Thomas! I just saw this from Hoopsworld's Yannis Koutroupis:
"Thomas is someone the Knicks have had their eye on for months. He's currently a restricted free agent for the Charlotte Bobcats, but his value is quickly rising above the $6.2 million qualifying offer made by the 'Cats. For instance, the one-dimensional Channing Frye is sitting on a 5-year $25 million offer from the Suns in hopes of getting more from another team. If Frye, Gooden, and Darko are worth nearly the full MLE than the Knicks could definitely justify giving Thomas $7-8 million a year to pry him away from the Bobcats."
This feed is killing me: Hoopsworld… Since I started writing this Alex Kennedy posted that Minnesota is highly interested as well as New York and not only that but they're now reporting that Channing Frye is being offered $30 million from the Suns! $30 million for a guy who can't do a whole lot more than shoot. Meanwhile, we have DeSagana Diop on the books for the next 3 seasons at about $7 million each! Ahhhhhhh!
Sorry I'm done, can't get over it and don't want to make it any worse.

Citing total worldwide sales of 250,000 units for its X6 Sports Activity Vehicle as one reason for building the 2015 X4 Sports Activity Vehicle, BMW is introducing its newest 5-door fastback crossover SUV at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
At the 2014 New York Auto Show, the new 2015 BMW X4 will roll onto a stage for the first time, the latest in a lineup of what the automaker refers to as a Sports Activity Coupe.
Though it might look the same on the outside, albeit updated with sharpened lines, the new 2015 Audi TT is completely redesigned and thoroughly modernized.
Designed to what Audi claims is a "less is more" philosophy, the redesigned 2015 TT and TTS models debuted at the 2014 Geneva International Motor Show.
Jeep introduced the new 2015 Renegade at the 2014 Geneva International Motor Show, debuting the new compact SUV to a global audience in part because it will be sold in more than 100 different markets all around the world.
Jeep says that it seeks "youthful and adventurous customers" with the new 2015 Renegade, a compact SUV that will be available to buyers around the world.
Lexus is slowly but steadily injecting pizzazz and performance into its various models, and that includes the all-new 2015 Lexus RC that debuts this fall as a 2-door coupe, and which was revealed in new RC 350 F Sport trim at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
Compared with the year prior, February 2014 light-vehicle sales failed to notch an expected increase, but neither did the final tally reflect a notable decrease, meaning that the market held steady in the face of meteorological fury.
Chrysler Group is recalling some 2014 Ram ProMaster vans that may have a damaged brake hose.
According to an analysis by the Power Information Network (PIN) from J.D. Power, new car buyers are taking advantage of long-term loans and leasing programs at record levels.
At the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the Mini Clubman Concept debuts, foreshadowing a distinct departure from the current Cooper Clubman model and signaling greater separation from the Cooper lineup in terms of size and styling.
The use of long-term loans and leasing for new-vehicle retail sales is on pace to reach record levels in February, according to an analysis by J.D. Power.
According to a monthly auto sales forecast from J.D. Power and LMC Automotive, demand for new vehicles in the United States remains strong even as severe winter weather has suppressed sales since the start of 2014.
The 2015 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is the world's first front-wheel-drive Bimmer--a 5-passenger multi-purpose vehicle that the automaker claims offers traditional BMW driver engagement.
Globally, the Ford Focus is the best-selling nameplate in the world, and for 2015 the car receives a mid-life refresh that adds revised styling, modern technologies, and a new, more fuel-efficient engine option.

Royal reception for masters student
When fine art student Peter Tilley was introduced to Crown Princess Mary at the first Sculpture by the Sea exhibition in Denmark in June 2009, he was delighted to find that she knew all about his work. "I had a wonderful discussion about my work with her. She liked it and it was a huge high for me," Tilley said.
After a 30-year career as a ceramicist and sculptor, Tilley decided to do a Master of Philosophy (Fine Art) because his work had reached the stage where he needed to do "some really serious research". He said he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the ancient Egyptian funerary culture that influenced his work. "I want to refine the objects and symbolism that I am working with so people can understand my sculptures better."
His program of study also allowed him to use the University's studio space and foundry he needed to develop new sculptures of metal and wood pieces.
His figurative sculptures often show an androgynous figure, with a suitcase, standing in or near a doorway. Sometimes the person contemplates a staircase at the top of which a boat floats in space. At other times, the figure stands under a cloud or seems lost in the woods. The pieces have titles like 'Waiting for wisdom', 'Seize the day' and 'Dreaming and surviving'.
"A lot of my work is about embarking on a journey or new adventure and seeking an answer," Tilley explained. The doorway is inspired by the false door, a recess in Egyptian tombs through which the spirit of the dead accessed the living world.
For most of his career, Tilley worked as a ceramicist, making seemingly simple vessels that "went beyond the everyday". Some of his containers were based on canopic jars, which held mummified Egyptian body parts.
Then about six years ago, Tilley started making sculptures to express the feelings he had after his marriage ended. Appropriately, a recent exhibition of his was entitled 'Midway along the path of life'.
He has had solo exhibitions in Sydney and Melbourne and his work has been placed in prime sites at Sculpture by the Sea exhibitions in Australia.
Doing his Masters has given Tilley fresh inspiration. He sees his research as a personal means to an end. "It is not about employment or status. It is about informing my work and I should have done it years ago."
Advance your career. Check out the research and study options available at the University of Newcastle.

There were not many like Merlin Olsen, and now there is one less.
A great player out of Utah State, and by the way one of the few guys who can claim to have played a bowl game in New York City (the Gotham Bowl, which was short lived and is even less remembered), Merlin Olsen played 15 seasons for the Los Angeles Rams and made the Pro Bowl in 14 of those years.
In 15 seasons, how many games do you think he missed?
Two. The word "great" is often overused, but never when it has been applied to him.
His brother Phil played for the Denver Broncos and my heart goes out to Phil and to the entire Olsen family.
For many years Merlin Olsen was the color man alongside Dick Enberg for Broncos nationally televised games on NBC, and there truly could not be two finer gentlemen sitting next to each other doing a game. Long before Troy Aikman, Cris Collinsworth or Phil Simms, Olsen was the color voice for a generation of Broncos fans.
I got to know him fairly well over those NBC football years, and he was never, ever less than a perfect gentleman in every way.
A genuine gentle giant on the field, off the field his gracious personality closely resembled the one he had as his TV personal in the televisions show "Father Murphy," in which he starred.
During all those years playing for the Rams and with a television and acting career that followed, Merlin early on established residency in Los Angeles and never left the area.
For many years he lived in one of those picture perfect, idyllic tree-lined areas in Pasadena, truly a slice of upscale American that was hard to match.
I would always give him a call when the Broncos visited LA to play the Raiders, even if he was not doing our game that week, and he always found time to talk, never acting that the Hall of Fame player or famous actor and TV pitchman that he was, but just as a regular guy, with a regular family, telling me about his kids and asking about mine.
Merlin Olsen was unequivocally one of the most elegant gentlemen with whom I have had the pleasure of working in my career, and he will be missed by all.
Here is a statement from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on the passing of Olsen.
"Merlin Olsen was an extraordinary person, friend and football player. He was a tremendous Hall of Fame football player who then became an accomplished football broadcaster and actor. In recent years, it was an honor to work with Merlin on developing improvements for retired players. We all experienced how passionate and effective he was on that issue. He cared deeply about people, especially those that shared the game of football with him. Merlin was a larger-than-life person, literally and figuratively, and leaves an enormously positive legacy. On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our deepest sympathy to Merlin's wife Susan and the Olsen family."

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 1:21 p.m. Monday, July 27, 2009
By Jamie Dupree
I started digging again through the Democrats' health care reform bill, and I keep finding things that I'm sure will cause people to furrow their brow and ask for a repeat.
None of this is really electric stuff, but it confirms the thought that this bill is filled lots of different subjects, that we are just barely scratching the surface of what it does in the current health care debate.
So let's go through a few more pages of this plan.
Section 1306 of the bill would waive all deductibles for Colorectal cancer screening tests, "regardless of coding, subsequent diagnosis, or ancillary tissue removal."
There's no explanation given for why this one test would receive such special treatment, but I would bet there are lawmakers who are attuned to this one medical issue who might have pushed it.
The only other specific cancer issue that is mentioned in the bill is prostate cancer, which on page 492 is listed as a specific item that's part of "Medicare Covered Preventive Services."
And ladies, no, there is not one mention of breast cancer in this bill.
Another specific-area-of-concern thing might be at work in Section 1232, which gives extended coverage for "immunosuppressive drugs for kidney transplant patients."
It also gets a mention under that save list of Medicare covered services, as "Kidney disease education."
The reason I raise those is because it just seems like they got special treatment in this bill. Maybe I'm wrong, but with no mentions of words like breast, brain, liver, stomach and more, it at least deserves a second look.
How about the title of Section 1705 for some good government language, "Expanded Outstationing."
This basically makes it easier for people to apply for help from the government at "DSH" hospitals - Disproportionate Share Hospitals, which get money from the feds and states to treat indigent patients.
Section 1712 would drop the "Tobacco Cessation Exclusion From Covered Outpatient Drugs."
That would make tobacco cessation counseling a covered benefit for pregnant women, according to one review of this bill.
Medicare began covering some of these type services in 2005.
Finally, let's talk about the government exempting some of its operations from certain laws, in this case the Paperwork Reduction Act, which has a self-explanatory title.
This bill has one specific exemption from that law, in Section 1221 on "Ensuring Effective Communication in Medicare."
I will let you come up with some quick one-liners on how an excessive amount of paperwork might not ensure effective communication.
Remember, you can download the bill yourself at http://bit.ly/nSL2A
As we work through the details of these bills, I keep getting complaints about my effort to see what's in these, in other words an accusation of media bias against the Democrats and President Obama.
One person was especially aggravated at my blog about Section 2002, which had a special budgetary exemption, so that certain costs were not counted on budget.
"I love the idea of just not "counting" things in the budget Bush and Reagan did it all the time, especially with defense spending to their friends like Haliburton and KBR etc.," wrote Jacob.
"Please direct me to the coverage you did of that where you read every page and parsed it for us in those Reagan and W. Bush budgets, I can't seem to find that coverage," he added for good measure.
Happy to help you with that, Jacob.
The biggest reason I can do more of these stories now is the internet. When I started covering Congress in the 1980s, I would spend lots of time reading through bills and all the specifics.
Too bad I didn't have a blog then, but I sure did a lot of stories about pork barrel spending.
Now as for Jacob's complaint about targeting Obama and not a GOP President. How about September of last year, when this blog was one of the first to get the Wall Street Bailout bill on line?
Or maybe a big chunk of earmarks approved by a Democratic Congress and signed by a Republican President last year?
What about the text of the mortgage bailout plan from the Bush White House, which had the infamous language in Section 8, where no acts of the federal government could be reviewed by any court?
You could find all of those in the archives.
Just remember, from my vantage point, it doesn't matter who is in charge, because the money being spent isn't any different.

David Starr and Roy Martin gave the opening concert for the Chapel of the Cross concert season on Sunday.
Their ideally-blended voices and acoustic guitars in the unique setting of the chapel gave the audience an experience like being very comfortable in a favorite place – a happy favorite place.
Their music was a mellow and engaging blend of country and popular styles with the distinct rhythm in blues flavor that lends their distinctive honest and worldly reality to songs about family, feelings and love.
And what would a David Starr–Roy Martin Chapel performance be without Home-Grown Tomatoes? That Guy Clark favorite number of local audiences about the joys of true love and home-grown tomatoes was on the chapel concert play list: "Eat 'em with eggs, eat 'em with gravy; Eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy. Only two things that money can't buy and that's true love and home-grown tomatoes."
The Chapel concert series will provide music lovers with 25 performances this season. Sundays at 2 p.m. and Thursdays at 7 p.m. are the dates to mark on the calendar with the final performance set for Thursday, Aug. 29.

It is onboard but I'll have to wait till I get home to check what type - sorry about that.
: Is this onboard USB or a PCI/USB 2.0 card?: If onboard what host controller type is showing in the Device manager?
: Jeff Roberts: USBMan
: : : yeah
: : : : : Did you go to Windows Update and download and install the WinXP USB 2.0 drivers?
: : : Jeff Roberts: : : USBMan
: : : : Ok, I am running Windows XP Home with 4 USB 2.0 ports. My problem is that it lists 2 USB controllers and 2 USB Hubs in the Device Manager but also 1 Unknown Device. No matter what USB device I connect to the computer, it detects an "Unknown Device." I tried everything that Dell tech support suggested and finally I formatted and reinstalled Windows XP but the same thing happened. The only thing I could think of was that the system was attached to a cable line that was struck by lightning and it did something to the hardware. However, again - 2 USB controllers and 2 USB hubs show up in the device manager and it doesn't matter which of the 4 ports I use. I am one setp away of replacing the motherboard which I really don't want to do since Dell won't cover it as they claim it was caused by an "Act of God." The computer is just a couple weeks old. Any suggestions?

Full text not available from this repository.
Self-Determination Theory is a motivation theory based on the premise that people actively seek opportunities to develop to their fullest potential, and crucially, this motivation is regulated by the self. A longstanding principle of SDT is that this form of autonomous behavioural motivation and regulation lies in 'awareness' (Deci & Ryan, 1980). Recently, SDT research has incorporated mindfulness into its framework as an inner reserve that supports autonomous functioning and psychological need satisfaction, and thus facilitates wellness. Mindfulness has been posited to help people become attentive of the present and attuned to their internal states thus promoting healthier outcomes. As such mindfulness has had substantial attention regarding its relationship with wellbeing, stress reduction, higher levels of positive emotions, mood regulation expectancies and self-acceptance, which in turn results in better choices and ultimately, in less stress and conflict.

I wasn't going to talk about the Phillies winning the World Series on here, because frankly, it's not something that brings me a lot of joy. I don't like the Phillies. It's hard to like a group of people who have kicked you in the mouth for two straight seasons. Whether they may be a good team, it's hard for me to appreciate them, because what they do directly affects the Mets in a negative light. I can appreciate other good teams; I have appreciated the good Red Sox teams, for instance, and the Tampa Bay Rays were often a delight to watch in 2008. It's not that I can't appreciate good baseball, it's that I can't appreciate good baseball when it hurts the Mets. So there…those are my biases. I admit them.
At the same time…I have heard a lot about the Mets this postseason than I would have expected for a team that once again failed to make the playoffs. It seems that Phillies fans have taken as much delight in the Mets' failures as they have in their own triumphs, and I just find that to be particularly sad. This is the first championship for the city of Philadelphia in 25 years, and I would think with winning, most of these fans could get over petty rivalries. I guess that simply isn't the case.
Let's start with the Dodgers series. Game 2, Shane Victorino hits a home run that helps the Phillies win the game. Hey, congratulations, you should be thrilled. While running the bases, Victorino held one finger in the air, reminiscent of Jose Reyes during a key Phillies game back in August. Teammates later taped a picture of Victorino running the bases with the caption "J. Reyes" to the locker. And hey…it's kind of funny, I'll admit, although referring back to a game that happened two months ago to a team that they ultimately overcame comes off a bit obsessed, and for an event that pretty clearly got under the skin of the Phillies for allegedly showing them up, it sure was hypocritical of them to do the same thing to the Dodgers. I'd like to think that they had by now gotten over the Mets since they had beaten them for the second season in a row, but it's clear that the Mets are still lingering in the Phillies' minds.
After that strange incident, there was then talk from Phillies' GM Pat Gillick about how the rest of the NL East "hating" the Mets is the reason the Phillies have won the past two years, particularly mentioning taunting by other players. This struck me as particularly odd. First, it's not the Mets themselves that have a tendency to be particularly celebratory; it's Jose Reyes, who plays the game with his heart on his sleeve, for better or worse. Everybody else on the team seems pretty subdued to me, even a guy like Pedro Martinez (who, frankly, hasn't had much to celebrate in 2008 anyway). So again…it really feels like Gillick is singling out Jose Reyes and his "antics" as the reason the Phillies have won the division the last few years, because teams are playing them tougher as a result.
Is that really true, though? It sure seemed like the Braves played the Phillies tough the last week of the season; they took 2 of 3 in Philadelphia, and there were some bench-fights in that series, too. In fact, for all of Jose Reyes' taunting, quite frankly, Shane Victorino has come off as at least as much of an asshole as Reyes, particularly with that little league helmet of his. The Mets played the Braves, Marlins, Phillies, and Nationals a total of 72 times, without incident; in fact, the Mets failed to get into a single fight all season. Sure, the Marlins don't seem to have a whole lot of love for Jose Reyes (or Mike Pelfrey, for that matter), but frankly, the Marlins' pitching had been good all season; their pitching had at least a fighting shot at beating the Mets in the last series because they sent three pretty good pitchers to the mound. Hatred for the Mets did not determine this season, and hatred for Jose Reyes sure didn't determine this season; fact is, the Mets just didn't play well enough to make the postseason. Gillick sells his own players short when he says things like this.
And then, there's the World Series championship itself. Congrats, Phillies fans, your team finally ended 25 years of futility for the city. You would think talk would be about how great this team was, and how they perservered through a tough 2005 and 2006 when the core just missed out on making the playoffs two straight years, and how they made some big breakthroughs to bring the championship home. Surely, the story would be about the Phillies and their great players that helped get the job done. Players like Chase Utley, who has emerged as one of the best overall players in the big leagues, or Ryan Howard, one of the premier sluggers in the game, or Cole Hamels, who should be one of the top 5-10 pitchers in baseball over the next 10 years. This is the story, right?
Well, sure seems like Harry Kalas is more obsessed with an event that took place one month ago, or that Mitch Williams is still talking about a guy who has been sitting at home watching the playoffs on TV. What's the point, to piss off Mets fans? Isn't that a bit petty? We aren't the story here, folks. We haven't been the story since September 29th-ish, after the Mets were eliminated. We aren't that important at this point, and frankly, we haven't been in some time. While I'm sure you guys are pretty happy that the NL team with the best record against the Phillies didn't make the playoffs, shouldn't you guys be over us by now? We stink. We've been done for months. Get over us.
Look, I know the city of Philadelphia doesn't know how to win. I understand that, because they haven't won anything in 25 years, this is a new concept for them. But part of winning should mean getting over past slights, which…to be honest, I can't think of any major slights the Phillies have endured against the Mets. The two seasons that have ever seen a Mets/Phillies pennant race in the history of baseball went in favor of the Phillies. The Mets are the ones who should have a complex here (and trust me, we do have a complex about this). We're the ones who just suffered back to back heartbreaking losses at the end of the season at the hands of the Phillies (and Brewers). We're the ones undergoing questions by stupid talk radio hosts saying that we need to break up the core (even though without the core, we finish 10-15 games back instead of 1). The fact that Phillies fans, players, and announcers have this weird complex about the Mets, a team that hasn't finished in the playoffs in two straight years, at the expense of the Phillies, just strikes me as sad.

Tuesday, April 10 the Lions Club of Camarillo generously provided and presented recognition plaques to the Frontier Mock Trial team. The plaques were presented to each team member by Lion President Joe Hohenwarter and were followed by a lovely dinner for the members, their families, coaches, and Frontier staff members.
Frontier participated in the Ventura County Mock Trial competition for the first time this year. Though fielding the smallest team in the competition - eleven, the team represented Camarillo, Somis, Port Hueneme and Oxnard. Due to its size 8 members were required to double up their roles and participate in every competition. Their efforts paid off; they came in 4th out of the 7 OUHSD schools and won the Team Spirit award for the county.
Frontier HS is exceptionaly grateful to the Camarillo Lions for their generous support throughout the experience.

Commencement 2011
Annapolis celebrates 219th Commencement
The soggy spring rain in Annapolis that moved the 219th Commencement ceremony indoors was soon forgotten as families and friends gathered to celebrate the accomplishments and promise of the 88 graduating seniors who received bachelor's degrees and 36 students from the Graduate Institute in Liberal Education who received master's degrees. Graduating seniors came from 26 states and 4 foreign countries.
The senior class chose their commencement speaker, Leo Pickens, athletics director and 1978 alumnus of the college. Mr. Pickens encouraged the graduates to practice the "arts of freedom" that are "no less than a path to excellence." He said, "This is what we celebrate today: your first strides on this path of freedom and excellence."
"Who are you under that cap and gown?" asked Mr. Pickens. "Whose are you? To what and to whom do you belong?...I hope one response may be 'to St. John's College, this tiny Republic of Letters.'" Read Mr. Pickens' Commencement speech.
In 2009, Mr. Pickens received the St. John's College Alumnus of Merit award for his dedication as a coach and mentor. When Mr. Pickens returned to his alma mater, St. John's College, in 1988 to run the athletics program, he brought a passion for the democratic learning that is at the heart of this distinctive liberal arts college. His coaching philosophy mirrors this. The college's co-ed intramural program is all-inclusive and the once-fledgling crew program—the college had only one rowing shell when Leo arrived as athletics director—has flourished under his steady direction.

text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Last year on Dyngus Day, Anderson Cooper had the kielbasa-sized case of the giggles talking about the Polonia tradition on his CNN show. Today, Cooper has a Tweet for the region. Cooper was invited multiple times by Dyngus Day Buffalo organizers to be part of this year's event. Cooper declined, citing his work schedule, and Tweeted that again Monday: "Happy #DyngusDay especially to everyone in #Buffalo. Unfortunately, I am working today but I hope you have a blast!" While Cooper is not here, Senator Charles Schumer tweeted "Late Night" host and soon-to-be future "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon would be in town for the festivities. We have since learned that was an April Fool's joke.

Football Drives HDTV sales, CEA Study Finds
Football Drives HDTV sales, CEA Study Finds
February 01, 2013
A new CEA study finds that football is more than just the national pastime – it's also an excuse to shop for a new TV. According to CEA's forthcoming
Sports and Technology Study V
, nearly a quarter (22 percent) of high-definition television (HDTV) owners in the U.S. bought a new set in order to watch the Super Bowl – the highest ranking sporting event to affect HDTV purchases.
But come Sunday night, TVs won't be the only CE devices capturing football fans' attention. Of the 70 percent of online U.S. adults who say they'll follow the championship game between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, 10 percent say they'll follow the game via social media. Meanwhile, eight percent say they plan to keep track of the score and stats online, while seven percent say they'll watch clips and highlights online, and another seven percent say they plan to stream the game live via the Internet.
Kevin Tillmann, senior research analyst at CEA, says sporting events have a strong track record of driving TV sales year after year. "The impact of these sports events on consumer electronic sales is even higher when factoring in TV accessories and premium broadcast services.
